Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard

Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard / Going in, I knew the basics: it was a parody, it was Die Hard, and it was a one-man show of physical comedy. But what I didn’t know?

(Hans Gruber and Karl? Perfection!). Read more on lifefoodwine.com @ykylive @broadwayinchicago

#whatscooking - Chicken & Mushroom Stew with Dumpl

#whatscooking - Chicken & Mushroom Stew with Dumplings - This stew started as a slow-cooker gem from my “Fix It and Forget It” cookbook (which has 1,700 recipes, btw—it’s basically the Wikipedia of slow cooking). Over time, I gave it an upgrade with dumplings, because carbs make everything better. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this winter wonder. Get #recipe at lifefoodwine.com
