Chipotle Pork Posole

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Another winner inspired by Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast. This soup was easy and very flavorful with a`few additions - more garlic and some traditional Mexican spices. This was a little too brothy - next time I think I'll only add one cup of water, if that. Chipotle ...

Breakfast for Dinner

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

An easy dinner tonight - some of our favorite sausages, scrambled eggs, and some fresh tomatoes.

Cuban Pork Chops with Black Beans and Zucchini Shreds

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

The recipe for the pork chop rub was strongly inspired by the Betty Crocker website. Their recipe jumped out at me as a new and interesting way to try pork, and I was very pleased with how my version turned out! I made some quick refried black beans ...

Italian Vegetable Saute

Monday, May 10th, 2010

This is a quick and easy side that I made to go along with some more of the leftover pork loin, which I just sliced thinly and placed on top of the saute before covering the skillet to warm through. Italian Vegetable Saute Serves 4 1 tbsp olive oil 3 cloves garlic, pressed 1 tsp ...

Pork Enchilada Scramble

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

This is a result of leftover pork from yesterday. It would be equally good with leftover chicken, or fresh of either one - just cook for longer. All I did was cut up one of my pork loin pieces into small bite-sized chunks, heated up a little canola ...

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Another recipe adapted from one in Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Everyday Food (Clarkson Potter)). I omitted the fennel seeds they called for in the apple and leek mixture, as I never have them around, The anise flavor just ...

Hom Bao

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

We had hom bao for dinner tonight. The pork was a little fattier than usual, I think, and it made them especially tasty. I made the dipping sauce with microplane grated ginger, which worked very nicely.

Chile Roasted Pork

Monday, April 19th, 2010

This is a spicy Mexican inspired pork that I whipped up after Shaun requested something spicy to help clear his sinuses. The rub turned out quite well and I'll definitely use it again. It does have a kick to it, so reduce the cayenne if you'd like it ...

Italian Smoked Sausage and Vegetable Skillet

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

This is a variation on my chicken bruschetta, just using a pound of smoked sausage instead of chicken. I do prefer the chicken version, but this is a nice change of pace. I made this for lunch today, with leftovers to take to work for lunches. Italian Smoked Sausage ...

Ham Steak with Blackberry Rum Sauce

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

This is from Jaden's blog. I halved the sauce recipe, omitted the fresh berries, and just eyeballed everything, and it turned out really well! I still had more sauce than needed, but it'd go great on ice cream or a little piece of pound cake for dessert. ...
