Oak Glen
Last weekend, we visited Oak Glen, California. Just a 40 minute drive from home, is this cute town in the foothills where APPLE farmers abound. There are several little "villages" set up with apples of all kinds (16 varieties),...
Fruity Ginger Pork Chops
I had salad fixings and two thick pork loin center chops, and was standing, first in my fridge, and then in my pantry, figuring out what to do with them. I think some of the nights when you begin dinner...
Sausage with Grapes
In honor of the vendemmia, or grape harvest, I tried this simple recipe by Mary Ann Esposito from Tastes of Italia magazine, Oct. 2009. 1 lb. Italian sausage 1 T. olive oil (if needed) 2 c. mixed red and...
Caramel-Braised Pork
I usually try 1-2 new recipes a week. Some I find in magazines, others in my many cookbooks, some on the internet, or blogs. Sometimes I just make them up. This one came from Williams-Sonoma. Brad gets emails from...
Herbed Stuffed Pork Roast
I had a 4.5 lb pork roast in the freezer. First step was to butterfly it into one large flat piece. I made an herb filling in the food processor with 10 large springs of rosemary, a large handful of...
Grill Every Day Spice Rub
Brad has a few cookbooks of his own. His favorite is Grill Every Day by Diane Morgan. He makes up a big batch of this spice rub, we keep it in a tightly sealed jar, and it can be used...
Pork Chops with Gorgonzola and Balsamico
There has been a recent discussion on using balsamic vinegar on the Slow Talk food forum. I posted my simple glaze, and I realized I haven't made it for quite a while. The salad was a leftover from the...
"Clean Out the Fridge" Wontons
What to have for dinner? I diced one pork chop into tiny pieces, and sauteed it in a little sesame oil. Into the food processor went: a handful of baby carrots 1 zucchini half a portobello mushroom 1 green onion...
Balsamic Pork and Leek-Corn Pudding
Something a little different for dinner! We both really enjoyed both recipes. Easy, too! For the pork chops, I browned 2 pork chops in a little olive oil. When they were half way cooked, I removed them from the...
Bursting Summer Flavors
What to have for dinner? This is a constant topic for thought and discussion at our house. Last night I came up with lemon-garlic orzo with grilled squash and peach-bourbon-rosemary pork brisket. I gathered a few ingredients to combine with...
Stuffing a Pork Roast
The pork loin roast weighed 4.5 pounds. I had my butcher butterfly it for me, and then I pounded it slightly to get a nice, even rectangle. I layered spinach leaves first. Next, some crumbled gorgonzola: Finally, a layer of...
Pork Tenderloin in Orange Caramel Sauce
I am on a caramel kick. Yesterday, I made a double batch of "Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream". When I decided to make a caramel cake with caramel-marscapone buttercream and butter-toffee crunch for my dinner party, i began to browse...
Pork, Peaches, and Dessert Made from Leftovers!
I barbequed a pork loin marinated in olive oil, and lots of thyme. The peach sauce was delicious! We also had haricot verts with pancetta and sliced almonds, and some leftover polenta. Peach Sauce: 2 peached, peeled and chopped...
Our Tuesday Montisi Dinner
Though a couple of people munched on some pecorino with their afternoon wine, we advised everyone to "come hungry" for dinner. MENU: Salad with figs marinated in balsamic and honey, red onion, gorgonzola and balsamic dressing, garnished with a warm...
Apricot-Glazed Spareribs
I have an aversion to tomato-based sauces (except my ragu, or a Bolognese sauce), so I am always happy to try a new recipe for ribs that has no tomato products. This was based on a recipe from February, 2008...
A Quick, Tasty Dinner
It was Wednesday, and Brad would be home for dinner. The nights he's not here, I typically eat "diet food", a salad, or leftovers. I am finished with clients at 7:00, so I wanted to do something delicious, but simple...
