Pulled Pork
Hello CC moms! I just wanted to make sure to get this recipe to you all quickly, so I’m sorry it will look a bit naked without some glamorous food photos. But I figured, since you all have sampled the food I won’t have to convince you with pretty pictures! Ingredients Instructions I love to make a little extra spice rub to sprinkle while we eat. This pulled pork is so versatile! We have used it for sandwiches, tacos, breakfast bowls, on top of Mac and cheese….the possibilities are endless! It also freezes really well, I just recommend pouring in a little of the extra fat before you freeze it.…

Buttermilk Pancake
If you google “pancake recipe” you will end up with endless results. Pages and pages and pages, promising the fluffiest pancakes. It seems like people keep trying to make pancakes bigger and fluffier. Have you seen the giant Japanese pancakes?? The enormity of pancakes is actually why I stopped eating them. Waking up and eating such a heavy breakfast just made it feel like I ate a brick of sugar, not great. I started testing recipes to try and make something that was light and tender. So here it is, just another pancake recipe to post online to add to the millions. Below the recipe I’ll post a few tips…

Japenese Style Curry with Chicken Katsu
This is probably my husband’s favorite meal that I make, and possibly my kids’ also! My husband was stationed in Okinawa, Japan for a few years and he loved the curry there. When he came back he would go to CoCos Ichibanya for their curry. Eventually we moved away from any CoCos, so I had to figure out how to make it at home! Now, I do use a specific brand of Curry base, you might ask, “well can I use a different brand??” Good question, other brands will taste different, they might need different amounts of ingredients, so it would change the recipe. I would say, once you have…

Corned Beef (From Scratch!)
Disclaimer #1: Okay, I know it’s already March 3rd…I’m really pressing you on the timeline, but if you need the ingredients quick, Amazon Prime it. All of these spices and the Pink Curing Salt can be found on Amazon! I know, I know, not great…but blame the military. They called us and said “you are moving in 2 weeks!” so my plan of getting this done in February went out the window. Disclaimer #2: Yes there are spices and ingredients you probably won’t have. But I encourage you to buy them and then look for more ways to use those spices! Also you might not have the 2 gallon ziploc…

Chili
It’s fall and that means CHILI!! This is my recipe for a classic tomato and beef chili. To be honest, it’s never won a chili cook off, but that’s probably because I’ve never made it for a chili cook off… I always feel the need to make my Chicken Chili for cook offs so that people have that option besides beef, even though we all know chicken chili never wins… So maybe one day I’ll make both of my chili recipes and see what happens! But for now, you can just trust my word that this is some good chili! Ingredients 1/2 Yellow Onion diced 2-3 Cloves of Garlic minced…

Cilantro Grilled Chicken
First, this is not a recipe for tacos….it’s a recipe for some delicious chicken that we usually use for tacos, but we have used it for salads, sandwiches, or just to have on its own. Second, if you have that genetic situation where cilantro tastes like soap, stay away from this recipe, also I send my sympathies!! Now I’ll try my best to hold off on the yakking and get straight to the recipe…but be sure to go read my yakking because I’ll have some tips about this recipe down there! Ingredients 6-8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (or 3 Chicken Breasts pounded to about 1 inch) 1 Cup packed of…
