This is a great pork tenderloin with the most delicious peach and almond compote flavored with vermouth. The photo of this dish doesn’t do it justice. It is surprisingly good. I adapted this recipe after seeing it on the Today Show. The Scotto family shared this and two other scrumptious peach recipes perfect for summer. [...]

This is my version of Rachel Ray’s, “You won’t be single for long vodka cream pasta.” In my version, I added Italian sausage, because my man, or any man I would have interest in, couldn’t be won over with a solely vegetarian dish. The first dinner I made for my husband wasn’t this vodka cream [...]

I make this about once or twice a year. Summer wouldn’t be complete in our home without this classic comfort food. This is my favorite type of sauce to make, a sweet and tangy tomato based sauce with a touch of heat. After I make it, I keep it warm in the crock-pot. It tastes [...]

Here is an easy recipe for fast boneless country ribs. Country style ribs aren’t actually ribs at all, but a cut of pork between the ribs and shoulder. They are boneless, low in fat, and tender. They are closer in relation to a pork chop, but are cut in strips. They make perfect, no mess, [...]

This is a quick and easy weeknight meal for Italian sausage and pepper pasta. I used red and green bell peppers in this dish, but I also make this dish with Cubanelle peppers. Cubanelle peppers have a wonderful sweet taste. They are a little pricier, but well worth it. Make sure that you use Italian [...]

This is an easy ham glaze that is very delicious. This recipe is from Alton Brown. The only adjustment I like to make is to use my own homemade ginger cookies, and to cook the ham to a higher temperature. The original recipe is 140 degrees, but I like to take the ham to 150 [...]

This is an easy recipe for a simple and delicious Italian bean soup. I love soups in cold weather. Unfortunately, it is still not that cool here in central Florida. Actually it is still so warm, we are running the air conditioner! Many Floridians here say that they cannot get into the spirit with the [...]

This is a delicious southern comfort food. Fried pork chops were a staple in my family when I was growing up, and continue to be a part of our regular family meals now. I like to use bone in chops for more flavor, but you can use boneless pork chops also. I use my southern [...]

I have been in the apple spirit this week. Applesauce and pork chops is a dish that I grew up on, and wanted to reinvent the pork and apple flavor in a new dish. I spotted some delicious apple cider at the supermarket, and decided it would be a wonderful marinate for savory pork chops. [...]

This recipe is one of my favorite dishes, pulled pork simmered in barbecue sauce. This is what I use to think Alabama Barbecue was, I did not learn about the mayonnaise barbecue until much later in life. My mom always made barbecued pulled pork this way, and it was such a treat. For this recipe, [...]

I only make this recipe once or twice a year, and it is such a treat. The bacon makes this dish so wonderful. This recipe also calls for a great sauce that I had the opportunity to try, Country Bob’s sauce. It is full of flavor. You can click here, or on my giveaway button [...]

This is a fast and easy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Frittatas are easy, cheap, and delicious. You can make them with any leftovers you have on hand. This one has country sausage, green peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, and fresh tomatoes. I love to make these on the weekends, or as a quick weekday [...]

A classic carbonara is made with delicious prosciutto and parmesan. However, carbonara is classically a frugal dish in Italy, and prosciutto is pretty expensive in the States. So, I was trying to reinvent this as a frugal American dish, and trying to combine my husband’s Italian heritage, and my Southern. This dish married the two [...]

This is an old favorite of my family. My husband first came up with the idea of ham, pineapple and jalapeno peppers when he was working in a Pizza Hut in high school. He made this pizza for the Sunday lunch buffet. It was a big hit. I convinced his later to change from jalapeno [...]
