RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a 40-something software developer by trade, but I've always loved cooking. Sometimes, my wife of 21 years and my 18-year-old like my cooking as well, however my 7-year-old rarely likes anything other than Chef McDonald's fare.
I love using cast iron cookware, and most of my cooking happens on the stove top (and more often than not on high heat) - I don't bake well, and I seldom have the patients to put the lid on anything.
