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. … More Grilled Beef and Broccoli
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 … More Nashville Hot Pork
Man I despise canned fish. I find tuna fish in a can, or a fresh pack, really gross smelling. It smells like catfood to me. So I was browsing around for some healthier recipes and I found this one, but was skeptical. It hit all the right buttons with Erin and Kate: avocado, check. Fish, … More Black Bean and Salmon Tostadas
I’ve tried a lot of different baked wings recipes but none of them ever got close to what a fried wing tastes like. Until now! Baking powder is the magic ingredient and you end up with really crispy wings. Add to that a simple but tasty honey sriracha glaze and you are set. Go make … More Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
I managed to get around to cooking a new recipe tonight and it turned out good! Is it the same as the old China Town’s Kung Pao? Nope. But it’s close, and it was a fairly easy one to pull off. I will say it made a bit of a mess of my skillet, but … More Chengdu-Style Kung Pao Chicken
My sister Blakely made this when we were visiting her one year and it has become a staple at our house. It’s not exactly ‘healthy’, but just keep telling yourself you are eating salad and you’ll be OK. Salad haters eat this salad.

The pork had just the right sweet and sour taste to really be memorable. Make sure you watch the temperature and pull them off … More Chinese Pork Chops
This was a fun recipe, but prep was kind of messy. The end result was great, the chicken was very light and crunchy. My big complaint was that the sauce ended up being really concentrated and very salty. Next time I make it, I need to tweak it by removing some of the salt, then … More Sticky Garlic Chicken Bites
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 … More Sesame Chicken
We can’t make this recipe enough. The kids push to get this on the menu all the time, and it’s a fast and easy meal. As long as you are good at cubing chicken. The end result is a creamy, tiki masala-like dish. You can make a mountain of this stuff and it makes for … More Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken
