As I was pondering what I would write today, remembering that it is Holy Thursday, my thoughts strayed to the fact that today marks the end of Lent and the beginning of the sacred “Triduum”, the three holiest days of the Christian faith.

Sautéed with onions and garlic, blended smooth then scooped on top of your pork chops! Can I say “Yum”? Continue reading
Rosemary Roasted Chicken Quarters

Chicken quarters are under utilized in my opinion, very economical and just plain good. I like to grill them in the summer and roast them this time of year.
