I recently fell off the face of social media because my brother got married on Saturday and I was back home in Pittsburgh for 5 days. I tend to fall off the grid when I go home. I was my bro Nic’s BEST PERSON (which I am every day, but on Saturday it just happened toContinue reading 5. Stuffed Crown Roast of Pork

38. Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Another full meal from Dinner is Served! I made this in January on some Sunday night when Todd and Leah came over. I cannot remember whether it was cold or not when I made it, but I think that pork chops call for cold weather. Or at least sweater weather. Which is why I findContinue reading 38.

Elvis’ Country Kitchen Soup & Mustard Greens with Potatoes (Southern Style)
Hello, friends! Today’s post is rather fitting for Martin Luther King Day—Dr. King was quite the influence on Elvis Presley; it was MLK’s death only two months prior to the NBC broadcast of Elvis (a.k.a. the 1968 Comeback Special) that inspired “If I Can Dream,” the closing number. In fact, direct quotes from Dr. King are included in theContinue reading Elvis’ Country Kitchen Soup & Mustard Greens with Potatoes (Southern Style)
15. Pork Chops Florentine
Kittens, this dinner, #15, you wanna know how long ago I made this? I made it back in February to commemorate the 2-year anniversary of Dinner is Served! 1972, and my 2 year anniversary with Brian! That’s a loooong time ago. You may recall the cake I made: But before the cake, DiS! regulars LeahContinue reading 15. Pork Chops Florentine
Homemade McRib (yes, you read that correctly)
Have I told you that I like the McRib? Let me rephrase that. Have I told you that I love the McRib? If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you definitely aware. But for those of you who are unaware, I am a McRib lover. Although the McRib was first invented in 1981 andContinue reading Homemade McRib (yes, you read that correctly)
1-2-3-4-5 Sticky Spareribs
Darlings, sorry that this took longer than I thought but, as promised, here is the recipe for the ribs that I made on New Year’s Eve. And yes, they did taste as good as they look. I think my photography has really improved! This recipe is adapted by 1-2-3-4-5 Sticky Spareribs (Tang Chu Pai Gu)Continue reading 1-2-3-4-5 Sticky Spareribs
14. Ham Rolls with Pecans
Quickie weeknight meal! For this I used the leftover Canadian Bacon/ham from the Filled Omelet brunch a few days before. There’s no reason to waste perfectly good ham, am I right? I also liked the name of this dinner because ham rolls makes me think of Pork Roll a.k.a. Taylor Ham, which is one of the finer thingsContinue reading 14. Ham Rolls with Pecans
110. Filled Omelets
A little fact about Dinner is Served. They’re not all dinners. In the latter part of the set (from 99 on) there are salads, desserts, and appetizers. And there are also brunches! #110 Filled Omelets is my first brunch. Brunch should be shared with friends (and morning cocktails) so I thought that entertaining guests wasContinue reading 110. Filled Omelets
Dinner is Served for the 30th time!!!
I know why you, dear readers, voted this dinner to be my 30th meal. Not because it was the fanciest meal or the most involved. It was all because of 2 words. I feel like I must apologize because in my first milestone meal, after the audience-participation and the voting, I ended up with whatContinue reading Dinner is Served for the 30th time!!!
16. Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs
I am going to say it right off the bat: I love Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs. #16 is definitely one of my top 3 favorite Dinner is Served! meals thus far. But you might be asking yourself the same thing I did when I chose this meal: what the hell are Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs? When IContinue reading 16. Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs
85. Roast Pork Tenderloin
If you recall, my first Dinner is Served! card was #41 Fruit Stuffed Pork Loin. That dish, albeit my first try and very technical, was a great success. Seriously. Read Cleveland’s comments from that one. Dinner is Served! had impressed with its first pork dish, and had a lot to live up to with #85Continue reading 85. Roast Pork Tenderloin
45. Baked Ham With Raisin Sauce
Note: this meal contains my first foray into gelatin molds. I really enjoy a good baked ham so I approached this card with both anticipation and trepidation. You see, my mum’s Christmas Eve ham is the stuff of legend. Partly because of her preparation, partly because we only have it once a year, but IContinue reading 45. Baked Ham With Raisin Sauce
41. Fruit Stuffed Pork Loin (the results)
Ah, card #41. You took almost an entire day to make.
41. Fruit Stuffed Pork Loin
Tomorrow I will be attempting to make my first meal from Dinner is Served. Well, actually, that is a lie; I did once make #32. Pot Roast in Foil, but that was because I lost a bet. This is the first time, for realsies.
