delicious seasonal eats
A few years ago when I first made my black bean and chorizo chili, I decided to start making homemade chorizo sausage. It was for several reasons – first being that I hadn’t found a chorizo sausage I really loved, the second was that all of the packaged chorizo I could find ended up being […]
Pork tenderloin is incredible when prepared well. And by that, I mean it should not be the least bit overcooked, but still pink on the interior. Because it is a lean cut of meat, spice rubs and marinades are a great way to add some flavor. I’m a big fan of fennel, and when it’s […]
This Slow Cooker Pork Roast is as flavorful as can be with the addition of balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs. As I’m typing this, the snow is very lightly falling outside. So lightly, I can barely see it. It’s too cold for those giant, lacy snowflakes I like to catch on my tongue. They are […]
Oh, I know it’s been over two weeks since we all ushered in the New Year. It’s taken me that long to go through the dozens and dozens of pictures of our January 1st Feast. Our dear friends couldn’t make it to our early dinner party, so we packaged up part of the meal, my […]

In our family, I am the one who loves chili the very most. I could eat it once a week at least. Typically I make some sort of vegetarian chili because that’s what I like the best. But every so often I cave and make chili with meat in it for my husband and kids. […]
I originally published this recipe over two years ago. I came up with this recipe because I happen to dislike creamy potato salads with mayonnaise, but I loved the idea of German potato salads made with a warm vinaigrette. We’ve really come to love this easy, flavorful salad as a great main dish for a […]
