Ginger Marinated Flank Steak
Recipes posted a year ago: Garlic-Roasted Asparagus & Mushrooms Paprika & Clove Rubbed Pork Chops This recipe uses a long marinade to help tenderize the long, tough fibers that are found in flank steak, and to add moisture that is otherwise lacking due to the leanness of this cut of meat. The marinade is, however, … Continue reading Ginger Marinated Flank Steak

Pork Chops with Grilled Plums and Sweet Onions
Recipes posted a year ago: Mulled Apple Pudding Asian Spiced Pork Chops Burger-Stuffed Squash This recipe for grilled chops and plums I got from Sunset Magazine and modified it somewhat.

Adjusting to this new work schedule has also been cause for a few … Continue reading Pesto Grilled Chicken
