What would we do without Betty Crocker? I came across this recipe while searching for dishes I could use pork shoulder in. Although her recipe called for country ribs, I thought I’d try it with the shoulder being its a tasty cut of meat and is quite economical. You can add snow peas or Edameme […]
During Lent, my family does not eat meat on Fridays. Having a “meat and potatoes” husband, I found it difficult to find meatless dinner ideas that would keep him happy.

I love dishes made with pork shoulder/butt because it is always so tender and juicy. While watching a cooking show, Chef Jeff Mauro introduced this dish. Since it was made with my favorite cut of meat, I decided to give it a try. Of course I added an ingredient or two to suit my taste […]
My youngest brother Tom shared this rich and creamy, downright delicious recipe with me just in time to use my leftover Thanksgiving turkey. It’s delicious as is or you can add items to suit your family’s likes. For example, I added 1/3 cup chopped celery along with a pinch of smoked paprika and a sprinkle […]

Make a Double Batch of This Polish Staple! There’s something about putting in the effort to make a few dozen Pierogies. All the filling prep aside, the mixing, rolling, stuffing, and cutting make some folks wonder why any sane person would bother with homemade Pierogi. It might be a lot of work, but once you’ve […]
Tender, juicy pork, rubbed in spices and garlic, simmered in root beer in the slow cooker, shredded and slathered in a fantastic BBQ sauce and served on a bun.
I found this cajun jambalaya recipe on the internet a few years ago and my family really loves it. I believe it is one of Chef Emeril’s creations. It’s spicy, flavorful and is filled with sausage, chicken and shrimp!
This savory dish is sure to please the entire family. The meat is tender, moist and very flavorful. The gravy is just heavenly.
