I was looking for a quick dinner tonight using a pound of ground pork I had thawed. I just mixed a few things up into this meat, formed patties and seared them off until done. Man, oh, man, were they ever tasty! Hubby really liked them, too! I picked the right two spices for these [...]

Mushroom Barley Soup
Posted in Beef, MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage, Soups, Stews on March 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
We used to enjoy the most wonderful mushroom barley soup at a wonderful restaurant in Houston called Alfred’s Delicatessen. Not sure if it’s still in operation or not, as I’ve been gone from the area for over 10 years now. This soup, bar none, was THE best mushroom soup I’ve ever eaten!! I don’t know [...]
Sausage Tarragon Cream on Toast
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, MAIN DISHES, Other Breakfast, Pork, Ham, Sausage on March 15, 2012 | 4 Comments »
This dish evolved from my Eggs with Tarragon Cream recipe and the addition of some sausage. It is Induction friendly and a tasty change of pace for breakfast when you just don’t feel like eggs. This dish is also good as a lunch or evening meal served alongside a lovely green salad. INGREDIENTS: 1 Revolution [...]
Italian Cottage Pie

My husband just loves casseroles and I finally got around to converting my Cottage Pie recipe of old to make it acceptable for my low-carb eating program. And since I love mixing meats in casseroles, I decided to do this tonight with both beef and a little of my homemade Italian Sausage in it: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/italian-sausage/.

Rosemary Pork “Picnic” Shoulder Roast
Posted in Lamb, MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on December 22, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Pork Picnic is very moist and flavorful roasted. My local grocery store had them on sale this week for $1.00 per pound!! I stocked my freezer up, as after pork tenderloin, this is my favorite cut of pork. Much more tender and moist than loin in my opinion. This spice combo is my favorite for [...]
Sausage Calabacita Casserole
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on November 20, 2011 | 9 Comments »
I bought some lovely calaba squash this week and wanted to make a casserole incorporating them. So I decided to just make my regular Calabacita recipe, doubling the bacon and adding 1/3 lb. pork sausage and it came out delicious. I think you’ll find the flavors in this dish quite exciting. If you are [...]
Pork Squash Casserole
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on October 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I had some lovely yellow squash and decided to try another casserole of mine with a new meat. So this was my dinner tonight. It’s basically my Ham-Squash Casserole, but I dropped the smoked ham and used diced, lean pork loin instead. It came out real good and there’s not a single bite leftover. [...]
Asian Pork and Cabbage
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on September 30, 2011 | 4 Comments »
This is a really quick dish you can put together in under 30 minutes. I originally thawed ground pork to make pork egg rolls, but couldn’t get enough large cabbage leaves off my head of cabbage to pull that off tonight. So I made a last minute menu change and did this dish instead. It [...]
Zucchini Pesto Quiche
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on September 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I found a new pesto sauce recently and wanted to try it out in a recipe tonight. It is Sundried Tomato Pesto Italian Pasta Sauce by Santini (imported). It’s made of sundried tomatoes, parmesan, basil, garlic, cashew and pine nuts and red pepper flakes pureed with a dab of olive oil. So you could [...]
Pork in Portobello Cream
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on September 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I absolutely love pork braised in any type of sauce, the creamier the better. A splash of white wine can be added to this if you are in OWL, but if still in Induction, skip the wine. This dish takes about 15 minutes to throw into the oven and it is done in about 45 [...]
Peggy’s Breakfast Sausage
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, MAIN DISHES, Other Breakfast, Pork, Ham, Sausage on August 7, 2011 | 12 Comments »
Went to the store today and bought 3# of ground pork to make up a batch of my homemade breakfast sausage. The commercial not only is getting pricey these days, but it invariably has more sugar, sodium and seasoning than I like. I used to make my own years ago and kind of got away [...]
Pork with Eggplant
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on August 4, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I made a delightfully flavorful lunch today with a small piece of a leftover pork chop from dinner last night. I would have preferred red bell pepper in this, for visual impact. But yellow is what I have on hand today and such is life. I find little difference in flavor in the two. If [...]
Asian Pork & Lotus Root Soup
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage, Soups, Stews on July 21, 2011 | 2 Comments »
If you’ve never eaten or cooked lotus root, this is a fun, starchy vegetable. It is the wagon-wheel shaped item in the picture. The stem of the lotus pond plant has hollow channels so that when peeled and sliced crosswise, it produces this interesting result. It’s texture is somewhat similar to water chestnut, but when [...]
Chicken Pesto Sun-Dried Tomato Pizza
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage, Poultry on June 24, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Click pic to enlarge This was inspired by a recipe I read on the net for a pasta dish made with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. Thought that mixture might make a good pizza and IT DID! The chicken just made it better! In future, would prefer to use Josephs Flax and Oat Bran Pitas for [...]

Click pic to enlarge We had pork chops for dinner tonight and I wanted something nice to have with them besides the fresh steamed broccoli I was planning. I grabbed a Japanese eggplant in the refrigerator. Sitting right beside it was my jar of freshly made pesto sauce and thawed spaghetti sauce for tomorrow night. [...]

Click pic to enlarge This is a delightfully exotic spice blend for beef, lamb, pork, fish or chicken. The meat can be either baked or grilled over charcoal for an even better flavor. This is an Induction friendly recipe. INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. chicken breasts or thighs, deboned 3 T. olive oil 1 T. Moroccan spice [...]
Roast Pork with Rosemary & Onion
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on May 21, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Click pic to enlarge Sometimes the simplest recipe is both tastiest and easiest. Who says cooking has to be complicated or fancy to be GOOD?! No matter how long I live, no matter how many pork recipes I find and try, I keep coming back to this very simple recipe. It’s the onion powder that [...]
Italian Braised Pork Loin
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on April 18, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Click pic to enlarge I wanted to do something different with my pork loin tonight and this new dish was a pleasant surprise. It’s basically the sauce for classic Chicken Cacciatore, with the addition of bacon and changing the meat to pork. Both my husband and I really liked it. As you might guess, the [...]
Beef-Spinach Casserole
Posted in Beef, Lamb, MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on January 29, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Click pic to enlarge Who knew a few leftovers could be so good and have so many nutrients (see below!)? This dish is Induction friendly and goes together in less than 30 minutes! I think this would also be good with lamb topped with feta cheese instead; or done with pork topped with cheddar. INGREDIENTS: [...]
Mexican Stewed Pork
Posted in MAIN DISHES, Pork, Ham, Sausage on December 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I concocted this Induction friendly dish tonight and it was quite delish! It gives a little tingle on your tongue from spice, but I would by no means call this dish hot! Guajillo chiles are barely hot at all actually. They are sold dried in bags at your local grocery store’s produce or latino foods [...]
