Chile Lime Pork Chops

Friday, August 12th, 2011

A really easy, fast, and cheap dinner tonight. I'm just wiped out, and wouldn't have even bothered with this if the pork chops didn't need to be used today. :-P As it is, this was not much more effort than warming something in the microwave, ...

Ham Hocks and Beans

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Tonight I made ham hocks and beans with my gorgeous heirloom bean mix from my CSA box. This time around, I used one beer (the locally brewed Scuttlebutt Amber Ale and 2 cups of chicken broth for the liquid, and it turned out very well indeed :-) ...

Grilled Hawaiian Pizza

Monday, June 20th, 2011

We revisited grilled pizza tonight after the success of the grilled garlic flatbread. Tonight I went for a Hawaiian pizza - ham and pineapple. This was another great success! We'll definitely be coming back to this over the summer with new and fun toppings :-D ...

Oven Barbecued Country Style Pork Ribs

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

These are an easy and tasty way to make pork. The ribs are juicy and flavorful. I bought 2 packages of country style pork ribs when I was planning for the carnitas that I brought into work, and then decided that I only really needed one for the number of ...

Carnitas

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

I brought this tasty crockpot meal to work yesterday for a lunch potluck. It was loosely based off of this AllRecipes recipe that was quite highly rated. I got rave reviews from all my coworkers for my version, and the only reason I had this much left to take ...

Pork Chops with Ginger Maple Pan Sauce

Another winning recipe based off of one from Fine Cooking! This is a fairly easy and very tasty way to prepare pork chops. We both enjoyed this a lot. I served this with some roasted asparagus and Baked Butternut Squash with Apples (see post below). Shaun tried ...

Chinese Pork Lettuce Wraps

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Tonight, I made Chinese pork lettuce wraps, very similar to my Chinese chicken lettuce wraps, but using a pork tenderloin instead of the chicken thighs. We like the chicken version slightly better, but this was very good, and a great way to use up a pork tenderloin we had sitting ...

Pork Tonkatsu and Singed Broccoli

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Tonight I made my pork tonkatsu and broiled some broccoli to go along with it. I managed to forget about it for an extra minute or two, and it got rather singed, which left an interesting flavor - not bad, but not something I'll replicate on purpose :-P ...
