Homemade Baked Potato Chips

I’ve been making baked potato chips for years. But I never considered posting the recipe to CulinaryCory.com because I thought it might be a little too simple for your reading enjoyment.

Everything tastes better when it’s served in cute individual portions. While planning my menu for the Buitoni Pasta Party, I knew I wanted to serve a leafy salad to complement the rich pasta.

Roasted Corn & Zucchini Salad

Glazed Pork Kabobs

There are days when I feel like I don’t partake in the world of kabob cooking enough. Everything tastes better when cooked on a stick, right?

Baby Burgers on Foodo

I love a really good burger regardless of its size, choice of toppings or seasonings. When I lived in Chicago my go-to burger joint was T’s in Andersonville.

Grilled Seasonal Vegetables

I don’t know if it’s the warmer weather or if my taste buds are changing with age. But I’m finding myself leaning toward more seasonal and cleaner flavors.
