So just recently my boss sent me a note to tell me that he noticed I was not my chipper self, that I needed to “slow down” and that he was worried about me. Immediately, I went into flight or fight mode and started thinking, “OMG do I look like I am dragging my feet? […]
This is my first post in almost two months. I just want to apologize now for my absence, but honestly life just got in the way. Don’t you hate when that happens? Since my last post, I went back to work from 4 months of maternity leave and with that came all the woes of […]
I.love.Chinese.food.period. BUT having that said, I do not love all the MSG, gluten and other bad processed ingredients most Chinese restaurants sneak in to their food.

I am reposting this recipe for 3 BIG reasons: 1. I have uploaded a new feature on this wonderful blog in the last month, My Recipe Book. What that means is you can now log in to my site and have your own virtual Recipe Book where you can archive your favorite Our Full Plate […]
Ok so it did not occur to me until recently that I cook A LOT with pork! But why not?! Again, do I need to remind my loyal followers that pork tenderloin has less saturated fat that chicken? Hello?!?! Your waist will thank me later for my excessive pork recipes, I promise you. Another reason […]
Ok everyone, hold the phone….I made another Cuban inspired crock pot meal. The way I see it is, life is too short to just have one pork shoulder/ pork butt slow cooker meal in your repertoire. Two nights ago I made this pork meal and it was too good to hold out on you guys […]
