Slow Cooker Shredded Pork Tacos
Printable version I have cooked several pork loins in the past. Usually I have either roasted them in the oven – or my favorite way – cooked them over indirect heat on a charcoal grill. Ironically, I had never cooked a whole loin in a crock-pot. Pork loin is lean and tender and I have…

Spicy Thai Curry Beef
I made this recipe to challenge myself. I haven’t had that much experience cooking Asian food, let alone Thai food specifically. I thought making a dish adapted from the Spicy Thai Curry Beef from Fine Cooking‘s One-Pot Meals would be a great place to start and introduce me to some new flavors or ingredients. I…

Red Pepper and Onion Dip

Spicy Ramen Pepper Steak
Printable version I bought a bundle of ramen noodles recently at the Dollar Tree as an impulse buy. I thought it would be fun to incorporate them into a tasty soup or salad. When I was in college I loved ramen noodles, not just because they were cheap, but for their flavor. When I worked…

Asparagus Prosciutto Wraps
I have learned the majority of my cooking skills from following recipes. I think it is important to stay close to the original the first time a new dish is made – just to try and replicate what the recipe creator originally intended. It’s a nice way to discover new flavor combinations and cooking techniques…

Cream of Mushroom Soup
Printable version This is the second cream of mushroom soup I’ve created for the blog and the main difference with this one is that it’s vegetarian. I also made this batch a lot larger than the first. I needed this to be a starter course for at least 12 people. I start off sauteing 2…
