Missing Recipe: Char Siu Marinade

A while back I posted about making Char Siu but I had lost the marinade recipe.  I lost it so hard that I can’t even find the original recipe online that I modified.  So I had to test again and I have a new one.  I’m testing the sauce today with pieces of pork butt, rather…

Copycat Secret Sauce

Arc just recently introduced me to the magical world of homemade Big Macs.  Dear lawdy pearl it’s been a loooooong time since I’ve had one of those.  I’ve really been making a effort to duplicate things at home rather than buying them because then at least I know exactly what I’m eating, even if it…

Fresh Garden Salsa

Over the summer at the Rumpus Room, Archaellys and I grew a few tomato plants and they seemed to ripen all at the same time.  What do you do with a metric asston of tomates?  Make salsa, of course! Now my only thing is that you really need to taste test as you go because…

Homemade Gluten Free Onion Rings

I love onion rings because they’re amazing.  What I don’t love is that stuffed up gluteny feel after pigging out on gluteny things.  So I found an awesome way to make onion rings myself and now the bad thing is I want to batter everything in this and fry it.  Total new problem.  Siiiiiiiiiigh.  But…

Pizza Quinoa

I came across a recipe for a one-pot pizza quinoa and just kind of went from there. Totally random, thought it sounded good, but could see where I could change a few things.  What happened was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.  OMG.  Yes.  And it was easy to make and pretty good for you.  Totally would recommend!  Duh,…

Snarfy’s Easy Brownies

I had a hankering for some brownies.  I couldn’t help it.  I need to get back on the gluten free/reduced gluten train, but… but… brownies.  Sorry the image is a little dark, but I got through eating most of the brownies I had dished up before I remembered to take a picture and by that…

Kalua Pig

So… yeah… Kalua Pig.  Do I really need to say much more than it’s FREAKING AMAZING!?!  Imma just hop right into the recipe here, guys.  This is an easy one, and you don’t even need to build an imu in your backyard to roast that pig. Kalua Pig (in an oven) 1 5-7 pound pork…

Parmesan Risotto

Holy crap it’s been a while since I’ve posted in here.  I’m really sorry guys.  I’m even sorry that it’s like a never ending apology show below the actual recipes and food posts that go up in here.  There has been quite a bit going on though… First is that my job has been crazy….

Ghetto Cobbler

My aunt taught me how to make this and of course she didn’t call it Ghetto Cobbler.  She calls it Cherry Delight.  I made it for my co-workers at my former job once though and they kept calling it a cobbler.  Once they found out how I make it, they changed their name a little…

Juicy Papa Cake

I have no idea what I originally called this cake.  I do, however, remember how we started calling it “Juicy Papa” cake.  It’s a rather long inside joke though, so I’ll save you from that.  Just adopt and accept it.  Make it your own.  Just know that this is a stupid easy cake to make and…

Chicken Teriyaki

Still catching up, folks.  Still catching up.  Sorry about that.  I’ll get caught up eventually. A while back though, I made Chicken Teriyaki for a movie night dinner.  I wanted to make my own teriyaki sauce because a lot of the pre-bottled stuff is too salty for my liking or it just plain tastes funny….

Food Porn: Sausage Fest

Arc and I ended up revisiting a little bangers and mash, but for this movie night extravaganza, we used sausage as the theme.  Because we were watching the Super Mario Bros movie, we needed mushrooms in some form or another.  These criminis are stuffed with a mix of regular pork sausage, onions, and cheese.  Cook…
