St. Louis Style BBQ Ribs on the Grill
It’s a fingers only meat buffet at Real Food Girl: Unmodified today! We’re grilling Ribs! As far as I’m concerned, ribs could easily be categorized as one of the really good things about life. Whether they’re baby back, St. Louis, Country Style or beef ribs, they are just darn tasty. I love that you don’t need silverware and it’s acceptable to get stupid-messy while eating them. I just plain love good BBQ ribs. Don’t you? We’re either not exploring enough or we’re looking in the wrong places here in SC, because we’ve yet to find one BBQ joint that we want to “write home” about. We were told about this one place that we…

30-Minute Mondays– Pan Fried Pork Milanese
Pan. Fried. Pork. I could leave it at that, post few photos and you’d be salivating while you run to the freezer to see if you have any pork chops you can thaw out. Is there anything better than breaded, pan-fried pork that’s been pounded thin and seasoned just perfectly? Probably, but at the moment I can’t think of anything better. 30-Minute Monday almost didn’t happen this week. Some poor planning on my part left us without the ingredients to make the next dish I had on my list. The recipe, from start to finish took me a wee bit over 30 minutes because I had 8 pork chops to fry (they were…

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…

Pan Seared Pork Chops with Mustard Cream Sauce- (Organic/GMO-Free)
Isn’t that a beautiful thing? I must say that a properly seared pork chop brings tears of happiness to my eyes. If you’re a child of the 60s or 70s you probably ate your fair share of pork chops that were dry as saw dust because back then our folks were told to cook pork until bone dry and then cook it some more. That way, when you cut into it, you’ll start a small fire and you’ll know it’s safe to eat. Thankfully times have changed and we don’t have to torture ourselves with dried-up pork chops that resemble a leather flip flop. If you have a meat loving male in…

Mini Italian Meatloaves (GMO-Free)
I married a meat lover. The Stud Muffin (TSM) not only just loves meat, he lurves it. He lurves meat like Tammy Faye loves mascara. He lurves meat like Kristen Stewart loves to remain expressionless no matter what’s going on around her. TSM also loves a good meat and potatoes dinner and all but cries if he’s asked to eat a vegetable other than peas or carrots. He probably won’t like that I’ve shared that with you, and since this is my blog there may have been a little creative licensing exaggerating about the crying when made to eat veggies. Early on in our marriage I was at a loss for creative meal…
