Experts Are Only A Click Away!

When I want a good recipe I know that one is only a click away! I have learned that bloggers are experts at everything. A wealth of knowledge awaits us in this world. I trust you and you have yet to let me down. If a blogger says it's good.....It's good ! Good food prepared to please, not to sell a cookbook or impress a judge (well maybe our family is considered judges, ha)

Last week I tried one new recipe and one tried and true!

First, the tried and true. I make this pretty often but when Mary at One Perfect Bite shared her recipe for Chicken Fried Steak, I knew I had to cook it soon......so that evening it was on my table. The only exception in the recipe was; I used elk steak, not beef.

This is Mary's picture.....she's a great photographer too! My steak was perfect but my picture was lacking.....

If you haven't read Mary's blog, you really should. She shares wonderful recipes, every day and the pictures make your mouth water. I asked her if she ever gets out of the kitchen? You can get her recipe at the link above.

Thanks for bringing this recipe to my attention. It was a hit!

Now for the new recipe.

I've told you in the past about Kim, The Ungourmet's great burgers, wraps, (well everything is excellent) but if you missed this post, you must go back and read it +see it! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Chili!



First let me say that it was so easy. Add all in crock pot.......come back in 7 or 8 hours and get ready for a taste bud experience.



Chili is one of my favorite dishes but this one is miles away from being just chili. Rich tomato flavor, hint of sweetness, tender pork, topped with sour cream and cilantro!!!! I've been told that I talk to my food, with a "mmmm, wow, or man", following each bite....I think this night I stood up and sang !

I hope you all try these and enjoy them as much as I did.

Thanks Nanny.... My mother used to make the best Chicken Fried Steak... Don't think I have ever made it...BUT--when we take George's parents out for a meal, the either get Chicken Fried Chicken or Chicken Fried Steak......

The Chili looks great also. Thanks!

It's so true but most of my best recipes come from your blog. I love your tuna boat and the ham salad too

I LOVE getting food inspiration from blogs and websites! I take my blackberry to the grocery store and choose ingredients from the shelves while downloading the recipe on my phone :)

Sounds great, I really can't wait to have that chili but now I think it will have to wait until November! Unless we have another cold spell...not likely.
