I will have to type this recipe myself somewhere as it is another family recipe. Contact me if you would like me to send you the recipe before I have a chance to post it.

Central Grocery Olive Salad Recipe →
What I learned from this recipe is that the olive salad itself is not what makes a sandwich a muffuletta sandwich. After doing some research, that seems to be more linked to the bread used but typically filled with the olive salad and cold cuts.

I decided to push my contact paper stencil screen printing method and try a three color screen print as a birthday gift for my mother. This was the first time I also tried to use the hanging drying rack you see in the photos.

There is no written recipe for this as it was originally taught to me by my father. Essentially you use diced ham, a couple tablesoons of peanut butter, chopped green onions, sambal sauce, bananas (I omit these), served over rice.

I usually try to make most of the cards I send to people and if I have the time, I try to experiment with the artwork on those cards. This one was no exception.

This was the second beer I brewed. This process went much smoother than the first and tasted pretty good as well. The hand lettering on the label is in reference to Rodman's tattoos.

Roasted Cauliflower Steaks Recipe →
This was the first recipe from this series that I made for someone outside my immediate family so I had a little extra pressure to make sure it turned out well. To help that, the instructions are a little vague so I had to use my discretion on a few of the steps. It turned out great.
I had taken a video with my phone of Bryan trying to fly a home made kite and thought it would be funny to slow it down and pair it with a song.
To try to make this recipe a little healthier, I did make the chili initially with ground turkey instead of ground beef. It was still just as tasty as you are imagining.
As you can imagine, the countdown was functional prior to his birthday.

This was the first beer I ever tried to brew. I learned a lot and even though I thought I could have done a lot of things better, it still turned out tasting really good. I originally ordered the kit through Craft a Brew's website but found I needed to supplement it quite a bit from Midwest Supplies.
Blue Cheese Mac and Cheese Recipe →
This recipe was pretty delicious if you like blue cheese.
Lately I have been making myself fruit smoothies on Sunday afternoons in lieu of lunches. They are tasty and seem to fill me up enough. I like to use any frozen fruit that does not contain a lot of seeds (raspberries) and some pomegranate cranberry juice in addition to the ice.
I decided to make this as a super bowl snack. I think I eventually made this three or four times due to the amount of chex you need to purchase in the beginning.

Chili Lime Chicken Soup Recipe →
This soup ended up being extremely spicy but also very delicious. The chicken was especially flavorful. The next time I make this, I may tone down the heat a little bit.

The client designed and built the website himself. I was only contracted to design the logo.
Spicy Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps Recipe →
Unfortunately there are no "finished" photographs for this recipe. It was very delicious but also extremely messy due to the sauce and the leaky lettuce vessel.

Home Made Eastern Shore Crab Cakes Recipe →
I was not aware how expensive lump crab meat was at my local grocery store until I got there. The price would be the only reason I do not make this recipe very often.
This was a part of a surprise birthday message for my good friend Caryn. It is pretty easy to draw a large crowd when you are drawing giant letters in the sand next to a pier.

I did not get the cooking portion of this recipe perfect the first time. Specifically I learned that fresh minced garlic seemed to work better and to not cook the garlic as long. Burnt garlic makes an otherwise perfectly fine dish taste terrible.
This is one of two 4" wide by 5" tall linoleum blocks that I carved for this illustration. Each letter is roughly 1/2" wide by 1 1/4" tall.

Victory Factory Screen Printing Supplies →
This birthday card project was my first attempt at getting back to screen printing. The only catch is that I have to keep it relatively clean (my studio is only an extra room in my apartment) and the size is dependent on the stainless steel sink in the kitchen (for cleaning purposes).

This dish tasted even better than I expected it to. If I remember correctly, it also made quite a bit so if you do not have more than two people eating, look forward to leftovers.
Tofu with Roasted Chili Paste Recipe →
In my opinion this dish was not as spicy as I would have liked it to have been so the next time I made it some Sambal Sauce was added.

It is best if you eat these within a few days after baking them. They will not stay fresh for long.
