This is a tasty holiday meal. It is very low maintenance, though it takes awhile. The leftovers are great for breakfast, in beans, in sandwiches, and in all sorts of things. The bone makes a wonderful ham stock for soups. We had this along with a ...

This was a nice filling and healthy meal. We skipped on the rice today, as we're doing a week mostly sans-carbs to kick-start our weight loss after hitting a plateau. Sometimes a little change is all the body needs. Feel free to sub in whatever veggies you ...

This was my breakfast / brunch this morning. Very easy - just a couple slices of bread topped with a few slices of deli ham and a couple slices of sharp cheddar, then popped under the broiler for a minute until the cheese was bubbling and the ham and ...

This was a quick and easy meal. I got some great locally made chicken Italian sausage (made by Isernio's Sausage). It's very lean and quite tasty. If you use regular Italian sausage, you might want to drain the skillet before starting to make the sauce.

We roasted two pork tenderloins for dinner Sunday night (similar to this recipe, but without the final glaze). For a side I served some baked winter squash, a baby hubbard squash in this case. The squash baked at the same temperature. I just cut it in half, ...

This was my next iteration of paella, incorporating the changes from last time. I didn't have any onion on hand, so I just used some onion powder, and it turned out just fine. I also used a full pound of shrimp, though I'd be perfectly happy to have ...

Well, we didn't make it to the Fremont Oktoberfest this year, but we did have a nice lunch in the spirit of the event - fresh bratwurst boiled in Possmann Frankfurter Applewine, made in Germany, and then browned up in a skillet, similar to my previous recipe. The apple ...

This recipe was inspired by using up leftovers from a recipe for ham baked in cola. It has since evolved into its own recipe, and it's quite a nice filling fall dinner. It isn't quite fall yet, but it's a cooler evening, and wishful thinking took over dinner ...
