Grand Marnier Raisin Gingerbread Bars Recipe

Wednesday March 10, 2010

These gingerbread bars have a slight kick, but are not overly sweet. They go well with coffee, cappuccino or espresso. Plan ahead to let the raisins soak in the liqueur before beginning. If you cannot use the liqueur or do not have any on hand, substitute orange juice.

Do not confuse pork loin with pork tenderloin. Pork loin is not as tender, but makes a wonderful boneless roast. It may also be sliced into boneless chops. Whole boneless pork loin is fairly inexpensive when it comes to meat. The warehouse stores sell it for less than $2 per pound. I like to buy the whole loin and cut it in half. One half is used as a roast. The other half is sliced into 1-1/2-inch thick pork loin chops. Pound the chops down to a 1-inch thickness, re-shape, then individually wrap to freeze. Always let meats thaw slowly in the refrigerator so it re-absorbs its juices. Try these pork loin recipes.

Fuzzy Navel Cake Recipe

Saturday March 6, 2010

If you like fuzzy navel cocktails, you will love this cake made with peaches, cherries, and peach schnapps. It makes an attractive presentation on the table. This traditional recipe made the rounds in the 70's, along with Harvey Wallbanger Cake. You can glaze it or not. Glazing gives even more visual appeal, but it is just as delicious without.

Teriyaki Skirt Steak

Thursday March 4, 2010

The most popular recipe for skirt steak is fajitas. Branch out from traditional fajitas and try this recipe using a homemade teriyaki sauce. Take care not to overcook the skirt steak. It should be medium-rare, or at the least no more than medium. Otherwise, it will be dry and chewy. It is also very important to slice this cut of beef across the grain to avoid a stringy texture.
