Corned Beef and Cabbage

Posted by & filed under , .

A St. Patrick’s Day staple at our house, not because we’re Irish, but because it’s so tasty! Ingredients: Corned Beef (just make it yourself, it’s easy, and you’ll know what’s in it!) 6 Red Potatoes, quartered 1/2 head of shredded cabbage (or a whole head, if cabbage is small) 6 carrots, peeled and chopped Directions: [...]

Corned Beef

Posted by & filed under , , .

This is usually made with Beef Brisket, but feel free to mix it up a bit and use a tri-tip, or some other large cut of beef. Often combined with cabbage, potatoes and carrots for Corned Beef and Cabbage, for which I’ll do a recipe on it’s own. Ingredients: 3-4 pound piece of beef (brisket [...]

Easy pizza sauce #2

Posted by & filed under , , .

Almost as easy as Quick and Easy Pizza Sauce, but tomato puree (if you pick the right one) has no added salt or ingredients, so adding a little extra salt and spice helps. And, this one has no olive oil added, which some people may prefer. Ingredients 8 Ounce can of Tomato Puree 2 tsp [...]

Sloppy Joes (meat or vegetarian or vegan)

Posted by & filed under , , , .

Based on a Recipe by Guy Fieri  Servings: 4-6 I like sloppy joes served over potatoes. They hold up better to the moisture than buns do. Serve the sloppy joe mixture on anything you prefer. Rice is also a great option. Ingredients 1/4 cup canola oil 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced 1 green [...]

Boccalone – Tasty Salted Pig Parts

Posted by & filed under .

Boccalone is said to make some of the best cured/cooked pork in the Country. I finally made a trip to San Francisco to get some, and it lived up to it’s reputation. The Nduja, a spicy spreadable salame, was one of the best things I’ve eaten, the Cappicolo was delightful, and the Pancetta Piana was [...]

Hummus

Posted by & filed under , , .

Hummus is so easy to make, it almost feels like cheating to call it a recipe. But as the $5 containers of "gourmet" hummus in any specialty market show, maybe it’s not so obvious. There are a lot of variations, I’ll post a few different ones, and you should feel free to mix/match as you [...]

Dutch oven pulled pork

Posted by & filed under , , , .

I was a little dubious about this recipe, since I’ve been making pulled pork by coating with KayDub Rub overnight and then smoking the pork shoulder for 12 hours until it falls off the bone. This recipe didn’t have a dry rub step at all, and the pork shoulder both had the fat removed, which [...]

Dipping Oil and Vinegar

Posted by & filed under , , .

Years ago we grabbed a bottle of Dipping Oil at one of our favorite bakeries. It was delightful: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spices. We only went to the bakery 2-3 times a year, but when we went, we’d get a bottle if they had it. But, this bottle of oil cost about 2-3 times what [...]
