30-Minute Monday- Speedy Pork Pozole
Today’s recipe is really yummy. There is something about a rich, spicy, pork and hominy stew to get the taste buds revved up and bring a smile to my face. I typically make this dish over several hours in a Dutch oven and I buy some red chiles and make a sauce with them to enhance the flavor of this stew, but in this rendition, we’re short on time, so a few teaspoons of adobo sauce from a can of Chipotle chiles will have to do. This is one of the first 30-Minute Monday meals that TSM (The Stud Muffin) did not like. At all. He’s not a big soup/stew guy and apparently…

Real & Simple Homemade Pizza
Pizza night! Who doesn’t look forward to homemade pizza night? I know we sure do. Once I got over my aversion to making my own organic fail-proof pizza dough, I started playing around with sauces and toppings and after years of experimenting, this is our family favorite and I’m excited to share it with you. Shortly after starting my blog I shared my homemade Stromboli recipe. In that post I share my pizza sauce recipe. I’ve since tweaked it slightly, and will share the ingredients in the recipe card below. Our favorite toppings are a Calabrase Salame, fresh mozzarella and when we’re feeling particularly fancy, I’ll add some prosciutto. What are your favorite…

How To Make Black Beans- So You Don’t Have to Buy Canned
This post has bean a long time coming. <— Ha! See what I did there? All puns aside, I love dried beans and they are so easy to prepare. I do enjoy the convenience of canned beans and there are some decent organic brands out there, yet there is something to be said about preparing them from scratch. I’ve been trying to use fewer canned items and because they are cheap and basically low maintenance in the preparation department. I thought I’d share with you how to make your own beans so that you can use them in other dishes such as my Skillet Tamale Pie or you can add them to my…

30-Minute Monday- Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Mustard Sauce
Welcome back to another fantastic 30-Minute Monday! I’m seriously enjoying this series and I hope that you are, too. The Stud Muffin (TSM) has enjoyed trying new recipes, and I’ve enjoyed the extra time I’ve had because dinner isn’t taking as long to prepare. It’s a win-win for everyone! The first time I made this dish I set off three smoke detectors in the house. The second time I made this dish I did NOT use the amount of fat called for to pan sear the tenderloins which helped exponentially to reduce the amount of “smoke” coming from my oven. I was also able to open some windows, just in case. Thankfully, no…
