Lasagna just happens to be one of those dishes that if you are going to make one, you might as well make three. By the time you make your sauce, boil your noodles and get all the other ingredients together, you might as well just set up an assembly line of a few more. These [...]
Meatloaf
This is the perfect antidote to the Sunday blues, not least because there will be enough left over to pack sandwiches for Monday’s lunch. A mix of beef, pork, and bacon ensures meatiness, with Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of brown sugar, and cider vinegar added for good balance and occasional suggestions of sweetness. Because the [...]
Chipotle Chile Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Well, I thought I would return with an extremely easy, yet tasty, dish. As you know I am all about FLAVOR and this little dish sure does pack a punch! This dish is just a little addicting with the delicious sauce. So here are the easy steps, which I did not get a photo of. [...]
Michael Mina’s Pulled Pork
Here is a delicious and flavorful way to make your next pulled pork sandwiches. The meat can be prepared a day in advance. Here we will be using a pretty cheap cut of meat, which is a pork “butt” or also known as a pork shoulder. It has tons of fat on it, but [...]
Cassoulet with Chicken, Pork and Sausage
This dish is screaming good! The flavors are so deep, delicious and rich. It is a one dish meal you should definitely make for your next large gathering! This does make enough for about 20 healthy servings. Just halve all of the ingredients to bring it down to a more reasonable amount of servings. [...]
Feta, Spinach and Sausage Frittata Squares
These are perfect little bites for a cocktail party. If you would like to serve them at a brunch, just cut the squares a little bigger. I especially like this recipe because if you have anyone needing to stay away of gluten, this is the perfect dish to serve. It is really just nothing short [...]

And the best thing about this dish is that everyone in my family will eat it. Simply mix all your ingredients together in [...]
Pork Tenderloin with Chinese Honey Hoisin Sauce
This pork tenderloin is so incredibly tender and full of flavor, it will have your family clamoring for more. I served the pork with Asian noodles and sesame asparagus. Rice would work well as a side, too. Just place the pork over the rice and slather it with the rich and flavorful sauce. The sauce [...]
Grilled spice-rubbed pork tenderloin steaks with honey-chipotle barbecue sauce & Roasted Yams
Holy habanero this was good great. However, if I were to make this again I would definitely make the bbq sauce less spicy. I was sweating the entire meal, and although I love spicy foods, it was just too much for even me. So I would probably not put the two tablespoons of adobo sauce [...]
Hoisin and Honey Baby Back Ribs
We had a rib fest this weekend and these were the hit of the evening. I served these delicious Asian ribs as an appetizer right before we were ready to have….wait for it….yep, more ribs! I’m just so clever that way in menu planning. I served these ribs for the main course. Everyone loved these Asian [...]
