Breakfast Casserole with Sausage and Spinach

November 9, 2011

I love to cook with my mom. Whenever we spend time together, half of it is spent in the kitchen. We were cooking together this past weekend and she said, “Isn’t it fun to cook with other people?” I said yes almost without thinking, but then after taking a moment to think about it, I [...]

Emeril’s One Pot Cooking Party: Stir-Fried Pork Salad

September 22, 2011

So…here I go again changing Emeril’s recipes. I do not think I am a better or more knowledgeable chef than Emeril Lagasse. In fact, that idea is laughable. I just know what my husband and I like. This is the fifth installment of the Emeril series–here are parts 1, 2, 3 and 4. This recipe started off as Wok-Seared [...]

Herb and Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

April 20, 2011

Me (menu planning): “I’m going to make pork chops.” Hubby: “I don’t really like pork chops, I’d rather eat pulled pork.” Me: ”Oh. I think I’m going to make them anyway.
