What’s to Love About National Leftover Day?
The 4th Friday of November is National Leftover Day! Hallelujah! It’s the day after, the guests are gone, and the leftovers are delectable! Of course, you have refrigerated everything you can. I don’t enjoy reheated meat – it just tastes odd to me. So, the meat goes into the oven to be warmed just above room temperature. There’s lots of stuffing & cranberry sauce leftover. Mashed potatoes – no...

How to Cook Cherry Tea Braised Pork Loin + Video
This Cherry Tea Braised Pork Loin Roast is such a treat to your senses. Braising meats really keeps everything moist and juicy as they roast.

Pork roasts tend to shrink considerably, especially when cooking with only dry heat methods. Using the braising method really retains a lot of that...
Handy Uses for Bologna: National Bologna Day
Although it’s National Bologna Day in the USA, this food item originates from Bologna, Italy. Another food you may recognize from Bologna is Pasta Bolognese. Made of finely ground pork and lard, and more alternately made with chicken, turkey, beef or venison, bologna has a distinct flavor when it comes to deli meat, similar to that of Mortadella. When I was a child, my very favorite sandwich to have in my lunch box was bologna...
National Yorkshire Pudding Day: A Coveted Side Dish Recipe
National Yorkshire Pudding Day is definitely something to celebrate. Yorkies, so we call them are the best thing about a roast beef dinner. We enjoy those light & fluffy, little puddings smothered in roast drippings. We like Yorkshire pudding so much that sometimes, I’ve used turkey, chicken or pork drippings in place of beef drippings. My family has always liked this recipe, and comments that other Yorkshire puddings they...

How to Bake Shepherd’s Pie from Scratch

Web Chef Review: Central Market – Dallas Preston Royal

The store is filled with fantastic & “obscure”, mom...
