Welcome!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.

I’m Michael Olsen and I love to make people happy with the foods I serve.   I try to make everything I cook from scratch and my motto is, “nothing out of the box and nothing out of the can.”  Sometimes that’s not always possible but that’s what I strive for.

My love of cooking started when I was in grade school.  Let’s face it, my mom God rest her soul was an imaginative cook but could never really make it come together.  She could, however, whip up some killer pies.  Because she didn’t want to cook, my sister, brother, and I can all throw-down some eats.  My sister is a gourmet and my brother can make a delicious meal out of a shoe-box.




My food idols are Ree Drummond, Laura Vitale, Helen Chen and undeniably my sister Diane.  To me they are all Goddesses.  They’re my “go to” girls when I want to learn something new or get fantastic recipe ideas.

I look forward to sharing my recipes with you and hope you will share some of yours with me too.


Bon appetit!

Grandma's Home Made Pasta

This past recipe is so simple you're  going to slap yourself for buying the packaged junk.  I use my Kitchen Aide with the pasta attachments but you don't  have to.  My friend Fred does just fine  with a rolling pin and a knife.  Make any type of pasta you want from  ravioli to tagliatelle, to bow ties. Are you ready for this?? 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup semolina 2 generous pinches  of  salt 1 egg and some cold water. Make sure you  wash your counter good and take off your rings.  Flour your hands good and get in there are start squishing. Keep  adding water as needed.  When the dough becomes ready,  you will see that your hands aren't so gucked (that is a word isn't it?) up, and the dough's not in any real hurry to pick  up more flour.  I like to dust the counter with just enough so the counter's basically clean when I'm done.  Wrap the dough in cling wrap and let it rest i...

Corn-o-copia Corn Chowder

Soups are something that are really good, super easy, inexpensive, and a great dinner to make when you want to clean out the frig. Actors in the play: Start with the “trilogy,” onions, carrots, and celery.  The trilogy is the basic for almost all of my soup recipes.  A little flavor with added heat.  A small can of diced chilies and 1 chipotle pepper in adobo. Bacon, trilogy, peppers, corn and left over sweet potatoes from last night’s curry. Finished chowder, ready to be served up.
