Farm-To-Table

This is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days but what does it really mean and how do you know that what you’re getting is what you’re told and not just a way to make a buck.

Stuffed Pork Roast

Italian Style Country Pork Ribs

These ribs use Italian Sauce which can be found on this site. These ribs are melt in your mouth tender and have a lovely kick of spice from the sauce they’re paired with. I tend to serve them with pasta and garlic bread

It can also be thickened with a cornstarch slurry to pour over spaghetti. What you do with this is all up to you and your imagination.

New Orleans Rice

This rice is sooo full of flavor and it all comes together in the oven. Can’t get much easier than that. I did try this in the Instant Pot and it just didn’t come out the same so I’m only putting the oven directions here.
