About this Cook
When I was 24, a friend of mine showed me how to make homemade Shrimp and Scallop Fettuccini in a white wine, parmesan and herb sauce. I fell in love with cooking ever since. He showed me different tips and tricks from how to chop fresh herbs to how to season cookware. He was a good friend and I thank him for starting on my way to falling in love with cooking! Thanks Paul!
My favorite things to cook
Mostly, I like learning different things about preparing food, and using the "same 'ole" ingredients in different ways. I love spending time with my Punkin and watching UFC together!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Doing the exact opposite that my mother would do! Man, she was a bad cook. On the other hand, my Dad made a great Chicken and Dumplings!...I would post it, but it's pretty simple and probably already on here.
My cooking triumphs
I made up a simple blackened sirloin steak to cook on the grill, and I was invited to cook/sell them on the weekends at a yacht club in Beaufort, SC. They were very popular, even Tom Berenger was a fan!
My cooking tragedies
Whenever a steak goes over medium rare!

Bacon Jack Chicken Sandwich
This is the second time I've tried this recipe. The first time I made it, I thought it was great! This time, I changed a few things. First, I didn't use the pickels, second, I swaped hamburger buns for Organic Italian Flat Bread cut to sandwich size. I cooked the Bacon first and reserved the Drippings. I flattened a large Chicken Breast (enough for 3) between plastic wrap with a mallet. I mixed the Poultry Seasoning with the Bacon Drippings and rubbed over chicken. After searing the chicken on both sided on the grill, I moved it to the warming rack to finish cooking, turning a few times. Also, I split the bread and cut out the extra bread on the inside then placed them on the grill to toast. After the chicken was fully cooked, I took it off the grill and cut it into portion sizes, added the Bacon, Pepper Jack Cheese, Mozzarella, and Ground Black Pepper, then returned them to the warming rack. When the cheese melted, I placed them on the bread, added the condiments, including a little mayo. It was incredible! My wife said she would have gladly payed for this in a restaraunt, and that we could have it again the next day.

Grilled Caribbean Chicken Breasts
Excellent, easy, and delicious! I didn't have fresh oranges, so I used a good quality orange juice and sub'd with the Lime Zest. After reading the other reviews, I added a tablespoon of Honey and doubled the Hot Sauce. I also added a splash of Worcestershire Sauce. I beat the chicken to an even thickness between plastic wrap and marinated in a plastic freezer bag for approximately 30mins. Cooked on a gas/hybrid grill which adds some charcoal flavor. Sprinkled with Parsely and served. Because the chicken was flattened, it easily absorbed the marinade, so long marinating times aren't needed. Tender and juicy! I will be adding this one to my "CookBook"! Thank you.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp
Of course, ratings are from personal preference. Some would give this a 5 star. I made this exactly as per the recipe the first time, and found it lacking a bit in the "sweet" department and WAY too salty. The next time I made it, I upped the Honey and Orange Juice by a TBS, added a splash of cider vinegar, and cut out the salt. It was PERFECT! Thank you very much for this recipe!
