Oven Barbequed Chicken
…and a product review for Bone Suckin’ Sauce! I love bbq chicken on the grill – especially the bits of crispy skin with sauce, blackened with caramelized sugar from the flames. However some days grilling outdoors just isn’t going to happen, for instance when the cold winter wind is blowing rain. Brrr! Thankfully, pretty-fine barbeque… Continue reading Oven Barbequed Chicken
London Broil with Lime-Garlic-Ginger Marinade
Last year we bought a 1/4 grass-fed cattle share – most of which has been consumed. There were a few odd cuts of steak remaining, like this large package labeled “London Broil”. Now best I can tell, “London Broil” is not the name of a cut of meat, it is more of a preparation method. … Continue reading London Broil with Lime-Garlic-Ginger Marinade
Sausage Cheese Balls (gluten-free)
One of my favorite holiday food memories is from spending the night at my cousin LuAnn’s house every year. Her mother, Norma, always had plenty of delicious, homemade treats in the house around Christmas, and we thought we were so clever sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night to gorge on fudge,… Continue reading Sausage Cheese Balls (gluten-free)
Chicken with Mushrooms and Grapes
Suddenly it is almost dinner time, and I haven’t the faintest idea of what I’m going to cook. This is an opportunity to take inventory of what is in the refrigerator, then google it and see what you come up with. It is food roulette – there are hardly any ingredients that someone hasn’t thought… Continue reading Chicken with Mushrooms and Grapes
Lamb Chops with Moroccan Spice Rub and Apricot Risotto
These grass-fed lamb chops from U.S. Wellness Meats are rich in taste and perfect for grilling.

Pork Chops with Sweet Potato and Fennel Hash
Pork chops are so easy. They cook up quickly without much fuss, which makes them great for mid-week dinners. I especially like pork paired with something that has a little sweetness. Fruits like apples, cherries, and apricots are clear winners – but so are the sugars from slowly caramelized fennel, onion, and sweet potatoes in… Continue reading Pork Chops with Sweet Potato and Fennel Hash
Beef Chili Rellenos
Stuffed poblano peppers are a great way to make a pot of chili more interesting, whether you’re having guests or just using up some leftovers. This is not a quick recipe because there is a lot of preparation, but your hard work will pay off! The chili in this recipe is mildly spicy. If you’d… Continue reading Beef Chili Rellenos
Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Soup
This is a nice, simple soup for a cool evening! This recipe is part of our feature on U.S. Wellness Meats, “Music and Meals to Warm You Up“. Visit their website for free-range chicken, grass-fed beef, and other great products! Although I haven’t tried it, coconut milk can probably be substituted for the heavy cream… Continue reading Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Soup
Smoked Turkey Enchiladas with Cranberry Salsa
Leftover turkey. I love it for the first couple of days, then…what to do with it? This recipe for turkey enchiladas is my new favorite way to transform that leftover turkey into something that doesn’t seem like a leftover! Our turkey happened to be smoked, but you could use any cooked turkey or chicken for… Continue reading Smoked Turkey Enchiladas with Cranberry Salsa
Crustless Mini Pecan Pies (grain-free)
Pie filling recipe adapted from Cooks Illustrated (membership required to view link) This recipe may have been born out of my inability to concoct a gluten-free pie crust that meets my satisfaction, but that doesn’t mean these crust-less gems give up anything that you expect in a pecan pie. They are every bit as gooey… Continue reading Crustless Mini Pecan Pies (grain-free)
Thanksgiving Round-up
Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday. For a cook, there is nothing quite so satisfying as planning, cooking, and serving up a feast to your family or friends. One giant meal for the day, with lots of nibbling and snacking in between. I look forward to that first stolen bite of turkey, the privilege of which… Continue reading Thanksgiving Round-up
Beef Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine
Okay, so I forgot that we have already posted a recipe for braised short ribs….what can I say?

This time I did make a few minor changes to the recipe – some… Continue reading Beef Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine
