it all started with a love for food
Traditionally made by slow-cooking pork in lard, this authentic(ish) recipe uses pork, oranges, limes, and other aromatics and slow cooks them to perfection before crisping them up under the broiler. This recipe has been on my regular rotations for years. It never fails to produce ultra tender, flavourful meat.
Pozole Rojo is all about the toppings. Honestly, it’s my new favourite stew because of the deeply rich (but not too spicy) broth, the tender pork, bright fresh toppings, and crunchy additions like tortilla chips (totopos) and cabbage. It’s amazing!
This Traeger pepperoni pizza made in a baking pan with olive oil results in a crispy, light & airy crust without heating up the house!
This delicious braised pork recipe slow cooks pork shoulder in a roasted tomatillo salsa for a flavourful, almost caramelized shreddable pork perfect for tacos, tostadas, burritos, or taco salad bowls.
This quick minestrone soup is hearty, simple to make, and ready in under 45 minutes, perfect for warming up on chilly days. The recipe was torn out of a calendar from the year I was born and still remains one of my favourite regular soup recipes.
Jambalaya is a dish out of Louisiana and is a play on Spanish paella and french jambalaia. This recipe has been one of my favourites since I was a kid. It’s been modified a lot since then to include more vegetables, but it’s still as delicious as ever. Truly a one pot meal!
