And sometimes you’re lazy (in my case most of the time) and don’t plant seeds in a nice row all spaced out. Nope you just sprinkle them around and watch them grow, and get crowded, and grow and get more crowded. Then you have to do what every gardener dreads…thinning. Oh how can I kill […]

Chili Lime Salt and Lemon Rosemary Salt
I’ve begun to realize that I have an obsession with salt, salt of every flavor and variety. I don’t heavily salt my food but I do enjoy the briny taste of salt when it hits my taste buds. I’ve always had a preference for salt over sweet, and if I have a sweet I love […]
Chorizo Spanish Rice
Guess what I’m off to this weekend? Ah-yep, goin to the cabin! Not just me and McGyver but my BFF and her boy. I’m planning on having some fun and drinking some beer. Speaking of BFF’s I originally got my fav Spanish Rice recipe from her. It’s simple and easy and I like that. I […]
Duck in the Hole
One of these days I’m going to get some time off! In the meantime I’m continuing to share my posts over at Pig of the Month. Kicking this week off I’ve made a version of Toad in the Hole with a Pig of the Month Duck, Pear and Port sausage and served it up with […]

Would you believe these Danish’s are made with packaged crescent rolls? When I got my package of Apple Pie Bacon from Pig of the Month I couldn’t wait to make these. I’m so in lurve with this bacon! I have another pound of it in my freezer so you can expect more recipes with […]
Fried Andouille Sausage Po’boy
This is possibly the best Po’boy in the world…but before that, a little rant. I’m losing my mind or someone is playing ‘Gaslight‘ on me. A few month’s ago I lost my kick ass, high dollar SD card for my camera. No.where.to.be.found. I swear! I am super religious about taking my card out, putting it […]

Spaghetti alla Carbonara
This never happens, ever. I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment this month and within 30 seconds I had a recipe picked out. Just.like.that. I was assigned Kate’s Kitchen, as I scrolled down her page I saw this egg yolk nested in spaghetti and the word guanciale jumped out at me. Done. That’s it. That’s […]
Maryland Fried Chicken
I’ve had some cooking nemesis in my day, you know the dishes that you just can’t seem to get right? For many years I struggles with making a good flour based gravy, it is simple to make but I just was trying too hard and would come out with lumpy flour-y gravy. Yet I could […]
Pressure Cooker {Venison or Beef} Enchiladas
Why did I ever buy canned enchilada sauce? And how come no one ever told me that making your own enchilada sauce was so easy? Doesn’t anyone love me? Don’t you think I had a right to know? Thank goodness for Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned cook with Sara, a Midwestern girl […]
