Growing up, I moved an average of twice a year ranging from North GA (Jasper) to South FL (Key Largo) and everywhere in between. After high school I joined the Marines and traveled the US and the world. Now I live in beautiful West Virginia.
I enjoy traveling, music (listening, playing, writing, discussing, or reading books on the subject), cooking, water sports, learning, and spending time with friends and family.

Trying to pick my favorite food is like trying to pick my favorite song, album, artist, etc...I guess it depends on my mood. Though, like music, there are a few things I will always consider the best (like the Beatles, for example).
I love seafood. Other than that I pretty much enjoy a little bit of everything. My Greek heritage influences me when cooking; I put garlic and olive oil in any dish I can get away with. Most of all, I love spicy food!
As far as cooking goes I love to use a grill, crockpot, turkey fryer, and and iron skillet. I love to change and/or combine recipes that I find online and in cookbooks. I like to come up with recipes on the fly working with whatever I find in my pantry.

Pork Chops Stuffed with Feta and SpinachAmazing!! Pretty quick on top of that.

Kickass CarnitasThat was great! I did skip the rub and the oven. I cooked it on low (my crock pot has "low" "high" and "warm") and it was done in 10 hours. One day I'll actually follow the recipe...I'm sure it'll be much better. Perhaps, due to the fact that I didn't cook it 14 hours, mine was very soupy so I added some kidney beans and at it with a spoon. For my taste, I'll put some more peppers in next time.

Blackend Baked TilapiaLoved it! We only cooked two filets so we halved the recipe. It worked great. We used frozen tilapia from Sam's which was too thin and, therefore, very "strong". So, if you use small filets you might consider less spice.

Crock-Pot Minestrone SoupNot my cup of tea.

Herbed Artichoke Chicken - Crock PotPretty darn good.

Spicy Sweet Potato and Black Bean SoupGreat stuff!

Bryan's Mexican CasseroleIt was great! We made a couple of changes...some intentional some not: We used regular long grain rice and not minute rice. We used chunky salsa and not picante. My wife is gluten intollerant so we couldn't use the ranch beans; we used black beans and used the spices listed on the can of ranch beans. Nest time I want to use a little cilantro and some chopped up peppers (jalapeño, serrano, etc).

Middle-East Style Stew/SoupIt was great! My internet went down in the middle of making this so I ended up putting in an extra onion and was great. I do think it needs to be spicier.

Crock Pot Chicken DinnerI made this with chicken broth and a little white wine instead of water. I also used garlic powder, fresh garlic, and weber "Kick n' Chicken. Pretty good!

Stuffed Hal-E-Pean-yosUse toothpicks in the peppers if using a roaster. Poke a hole in the bottom to let some juices run out, then poke some through the pepper to keep it from falling through the hole. Also, keep a tray lined with foil below the peppers to catch the juices. To make it hotter, worry less about getting the seeds out and add your favorite hot sauce while cooking the onions/sausage.

Blaze of GloryThe key to this recipe is variety; feel free to use different types of onions, peppers, chili powder, beer, and meat. I have never used a chili recipe without making my own changes; this is just how I make my own. [I posted this recipe.]
