Lechon Asado on the Big Green Egg
Pork
I absolutely love Cuban sandwiches. In fact, whenever I go out to eat, if there is a Cuban sandwich on the menu I have to order it… EVERY TIME. That has presented a problem for me since relocating to Gulfport, Florida this winter as Tampa is where this sandwich was created and everyone has their […]
Grilled Kurobuta Pork Chops with a Fig Jam Glaze
Pork, Sauces + Sides
If you are like me, you love a good cheese and charcuterie board. The problem is, I often have 3 to 4 half used jars of fig jam in the fridge as I can never remember if we have some when I am out buying meats and cheeses for the board. Planning a glaze for […]

Twist’d Q Blackened Pork Chops with Mango Salsa
Pork
When my friends at Twist’d Q sent me some of their new TQ Singles to try, I knew which one I wanted to try first -The Fire Roastin’ Cajun Seasoning! I love the flavors of cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic and onion seared in to a nice protein. Having the convenience of a pre-measured pack that […]
Homemade Smoked Chorizo Sausage
Pork
All good things come to those who wait… at least that’s how the saying goes. Two years ago, I got a great book for Christmas Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing. And for two years it has sat on my shelf waiting for me to crack it open. This weekend it was time to […]
