pesto mayo chicken sandwich
This afternoon as we were wandering around Atlanta I got a craving for some fresh bread from Star Provisions. They really do make the best bread – especially the baguette (nicely chewy) and the ciabatta bread. The minute we walked in and I smelled the bread baking, I decided I wanted sandwiches for dinner. Knowing that there were a couple of packages of chicken tenders in... Read More
Chicken Sloppy Joes, Blogging, and Photography
I’ve been having a hard time with blogging lately. Well, you can see that right? Since my last post was three months ago. Time, desire to cook, availability of light – all of them have messed with my mojo. It’s been a tough few months at work as well, as anyone who follows me on Facebook or Twitter knows.

It’s a variation of Rick Bayless’ Minced Pork Tacos... Read More
slow cooked pork loin in beer

But by the time this pork loin came out of the oven, I was so hungry and it was so good … that I didn’t even think of picking up the camera to take a pretty “food porn” photo before I inhaled it! Start with a 1.5 – 2 lb pork loin. ... Read More
crockpot: pork loin & green chile
I love cooking in a crockpot – especially in the winter. It’s wonderful to put something together in the morning before leaving the house and come home to a cooked meal, ready to eat. This recipe is strongly South Western based and is super flexible. Serve it as is as a fantastic one-bowl meal … or use the ingredients (maybe with some black beans added) to make... Read More
