KKF Bolognese Sauce

Test subject Bill asked for Bolognese sauce last week. It’s always nice to get a request…and then NAIL IT. This sauce was a thing of beauty. I recommend serving it over homemade pasta for best results! Note: a good Bolognese takes time. Don’t rush it, and you will be rewarded.

Sausage & Peppers with Hash Browns

I am lucky enough to have a wonderful friendly neighborhood farmer who occasionally offers to his inner circle fine items he makes from his pastured meats like bacon, bratwurst and sausage. Recently I got a few pounds of an amazing somewhat hot Italian sausage that he made. At the same time, I ended up inContinue reading “Sausage & Peppers with Hash Browns”

Brisket Insanity

So for all the recipes I try and food that I make at home, you would think that I’d done a brisket before. Nope. Not a single brisket had ever graced my freezer, refrigerator or oven…until today. Now all I can think about it how do I get me another one. I emailed my farmerContinue reading “Brisket Insanity”

KKF Eggplant: Unrolled!

Well, it happened again. I set out to follow a recipe and end up doing my own thing. I may never know how an original recipe actually tastes. Inspired by an Eggplant Roll recipe and this marinara recipe, I came up with the following Eggplant lasagna, or non- rollatini. Rolls would have been cool, butContinue reading “KKF Eggplant: Unrolled!”

Pork Belly Euphoria

Pork belly. Also known as pork side or middlen. The most treasured part of any hog purchase because it is used to MAKE BACON. But every now and then you have to try something new. At a recent visit to Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta I had the fried pork belly appetizer with sorghum glaze. UH.MAZE.ING. IContinue reading “Pork Belly Euphoria”

Sweet n’ Sour Pork Balls

Test subject Bill loves pork, so I’m always looking for new ways to make pork. He also has a tough time swallowing ground beef because of the gristle/connective tissue that’s often a part of beef…but not so much with pork! So ground pork is the convenience food of choice in our house. I was inspiredContinue reading “Sweet n’ Sour Pork Balls”

Independence Day Egg Bash Part II

In my opinion, grilling comes down to a) quality meats and b) proper technique. Although I still consider myself a real beginner at grilling, I am noticing that when I do the least I’m getting the best results. For example, the burgers I grilled today. Ground beef and a homemade rub. That’s it. Granted, theContinue reading “Independence Day Egg Bash Part II”

Independence Day Egg Bash

Grilling out is a sign of independence. Humans. Fire. Meat. Electricity optional. Maybe that’s why it’s so popular to have a cookout on the 4th of July. Maybe it’s because this style of cooking was very popular during the early years of the USA, as it’s easy to feed a large crowd. Whatever the reason,Continue reading “Independence Day Egg Bash”

A Million Ways to Cook with an Egg

When you buy a Big Green Egg, it’s kind of like joining a cult. People who own a Green Egg (or “Eggheads”) become fanatical, notice other Eggheads when they drive or walk by their house, and dancing or jumping ensues just from seeing someone else’s Egg. This month, I joined the Egg Cult. The firstContinue reading “A Million Ways to Cook with an Egg”
