last hurrah

Yum

Cheesy meatball casserole. I made a huge batch of meatballs right before Eva was born as part of my stock-the-freezer project, and I finally used the last of them this week.

hamming it up

Ham and bean soup. My oven is fixed, but I'm still digging the slow cooker soups!

charred, i'm sure

Yum

Grilled pork kebabs. Pork has always been runner-up to chicken on my list of preferred proteins...until now.

snap to it

Yum

Sausage and potatoes. My husband and I recently had a lively debate about the meaning of the term "cold snap."

the ooey-gooey factor

Yum

Mozzarella meatball bake. It's no secret that I have very strong, often very strange preferences when it comes to food. I think I confound my husband just about every day in that way.

I think I always got pretty excited about decorating for Christmas, but now that I have my own home, those feelings are amplified.

the obvious answer

Yum

What do you do when you have two sausage links on the verge of getting slimy and green peppers popping up in your garden faster than you can feasibly consume them?


The obvious answer is, of course, to make sausage and peppers.

piggly wiggly

Yum

Maple and bacon taste good together, this much we know. We recently took a little vacation to Duck, NC, and had some maple bacon donuts, further proving the point.

Though I admittedly usually associate apple juice with my school lunches of childhood, it certainly shouldn't be limited to that!

solo sausage

Yum

What do you make for yourself when you eat alone?


More specifically, what do you make when you want something other than an egg or a bowl of cereal?*

*Am I the only one who considers those things a perfectly acceptable option?

I've been known to complain from time to time, about everything from the rain to terrible drivers to the ever-present dog hair on my clothes. One thing about which I never need to gripe again is the time and effort it takes to marinate my pork loin--Smithfield® has taken care of that!

fit to be thai-ed*

Yum

*It's an understatement to say that the potential wordplay for "Thai" is vast.


It took nearly 33 years, but I'm finally coming around to Thai food.

scaling the precipice like a couple of mountain goats

Yum

My fiancé and I recently took a trip up north into Maine. Neither of us had been to the Pine Tree State before and were eager to see some moosen take in some awesome sights...and perhaps a bite or 50 of lobster.

saved by the sauce

Yum

Okay, so even though my honey likes his pork shoulder without any glitz or glamour, I'm only human. I occasionally often make mistakes.

butting in

Yum

Is a cut of meat labeled as pork butt the same as pork shoulder?


It seems that in most cases, the answer is yes.

when change is good

Yum

When I find a recipe that's easy, relatively inexpensive, and yields delicious results, I tend to stick with it. Sure, I may tweak it here and there each time I make it, but the basic method and ingredients usually remain the same.

better than coal?

Yum

Some people think pig tails are just a hair style for little girls. I guess those people weren't raised in a farming family with a grandpa with a peculiar sense of humor.

this little piggy went to market

Yum

I know I'm not the only person who thought Stacey's maple bacon cheesecake on The Next Food Network Star sounded amazing, right? Bacon in dessert applications seems to be the way to go these days.

iiiiit's bacon!

Yum


More than almost any other aroma, the smell of sizzling bacon has a magical power to convince a person that she's hungry even if she's only just stuffed her stomach full of other foods.
