Orange Glazed Carrots
This is a favorite side around here. We just love it beyond what words could describe. It is super easy to make and is also really quick for those nights when you need to throw something together for the family or to impress unexpected guests. I ALWAYS keep several cans of carrots on hand just [...]
Strawberry Bread
When I make this bread it gets really quiet around my house. That means I make it often! Quiet around this place is SACRED! Usually there is a dull roar. But a roar none-the-less. And at times it is louder around here than a rock concert. So if I make something where everyone just sits around [...]
Iron Skillet Pork Chops With Muscadine Glaze
Recently when I was at the National Cornbread Festival I came across a booth that was selling Muscadine Juice. Not wine…JUICE! I was so thrilled…and then I tasted it. OhhhMyStinkinHeck, that is the best stuff I think I have ever put in my mouth. As a kid I can remember being at my grandparents house [...]

Swiss Bliss steak

This Swiss Steak is a little different from your average Swiss Steak. And Boy Howdy is it ever good!

Steak is so expensive these days and there are just times that you want a good piece of steak that won’t break the bank, is easy to make and that the whole family can enjoy. Well, this is it. PLEASE, please don’t tell…but I actually prefer this recipe over a grilled steak any day. It is fall apart tender, melt in your mouth goodness. And it only takes about 10-15 minutes to throw it all together!!

Swiss Bliss Steak Bake

Buford Highway Farmers Market

Yesterday I had to take my niece to the airport and it provided me with the perfect opportunity to visit the Buford Hwy Farmer’s Market. I heard about it a few weeks ago and have been trying my best to get there but something always seemed to come up. Well, I finally made it and it was everything I had heard and more!!

Foods of the World

As you walk in you see a big world globe…because well, they have foods from all over the world!

It is amazing at the HUGE variety of foods that they have. They also have flowers, wall fountains outdoor, nesting dolls, small appliances, kitchen tools, etc. Basically, you name it!

sugar plums

Look!

It’s Sugar Plums…that will be dancing in my head!

I saw all kinds of produce that I had no idea even existed. Indian Bitter Melon which I bought for my Mom because it is supposed to help with cholesterol. I also bought dragon fruit and Korean melon (which I will tell you about in another post).

produce

This is just a small portion of the produce section. The produce section alone is larger than most grocery stores.

pork uterus

They also have a large meat section. With EVERY kind of meat you can possibly imagine and some you never want to see again. I mean really, WHO would buy a pork uterus??? And what would you do with it? Ohhh, never mind, I don’t think I really want to know the answer to that.

They had everything from traditional cuts to the exotic. Trust me when I say they had every part of an animal you could ever want to purchase.

seafood

And the seafood department was HUGE! So many different kinds of fish, shrimp, mussels, crab, etc.

octopus

Even Octopus.

NOOOOO, I didn’t come home with that.

I did however buy some weird octopus flavored chips from the Asian section.I just couldn’t resist getting them and making Tate try them. He is like Mikey, he will eat anything. And he did try them…and liked them. I couldn’t try them…they smelled horrid and once I got that first whiff I was done.

teas

Teas, as far as the eye can see.

international grogery

Each aisle is marked with the region that the food comes from. It makes it easy to navigate your way around the globe. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, European, Jamaican, Hispanic, African and American foods are all represented. We spent hours browsing around and being amazed at all the things available that we had never seen before. I can’t wait to go back and I suggest that if you are ever in the Atlanta area you make it a point to visit the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market. They have no idea who I am and this post is in no way sponsered by them, I just had to share a small piece of my experience with you because I felt I had truly taken a trip around the world.

Italian Cheeseburgers

As I was thinking about supper recently I got to wondering how I could make the ground beef I had stretch far enough to make burgers for everyone. As I was browsing through the freezer I spotted a package of Johnsonville Mild Italian Ground Sausage and thought why not an Italian Cheeseburger? I mean really, sounds pretty good to me. And GOOD it was!!

Italian Cheeseburger

Glazed Balsamic Pork

This is one of those dishes that is great for an easy weeknight meal or perfect if you are having company over. For us, it always turns out tender and moist…not hard and leathery like a piece of meat that has had car leather cleaner used on it. And your house, ohhh, it is going to smell so good!

Pair it with your favorite sides and you have one great meal.

And don’t let the ingredient list fool you, it is easy to throw together and tastes great!

balsamic pork roast

Simply take a pork roast (I prefer a pork loin) and rub it with the dry ingredients.

Throw it in a slow cooker, add 1/2 cup of water and cook on low for about 6-8 hours.

finished glazed balsamic pork

Once it is almost done, prepare the glaze and brush over the roast the last hour of cooking.

That is it.

Seriously!

Then, once you try it…you can use my favorite saying..

OHHH MyStinkinHeck, This is Dee-Licious!

Balsamic Glazed Pork

Ingredients:

1 (2-4 pound) boneless pork tenderloin

1 teaspoon ground sage

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon thyme

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup water

Glaze

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup water

3 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions:

Combine all of the dry ingredients in the first ingredients together and then rub over roast. Place in slow cooker with 1/2 cup water. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours. About an hour before the roast is done, combine the ingredients for the glaze in small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat and stir until the glaze thickens. Brush the roast with the glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. Save the remaining glaze so that you can add more to your meat if desired. And ummm, it’s going to be desired.
