Eggs Goldenrod Recipe courtesy of Betty Crocker. Thanks to the Sellers Family for sharing this wonderful dish with me! This was the first dish my wife ever cooked for me. I was hesitant to try it but, it is deceptively delicious. A simple recipe, you surely have the ingredients in your kitchen. My wife served it for dinner but, it is also a marvelous brunch dish. I had never heard of Eggs Goldenrod and thought it was something her midwestern parents had come up with. However, I couldn't be more...

New England-Style Corned Beef and Cabbage Serves 8 to10 A Note from the Chef: I suppose I should first mention the beef itself. Brisket is a very large meat area, one of eight "Primal Beef Cuts". There are eight initial cuts made when the steer begins the butchering process. These cuts are then separated into "Sub-Primal Cuts", like steaks and roasts. The brisket is located on the lower chest of the steer, with large amounts of connective tissue. This requires it being cooked for a long time...

Super Bowl Chili A Note From the Chef: This is my dad's Super Bowl Sunday Chili recipe. Today, when I make it, I saute the onion and bell pepper and brown the meat first. However, I remember my dad just dumping everything into the pot, giving it a good stir, bringing it to a boil and then, he turned it down to a simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes. During those 30 minutes he would prep bowls of accompaniments like, sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, "Frito's" corn chips...
