Woo. My whole life is packed up into dozens of boxes right now. I'm eating breakfast off of a paper plate and sipping coffee out of one of the two coffee cups I left out. We don't technically move until August 1st, but my husband and I have spent the last 5 days packing so… Continue reading Smoked Pork Chop & Sweet Potato Bake

Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
You all probably know by now how obsessed I am with pork tenderloin. I've been buying it up in bulk at the grocery store lately because it has been on sale. That's why you've seen so many recipes on here using the delicious cut of pork. I couldn't find any regular, unflavored tenderoin at the… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines
Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
There are a lot of noises coming from inside and outside of my apartment. It's a busy morning in the city. Workers are hard at work building new patios on my neighboring apartments. A table saw buzzes in the distance. Bolo, my frisky Siamese cat, is sitting by the window cleaning his foot. The slurping… Continue reading Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Let's face it: this Memorial Day weekend will not be like any we've had before. Sure, it's the first signal of summer, but kids have been home for the last 3 months. Summer seems like it started in March this year because of the pandemic. Not only that, but you can rule out any large… Continue reading Quarantine Cuisine: 20 Recipes for a Memorial Day in Lockdown
Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
For Christmas, my dad bought me this countertop hydroponic garden that can grow herbs and small vegetables. Knowing me, I thought nothing would grow. I've been known to kill just about every plant I've ever owned. Even a fern. A FERN. Something that's virtually unkillable. So, I followed the instructions and took it with a… Continue reading Pork Chops with Herby Mustard
Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
For Christmas, my dad got me this countertop, hydroponic herb garden. Three months later, I'm overrun with mint and dill. I've been tailoring my recipes over the last two weeks to use up the excess. I'm convinced dill can grow to be as tall as me (and that's 6 foot tall!). It just will not… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Dill Sauce
Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
One of my absolute favorite fast food meals in the world is a bowl from Chipotle. When you're on the go, or in a pinch, nothing can quite satisfy that hunger like a bowl of delicious Mexican food. I use the same toppings everytime, too: grilled peppers and onions, pico, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.… Continue reading Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
Zesty Winter Pork Stew
It's 2020 but here I am still living in 2019. Since I spent months baking and posting holiday recipes, I'm backed up about a dozen of my normal, everyday meals. I've got salads, dinners, soups and snacks. All of the recipes are just waiting on me to post them so the world can see. Once… Continue reading Zesty Winter Pork Stew
Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops
TODAY IS THE DAY. Today is, hopefully, the transition into fall. After two straight weeks of endless sun and 90 degree temperatures, a cold front should blow in later this afternoon/evening. We'll get some storms, sure, but the exciting thing is the temperature dip---I hope. I'm ready to use my oven more. I'm ready to… Continue reading Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops
