Maple Sugar Candied Bacon

Friday July 10th 2009

I know. Here I am again, going on about bacon. (I can admit it. I might have a problem.) Ever since I made candied bacon with a chili and peach jam glaze a few weeks ago, I can’t get the stuff of my mind. This time, I wanted to try a different method. (All in the name of science, you understand.)

Bacon & Garlic Encrusted Roast Pork Loin

Tuesday April 21st 2009

What’s better than roasted pork? How about roasted pork wrapped in crisp bacon? I know. That’s kind of what I thought, too. (Pig x 2!).
This is so simple, but so delicious. (This is one of my favorite roast beasts, along with my Deli-Style Roast Beef.)

With most pigs bred as lean as they are these days, [...]

Smokey Black Bean Soup with Orange & Cilantro

Friday January 2nd 2009

It’s been freezing here in Boston for the last week or so, which has put me in serious comfort-food mode.
I’ve had a few days off, and have been able to flit in and out of the kitchen, tending to hearty, slow-cooking dishes. (Hehe…Hooray for vacation! I’m just sad it has to end.)
