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
Coq For Two
Oh la la, file this under romantic dinners for two. I saw a recipe for “Quick Coq au Vin” in last month’s Bon Appetite, which is a shame, because this is not a difficult dish. I’ve also seen (and been … 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
Cider Beignets with Maple Sugar
A few months ago Boston was sponsoring a food truck contest; they would help the winning business with loans and other assistance. I daydreamed a bit, but didn’t submit an application. It was fun to create an imaginary menu — … Continue reading
