    • Grilled Pork Kabobs with an Apricot Glaze

      Posted at 10:23 am by NativeNM, on August 28, 2019

      I don’t remember a summer in recent years when I’ve done so much grilling.  Good thing I love to grill because my indoor kitchen has been under construction all summer long.  I’ve been making the most of it while trying out new recipes. These apricot glazed pork kabobs may be one of the tastiest meals we’ve had all summer.  It’s a simple kabob with cubed pork loin and thick sliced bacon.  Thick cut bacon is a must or it will char way beyond the crispy caramelized end bits that make this so tasty.  I bought a pork loin and sliced it into pork steaks that I could put up in the freezer.  Depending on size 2 – 3 thick sliced pork loin steaks plus 4 thick slices of bacon will make plenty for two people.  Add some grilled corn, onions, zucchini, or red pepper on the side to complete the meal.  Or if you prefer grilled peaches, plums or pineapple also taste great alongside apricot glazed pork.

    • Burrata Pesto Spread with Sun Dried Tomatoes

      Posted at 11:54 am by NativeNM, on August 20, 2019

      It’s been awhile since I’ve added a recipe.  My kitchen has been under construction since mid May which we estimated to complete over a couple month’s.  Sometimes well made plans don’t always work out though.  We fell behind schedule but hope to have the total remodel completed by the end of August.  Joe and I are doing a lot of the work ourselves with a little bit (actually big) help of a contractor who is helping to make it all happen.  I haven’t had my stove hooked up until recently but without a sink to clean up, I’ve been making do with a more simple menu, meals that don’t require a stove or extra dishes.   I shouldn’t complain though, it’s summer after all and most days I can grill outdoors.  This weekend I was inspired by a recipe from “Fork in the Kitchen” , a Burrata Pesto Tomato appetizer that was so visually appealing, I had to give it a try.  I tweaked the recipe so that it required no cooking and it turned out oh so good!  Once you taste the creamy burrata cheese with freshly made pesto and sun-dried tomatoes layered on soft french bread it’s hard to stop!
