Black Bean Soup
I’ve had a lifelong Latin love affair with frijoles negros (black beans)—a dark and mysterious recipe that I just can’t get enough of. And once you’ve loaded a spoonful of my steaming hot Black Bean Soup topped with a cold dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of red onions and chopped cilantro, you’ll become a Latin…
Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema
For Cinco de Mayo, South of the border meets South Louisiana in this Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema–a taco taste sensation. I love how the citrus flavors of the orange-brined pork shoulder are elevated by the spike of jalapeños and Cajun seasoning that work so deliciously with farm-fresh vegetables. And the cool and creamy…
Asparagus Soup
The delicate flavor of asparagus makes a bold statement when cooked down into a soul-satisfying bowl of Asparagus Soup. It’s a fresh taste of spring in a bowl. Asparagus is a mainstay in my kitchen, and I use it in so many creative ways. Roasted, grilled, and steamed are obvious, but when we stumbled upon…
Pulled Pork Sandwich on Sweet Potato Waffle
This creative, open-face sandwich is piled high with flavor.

Pass the sauce and start soppin’ up this delicious Pulled Pork Sandwich on Sweet…

Venison Bourguignon
With a depth of wild flavor bathed in red wine and a bouquet of herbs, this Venison Bourguignon is a Southern backwoods expression of a classic French dish. There are flavors here that tantalize: Wild game simmered down in a dark roux-infused gravy spiked ever-so-gently with red wine and punched with fragrant herbs, umami-rich mushrooms,…
Peppered Pork Chops with Pineapple Jasmine Rice
The slow-simmered pork in my Peppered Pork Chops gently bubbles in a black-iron cauldron of Caribbean ingredients with aromatics, herbs, and spices delivering wave after wave of flavor. And when served over my citrusy Pineapple Jasmine Rice, you’ll be booking a flight to the islands. It was twenty-six years ago (August 8th, 1992) that Roxanne…
Frostop and The Lot-O-Burger
Fresh hand-pressed beef griddled on the flat-top is dressed to impress on a sesame seed bun; it’s my all-time favorite fast-food burger—the Lot-O-Burger, my teenage years between two slices of bread. High school reunions come at you fast. They come in 10s and 20s and 30s as capsuled packets of time that shine light like…
Singin’ the blues with my Blueberry Basil Pastry
Fresh blueberries rock my world. And when jammin’ with sweet basil and stuffed inside a crispy pastry, I just can’t get enough. I can assure you this Blueberry Basil Pastry will rock your world, too. You might call these turnovers, tarts, or even a hot pocket, but by any name, they are the perfect breakfast…
