on Oct 25, 2013, Updated Nov 16, 2021 12 Comments I start with a thicker cut pork chop with the bone-in, but of course you can use whatever cut of pork chop or even pork tenderloin that you like. No hard and fast rules where the meat is concerned, just be sure it is a cut of meat that you like.

on Dec 13, 2012, Updated Oct 07, 2021 7 Comments Okay, so my handmade gifts list just wouldn’t be the same without this Praline Sauce. Oh my goodness gracious! It is one of those things that you’ll want to keep on hand for any celebration you can think of for the future.

on May 11, 2012, Updated Aug 30, 2023 27 Comments Bright green stalks of asparagus are popping up all around lately – at our local farmer’s market and in the produce department at my grocery store.

I’ll support the local farmers who did think about planting them instead....
When I hear the phrase “chicken and rice” I get super disinterested. Something about it just sounds really plain to me and I completely lose interest. HOWEVER – I saw a dish on a menu at a local Thai restaurant with some crazy name I couldn’t pronounce but a description in English that basically sounded like a Thai version of chicken and rice. I was intrigued. If you DO like chicken and rice, then you will really love this interpretation....
