Glazed Pork

Last week I made Glazed Pork, which I pulled out of another cookbook. Fortunately for you all, however, I changed up the recipe a lot from the cookbook I got it from mainly that instead of using lamb like the recipe calls for I used pork.

First off you need to slice the pork thinly. Then you fry it on medium heat until it browns and remove it from the pan. In the oil and juice you just fried the pork in you add Italian style green beans and chopped green onions. After you fry it for awhile you add back the pork, add chopped garlic, lime juice, salt, pepper, chopped cilantro, honey, and sesame seeds or a seasoning that contains sesame seeds. Stir until the pork is well coated with the mixture.

Then viola! It's a quick and delicious dish that tastes amazing even with just a bit of white rice.

Tilapia Puttanesca

Last week I made a tilapia dish from the Italian All-Time Favorites Cook Book. It came out remarkably and I ate it with white rice. I won't post the recipe itself as it's in a published work already but here's a picture of how it came out!

It has tilapia, red onion, tomatoes, capers, garlic, and black olives. Maybe if I make a variation of it I'll post the recipe up. Or if you'd like to try it out just shoot me an email.

Fettucini Alfredo With Sausage

Earlier this week I made a pasta dinner for my boyfriend and his family. It's really simple and really inexpensive. Plus the recipe is very versatile.

First I added oil to the frying pan and heated it at medium heat. While it heated I chopped the sausage, washed the mushrooms, and chopped the onion. Once the pan was hot enough I added the ingredients and stirred often. While I did that I filled a pot with water, salt, and pepper then heated it to a boil. Once the water boiled I added the pasta. In a seperate sauce pan I added the alfredo sauce and heated it on low. Once the pasta is cooked and the mushrooms are soft it's ready to serve!

I made a variation of this a couple of days ago but as spaghetti using much more ingredients and of course a different sauce. So let me know how you did it! Or even if you decide to make the sausage fettucini too what did you add or take out to make it more you? I'm looking forward to hearing your takes on it!

Random Thoughts

I know I've been a bit late again with my entries this week but at least I only missed one day. That's an improvement right?

• I think it's a bit silly for someone to complain about eating the same food all the time and then complain that you should have made something else when you make something new. Make up your mind people!
• My laptop is really driving me crazy this week. I think it gets more messed up as the days go by.
• It's really hard to wait for all the things lined up for this month like all the boxes, pokemon, and Halloween

Oven Roasted Ribs

Today I got to make dinner and I wound up making oven roasted ribs. It's actually something I make every few weeks and it comes out super yummy. Making it is super easy and what really matters is the sauce.

They don't really look so good in this picture but they're really yummy

When you first get the ribs you have to put them in a pressure cooker for about an hour or so with seasoning. If you don't have a pressure cooker you can boil them regularly but that will take a bit longer.

After the ribs are all soft you get a bowl and mix together barbecue sauce, soy sauce, mojo, naranja agria, and garlic. Today I didn't feel like using natural garlic so I just used jarred minced garlic.

After that you transfer the ribs to the oven safe dish and pour the mix evenly over the ribs. Then you cover it and put it in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes. It doesn't need too long since you boiled them before hand.

Once the 30 minutes is up you take the ribs out and uncover them and spoon the juices on top. Then set your oven to broil and return the ribs to the oven uncovered. But keep an eye on them so they don't burn.

After that they're ready to eat with anything. White rice, yellow rice, congri, tostones, salad, anything you want.
