I cook with ground meat about once a week.  It’s tasty and easy to work with especially when you want to make a protein packed meal.  This weekend I started to make one of my standard ground beef and rice mixtures, maybe a bit boring, until I was inspired by something my husband said to me the other day.  He shared with me that his Mom use to make a Spanish Rice type dish.   Hmmmm Spanish rice.  Then I got my MoJo going and headed to the pantry and here is what the results were.

So if you follow me, you know that we fire up the oven every Sunday morning and cook Bacon.  Yes, we fondly call it Bacon Sunday.  We look forward to it and the thought of the savory smell of bacon lulls us off to sleep on Saturday night.

These individual quiche are the perfect dish for a brunch buffet.  The combination of savory ham with cheese and egg will satisfy any guest. They can be easily made the day before and warmed prior to serving.
Whether you are the hostess or bringing a dish to a buffet these delicious quiche will be well received.

This week I was chatting with the butcher (yes I do this regularly) and I wanted something new and tasty. So we ended up with a shredded pork idea. He prepared for me a 2 pound Pork Butt. We decided that I would use a dry rub and then slow cook it in my Dutch Oven. Once cooked I would add some tasty barbeque sauce.

This was some lip smacking pork. This will keep then coming back for more. It is also a dish that can be used in so many ways; with Tacos, in a soft roll as a sandwich, for burritos, it can even be eaten separately. It is so delicious it won’t last for long.
