I’m so excited to share this Pork Picadillo Empanada post, which is sponsored by the Wisconsin Pork Producers Association, with you! If you’ve been reading this blog for more than a minute, you know that I come from a family of pork lovers. If given the chance, we would eat pork seven days a week….

Festive Charcuterie Grazing Board
Festive is the buzz word this time of year. Well, my friends Kuhlman Cellars– just down the road in Stonewall, TX- and I wanted to share a great way to celebrate the holidays. A Festive Charcuterie Grazing Board is painfully cute, easy to make, and impressive enough for even the most critical guest. The wine…
French Fries with Rosemary and Lemon Aioli
Aioli is quite similar to mayonnaise, but this version is heavy on garlic and lemon flavors. A dip for crisp and fluffy french fries, it’s a recipe you need to know.
Chicken and Biscuits with Maple-Butter Dipping Sauce
This Chicken and Biscuits recipe is sponsored by Danish Creamery, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. An invitation to your buddy’s party/cook-out/shindig is inevitable, so why not have a recipe on hand to wow your host(ess) with? Not only will this Chicken and Biscuits recipe wow the inviter, the other invitees will marvel…
Coctel de Camarones (Mexican Shrimp Cocktail)
Ummm…I hate moving. I know you’ve been dying to know that. At last count, I have moved 17 times. This next move will be my 18th- and hopefully last- move. I’m ’bout fed up to here with the whole process (I’m gesturing to my throat). Once again, I’m trying to rid myself of excess groceries,…
Fried Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang Mayo Dip
Well, my friend! It’s officially official! I’m married to a retiree! That doesn’t make me old, though. Héctor maybe. But me? Hell-to-the-nah. Even though, I had to take the entire week that followed off because I was spent- that still doesn’t make me old. These Fried Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang-Mayo Dip did get a few…
Roasted Poblano Queso Dip- Big Game Friendly!
So, I just finished doing my taxes. I’m really struggling with being fiscally responsible, Friend. That damned refund is so small!! I know, I know, “Dave Ramsey says no refunds means you didn’t give the government an interest-free loan- that’s good!” BUT I WANTED TO BLOW IT ALL ON SHOES, FRIEND!!! I’ll get over it….
10 Recipes for a Perfect Thanksgiving Meal
Now you didn’t think I was going to leave you without a full game plan for Thanksgiving, did you? Tsk, tsk! I thought you knew me better than that, Friend! I would never leave you hanging- let alone on the most food-filled day of the year. Here are 10 (or more, why not?) recipes that…
Bacon-Bourbon Jam Charcuterie Boards
This Bacon-Bourbon Jam recipe is a sponsored post brought to you by CuttingBoard.com. They provided products in exchange for my review, but as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own- especially the obnoxious ones. I am the self-dubbed, and not world-renowned, Queen of Charcuterie Boards. With the holidays fast approaching, I teamed up with my buddies…
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…
