Green Tomato & Apple Chutney
We don’t have severe winters here in N.C. but we do get to freezing temps, not so good for garden vegetables. So before the first threat of frost last fall, we gathered the remaining tomatoes from our garden. There were still lots of green tomatoes left. You can ripen green tomatoes by wrapping them in newspaper and storing them in a a cool dark area in your pantry. We were still eating tomatoes from our garden well into December from the tomatoes we had ripening in the pantry. We also made this chutney that we gave out for Christmas and still have some jars in our pantry. This is a great way to preserve tomatoes and keep enjoying them for the rest of the year. I borrowed several recipes online and from … Read entire article »

Oven Roasted Spareribs
My girls think that my mom’s barbecued spareribs are the greatest, but I think this came pretty close especially since it’s been a while since we’ve fired up the grill and hadn’t had ribs since last summer. It’s still too cold to be messing with the grill so these were dry rubbed and baked in the oven. They turned out tender and juicy and very flavorful. The only thing missing was the smokiness; but they must have been pretty good. These were eaten up pretty fast. First thing to do is to prepare your ribs. I used to just rinse them and cook ‘em, but this time around I decided to trim the ends off so I can use it for the braised dish I was planning on cooking. While I … Read entire article »

Challah Bread with Craisins
We bought some delicious craisins (sweetened dried cranberries) from Costco for recipes we tested over the holidays and we’ve gotten addicted to them. The girls, who hate raisins, have actually gotten used to snacking on craisins which is non-fat and that is always a good thing! We were planning on making bread one day when The Clone suggested adding craisins. It was an inspired suggestion! … Read entire article »

LP 23 – Rib Ends Braised in Green Tomato Chutney
Lorraine of Super Sarap is the host of this month’s Lasang Pinoy event, Crockpot Cooking. What I wanted to try cooking in a crockpot is Humba which I have seen recipes of in several food blogs. Specifically, from The Pilgrim’s Pots and Pans. However, when it came time to cook and I started looking in the pantry for ingredients, I found myself pulling ingredients that were totally unrelated to what I had intended to cook! Well, not totally unrelated. I think what I came up with has a different flavor but the intent could be considered similar to humba. This is an adaptation of Karen’s Humba recipe. … Read entire article »
