How to Cook the Perfect Garlic and Herb Roasted Pork Bones

  1. Prep the pork bones: Rinse the pork bones under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Turn the oven on: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  3. Season and arrange: Place the pork bones into a large roasting pan. Drizzle olive oil over them and season generously with salt and pepper. Make sure the bones are well-coated by massaging the seasoning in.
  4. Add veggies: Toss in the quartered onion, crushed garlic, chopped carrots, and celery. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything, ensuring vegetables are evenly distributed around the bones.
  5. Roast: Place the pan in your oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remember to stir everything halfway through so everything browns evenly.
  6. Mix in tomato paste: Take the pan out of the oven and mix in the tomato paste, coating all the bones and veggies.
  7. Deglaze (optional): Pour in some red wine to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all those tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom.
  8. Add broth and herbs: Pour your chicken or beef broth in and add the rosemary and thyme sprigs for extra flavor.
  9. Roast again: Return the pan to the oven and roast for another hour—baste occasionally with the pan juices to enhance the meat’s tenderness.
  10. Finish and serve: Remove the pan from the oven and discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy whole-grain rice, or roasted root vegetables.

Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw

I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!

Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs

When it comes to making meals for my family, I try to prepare dishes that are elevated in flavor, but will also be something that will interest my toddlers (and sometimes even my husband for that matter haha). Kids don’t always care for the fancy foods, but I truly enjoy introducing new ingredients to my family, and incorporating different elements to my recipes. So finding that balance is my mission in the kitchen. Chicken is like the most blank canvas you can get in the culinary world. It can so beautifully adapt to any flavor profile and can be cooked many different ways. It’s one my of most favorite proteins and I could eat it every day, truly. This recipe envelopes simple home-style cooking, while representing refined and gourmet flavors. The rosemary brings an earthy freshness, while the Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick. It’s completed with a rich buttery sour cream that just brings the whole dish together. If you’re looking for a perfectly balanced dish, this is it. I hope you enjoy!
