Rib of the Week: Candied Maple Sesame Ribs
I'll say it again: I swear we eat more than meat.
The ribs I made the other night got me thinking about other seasonal, autumn-y things I could do with beef spare ribs.
These are a...
Quick Meat Ragout with Orecchiette
This is a rich and hearty sauce that you can make in just about the amount of time it takes to boil a pound of orecchiette.

Cider Cooked Cornish Game Hens with Apple and Bacon

Crispy Sesame Chicken Nibbles
Win friends and influence people with Crispy Sesame Chicken Nibbles! Just kidding.
(Sorry, I had a very long day at work.)
