Stir-fries aren't usually the well-edited dishes you think about and shop for in advance. They are frequently renegade, use-up-what's-in-the-fridge meals, which is part of their charm. But not so with this recipe. I chose these particular ingredients deliberately, picking up pork tenderloin for a mid-week treat and adding lots of fresh spring vegetables for crunch. More
When it comes to pairing wine with food, I don't know that there's a pair I like much better than a big plate of pasta with red wine sauce and tender, aromatic homemade meatballs — paired with a bold and delicious Chianti, of course. It's a classic setup, a staple of Italian-American restaurants, and comfort food extraordinaire. Here's the recipe for the meatballs I cook when I want to make certain members of my family extra, extra happy — and a tangy tomato and red wine sauce too. More
Q: My husband and I are interested in hosting a pig roast at our house. We've thrown a lot of parties, but never one of this magnitude and certainly never one that entailed an entire pig. Do you have any recipes, tips or advice?

Q: We cooked a ham for Easter and I was lucky enough to be able to bring home the ham bone. I have no idea what to do with it! Does anyone have an suggestions on what would be tasty and not extremely difficult for me to make?

Okay, we're not going to win any awards for thinking up this combination. But hey, these potato bites are easy, delicious, and perfect for a Final Four-loving crowd, should you find yourself surrounded by one this weekend. They even remind us of sports bar food...like little deconstructed potato skins. More
Q: Now that I know how to cook bacon in an oven and I can cook in large batches, what's the best way to keep the bacon warm and crispy for a couple of hours until it's time to eat? Also, is there an easy way to transport the bacon retaining that crispiness?

I am a bacon lover. Crispy, salty, and smoky should be part of almost every meal as far as I'm concerned. In case you're looking for a few ways to serve it other than breakfast, we've done the dirty work for you and rounded up 15 bacon-tastic meals that put that pig to use! More
My love for the twice-baked potato knows no bounds. I mean, we're basically talking about mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and other good things, stuffed inside a potato skin, and baked until crispy. How could that be bad? Answer: it can't.
I'll eat these any old time and with all manner of fillings. But if you're headed to a Super Bowl Party next week, this bacon-cheddar version is a guaranteed hit. More
Chinese or Lunar New Year falls on this coming Monday, January 23rd. In honor of this very important holiday, Bee of the beautiful and delicious website Rasa Malaysia brings us a traditional recipe for hot and soothing soup. Welcome, Bee!
A traditional Chinese New Year meal is incomplete without dumplings and a dish of nourishing and soothing Chinese soup, hence I've combined the best of both worlds into this pork dumpling soup. This dish is a Cantonese delicacy and the dumplings are called "Siu Kow" in Cantonese, or literally "water dumplings." More
Q: I have three long links of cured chorizo, both spicy and regular, that need to get used up. (It is very dry and firm chorizo.) I'm looking for some gluten-free ideas so that they don't go to waste!
