Today is the 31st anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. That has absolutely nothing to do with this recipe whatsoever, but just thought I would share 🙂 Here in the Pacific NW it is a big deal to ask, "where were you when the mountain blew?" Well, according to my mom, I was in … Continue reading Brazilian Chicken Curry

Orange Ginger Marinated Pork “Ribs”
Country-style "ribs" on a hog are actually a cut coming from the loin just behind the blade portion of the shoulder, which is referred to as the "butt" (as in a Boston Butt roast). Apparently, whoever named the cuts of meat on a hog wasn't very inept at basic swine anatomy...but that's not a topic for this site. … Continue reading Orange Ginger Marinated Pork “Ribs”
Basil Chicken & Rice Soup
*A quick note as Casey doesn't give this recipe enough justice.. From all the things we have made, this is definitely in our top 10. Try it VERY soon as it will definitely be worth it! Feeling like some good ol' chicken soup, but with a little Cantonese and Thai influence? Playing around with a clipped … Continue reading Basil Chicken & Rice Soup
Ginger-Hoisin Cedar Planked Salmon
After nearly two weeks on vacation - including a 4-day drive down to Arizona with stops in Las Vegas (we didn't gamble a dime), the Hoover Dam (and the new Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tilman Memorial Bridge), the Grand Canyon, and a week in Scottsdale - we are back home. We got to experience both unseasonably warm (it … Continue reading Ginger-Hoisin Cedar Planked Salmon
Lemon Tajine
The company Karen works for had their Christmas party this past year at a Moroccan restaurant, which was an entirely new experience for the two of us. Admittedly, there are more than a few ingredients and foods on the traditional Moroccan menu that are definitely not what we would normally eat. However, for a first-time-ever-trying-this … Continue reading Lemon Tajine
Grandpa Don’s Bugachi (Teriyaki Beef Skewers)
Just over a week ago, Karen posted a recipe that started out with a small tribute to a great man who I never got the chance to meet...but I still feel blessed to experience his presence every time we have a gathering with her family. Her Grandpa Don's legacy lives on in some way with … Continue reading Grandpa Don’s Bugachi (Teriyaki Beef Skewers)
Pork & Noodle Stir Fry
While the name of this one may sound a bit similar to the Turkey Noodle Stir Fry we did not that long ago, the recipe itself shares only the use of spaghetti squash for noodles, and a few common veggies. Otherwise, it is a whole new recipe that works great as a one-dish meal or … Continue reading Pork & Noodle Stir Fry
Ginger and Nutmeg Sweet Potatoes
Here's a nice variation to your sweet potatoes. This would be great to have as a side to your eggs in the morning, a side to your dinner, or save some for a rejuvenating post-workout snack. Although eating primal now, we don't separate meals too much anymore and label one as "breakfast" or "dinner" as we find dinner foods … Continue reading Ginger and Nutmeg Sweet Potatoes
Turkey Noodle Stir Fry
Usually, when you glance through your typical Asian restaurant menu, most dishes come with either noodles or rice...and all too often if you ask for them to "hold the noodles," you end up with a meal that is about half the size it should be (because those noodles are a cheap filler), but for the … Continue reading Turkey Noodle Stir Fry
Fresh Mango Chutney
We've done a few similar recipes on this site already, including the melon pineapple salsa, the mango salsa, and even the recent pork chops with warmed mango chutney. Where this one departs from the first two is the exclusion of any hot chiles (and obviously no pineapple or melon either). The differences with the latter … Continue reading Fresh Mango Chutney
