Grilled Beef and Broccoli

This recipe was great, I forgot how good grilling broccoli tastes! I didn’t do anything different from the original recipe. There was very little prep, and putting it together was just a matter of timing everything right. Good weekday meal, super fast.

Nashville Hot Pork

We butcher a pig or two each year and one of my favorite things is the pork steaks. These are thin cutlets we cut from the big end of the hams and run them through a meat tenderizer. The best thing to do with them is fry them, so I went with a Nashville Hot... Continue Reading →

Black Bean and Salmon Tostadas

Sesame Chicken

This is a delicious recipe, almost restaurant-quality. It is also VERY messy when cooking. The frying takes a long time, so be prepared. It didn't help that I was making a double recipe. And you're going to get burned. These suckers pop when cooking. If you want to break it up, cut the chicken up... Continue Reading →
