This is what we’re supposed to eat

October 18, 2011

If you really pay attention to all the diets, life style eating plans and health commentary on food, we’re supposed to be eatting fresh fruits and vegetables. Here’s what they look like.

Bacon!

October 12, 2011

That’s all I wanted to say… What’s your favorite recipe that uses bacon, or are you a simple bacon only type? Disclaimer: I am sorry if I offend any of my non-meat-eating pals. I’ve tried tofu, I like it… but it doesn’t call my name from the griddle.

The burnt doughnut hole

September 9, 2011

This is why “winging it” with cooking is not always a good choice. I had no idea how long a doughnut hole would take to cook so I dropped it in the oil, went back to make more balls and voila! We like ‘em crispy around here… I did consider saving it until Christmas to [...]

Pulled pork sandwiches

September 7, 2011

I recently learned how to make pulled pork. I had never cooked a pork roast until a few months ago when my cousin had us over for dinner and explained how easy it was to make. The pork roast itself a pretty inexpensive food item. I’m able to get 2 meals for my family of [...]
