Pork, Shiitake, and Snap Pea Stir Fry

Monday, March 4th, 2013

I had other plans for my ground pork, but my oven disagreed and died on me. Drat. The baked dumplings will have to wait for another day. The stovetop still works, though, so I went for a quick stir fry. This turned out quite well, especially for ...

Mini Hom Bao

Thursday, February 14th, 2013

I've been craving my hom bao for over a week now. I stir fried up the filling a couple nights ago, but didn't get around to making the dough, and ended up just eating some of the filling on its own. Today, I just picked up a can ...

Product Review: Kinder’s Pale Ale Applewood Smoked Brats

Monday, September 24th, 2012

We found these awesome Kinder's Pale Ale Applewood Smoked Brats at Costco. They're some of the best bratwurst we've had! Very worth the buy. :-)

A couple product reviews

Monday, July 30th, 2012

We recently tried a couple new items that we enjoyed, so I'll share them here. First up, Niman Ranch Kentucky Bourbon Uncured Sausages. These sausages were flavorful without being overwhelming, and were lacking the grease factor that so many sausages have. We enjoyed these with some quick braised brussels ...

Oven Roasted Babyback Ribs

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012

These easy, slow roasted ribs are fall off the bone tender and flavorful. The dry rub is my own blend, sweet and smoky. I served these with some asparagus and green salad. Oven Roasted Babyback Ribs Serves 2 Dry Rub: 1 tsp kosher salt 2 tsp granulated sugar 2 tsp brown sugar 1/2 ...

Deep Dish Sourdough Pizza

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

We love Chicago-style pizza, and there's just none to be had in Seattle. I found a recipe for sourdough pizza crust on the King Arthur Flour website, and gave it a go in a cast iron skillet. It turned out really well! We went cheese-less, but if ...

Pork and Black Bean Stew

Monday, November 7th, 2011

This is a take-off from my ham and black bean soup. It's a lovely warming stew for a drizzly fall evening - warming with both the temperature and the spice :-) We both really enjoyed this, and it'll definitely make some repeat appearances throughout the fall ...

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

This gumbo concoction is a conglomeration of many recipes out there on the web. It's a great use for leftover chicken, and could easily be adapted to use fresh chicken as well. We really enjoyed this and will be repeating it many times in the coming fall and ...

Green Chile and Pork Stew

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

This spicy stew used up the leftover chile rubbed pork from last night. You could easily make this from scratch as well, just cut a pork tenderloin into bite sized chunks and toss it in the rub I made last night and brown up the pork pieces for a ...

Chile Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

This is an original recipe that turned out quite well. I was feeling like a Mexican sort of rub for the pork and happened to have some fresh jalapenos from my CSA box, so they got thrown in the mix. The fruity heat was a great touch and ...
