Meatballs Divino

Making meatballs from scratch is like therapy for me. I put in all my favorite ingredients, whatever I am in the mood for, and mash it with my hands until my hands can’t take the cold anymore and I have to rest and warm them. I Literally work out the stress of the day as I hand mix all the ingredients and and scoop them out by hand into hearty bigger than bitesize meatballs. I love it.

Hash Brown Crusted Egg Bake

I created this recipe last summer when I was asked to feed 240 people for lunch at a retreat in early October, 2018. I made it several times for the family trying to perfect both the texture, the price per serving and flavor. I wanted an egg bake with some structure and a bit of crunchy crust that would give some contrast to the typical softer egg casserole texture. Adding a layer of Cheese on top as well as incorporating some in the crust helped to achieve the contrast I was looking for. Success. A filling yet frugal casserole that can feed a crowd!

Weeknight Korean Bibimbap

Turn boring weeknight dinner into an ethnic explosion of flavors with this simple twist on Korean Bibimbap. Substitute ground beef for flank steak, use whatever veggies you have handy, mix and match ingredients in your stone bowl for each person being served, or if you don’t have stone bowls, just use a cast iron skillet.

Cuban Crusted Pork Belly

I made Pork Belly at home and it was epic. It was easy and fun to make and had amazing textures; from the cuban crust to the moist juicy meat. I added pickled onions and a few savory jams to give each bite variety and layers. This Pork Belly could be served as a main course or an App. Either way there won’t be leftovers
