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…

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,…

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….

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…

Food Porn: Bacon Mac and Cheese

Hnnnnggggghhhhhhh… bacon. This is food porn because the recipe for mac and cheese is here and all I did differently was add bacon and frozen peas.  But wait, this bacon for this particular shot is actually a BACON BOWL.  I’m not going to lie, you totally don’t need a Bacon Bowl.  You can do something…

Garlic Bread Pizza: Revisited

The obvious: I’ve been crazy busy lately.  This means I haven’t been posting regularly again.  I’m very sorry. I’m doing my best to get caught up over the next several days.  However, life has just been that busy.  Thanks for putting up with me and my poor little neglected food blog.  Some day I’ll actually…

Chili con Fway

Archaellys’ chili is hands down my favorite chili.  True statement right there.  I’m a lucky girl and for the most part this is pretty healthy AND comforting, so when I’m down Arc has been known to make a batch of chili to cheer me up.  That Arc though… Of course, there are ways to increase…

Taco Night

Ummmm… tacos.  Yes.  I love tacos. I dunno that I actually have to post a recipe for these, but let me know in the comments if you think I should or if you have any specific questions.  There’s so many pieces to assembling tacos like this that maybe I just don’t know where to begin….
