RancherMan’s not much of a salad guy. But he knows I’ll be pushing the fresh veggies on him every chance I get. LOL!
Recently I came by a larger quantity of carrots. So in an effort to make sure they didn’t go to waste I blanched & froze quite a few. I also steamed others for supper sides.
Oh, and I also sliced up some raw ones as well. In a sneaky sneak-in-more-veggies move I have a glass container that I keep in the fridge with these sliced carrots. While I’m preparing supper I’ll bring it out for him to snack on.
But he’s not one to snack on carrots without dipping them into a sauce of some kind. And his sauce of choice is Thousand Island dressing.
But then the unthinkable happened – we ran out of the dressing.
(In my best southern belle voice) “Oh gracious, what evah shall I do??”

“COOK ONCE EAT TWICE” method of cooking means homemade meals are a snap to enjoy now & freeze some for later, and less cleanup too!
The idea is simple – cook LOTS of a specific main entrée and enjoy it at mealtime that day. Then portion out & freeze the rest for quick meals later.
It’s been a game-changer for me.

Wild hogs are a problem here in NE Texas, their destruction is far-reaching and often severe. These destructive creatures sweep across our fields in great quantities & root huge holes in our pastures overnight. This damage not only destroys the pasture grasses we rely on to feed our cattle, but can be damaging to our equipment as well.
But the good news is these wild hogs are just pork – escaped domestic hogs that have re-bred for years in the wild. RancherMan is an accomplished hunter. Since these wild hogs are so plentiful on our homestead it’s very common for us to have an abundance of wild pork in our freezer at any given time.
I’ve written before about some of the many ways I cook this meat such as Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Slow Cooker Pork Roast w/Red Wine, But today I’m writing about that sweet rite of Barbeque-Season passage – Pork Ribs on the grill!

RancherMan & I have a Valentine’s Day tradition: we get together in the kitchen & make a special dinner for each other.
It’s a way for us to focus fully on each other & give a gift straight from the heart. For this special meal, money is no object. And the sky is the limit for our meal choices when we’re planning it.
Usually we decide together what the meal will be & we get in the kitchen together & make the planned culinary delight side-by-side.
But when we were planning what would be our Valentine’s meal this year I told RancherMan that he could choose the entrée – anything in the world he wanted.
All I cared for was the dessert. I wanted chocolate, and I wanted that chocolate to be TRUFFLES.
