Can you believe, me the ultimate beef lover, has never ever tasted or cooked a flat iron steak before? I know, I know, everyone else has. Where have I been, out in the pasture with cows? It was high time that I put an end to this situation. When my grocer had them on special […]
McGyver sat me down last Saturday and said, “I need to lose some weight and I’m going to start Monday, right after the Super Bowl.” He told me this after I already made the menu for the week, after I just finished grocery shopping. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally supportive, more than supportive. I […]
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 […]
Every now and then you whip up something with out giving it a lot of thought. It always surprises me when it comes out better than expected. I had scored this 4 lb pork sirloin roast (bone in) for $4.08 (hurray for catching good deals). It’ been in my freezer for awhile just waiting for […]
Friday Fish Day! Fish Friday! Fish Fry Friday! I don’t know if it’s all the Fs or if fish on Friday is a religious hold over, but fish on Fridays always sounds good to me. Of course fish on any day sounds good to me. Fresh fish in Montana is especially good, since it is such […]
Fajita Marinade. Is the a fajita about the marinade? I’ve had just plain grilled meat, seasoned meat, marinated meat, stove top fried, broiled and grilled meat. It seems to me that a fajita is more about serving some meat in a tortilla with some cooked veg and lots of condiments. Which is one reason why […]
I never ever buy teriyaki marinade or sauce at the grocery store. 1) it is so easy to make 2) the homemade version tastes way better 3) I know exactly what’s in it 4) it’s definitely cheaper 5) it uses standard pantry items 6) it is so easy to make…wait I said that already. It […]
First let me start off showing you what a spring day in Montana looks like. Don’t cha wish you lived here too? That’s the thing about the Northern Tundra, you could get snow in any month of the year. But when summer does come, and it’s not to hot and not to cold and there […]
I’m not really a big fan of tartar sauce, at least not the jarred kind. It just never seemed quite right. But I got a craving for some, can’t explain it exactly. Maybe it had to do with deep frying up some catfish that made me think I needed to slather on some more fat? […]
Happy Valentines Day! I wanted to start the day off with a fabulous breakfast, a rich and decadent breakfast, but I didn’t want to work that hard early in the morning. So Eggs Benedict it will be, it’s really not too difficult to make, toast some English Muffins, warm up some canadian bacon, poach your […]
