What can I say? I have a thing for pulled pork. It is easy to make and always full of flavor. I found this recipe while looking for a way to use up a pork shoulder in the freezer. Basically it is a pork shoulder and a bottle of root beer slow cooked all day. [...]

Goulash
I don’t know about your mother, but this is not my mother’s goulash. Goulash at home consisted of No Yolk egg noodles, ground beef, tomato sauce, and maybe a vegetable like peas or corn and some onion. That was it.
This goulash recipe from Smitten Kitchen and Gourmet magazine might involve more ingredients and more work, [...]
Pound Cake
If you are looking for the opposite of a healthy food, then this cake is for you. Apparently the pound in “pound cake” refers to the butter. I think I knew that but it is still surprising when you actually make it. This cake is far better than any pound cake you can buy in [...]
Alfredo Sauce
I’m normally a red sauce girl, but I’ve wanting to make Alfredo sauce at home for awhile a now. I found this simple recipe from Cooking Light and had all the ingredients, so I finally went for it.
I cooked the sauce longer than the recipe suggested because the cheese wasn’t melting. Then I was concerned that the [...]
Israeli Cauliflower with Panko
I realize this recipe won’t be the most popular recipe on OFE, what with it involving vegetables and all, but I do think this is a winning side dish. Try thinking less about the cauliflower and more about the crunchy, salty bread crumbs!
This was really easy to put together. The cauliflower gets cooked in the [...]

Everybody brings one dozen cookies for each person in attendance and then gets to go home with a dozen cookies from each person. So, on Saturday, I’m bringing five dozen sugar cookies to exchange for five dozen different [...]
Hamburgers
Somewhere along the way, hamburgers became fast food items. It is true, they are quick and easy to make, but why go to some chain fast food restaurant for a burger when you can put something together that is uniquely yours in about fifteen minutes?
My case and point: this burger. I like spicy food. You [...]
Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup
For whatever reason I have been on a soup kick lately. I think it is the fact that it is getting cooler out now and I am looking for something warm and filling. This soup is exactly that. It took about 90 minutes to make including all the chopping. If you have that much time [...]
Banana Bran Muffins
I’m not sure what possessed me to make these Banana Bran Muffins. I really like banana bread, and I already had buttermilk in the refrigerator, but in the end I think it’s just that I’m nuts for baking.
For being a healthy recipe, these muffins are quite tasty. They baked up big and moist, not dry [...]
