Fall is here and the colder temps mean I want nothing but warm and comforting meals pretty much exclusively. This time of year is also when I love to cook with pork; it’s fantastic for low and slow cooking and pairs really well with fall veggies and even fruit. Here are my current favorite pork […]
This post has been rattling around in my head for quite some time now. It’s no secret or surprise that when it comes to shopping for meat I am always in favor of supporting local ranchers at the source but I know that doing so does come at a premium compared to just stopping by […]
