Don’t tell the kids, but it appears I have a thing for lamb. Every now and then I have a craving for the delicously rich flavor of lamb, and this pizza from Food & Wine magazine certainly satisfied my need. Thankfully, ground lamb is becoming readily available at better grocery stores!
I did have a little [...]

You’ve gotta try this when you want to serve a play on the traditional ham dinner. Admittedly it’s not ham at all, but pork chops were close enough for us, and the results were fantastic!
Our family was on its own for Easter this year, as various outside events caused our usual larger family gathering to be [...]

I’ve nominated this as the best pork roast we’ve ever made in our humble kitchen. The meat was succulent and tender, and as juicy as I’ve ever tasted. It’s a slow-cooker recipe, so as the day went on the pleasant aroma of the whiskey sauce continued to build, teasing our noses. As we sat down [...]

Incredible. This recipe was billed as a last chance for comfort food before winter comes to an end. I can’t limit it to just that timeframe. With a cooking time over three hours, we had ample opportunity during the day to wander through the house and breathe the intoxicating aroma emanating from our kitchen. Six cloves of garlic, the [...]
