Thanksgiving is almost here! If you're looking to add something a little special to dinner, why not try this new, quick and easy side - Totchos.

The 2015 Gourmet Guys to the Rescue event to benefit The Rescue Mission of Utica was a huge success! Not only was the turnout fantastic, the food incredible, but Big Frog 104 took home first place in the Desserts category. With my girlfriend's amazing Chocolate Covered Mint Oreo Balls recipe, we had people coming back for more.

If you've been tuning into the "Workday Kickoff" with Naomi and I, there's a good chance you've heard me share my love for foods made with pumpkin. Here's a few of my favorites.

This is a very awesome drink, especially for vodka lovers who enjoy ginger beer.  It's made with Utica's own Saranac 1888 Ginger Beer.  It's best served in a copper mug, which is totally American as the colonists used copper mugs for their drinks...

Looking for a healthier snack/treat for your kids this Easter? Here's some of the top recipes across the internet to try and sample and enjoy.

Here's an idea...serve up homemade eggnog on New Year's Eve. Either you like it or you don't. Most people in my family aren't too crazy about eggnog, but my mother always wanted a glass or two. It's easy to make your own homemade eggnog. Here's how.

We've all heard jokes about holiday fruitcakes. My father used to say that some people he knew were "nuttier than a fruitcake". In the McShea household we like fruitcake. My aunt used to make a great fruitcake but is no longer with us, and neither is her recipe. So, I searched for a good, easy to make fruitcake recipe.

During the holidays, you may here about a drink called, "Wassail." My first question is, what is it? Apparently, Wassail is an old English traditional hot mulled cider. And, we found an easy recipe if you want to have a go at making your own.

When I was a kid, I remember my mother serving cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving dinner, not the jellied kind, but the one with actual whole cranberries. If you want to make your own homemade cranberry sauce, we found a quick and easy recipe.

As a kid, I remember my mother making homemade stuffing (or dressing as she called it) for the Thanksgiving turkey. And, it half of it had to be stuffed inside the turkey. She had a great sausage recipe, but how about trying something different...cornbread stuffing.

Come on admit it you probably have at least one outlandish yet tasty dish that you’ve either created or inherited! My grandparents are responsible for passing down a couple of my favorites.

Wouldn't it be nice if other foods could fry up like onion rings? Well, have you ever tried making apple rings? They look very delicious.
