I did a thing, you guys. It involved these baby back ribs, my oven, and a grill. Are you in enough suspense? As much as people may think ribs require loads of work to be good, that’s simply not true. Baby back ribs- all ribs, in fact- just need the right prep and you can…

Bacon-Wrapped Brined Pork Loin with Mushroom Gravy
I believe that Sunday dinners should be a big thing. You don’t have to have a large family (or even be a family) to do Sunday dinners- you just need people you love to join you. As a military family, we’ve spent our fair share of Sundays apart. Now that retirement is looming, I look…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork in Mojo Sauce
You guys! I’m killing this healthy eating thang!! In doing so, I also realize how much I eat rice. I’m a Latina, okay? It’s what we do. This recipe is another workday/kid/mama’s-gonna-lose-her-ish-friendly recipe. Slow Cooker Pulled Pork in Mojo Sauce is a mouthful, but seeing as how mouthfuls are good around here, it’s also fitting….
Larb Moo: Laotian Sour Minced Pork Salad
I’m writing this post from the waiting room of a hospital’s surgery ward. The Soldier is beginning the process of repairing more than twenty-five years of beating up his body. I’m a pessimist by nature. Writing helps me keep my mind off of the variables associated with surgery of any kind. This Larb Moo is also helping me…
Penne in Pesto Sauce with Grilled Sausage: Dinner in Twenty
Penne pasta in Asiago-Pistachio Pesto Sauce topped with Grilled Sausage AKA “my shortest post yet.” I see some you smart-alecks applauding. You make me sick, LOL!!! No, but this “meal-in-twenty” is so simple and straightforward, even my talkative behind couldn’t make this a big to-do. In the summertime- especially towards the beginning of the week when…
Blueberry Balsamic BBQ Sauced Grilled Pork Chops
With each passing day, I seem to find myself in the minority of people who actually like to cook. By cook, I mean bake, grill, cook, bartend, host…anything that involves food- I love. But, more often than not, the response I get is, “It’s just too much work,” or, “There’s too many steps.” It really…
Roast Pork Shoulder for the Holidays (Pernil)
Let me tell you about the time my husband almost stabbed a guest in our home over the skin you see in the photo above. It was traumatic. It was scary. Totally justifiable, but still scary. That right there sitting atop that mound of deliciousness is chicharrón. Pork rind. Crackling. Heaven. It is one of…
Chèvre & Prosciutto Flatbread topped with Figs and Arugula
One week of school is officially behind us! I’m still partially sane, as are the munchkins. The Twins and I have fallen into a nice scholarly groove; so much so, we have ventured into our homeschool culinary course, as well. Chèvre and Prosciutto Flatbread topped with Figs and Arugula was our first recipe of the…
Carnitas Bowls: Cinco de Mayo Recipe Ideas Part 1
What if we made a big ol’ bowlful of pork and beer?!?! Just got the attention of every male walking the earth with that one. Viral posts, here I come! Nah, we’re not using a whole case of beer on this one. Just a whole bottle. These drunken carnitas bowls are innocent enough to serve to your munchkins,…
