Louisiana Pork Chops
Thanksgiving is bearing down upon us. It’s hard to muster up the energy to cook a weeknight dinner while I’m still planning and prepping for the main event on Thursday. But, this pork chop recipe couldn’t be easier. A basic … Continue reading
Cocoa Rubbed Pork with Smothered Onions
It’s been a warm November, but this weekend there was a distinct chill in the air. What better way to warm up than cocoa? So here’s another great roast for the slow cooker. I adapted this for the slow cooker … Continue reading
DIY Chalkboard Spice Jar
Last week I took a look at salt & pepper sets. This week, I went ahead and created my own with a pair of pine nut jars, chalkboard paint, and elbow grease. Let the bottles sit in hot water. Remove … Continue reading

I don’t cook beef often. I grew up eating a lot of grizzly, burnt steak that has turned me (unfairly) against red meat. I do appreciate a nice piece of rare meat on occasion, though it’s something I like to … Continue reading
The Great Salt & Pepper Shake Up
I’ve been looking for a salt & pepper shaker for a few months, not particularly on the hunt, but I’ve yet to find something that has grabbed my fancy. So many sets veer too far towards kitsch, or are completely … Continue reading
Brown Sugar Roast Pork with Apple Stuffing
I’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of my slow cooker this fall: chili, pulled pork, and several roasts. The slow cooker saves on my gas bill, and because I have a model with a built-in meat thermometer, it’s … Continue reading
