Pork tenderloin is a great cut of meat for those on a budget. It's extremely cheap for the amount of meat you get. I can buy a big two-pack, weighing about 4 lbs. total, for $14 at Costco. Tenderloin is also a very versatile protein. You can use it like you would pork chops, and… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin in Mushroom Gravy

Secret Ingredient Smothered Pork Chops
You ever run across a recipe in an old cookbook and think, "there's no way that could work"? This happens to me A LOT. I've found Velveeta made into fudge (no way that could work!) and 'impossible' cakes made without eggs (how could that work??). But sometimes, just sometimes, it actually DOES work.

St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
I had my first swig of Guinness this weekend. Can you believe it? I've spent 32 years on this planet with a very Irish name and never had a drop of Guinness. The verdict?

An immersion blender, hand mixer, pizelle maker, egg roll maker, and breakfast sandwich maker. But you know one thing that I don't have? A whisk. Yep. Something as simplistic and necessary as a… Continue reading Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole
Diner-Style Hamburger Steak

These oysters were just about the most buttery, sea-tasting fresh things you could get in Oklahoma. We went to The Drake for a friend's birthday. I ate my… Continue reading Diner-Style Hamburger Steak
Chicken with Apple Chardonnay Gravy
I've been so busy prepping and cooking my way to a successful month of September---Squash September!---that I've neglected to post any recipes this past week. It's not that I don't have anything to post; no, it's quite the opposite...I have too much to write about. Unfortunately, the only things I've been cooking lately are recipes… Continue reading Chicken with Apple Chardonnay Gravy
