Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
It's summertime and that means all things BBQ ... though I make pulled pork year round. I picked up a bone-in pork shoulder the other week at the butcher specifically for this recipe. It makes the perfect amount for two dinners plus lunch for my family. I also love that I can throw it into… Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Did you ever have one of those days where nothing goes right? Yesterday was one of THOSE days. I was all ready to get our grill started to grill pork chops and of course when I went to light it, it only "clicked, clicked, clicked"....GREAT. Now to switch gears and cook them inside. I also… Continue reading Lemon Basil Pork Chops
I'm completely late in blogging about the ham I made for Easter dinner....where has the time gone? I haven't been doing much new cooking or baking lately, we're in our busy spring sports season and it's been a lot of grilling and quick dinners. Lacrosse season is ending next week and I'll definitely be getting… Continue reading Rosemary Citrus Glazed Ham
I picked up a package of bratwurst while shopping and wasn't sure what I wanted do with it. My kids are big fans of wraps, so I thought why not wrap a brat with some cheese in a tortilla?! These were big hit and they didn't even complain about the spice in the beer (don't… Continue reading Tortilla Wrapped Bratwurst
I made this glazed ham for Easter, but it would be perfect for dinner or any other family meal you have coming up. It's super easy to make and the glaze is so good....I could eat it with a spoon. The combination of the wine and peach preserves with the mustard all blend together and… Continue reading Riesling-Peach Glazed Ham
I can't believe it's almost half way through September. This month has been a whirlwind. I took a little time off from work around Labor Day and decided to unplug from things a little bit. It was a nice break and much-needed. I hadn't planned this much time since my last post, but sometimes life… Continue reading Teriyaki Pork and Pineapple Kebabs
The summer grilling season is here and we're already taking full advantage of it. We've been grilling chicken legs, burgers and veggies. We rarely use pork when we grill, but I'll definitely be making these kabobs a couple of times this summer. The glaze is really good and keeps the pork moist. Plus you can't… Continue reading BBQ Teriyaki Pork Kabobs
A couple of weeks ago, I asked what my readers wanted to see and there were lots of requests for soups and slow cooker recipes. I've been making a bunch of new recipes using the slow cooker and lots of soup recipes too. This recipe for maple Dijon pork chops was so simple and I… Continue reading Maple Dijon Pork Chops
We've been grilling several times a week for the last 2 months and I love it! It's so much easier to let my husband grill, while the kids play outside and I take care of the rest of the dinner. This was the first time we made ribs and they turned out great. I usually… Continue reading Easy Grilled Baby Back Ribs
I love making slow cooker meals on Sundays. There's just something about throwing a bunch of stuff together, set it on low and let it cook and simmer all day long. We're always busy during the week with working, cheerleading, PTO and everything else that when the week ends roll around, we like to relax… Continue reading Chunky Pork Ragu
