I have to admit that I actually made this dish more than 6 months ago, I didn’t post it for what ever reason. I guess it just wasn’t it’s time. When the Baby boy suggested that I make pulled pork sandwiches for the upcoming Super Bowl, I remembered this fabulous recipe for pulled pork and […]

Hooter’s Hot Wings (Copy Cat Recipe)
Did you know that I used to be a Hooter’s Girl? I served up Hot Wings and Beer. Not really, I was a copy cat just for a day (many years and many less pounds ago). McGyver thought it would be a hoot (pun intended) to get me a Hooter’s girl outfit. So one day […]
His, Mine and Ours Game Day Quesadillas
Would you believe it if I told you that I’m the only member of my family that likes football? It’s true; if I watch a game I watch it alone while everyone else goes about their business. Except for one time a year, Super Bowl time. Suddenly on Super Bowl day I have a crowd […]
Biscochitos
I have a problem. It’s been building for months, an insidious problem that won’t go away. It’s fat, it’s been building up and now it is about to bust it seams and get out of control. Something had to be done! The best treatment for getting rid of fat? Cookies! I know what your thinking, […]
Soupa Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken Soup)
My final post in a 3 part series. Soupa Avegolemono is traditionally made with eggs, chicken broth, rice or a small pasta like orzo with out the addition of chicken. Although not traditional in the purist sense, many Greek restaurants serve Soupa Avgolemono with chicken in it. In my version, I’ve omitted the eggs because […]
Rice Pilaf with Vegetables
Part 2 of my 3 part post: I tweeted and facebooked asking for suggestions to go with my Crispy Roasted Lemon Chicken, I got some great suggestions. My mom suggested rice pilaf, the suggestion reminded me that I have not made rice pilaf an eons, so I was excited to make it again. I also […]
Crispy Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken
The Baby boy loves chicken skin, really crispy chicken skin. He also loves lemon. I wanted a special meal for him once he came from the hospital. Not that the hospital food was all that bad, as a matter of fact the only bad food he had was the crispy chicken. Which wasn’t crispy and […]
Brie, Bacon and Fig in a Fillo Cup
Brie is, without a doubt, is my most favorite of all cheeses. It is today anyways. I am often like a Labrador retriever, whatever is good at the moment is my favorite thing. Walk time, it’s my favorite thing, dinner time, it’s my favorite thing, fetch, it’s my favorite thing, brie it’s my favorite thing. […]
Jicama and Mango Salad
In my last post McGyver made Pierno De Peurco Rellena, a fabulous rolled and stuffed pork loin. He used to make Pierno De Peurco Rellana for all of the H.O.G. members in Panama. The dish is labor intensive, and rich with flavor. I figured the least I could do was to make all the sides. […]
Pierno De Puerco Rellena
Meet the cook, my husband McGyver. One of my goals this year was to “let go”, in other words, get out of the kitchen and let McGyver cook (he knows how too, quite well in fact). McGyver has been chomping at the bit to make me one his specialty dishes he used to make all […]
