Northwest Bruschetta

Have you ever felt the exhilarating feeling of knowing you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing?  That everything you have worked for and towards is metamorphosizing (is that even a word) right before your eyes…and everyone surrounding you is helping you get there?

As we push into the month of August, the Noble Pig household will be taking on a steady stream of visitors for the next few weeks.  I suppose this explains my recent absence, although I do truly enjoy my daily blogging.  It is so wonderful to have so many of our friends visit us in our new place of residence.  Last night…

Apricot Glazed Grilled Pork Chops

While grill marks can be very appetizing, sometimes those nice, blackened marks on certain types of meat, may indicate the cooking was done at too high a temperature or for too long. This stands true for pork chops.  They dry out so easily when cooked quickly on a really hot grill.  It just doesn’t work. The key is low heat and a bit…
