Hot Sauce Infused Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e Pepe, translated as “cheese and pepper,” is a simple pasta dish that is a favorite specialty of Rome. It is one of my favorite dishes, as it has that “comfort food” quality that I love so much. I do like to jazz it up a little by usually adding some bacon, which adds […]

Love Chili? Love Brisket? Here’s a super simple recipe for Brisket Chili in the Instant Pot! Recently, a friend recommended me trying the Instant Pot for cooking. Now, I know that they have been the craze for a while, but I’m not usually one to jump on a fad, and frankly I have more […]

Chili Rubbed Pork Porterhouse
