A food blog for the rest of us
I am a huge fan of pulled pork. It’s really one of my favorite foods. Whenever I go get barbecue, it’s always what I order. But, you can make pretty good slow cooker pulled pork at home.
Now, it’s not going to have that delicious smoke ring, or that crusty edge that’s sooo good, but this is great for a Game Day gathering, or any ol’ evening at home.

I am a huge fan of cole slaw. I love just about any kind or any version. In the past few years, cole slaw has branched out from the traditional cabbage based salad into other veggies. This low carb, keto friendly broccoli slaw is a perfect example.
This recipe is super quick and easy to make, and is a great addition to any meal. It’s even delicious if you’re not eating in the keto or low carb lifestyle.

Spicy buffalo chicken seems to be a favorite of so many. It’s an easy way to dress up what can otherwise be plain, boring, and bland chicken. This slow cooker shredded spicy buffalo chicken dip is super easy, and sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Artichoke dip seems to be a staple of any kind of gathering. There’s a reason for that – it’s delicious! There’s just something about it that is oh so satisfying. Artichoke dip seems to have that perfect ratio of cheesy goodness and saltiness to richness, and a little bit of that “Oh, I shouldn’t eat this but it’s so good!” feeling.
The good news is that this crockpot Four Cheese Artichoke Dip is oh so easy to make. You can practically toss the ingredients in a slow cooker and forget about it. It’s truly that easy to make.

Shrimp always seems like a special occasion food to me. I’m not sure why. Perhaps it’s because shrimp was expensive when I was a kid, so we only had it on special occasions. Or only when we went out to eat. Whatever the reason, this Warm Garlic Parmesan Shrimp with Roasted Garlic Dip is a luxurious appetizer that feels really special.
There’s a secret, though. It’s so easy to make. This Warm Garlic Parmesan Shrimp with Roasted Garlic Dip involves almost no active prep time, and very little active cooking time.

New Year’s Eve is a time for celebration. We celebrate the old, and ring in the new with a renewed excitement and energy, What could be coming ahead? It’s also a time that we tend to indulge, and a French 75 is perfect for that. Perhaps we indulge a little more than we should, but hey. The new year only comes around once a year, after all.
We’re ringing in the new year with a twist on the classic French 75 cocktail. I was first introduced to this classic drink on a trip to New Orleans. I was totally unfamiliar with the drink, but I quickly understood why it has stood the test of time. While many French 75 recipes call for gin, the original was made with cognac. Cognac adds a much deeper, richer flavor, and, let’s be honest, is a little fancier.

Sooooo…you think you’re interested in giving this salad gardening a try. Maybe you don’t have a lot of space outside for a garden, or you’re not that interested in digging up a big chunk of your lawn. Don’t worry! You don’t have to. To grow lettuce, you don’t need a lot of space or soil. Best of all, you can do it on your deck or patio, or inside on your kitchen counter or in a sunny window.
The nice thing about lettuce is that most varieties grow fairly fast. Lettuce also tends to grow well in moderate temperatures. Like those temperatures that most of us keep our homes at. As long as you find a nice sunny spot for your lettuce, it should do fairly well.
