In the south it is sacrilege to not smoke barbecue. Well I don’t have a smoker and I do have a slow-cooker. In South Carolina, where I live, and really anywhere in the Carolinas there is a BBQ joint on every other block. That is a great thing. Some restaurants do it better than others,…

Chorizo Tacos
Chorizo, cotija, onion, cilantro and jalapeno. Those simple ingredients are all you need for some of the best tacos I’ve had. In this country tacos tend to be loaded down with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. No need here, simple is just fine. There is a little restaurant here in Greenville, SC called…
Braised Pork Belly, Roast Beets, Sautéed Mustard Greens with Mustard Jus
My attempt at replicating a meal I had at FIG (Food is Good) in Charleston. I could never match what Chef Latta and the staff at FIG (one of my top two restaurants in Charleston) can do, but this turned out pretty good never the less. The meal I had at the restaurant is chronicled…
Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich
I love Banh Mi sandwiches. Fresh, spicy, tangy, crunchy, all the good stuff. This may not be a traditional Banh Mi but it tastes close to them. I used leftovers from several other meals listed below so this is one of the easiest meals you’ll see me post. I had the pork loin, I had…
Thai Pork Tenderloin and Coconut Jasmine Rice with Edamame
Walking into the grocery, I had no ideas…until I noticed pork tenderloin on sale. After a long weekend we really just wanted something light and refreshing. This coconut jasmine rice is very light and the edamame adds a bit of crunch. This is an easy, light meal. HA, too funny! After writing this entire post,…
Local Pork Chops Stuffed with Drunken Cranberries, Walnuts and Gorgonzola
I found these massive local pork chops and had no choice. I wasn’t even feeling pork chops, I was thinking baked chicken wings. Thankfully my better half delicately suggested she wanted the pork. These turned out amazing. The stuffing was perfect. Tart, sweet, crunchy, savory, earthy yumminess is how I would describe. The salad supported…
Roast Herb Pork, Succotash and Baked Polenta Fries
This succotash recipe is one of my favorites. I liked everything about the roast pork loin and baked polenta fries, but this meal is all about the succotash. The herbed pork was very tender, a bit too pink for my better half, but very nice. I liked the idea of the polenta fries and I…
Jagerschnitzel with Spaetzle and German Red Cabbage Kraut
UPDATE: I made a FODMAP friendly version and a completely from scratch version, if you like. Check it out here: My favorite German meal is Jagerschnitzel with Spaetzle and German Red Cabbage Kraut. As I am sure I have mentioned before (my friends would say ad nauseum) I spent a good chunk of my childhood…
Ginger-Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Jasmine Edamame Rice
I was in the mood for Asian food and the pork tenderloin looked good that day (and was on sale), so I made ginger marinated pork tenderloin with jasmine edamame rice.
