I was really in the mood for a good cheesy baked mac and cheese. I needed a protein and decided that I would roast some of the pork shoulder pieces I had in the freezer. I did let the chunk thaw. When ready, I preheated the oven to 325. I combined: 2 tsp salt, 1Continue reading “Roasted Pork”

Bacon Mushroom Shrimp Alfredo
Sometimes during the week I don’t always plan out my meals as well as I hoped. But sometimes I do think of it the morning, so that I am ready to cook when I get home from work. This was one of those times. I looked in the fridge, and I had mushrooms and baconContinue reading “Bacon Mushroom Shrimp Alfredo”
Chicken Rice Bake

Pork Lumpia
Holiday parties are always filled with fun, good bites and drinks. I wanted to offer up something different yet traditional this year. I decided to make some pork lumpia. I didn’t want them to be too small and skinny so we made them a bit more plump and medium sized. I had asked Dad forContinue reading “Pork Lumpia”
401 Prime (Lancaster, PA)
I love when I get to try new places. I heard many good things about 401 Prime, so I was excited when it was in the works and reservation made!

After a warm yummy dinner at Rice and Noodles, how can you forget dessert. It being cold never stops me from ice cream! This time around, we went to Fox Meadows in Leola.
