I love pork. It roasts so well. Some pork loin came on sale so it was time! The only problem with pork loin is that it is very lean and can dry out. I have found that stuffing the pork with fatty sausage or a moist stuffing can help keep it juicy. I decided to try sausage and apples. Continue reading Apple Sausage Pork Loin
I had posted my Memphis Rib Recipe previously. This is a video of me making them!

I love spareribs and I prefer them St Louis cut. That means the centre rib bone, the back skirt and the end flap are trimmed off to make a neat rectangle of meat. Continue reading Trimming St Louis Ribs
I like mac and cheese. A lot. However, that usually means something in a box to most people. I have nothing against the boxed version but it mostly hooks you in with a lot of salt. Continue reading Adult Ham Mac and Cheese
Before I begin this post, I humbly apologize to every Cuban or person of Cuban heritage. I love this style of cooking but a lot of the ingredients are not available here in the Canadian Rockies. For example I noted some recipes call for a sour orange. Therefore, this is my homage to the style and flavour profile but is in no way authentic Cuban food. If you haven’t had Cuban cuisine, seek it out. It is wonderful! Continue reading Cuban Pork Loin
I like to golf. She Who Must Be Obeyed says I golf too much. Sigh. When I golf, I find myself getting peckish around the 11th hole and I like to have something in my bag. Snack Sticks are the perfect solution. Continue reading Spicy Snack Sticks
I have made maple bacon and I have made Chipotle (ground dried smoked chilies). Both are really good. However, I got an email from my niece telling me how much she enjoyed the Chipotle bacon while I was eating some maple bacon. As usual, my brain had a spasm and I thought the two might be great together. I like the combination of sweet/hot. I had to give it a try. I decided to go with Back (Canadian) Bacon and picked up a pork loin. Continue reading Maple Chipotle Bacon

Sausage Balls are an appetizer that has been around for years. It involves mixing sausage with biscuit mix and baking it. They are very tasty but also very greasy and they mostly taste of sausage. This is my effort to make a less greasy version and to kick up the complexity of the flavours. Continue reading Sausage Balls
