I am always on the hunt for a good recipe. I look high and low for recipes that stand out. It was a little harder to find interesting chili recipes. I think I've made your standard chili recipe hundreds of times. Black bean and sweet potato, verde, white chicken chili, Texas chili among others are [...]

Squash and Lentil Pork Stew
As we here in the United States are influenced by the cultures that live near us, so does the rest of the world. Here in Michigan we have Middle Eastern and Canadian influences. Southwestern US has a lot of great influences from Mexico. This recipe is from New Zealand with influences of Asia. Nancy Heishman posted [...]
Pumpkin Artichoke Ratatouille Pork
Since the summer is winding down, I thought it would be nice to do a recipe that featured some the great vegetables the we have this time of year. I found this recipe for Artichoke Ratatouille Chicken from Judy Armstrong at Taste of Home and it was a near perfect fit. This recipe has plenty [...]
Greek Pork
Is there anyone out there who doesn't like a Greek gyro? If you are going for an authentic Greek taste, you use lamb. However, I'm not able to get a large amount of lamb that is required to make this. I can get lamb, but the cost is outrageous. A couple pounds was nearly 30 [...]
Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Pumpkin-Peach Compote
I have to confess, this week's recipe came out of a necessity to use something up. A while ago, I bought a five pound bag of frozen peaches. At the time, we had a use for them. Fast forward to now, that bag has been sitting in my freezer for months. I've been eating them [...]
Pork Tenderloin Burgers
So I had no idea I would be making burgers out of pork tenderloin this week, but I couldn't help but try it. I ran across a recipe from Taste of Home that used pork tenderloin as the meat in a burger. I never thought to use it that way. The original recipe for Tempting [...]
Slow Cooker Moroccan Pork & Olive Tagine

Most of us do not have one of these laying around, but you can make tagine recipes with what you have at home. What's awesome about these recipes is they are fairly healthy. They contain vegetables and [...]
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Chipotle Pork Tamale Chili
When I ran across the recipe for Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Tamale Chili, I stopped in my tracks. As someone who eats gluten free, tamales are WONDERFUL. In fact a lot of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes are gluten free. These restaurants are some of the few places I'm not stuck with a salad. Not that [...]
An non-standard version of Spanish Paella
I was inspired to try modifying a paella dish recently. I was flipping through my Better Homes and Gardens recipe e-mail and came across their Pork and Butternut Squash Paella. I thought, I love pork and butternut squash and both are healthy to begin with. But I also wanted to challenge myself to use something [...]
A Vitamin A Powerhouse Recipe
With all of the great ingredients I showed you about vitamin A. I decided to come up with a recipe to use them. The only ingredient I did not use was the carrot. This recipe has three times the amount of vitamin A you need in a day. Leftover Vitamin A Ingredient Casserole Print this [...]
