Comments: No Responses If you have never been to a Farmer’s Market now is a great time to go and the Las Vegas farmers market is a great one! They have the freshest fruits and vegetables. Not only that they offer handmade European style breads and cakes. This is also a great place to get local breads and pastries. It’s a great place to find some of the harder to find produce.

Fabulous Hot Chili Recipe

Posted On: May 7, 2009
Posted In: Home Cooking, In the Kitchen, My Food Blog, Recipes
Comments: No Responses Chili is one of my favorite spring time foods. This recipe packs a bit of a punch and works well on so many dishes. I like using it to make chili dogs or fries. I find that the more cheese you put on the final product the lesser the heat. It will help temper the heat if you are not as big on hot dishes. Hot Chili Yield: 6 Servings Ingredients: 2 table spoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) 1 lb ground beef 1 white onion diced 1 green pepper diced 1 ½ tablespoon of minced fresh garlic 1 can hot stewed chili tomatoes diced ½ cup ...

Comments: No Responses Blueberry Hill Family Diner has been serving Las Vegas since 1966. You will not find the Blueberry Hill Diner amongst the shining lights of the strip. But they are worth the little drive. They are known for their truly homemade buttermilk pancakes. Unlike so many restaurants they do not use pre-packaged pancake mix that you add milk to. These pancakes are stirred up fresh daily at the Blueberry Hill Diner. Their menu doesn’t stop there though. They have an impressive lunch and dinner menu with a lot of homemade favorites such as chicken ... Read More...

Comments: No Responses Las Vegas has amazing food but every once in awhile all I can think about is some Chicago deep dish pizza. Girodano’s has been serving this traditional dish for 34 years now and it has become a Chicago phenomenon. I absolutely love Giordano’s traditional Chicago deep dish pizza.
