Weeknight Creamy Sausage Pasta
When my kiddo was much younger, I really got into the whole Rachael Ray craze of 30 Minute Meals. Those early bedtimes meant that we had to get dinner, homework and bathtime done really quickly in the evenings so I totally got into those quick meals. I still do a handful of them from time… Read More Weeknight Creamy Sausage Pasta
Porkstravaganza – Ribs of Fury
So I’ve told you all about Porkstravaganza, right? It’s our big pork-themed party we’ve done for years. A few years ago, Chef J vetoed my rib recipe because he wanted to make some big Italian meatfest that also included ribs. I was bummed to miss out on making our Ribs of Fury for all of… Read More Porkstravaganza – Ribs of Fury
Porkstravaganza – Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Every year, Chef J and I throw a big pork-themed party that we’ve dubbed Porkstravaganza. Everyone brings a dish to share with one caveat. Whatever anyone brings MUST include some sort of pork product. We’ve had Bacon Bombs, Pork Belly Biscuits, Little Porky Tacos, Maple Bacon Cupcakes and everything in between. It’s gotten pretty competitive… Read More Porkstravaganza – Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Fancy Schmanzy on the Cheap – Stuffed Pork Roulades
Okay, I get it. We are all on a budget these days. And I’ve been eating healthier lately which is a LOT more expensive than eating convenience food. For a while I was spending less and less at the grocery while my waistline grew and grew from all of the delicious carbs and convenience food… Read More Fancy Schmanzy on the Cheap – Stuffed Pork Roulades
Porkstravaganza – Bourbon Bacon Brownies
I had a friend once, who after getting an invite to my annual Porkstravaganza party, said with confusion, “Wait, aren’t you Jewish?” I tried to explain how some Jews are really observant and some, well, less so. Finally he summed it up – “So you’re more Jew-ISH.” Unlike Jules in Pulp Fiction, I am Jewish and… Read More Porkstravaganza – Bourbon Bacon Brownies
Carne Pibil
I love my slow cooker right now. Especially now that school is going to be getting back in swing after the holidays and it’s getting dark SO early! The slow cooker saves us a LOT of time and stress. Rarely do I do anything “normal” in there either. I mean, I’ve been know to cook a pot roast… Read More Carne Pibil
Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
A friend of mine recently posted a beautiful photo of one of my favorite dishes – Orecchiette with Sausage and Brocolli Rabe. It reminded me that I hadn’t made it literally in YEARS. I honestly don’t know why as we almost always have the ingredients (or something similar) at home. And it got me to… Read More Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
Long Days, Hectic Nights – Slow Cooker Carnitas
When we looked through The Boy’s school planner a few weeks ago, one particular Friday looked like hell. He had two tests, that project he’d been working on for two weeks rather lackadaisically was due, plus he had the regular math sheet, reading and language arts assignments to complete. Thursday homework night was going to be a nightmare. Oh, and… Read More Long Days, Hectic Nights – Slow Cooker Carnitas
