Yogurt Recipe for Sous Vide The origins of our yogurt making date back to a …

Pork Chorizo Sausage Recipe

October 13, 2014 //  by Tom

A wise man once said: "When life gives you big ole pork butts, make Chorizo sausage" Here we turn our pork butt into Chorizo, a dynamic and delicious team player in the kitchen. This sausage brings a strong spicy and rich flavor to any dish. (Check out the Seafood Stew!) Chorizo can also stand on its own, I'll even throw a link on the grill and top it with some ketchup.

[column-group] [column span="3"] Kale Recipe for Breakfast with Eggs When I wake up, I walk directly to the stove.  Regardless of the day, I enjoy a nice hearty breakfast.  This dish is a rather quick way to get both your greens and eggs.  I have made this dish with all kinds of kale (Curly Kale, Red Kale, Lacinato Kale, etc.), but Black Kale (aka Lacinato Kale) is by far my absolute favorite.  The flavor and texture is strong enough to give you the feeling of eating a "real" meal, but not so …
