Cajun Pork Chops
My family loves these spicy, fried pork chops. Quick and easy to make! I've used bone-in pork steaks instead, and just increased cooking time per side a couple of minutes
Barbecued Beef Sandwiches
This recipe came from a military wife almost 30 years ago (thanks Elise) and it couldn't be much easier. Simply combine all ingredients and cook for 3 hours, then shred the meat. Serve it on buns of your choice...and then sit back and take in the compliments! Everyone loves this recipe, and I've used it at fund raising events with great success! Excellent with potato salad or coleslaw.
Beet and Goat Cheese Ravioli
These beet and goat cheese ravioli are a labor of love and create a stunning presentation. A pasta maker helps roll the dough as thin as possible, letting the vibrant filling shine through. If whole wheat pasta isn't your preference, you can easily swap it for all-purpose.
