Maple Mustard Crown Roast of Pork We wanted to do something different and extra special for one of our Holiday dinners. Patti loved the idea of a crown roast of pork; Ken loved the frilly gold crowns on the frenched pork bones. We’ve mentioned many times the lovely folks we meet at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. Well, a delightful family named Allee including their precious…
Guest Chef G's ROASTED BABY ARTICHOKES I recently saw packaged baby artichokes in the grocery store and decided to try them. I'd never eaten or cooked them before, so this was a perfect opportunity to learn something new. The verdict: I LOVE THEM!

Bacon Candy Bacon Candy! This stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! For a special treat think about this. Bacon Candy is so simple to make, only 3 ingredients.

She seasoned it just right with Swimmin’ in Smoke Chik Bait Seasoning. Colonel eat your heart…

We used some of…

They were simple with the help of Bisquick baking mix and the addition of…
Teriyaki Salmon Burgers With the New Year we’re all trying to eat healthier. Fish is always a healthful choice and though we may be giving up some fat, giving up lots of flavor is never an option. Ken loves teriyaki and Patti perked it up with red pepper flakes. We served this on a hamburger bun with low fat mayo mixed with some of the…
