Quinoa is one of those ingredients I seem to run into at the grocery store and always in odd weird places so I have taken that to be a sign that well I need to use it. Luckily Kevin over at Closet Cooking has done a couple dishes with quinoa and the Aztec salad sounded […]
Do not check the URL yes you are still at the same artery clogging, braise filled, pork hugging, vegetarian bashing blog. However, now that the garden is starting to spit out some decent produce time to start incorporating it into dishes.
The joy of a salad is it can be whatever in the heck you want to […]
This is my first attempt at Taste and Create (http://forfood.rezimo.com/) which for those who don’t know each month you are given another blog and choose something from the blog and create it. I have to say this is an amazing and fun concept and definitely something I am looking forward to next month.
The blog I drew […]
Another one of those I have lemongrass, ginger, garlic (duh), and a bunch of other random shit so hmmm…ohhh….marinated steak sounds awesome. I wanted to use flank steak but since I can’t read I grabbed flat iron out of the freezer on accident. No harm no foul since both cuts love smoking hot heat and on […]
Tamarind is another one of those culinary adventures I have not experimented with but want to learn. It really adds a great sour flavor to any dish and the first thing I think of when I think of sour is hot and sour soup. So in order to balance that sourness I chose to add […]
This dish is kind of my big f you to the crappy producers out there who have to scare us with salmonella in tomatoes. Weird to go into a grocery store and see where tomatoes use to be just an empty area with a sign informing us because we want the cheapest tomatoes we could […]

Traditionally it is strips of pork that are marinated in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, 5 spice powder, and sugar. I modified it a little bit (hello crushed red pepper and garlic) and instead of using slices of […]
I have been a grilling fool the last couple of weeks. Normally I am a huge fan of the gas grill during the week but lately my trusty Weber charcoal has been getting a workout.
After doing the herb butter smoked chicken my next goal was to do a beer butt chicken. For those who don’t […]
Last week my boy Blaine over at Seven Son’s Meat (shameless plug) called me and informed me my order of 15 chickens were ready for pick up. After doing a happy dance I scheduled a time to run out to the farm to pick them up.
I wanted to get some pics when I was at […]
The inspiration for this recipe came from Jamie Oliver’s show on Food Network. He did a rhubarb pork using pork belly and it was intriguing to me since rhubarb is considered to be a dessert item not something to be served with pork.
I have rhubarb and duh I have pork so well why not give […]
