Short Ribs are one of my favorite cuts of meat for slow braising. The meat becomes fork tender, and is delicious is a rich tomato-sauce-- and even better with red wine! We love ours served over polenta, but this time I decided to serve this recipe over pappardelle pasta (extra wide egg noodles). This recipe isn't complicated to make, but having a cast iron Dutch oven is the perfect way to braise
Roasted Corned Beef with a Bourbon Molasses Glaze and Balsamic Glazed Seared Cabbage
This roasted method of preparing a corned beef dinner is a twist from the traditional "boil method" for a St. Patrick's Day dinner! The brisket is roasted, then brushed with a luscious glaze of brown sugar, molasses and bourbon. Carrots and onion are roasted until sweet and tender. The cabbage is seared, and then gently roasted with beer (or water, if you prefer). The finishing touch is to
Drunken Beans For the Win!
These Drunken Beans have a rich, complex flavor using a mixture of beer and tequila. I promise you that these don't taste boozy or bitter! The beans are brined overnight, then gently cooked in the oven so that the beans would be creamy and intact. Bacon adds a smoky, meaty flavor, and the poblano chilis give a depth of flavor, but isn't fire engine hot! I make these when we have outdoor barbecues,
The Best Pressure Cooker Mexican Pork Carnitas Pulled Pork
Carnitas can best be described as pulled pork. Traditionally, the pork is braised with oranges and aromatics (such as bay leaves, cumin and oregano). Once the tender meat is “pulled”, it’s then deep-fried to give it that delectable crunchy texture. This recipe has been adapted for a pressure cooker and then quickly broiling the pork, instead of deep frying the meat. The pork is bursting with
Blood Orange Upside Down Cornmeal Cake
This cake is not only a gorgeous presentation, with beautiful ruby red blood orange slices-- it's so delicious! The cornmeal gives a crunchy texture to the cake. It's not too sweet, but perfect. Can you substitute regular oranges or even Meyer lemons? Absolutely! Until I spent two weeks visiting my grandmother, in Bavaria, I wasn't familiar with blood oranges. I learned this the hard way. Each
The Best Meyer Lemon Meringue Tartlets
Lemon is definitely my chocolate--and I especially love lemon meringue pie. This dessert is a "twist" on my favorite pie. I made a Pâte Brisée tart crust (buttery with a sweet balance of sugar). The crust was so tender and almost like a cookie. The Meyer lemon curd had just the right balance of tartness and sweet, and the piped on meringue "stars" made these look so pretty. Back in the day,
Linguine, Tomato and Basil One Pot Pasta Meal
Linguini, Tomatoes and Basil are a perfect combination. Pasta is one of my favorite fast dinners to make, at home. This recipe is nothing short of a cooking miracle-- just add pasta, and the rest of the ingredients to a large sauté pan…add water and cook for 9 minutes. You get fast and delicious pasta with a creamy sauce-- without the cream! It's a fun recipe to make and a nice change when you
The Best King Cake With Cream Cheese Filling
A king cake (sometimes shown as kingcake, kings' cake, king's cake, or three kings cake) is a type of cake associated in a number of countries with the festival of Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season; in other places, it is associated with the pre-Lenten celebrations of Mardi Gras/Carnival. There are many different recipes for king cake recipes. This recipe is a sweet yeast dough with
The Best Vegetarian Chili – Thick and Hearty and Healthy!
This Vegetarian Chili turned out much better than I thought it would. I absolutely adore Chili con Carne, and I make a great batch of it-- if I do say so, myself. There are some surprise ingredients that give a "meatier" flavor to this vegetarian chili. It was fun making my own chili powder, and really not that difficult. I particularly liked the bulgur that is added at the end. It gives the
