I love slow cooked, chiapas style pork, but I don’t always have 4 hours to wait for dinner. That’s when I turn to Mexican Pork Tenderloin Tenderloin is such a great ingredient because it cooks quickly, but it tastes great. You can use it in so many wonderful dishes…like this one. I was actually really…
Okay, so this is another easy recipe and another great topping for tacos, roasted pork, soups, even omelets. It’s Pico de Gallo All in all, pico de gallo (strangely enough, Spanish for “rooster’s beak”), is crazy simple to make as long as you have basic knife skills (and pretty easy even if you don’t.) All…

Last week, Chef Jasper Mirabile had a great Limoncello Experience where he and Suzanne Frisse of Meadowlark Acres served us course after course after course of delicious breads, pastas, chicken, and desserts featuring limoncello. He was gracious enough to share his recipes, which I have included unmodified below. If you like how this sounds, he…
Slow Cooker Chiapas-Style Mexican Pork If I was stranded on a desert island and could only bring one cooking tool with me, it would be my slow cooker. (Don’t read too much into that sentence since if I was on a desert island, I could fashion a grill from native trees and rocks and probably…
Okay, so a little while back I released some recipes for Cooking With Your Kids, but as my friend Marc tells me, if you are going to cook with your kids, you are going to need some stuff from SproutGear Of course, he owns SproutGear.com, a cool little kids’ boutique, so he’s not really the…
