one grrl's mission to eat the world
I haven’t written up a recipe in awhile. But rest assured, I stayed busy in the kitchen all year.
I tend to prefer broth-like soups, but every wet, cold wintry day demands a spicy stick-to-your-ribs seafood chowder.
This recipe pairs crab and corn together for liquid gold creamy goodness. During warmer months, I usually omit the potatoes, but recently DH demanded potatoes in his chowder, so in they went.
The Labor Day weekend is summer’s last bow before fall arrives, and the holiday is usually marked with backyard cookouts across the US, involving grills and smokers.
My household planned on staying home during the weekend, spending some intimate time with the Big Green Egg XL…and I wanted to do something different with pork belly from my usual crispy smoked roast pork.

After deliberating on what to do with a 1.25lbs of frozen sliced lamb that I purchased from my local Asian grocer, I opted to create two dishes from this earthy-flavored meat.
