This recipe has become a staple in our regular rotation over the last few years. It is light, healthy, and delicious! We typically double the original recipe and add sugar snap peas at the end of the cooking. The original recipe can be found here:...
If you aren't familiar with Anne, she was a legendary chef who appeared regularly on the Food Network for 20 years. We made her Pasta Bolognese recipe many years ago and loved it. It is so packed with flavor that it has become my favorite bolognese sauce. If you...
If you are looking for old-school American comfort food then look no further. There is nothing like coming home after a long day of work, with the aroma of slow-cooked beef and vegetables filling the house. This recipe is easy to make, and most of it can be done...
If you have never had smoked pork loin roast, you are missing out. Even if you don't have a smoker, you can make a juicy, delicious pork loin roast in your oven. When you purchase a full pork loin (at Costco for example) it will be a long, cylindrical tube. I...
Over the past few years, we have really come to enjoy smoking meats at home. We started by using our outdoor wood-burning oven (Pizza Oven), and eventually got a dedicated smoker. When people think of a smoker things like brisket, ribs, and pulled pork immediately...
A properly seasoned and cooked pork chop is right up there near the top of my list of things I LOVE to eat. After years of fumbling around getting it wrong, I’ve been working on making the perfect pork chop. I may not be 100% there yet but I’m close! It starts with a...
This recipe is one of many pasta recipes from Grandma Lucy. I don’t recall ever having it as a kid, but it would have been a favorite for sure if I did. John was going through all of the pasta recipes that have yet to be uploaded when he came across this one last...
This is originally a Giada DeLaurentis recipe. We have been making it for years with a few tweaks, and serve it over pasta or rice. It is an Italian classic that takes less then an hour to make. Here is a link to Giada’s original recipe on the Food Network...
Most people probably have never heard of Costco’s Seasoned Rack of Pork (pictured after cooking above). It is something they prepare and sell in some of their stores, but not all of them. The Costco near where we live prepares these racks of pork for Thanksgiving and...
Mom made this regularly and it was always one of my favorites.
This has been a regular in our rotation for the last several years. We make these baked chicken cutlets almost weekly but keep them fresh and different by making different "toppings" for them. As I add the recipes for the toppings I will create a link to each of them...
Growing up in New Jersey I never had Red Beans and Rice until I moved to Texas. I never knew what I was missing out on! Red Beans and Rice is a delicious Cajun staple. It can be made in an instant pot but I find the best results still come from the...
If you love tender, moist, fall-off-the-bone ribs then this recipe is for you! We love ribs and have them often. I’ve tried many different recipes over the years for grilled and oven-baked ribs. This recipe has become my go-to recipe for St. Louis cut American-style...
This is a great one-pot/pan dish that is quick and easy to make. It is perfect for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time. The recipe calls for All Purpose Chicken Seasoning but I use either Guga’s Rub or Clucker Dust. The original recipe can be found here:...
This recipe uses a trick I borrowed from Internet Chef Guga to help make the skins more crispy. The trick is to pour boiling water over the chicken skins before you cook them in the oven. The boiling water helps to make the skins more crispy when they are cooked....
