Homemade Breakfast Sausage Patties
I have been trying to make really great homemade breakfast sausage for years now, but without success. Now that I write that sentence, I realize that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in my culinary abilities… Let me explain. My parents made it all the time when I was a kid, but they can’t…

Easy Pulled Pork
There are few foods out there that I love more than meat. Ask my husband! I usually start in the ‘steak’ section of the menu when we eat out. I have a hard time eating a meal that doesn’t include meat in some form or another. I mean I love beef, but…
