I love coconut. And, I make no apologies for using copious amounts in this recipe. And, lets not even mention the sweetened condensed milk. Granola bars are meant to be high calorie snacks to eat while hiking or participating in your sport of choice. So, if you’re just lounging around […]
Next to Florida mangoes (Edward, Gold Nugget, Haden, & Valencia Pride), Haitian “Madam Francis” mangoes top my list of favorites. For this recipe, just be sure to find the ripest mangoes available. Mango Braised Pork 4-6 1″ thick slices of pork loin chops 1 large onion, […]
I have dozens of recipes for cornbread. But, this is my all-time favorite. It has a delicate kick of spice with hot diced cherry peppers, onions and black pepper. When I want some real heat, I add 1/4 – 1/2 tsp cayenne. Italian Cornbread makes one 8×8 square […]
Technically, this is a conserve, or whole fruit jam. I made this very small batch with only the barest semblance of a recipe. The result was startlingly good. Having sampled a number of golden berry, or cape gooseberry, jams prior to this, my expectations were fairly low. But, given the […]
This pasta dish won’t win any beauty contests. But, with a handful of finds in a near-empty fridge , the end result was surprisingly tasty. It’s a rather impromptu dish of baked ziti with pesto filling in for the red sauce. Due to the richness, we needed a very small […]
The majority of the time spent preparing this dish goes into browning the pork belly and caramelizing the onions. However, you can make the most of this time by prepping the vegetables at the same time. Just be careful to keep an eye on the stove, burnt onions are useless. […]
With a taste reminiscent of upscale Hershey’s syrup, this wasn’t exactly my goal. But, the smooth consistency made lovely drizzles. This is a perfect chocolate sauce to use as a garnish. And, it makes a near-perfect chocolate milk, as an added bonus! Chocolate Sauce makes over 2 cups […]
Another mostly healthy spice bar made with oatmeal. We really enjoyed the flavor. But, it is noticeably lean. (the texture of a crumbly, yet moist granola bar) A bit more fat would add flavor. If I were eating this as an indulgent treat, I’d add another 2-3 tablespoons of butter. […]
The peel of three grapefruits provides more candied grapefruit than you can use in a year. After setting aside enough candied peel for easter (most to be used in easter bread and wheatberry pie), I still had two full sheet trays of candied peel. So, I decided to turn the […]
Stone’s smoked porter was a perfect match for this rich savory stew. The deep dark bitterness and smoky malt accented all of the natural sweetness in the vegetables and the rich meaty flavor of the veal stock.
