Bourbon Bacon Jam

As much as I enjoy developing, cooking, and eating healthy recipes, I do occasionally enjoy, shall we say, more indulgent foods. Bacon is one of my favorite indulgences. My whole family loves bacon, and my husband is also a bourbon fan. So when I came across a recipe for Bacon Bourbon Jam on Biscuits &…

My Favorite Pork Roast

Pork roast done right has a crispy top and a moist interior. Lucky for me, pork no longer needs to be cooked to shoe leather for it to be safe. An internal temperature of 145℉ and a three-minute rest, and it’s all good. I needed a good dinner! I was on a roll…downhill. I had…

Easy Homemade Poultry Seasoning

Signs of spring are everywhere! In spite of two recent storms, the daffodils are poking up from under the snow, the birds are singing in the morning, and there’s mud everywhere. Really, everywhere! I’ve got my seeds ready to go, and I’m really looking forward to getting back out into the garden. I’ve learned my…

Pollo con Uvas Blancas

Looking through my stash of recipes recently, I came upon this old favorite. I  haven’t made it in ages, though I’ve no idea why. It’s adapted, with very little change, from Cooking Light.

Kümmelweck

By now, most folks have heard of Buffalo Chicken Wings. Although, as a former resident of Buffalo, I have to say that it’s hard to find good ones outside of Buffalo. Best I ever had from another state was at the No Name Pub on Big Pine Key, Florida. Superb pizza, too. Turned out the chef…

Rosemary-Sage Pork With White Beans

The first thing you’re gonna think when you put this on the table is, “No way that’s for only two people!” Sure, if you want to split it between three people, be my guest. But two of you can lick the plate clean for only 500 calories apiece, and a whopping 21 grams of fiber…

Confetti Slaw

  I have always loved spring. There’s something almost magical about watching nature come alive after a long winter. If you look closely, you can see signs already. To the casual observer, this was just another grey, drab winter morning. But there, on the tips of the dogwood branches, are buds. Hundreds of buds. How…

Margarita Chicken

​You’ve heard of umami, right? It’s been a big buzz word in cooking lately. It’s one of those things that can be really hard to define, but you know it when you taste it. Come to think of it, the other tastes aren’t much easier to describe. What can you say about sweet, other than…it’s…
