Beef/Pork Recipes (Most Popular)
My dad was an old fashion type chef and if there was one thing he loved was Maitre D' butter. It's an easy way to "pump up the volume" on a really good steak. This is somewhat of a departure from the traditional butter, but it rocks, nonetheless.
This is an easy meal and not too heavy. I sometimes serve with a salad and/or a roll.
I like this dish because it is a twist on meatloaf. I like to prepare this dish the day before I serve it. that allows the flavors to mix well and soup to thicken naturally.
Cracklin' Cornbread is one of my family's Thanksgiving tradition.
Cracklings are pork skin that is fried until the fat is rendered off leaving tiny crispy pieces of skin.
You can substitute it with fried bacon. But beware! High Calories!
I didn't do the responsible thing and search for a recipe that was highly rated before trying Polenta out for our Sunday dinner. I didn't even ask my neighbor how his mom made her recipe. Instead, you could say that I threw caution to the wind and made it up as I went - a method that often works great for me when I actually have a clue as to what I'm making. I had very few assumptions about what this dish would be like, if Eric would like it or not, and if the end result would even be blog worthy. Let me tell you this: positive on all accounts. Rich with flavor, filling on the tummy, husband approved, and definitely blog worthy. Here is how I imagined a bowl of creamy Italian Polenta on a late Sunday afternoon.
