‘pork’

This zucchini lasagna with pork ragu tastes as if I simmered the sauce for days instead of 20 minutes. This is another recipe that came together using what I had on hand.  Several months ago I bought pork stew meat thinking I’d make some sort of stew in the cold weather.  But now it’s almost summer weather and I decided to grind up the stew...

My friend Jenn from my Weight Watchers meeting was meeting her family downtown and we rode the train down together.  It was nice having company on the train ride in yesterday – made the hour trip go by really fast!  My sister Jenn was home sick yesterday and didn’t listen to my Instagram stories until later in the day, and when she heard “the Biz...

Guys.  You have to make this!!  I haven’t been this happy with a recipe I made on the fly in a while.  Most of the times I recipe develop on the train ride home, I get home, make the recipe as I’ve written it, and then had to tweak it.  Like a lot.  Not this Korean Pork BBQ sauce.   I grilled a pork tenderloin I...

I have to admit, I’ve never really had an authentic banh mi sandwich.  There are a lot of variations around, some have pate and sardines, some use ground pork, but in the end it’s a spicy pork sandwich with pickled veggies and a spicy mayo. Side note:  I don’t like mayo.  When my step-son was little and I asked him one time when he was...

Um, can I just say it’s bullshit that work is getting in the way of me posting my eats on Instagram?!  Hahahaha!   I am kidding . . .a little bit.  The minutes and hours go by so fast.  I’ll have my phone plugged in under my desk and even though it’s on mute, I can hear the vibrations of notifications on my social media, and...

I am so happy to be eating all this Florida citrus.  The only thing better would be to eat it right off the tree in 80 degree weather!  I have to tell you though, before I started working at The Chopping Block, I think I may have massacred  every piece of grapefruit trying to get all the fruit out – that is until I learned...

Yesterday I was up at 7:20. Got my coffee, wrote my blog, did some computer work, when all of a sudden I looked up and it was 9:00 a.m. and I had to leave for WW in 15 minutes.  I chose to wear a hat vs. jumping in the shower (klassy) and was able to make this quick egg white omelet to go before heading...

Since I knew I was having lunch out yesterday morning, I didn’t want to eat too much, but I knew I needed to eat something.  The kidults are big cereal eaters, so I grabbed a bowl of Honey Comb.  Each serving is 1.5 cups and with 1/2 a cup of unsweetened almond milk, breakfast was only 5 points.  Growing up we only had Wheaties or...

I am the firm believer if you have eggs or egg white with any type of protein, it can be considered breakfast food.  Case in point – leftover pulled pork.  Even though it was 8:30 in the morning, it looked so good so I decided to scramble some egg whites, toss in 3 ounces of the pork to heat up, then Pam fry some breakfast...

You aren’t going to believe this, but lyrics to a song I’ve listened to 1,000 times before suddenly smacked me in the face last week.  One of my favorite movies is She’s Having A Baby with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern.   It first introduced me to the singer Kate Bush, and I have some of her music saved to my Spotify lineup. So let me...
