Pork and Polenta




Easy delicious, makes great leftovers. Everything you could want! We love the recipe for Pork Braised in Milk. Polenta (not the cat) is the perfect accompaniment. However, Polenta (the cat) loves it! We have made this recipe many times and love it! It is a winner!

You can find the recipe for the pork braised in Milk in our blog of: Oct. 17, 2011. Click the date to get the recipe. Be sure to order Polenta from Ansom Mills. It is the BEST!

Pasta All'Amatriciana




We love this classic Pasta All'Amatriciana. Bacon is the main ingredient. Use a good bacon! We like Neuske's Bacon. It is  available at our local grocery. For the recipe we use the one from The Zuni Cafe Cookbook. You can find the recipe on our blog of: Nov. 21, 2007. Click the date to get the recipe. It requires a good Pecorino Cheese. We get ours, of course, at The Cheese Store of Silverlake. This is a favorite of mine and because it used canned tomatoes you can make it year around!
