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...
We make smoked or roasted pork loin fairly frequently. While properly cooked pork loin is juicy and delicious on its own, we do like to make this glaze with it, as they pair so well together. It is quick and easy to make (about 10 minutes), and since it is reduced,...
We always have bananas in the house, and inevitably, we will have a few that are over-ripe at the end of the week. I was looking for something to make with them and was considering making banana bread or muffins. I found a good recipe for banana muffins but it used...
I purchased a large quantity of cinnamon chips for the Cinnamon Chip Scone recipe that I was making regularly. I am no longer making the scones as often, so I was looking for a good way to use the cinnamon chips, perhaps in a cookie of some sort. I found a recipe...
Once we mastered making Neopolitan-style pizza, we made it weekly. However, being from New Jersey, our family missed the texture and taste of New York style pizza, so I set out to find a good recipe for it. It was about this time that Charlie Anderson was going...
After successfully making Italian Bread, I wanted to try to make other types of bread. One of my priorities was learning how to make sourdough bread. I tried several different recipes for sourdough bread with mixed results. Some recipes yielded great results but...
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...
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...
These cookies were always in our trays of Christmas Cookies. They are probably my favorite as well.
Pork Loin and Pork Loin Chops are regular entrees at our house. They are lean, delicious, and inexpensive compared to a lot of other cuts of meat these days. The biggest thing you need to be careful about when making pork loin or pork loin chops is to keep the meat...
When we first got our Instant Pot I was surprised to learn that you can make cheesecake in it. I quickly found a recipe, ordered a few accessories for the Instant Pot, and gave it a try. We were all surprised at how good it came out. Since then I have been making this...
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:...
