Last month I found myself with a ton of apples and a value pack of pork chops. And the official first day of autumn had come and gone, so I decided to make a fall-like, pork-apple dinner. I consulted my copy of The Best of Bon Appetit. Which–I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before–IContinue reading The Best of Bon Appetit: Pork Chops & Sauteed Apples (1979)
It’s back, baby! (albeit a few weeks later than normal) Nine years later and I still find that there’s no better way to close out summer than throwing random pie recipes at my fellow food bloggers. So let’s get into mine. My recipe comes courtesy of Camilla’s Culinary Adventures. From Borden Great American Pies Cookbook,Continue reading PIEATHALON 9: Borden Candy-Apple Cheese Pie (1990)
SPOILER ALERT: This is one of the best DiS1972 cards I have ever prepared. DiS1972 says that this dinner takes 2 hours and 10 minutes. Lets see if those bitches over at Marjon Promotions were lying. I took notes! 3:50 oven was already on to pre-heat. The center of the whole chicken is still frozen.Continue reading 140. Roast Chicken with Apple-Onion Gravy
Today is October 10 and it is currently 82 degrees out. At 5:30pm. I am sick of this bullshit. It’s supposed to be fall now. I want it to be fall so desperately that I am making an apple-pork dish regardless of how hot it is. So, I decided to make this on a weeknight.Continue reading 127. Pork Ribs and Apple Rings
Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Yeah, here in Baltimore we are getting hit by quite the winter (spring?) storm. And everything is closed. EVERYTHING. It is supposed to snow until 5pm tonight, but look at what I’ve got outside my window before noon: My street doesn’t even look like a street. I don’t think I’llContinue reading 27. Swedish Meatballs (Readers’ Choice)
This is me trying to connect this dish to Christmas somehow: Bavarian Meatballs. Bavaria. What do they do in Bavaria? Drink beer. Eat sausage. There’s Alps. Snow. Ski lodge. Sweaters. Christmas sweaters. Oh, shit. Bavarian Christmas Markets! How sweet does that look? I totally want to go to there. I don’t know if they’d serveContinue reading Bavarian Meatballs
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. Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Applejack? For those not in the know, it is an apple brandy. I’ve only ever used it once and it was in this recipe that I made for a party a couple of years ago. But this recipe was so successful, and Applejack is such a random ingredient, that I thought I would share itContinue reading Happy Applejack Month!
The Marguerite Patten Recipe Cards have returned! And with a vengeance! Feast your eyes on this: Well, these definitely look…weird. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from Ms. Patten! Let me get this out of the way: I didn’t make the little bacon rolls. Not because I didn’t want to!  I  just didn’t have any inContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Pork Sausage Croutes
Itâs National Peanut Butter Day! I love me some peanut butter. Did you know that it is most excellent on vanilla ice cream? Itâs true. When I was a kid there was a chubby little girl in my neighborhood who sometimes would play with me and my little brother. And one day my mum gaveContinue reading National Peanut Butter Day!
