If you think pork chops are mundane than you have another think coming to you. Hands down these are the best pork chops I have personally ever had. The bourbon molasses glaze, the parsnip puree and the cran-apple compote, sigh. So perfect. There are several components to this dish but you can easily make the […]

Pulled Pork Teriyaki Bowls
We just had a Teriyaki Madness chain open up here in Great Falls and everyone loves it! I have to say I thought it was pretty decent myself. However, I’m a do it yourself gal in the kitchen and when you cook up almost 8 pounds of pork shoulder, grill 5 pounds of squash, 12 […]
Turkey Crisp
Leftovers are rarely an issue in this house, not because we eat gobble everything down, we have no problems eating leftovers. However on big meal days, like Thanksgiving (or when I seem to have no sense of “there’s only two of us”) leftovers can eventually become a put off. You just loose your taste for […]
The naughty bits: Corned Tongue {Pressure Cooked}
Hello? Did I lose you at tongue? My hairdresser gave me tongue…. Is that a little more intriguing? It’s true… Did your mind just go “brown chicken, brown cow”? My hairdresser (Alicia from Linda Michael’s Salon) and I have an odd relationship. That statement is probably not getting your mind out of the gutter either. She […]
Coffee and Hibiscus Spareribs
I’ve turned into such an inconsistent blogger, my life has been railroaded with a platter full of work and activities. After retiring from the Air Force I was trying to find my way, I loved food, any thing and everything to do with food. So I blogged, then went to photography school, then volunteered as […]

The goal: choose a recipe from a secretly assigned blog, make it, photograph it and write a little about it, then reveal your secret assignment on a scheduled post day. A Secret Santa club for food bloggers. Only with Secret […]

Slow cooker BBQ Beef Brisket with Cheese Sauce
I’ve been busy cooking up a storm for Pig of the Month again and I can’t help but share! A brisket cooked in the crockpot that doesn’t fall apart to shreds and then topped with a sinful cheese sauce…better than Arby’s! Get the recipe here.
Roasted Tomato and Kalamata Olive Pasta
Let’s just say, it’s no secret to Mariel and Mary Ann that I’m a big fan of theirs. I started following Feast on the Cheap when they were just a baby blog 😉 As a point of interest, it was their blog where I first heard about Secret Recipe Club! Ahh-yup, my very first […]
