Stuffed Chops

I must admit that pork chops are something that I don’t cook quite often. Our latest trip to the grocery store resulted in a purchase of these delicious pork chops. I will say the day that I cooked these pork chops I stared into the refrigerator thinking to myself if I should just cook something else. To my surprise these pork chops came out superb, and I hope you will enjoy these as much as I did.

“Plátano Maduro Con Queso Y Guayaba”

translated into English as “Sweet plantains with Cheese and Guava”. Plantains are eaten all over Colombia and South America, this delicious vegetable is made in many different ways thought the world. “Plátanos asados” make a delicious side dish to a bbq. I was recently introduced to Platanos asados by a friend while having a bbq ever since then I always throw a couple on the grill.

Pineapple coconut cake. Can it really be better then sex?

Better than sex? I don’t think so, but having said that I do find this cake delicious. I will say that we are not the most talented couple when it comes to cooking deserts. We have attempted many deserts which have not come out how we would have wanted. This was our attempt to create something simple and delicious in which would be served during a family of approximately 15 for Easter. After serving this cake to our family I will say that this cake is now going to be a staple for any family gathering.

Wing’n it

Grilled Chicken wings should be a requirement when having an outdoor BBQ with friends or family. When you think of Chicken wings, most people think of unhealthy flower battered, deep fried, oil wing that is smothered with a buttery sauce. Most people don’t eat chicken wings due to those several factors. But look no further with this recipe you will be able to forget about the oil, and butter sauce and truly enjoy these delicious and juicy chicken wings.

Killer Kabobs

Beef shish kabobs, I mean what’s better than having marinated beef and fresh vegetables placed on the grill and BBQ’d to perfection? This is the ultimate cookout treat which you can easily make for your friends and family. After trying this recipe I don’t think you will ever try another recipe again. First things first, the meat, what meat do you use for a beef kabob? To make things simple, I will give you the two most common cuts of meat used for making kabobs, “top round” or “top sirloin”.

Packs a pinch

This is a spice rub that I have been using for a few years now in which it has taken a permanent residence inside my spice cabinet. Often times I have made this spice rub and given it away to other friends/family for their personal use. This is a spice rub that was actually found by my wife while she cooked a surprise Bobby Flay dinner for me. Ever since that time we have used this spice rub on just about everything that goes onto the BBQ grill. I personally really enjoy using this spice rub on my secret recipe ribs, as well as my grilled chicken wings. This rub has a very mild spicy smokey flavored punch, which goes well with the ribs and chicken.

How to cut a pineapple

Pineapple – native to Paraguay and the southern part of Brazil. Pineapple is eaten fresh or canned and is available as a juice or in juice combination’s. It is used in desserts, salads, as a complement to meat dishes and in fruit cocktail. While sweet, it is known for its high acid content (perhaps malic and/or citric). Pineapples are the only bromeliad fruit in widespread cultivation. It is one of the most commercially important plants which carry out CAM photosynthesis.

Chocolate Truffle Tart

So here it is, this is our first recipe for creating our website. This was an after thought in regards to documenting the process. But I will say that this tart is delicious, and really help peak our interest in continuing our love for food and further documenting our trials and failures.  Back to the Tart, getting back to wanting to start a food blog we really wanted to start of with something nice. Our downfall is that we really didn’t know the process of cooking and photographing process. Now if you thought cooking was a time consuming process, try taking 30 pictures in-between each stage in an attempt to get that perfect picture to place on your blog. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as well as the other recipes to follow.
