This week we had some company over for dinner. I love having people over to try new recipes that I’ve been working on. I decided to serve roast chicken, salad, biscuits, and these new bacon corn muffins that I present today.

A few weeks back I picked out a few boxes of “Tasty” brand creamy salsa verde chicken dinner from a grocery store. It looked good and didn’t seem to be much work to put together. I like to keep these types of “quick” meals on hand for a busy weeknight dinner.

Recently we went to a local restaurant called Dizzy Hen where they specialize in brunch. The food is awesome and the service is great too. They source their ingredients locally. My husband and son ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were fresh and the gravy was superb.

My pantry is full of spices and spice mixes from all over the world. Many of them were given to me by friends who know how much I love to cook and experiment with new flavors.
Some of the best mixes come from Penzeys Spices and today I feature their Ozark Style Seasoning. It is a Southern U.S. style blend of black peppers, numerous herbs, and salt. I have been using it to make the most delicious roasted vegetables one can imagine. The balance of spices is incredible and I use it below in this recipe.

This week while I was cruising down the meat isle I saw a lot of pork riblet packages with prices that were reasonably low. I couldn’t resist picking up a package to try out, even though I don’t normally buy pork riblets. I’m so glad I did though. Pork riblets are trimmed pieces from spare ribs. They are easy to cook and they cost much less than a rack of ribs. The package I picked up was pretty meaty without much fat.

Cuban sandwiches are famous for their unique flavors. They typically have pulled pork, ham, swiss cheese, yellow mustard, pickles, and a Cuban-style baguette. This is then grilled with a press until the cheese melts. Today I am going to try something different — making a Cuban burger that has a lot of the same flavorings.

When I was growing up, my family only ate pork on special occasions like Christmas and Easter. It was a big deal! My uncle would buy a whole hog from far away, bring it himself, and then we butchered it ourselves. It was too much for one family, so we sold the extra to others in our community who ate pork.

As the weather gets colder I tend to make a big batches of stew or soups for our family. If you look through my recipe archive you will see I have a lot of soup ideas for you. They preserve well so you can get multiple meals out of them, and are easy to please the family with.

Sometimes I crave a burger, and over time I’ve learned how to make a lot of different types of them. There are so many choices! You get to make decisions over the type of bun, cheese, condiments, sauce, and type of protein (it doesn’t have to be beef!).
