Happy Eclipse Day! How are you celebrating? Staring at the sun? Hope you were one of the non-procrastinators that was able to score some eclipse glasses! I've tried my way bribing a coworker to bring me back some, to no avail. I guess I can try to make a pinhole viewer in the next few… Continue reading Caribbean Pulled Pork Sliders

Creamy Ranch Cauliflower
If you were to meet me for this first time, and you weren't quite sure where I was from, there would be one dead giveaway: my affinity for Ranch dressing. I feel like the ranch obsession kind of originated in the South. I'm not sure the yankees up north have the stomach for it like… Continue reading Creamy Ranch Cauliflower
Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
It's been a pleasant weekend of hanging out with friends, getting few things accomplished, and enjoying cookouts. A lot of napping was had yesterday, too. Needless to say, although my weekend was productive in the capacity that I didn't lounge around at home for two days---it was also completely unproductive. I'm just now getting around to my… Continue reading Bavarian Meatball Sandwiches
Teriyaki Turkey Sliders
Happy 7-11 Day! Want to know something weird about 7-11? The ones in Oklahoma are not associated with the nationwide (and now worldwide) chain AT ALL. Yep. You read that right.

He prefers them raw. I've never been able to eat raw carrots. I remember when I was a kid, watching cartoons,… Continue reading Cinnamon-Sugar Glazed Carrots
Thai-Style Ribs
One of the appliances that gets used the most in my kitchen is my slow-cooker. Whoever invented that miraculous device, thank you. I'm constantly experimenting with cooking different meats, stews, and side dishes in my slow-cooker. I've never made ribs inside of one before, but I've read a lot of blog posts about it. Cooking ribs anywhere… Continue reading Thai-Style Ribs
North Carolina Pulled Pork Tostadas
Barbecue isn't just a method of cooking meat, it's a way of life in Texas. I've eaten my fair share of ribs, brisket, pulled pork and smoked sausage. I'm not big on brisket, but it is a Texas specialty at legendary restaurants like Salt Lick and Pecan Lodge. I've always been more of a fan of the… Continue reading North Carolina Pulled Pork Tostadas
