This is a slightly modified version of Michael Chiarello’s recipe. My wife is a huge bread pudding fan, and I love chocolate. The Jack Daniels makes it all that much better. Until now, I didn’t know “Jack” about bread pudding.
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 large eggs, lightly […]

While making Sweet Potato Muffins from the Cooking with Jack cookbook, I thought about Jack Daniels and cornbread. It makes so much sense. Jack Daniels is a corn mash whiskey. A couple of tablespoons Jack Daniels whiskey made a normal cornbread something special.

Two boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix call for 1/3 cup of milk for […]

This recipe is from the Cooking with Jack cookbook that I picked up while in Lynchburg, TN last year. My brother-in-law and competition cooking partner, Randy, I took a road trip last April to Mike and Debbie Davis’ Lotta Bull BBQ class. It was the first time either of us had been to Lynchburg, TN.

I’m a writer for the Well Fed Network’s site dedicated to grilling and BBQ: GetYourGrillOn.net.   This is a cross over article doing some baking on my outdoor grill: The Big Green Egg.  For those not familiar with a Big Green Egg, it is a ceramic grill.  It is a very versatile piece of equipment […]

Soufle Kounoupithiou is a great authentic Greek side dish. Pronounced soo-FLAY koo-noo-peeth-YOU, it is a three cheese cauliflower side dish. The cauliflower can be substituted or accompanied with broccoli as well.

4 cups of whole milk
1 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
4-5 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 eggs

This dessert is a family favorite and is so easy to make.  The hardest part is waiting one hour for it to bake.  The most amazing part of the dessert is the topping which is just a dry cake mix.  Its one of those creations that makes you wonder who thinks of these things, but […]

My two sons love these cookies because they love peanut butter, but also because the boys get to help make them.  The recipe is super easy and contains no gluten because there’s no flour in the recipe.  Easy to make and easy clean up.  The only equipment you need is a bowl, cookie sheet, cooling […]

I’ve admitted that I’m not a baker, but every dog has its day.  This recipe was the very first I’d ever entered in a dessert category of a large barbeque contest.  Lightning definately struck because out of 78 teams, my creation was one of two ‘perfect’ scores that day.  Since my score from the tie […]

I’m NOT a baker, so this is so odd for me to be posting a recipe in a place called Just Baking. However like any home cook, I have a KitchenAid mixer, Artisan Style. So when you have to tools, you have to use them from time to time. Banana bread has […]
