My folks came by Thursday night on the way to a week of R&R out on the Olympic Peninsula, and since my birthday is next Monday, they thought it would be nice to have a little celebration while they were here. They live out in Colorado, so we don't ...

This is a quick and easy side as long as you buy the pre-cubed butternut squash. It's also not too much more trouble to peel and cube a whole one if you have the time and inclination (here's a Slashfood video demonstration). It cooked alongside the pork tenderloin ...

This is the fall/winter version of the grilled pork tenderloin I made a few weeks ago. The rub is the same, but it also incorporates a raspberry chipotle sauce glaze. I use Fischer & Wieser's sauce, which I get at Costco. They make some other outstanding sauces ...
