So I was watching Diner’s Drive-Ins and Dives (funny, but a lot of my conversations start out like this) and I saw the most amazing looking food from Tiki Iniki a restaurant in Princeton, Hawaii on their episode International Infusion. They featured their Sweet Sticky Sweet Ribs, and I had to ask myself, “Am I a Sticky Sweet Ribs person?” I was soon to find out, although the recipe I made isn’t the same as the ribs at Tiki Iniki, it’s definitely adapted from their recipe – think of this recipe as a “fabulously frugalized” version of their ribs.
Spicy Jerk Ribs with Sweet Chutney Glaze
There’s no doubt summer is here, even in Minnesota, where for the most part it’s been cool. And there’s no doubt Father’s day is just around the corner, too, this Sunday! Father’s Day always makes me think about being outside, maybe barbecuing, and barbecuing makes me think about ribs. If you’re looking for something different, take a peek at these Spicy Jerk Ribs with Sweet Chutney Glaze.
Grilled Hawaiian Pineapple Pork Chops
Ok, so I hate January. And February. And I’m not too wild about March, either. That’s because I live up Nord in Minnesota, you betcha, and while December is kind of exciting, by the time January rolls around, I’m just about done with it! But you know what I love about January? Pineapples! You heard me right! And I now love these Grilled Hawaiian Pineapple Pork Chops.
Almost Bon Appetit’s Dry Rubbed Turkey
I know I probably should have had this post out weeks before Thanksgiving, but better late than never, right? Anyway, I figure a lot of you must have Turkey for Christmas, too, or you can pin it for next year. And what a turkey this Almost Bon Appetit’s Dry Rubbed Turkey is! The “Almost” is because I’ve changed it up, just a bit. Find the original recipe here on Bon Appétit’s site; they have several dry-brined turkey recipes.
Lighter Mongolian Beef
When I decided to make my Lighter Mongolian Beef, I wanted to look a little into the history of Mongolian Beef. I knew it wasn’t an authentic “Mongolian” dish, but it seems Mongolian Beef was created in Taiwan, so that’s a twist!
