Asparagus Roast Beef Roll-Ups

Nov 23, 2011 by

A week has gone by and I just realized I have been making food to cater to my hot sauce craving (this is not ok).   I may have a mild obsession with spicy food…  I like to blame it on Sheena, my Indian friend, whose mother is a rock star in the kitchen. I am currently working on getting her recipes for falafel (made in a waffle iron) and “street food” aka pani puri.  When I dream of indian food those are the 2 dishes (+tikka masala) on my mind.  Hopefully they will make an appearance on the blog soon!

Now lets step away from hot sauce and move onto another type of heat, horseradish.  There is something about the pungent flavor of horseradish that can make a simple something (let’s say asparagus) absolutely addictive.  No really, this little appetizer is hard to step away from if you have a spot in your heart for a little horseradish zing.  My mothers best friend, Shawna (another amazing cook in my life), brought these bad boys over a couple years ago and they are now on my list of appetizers to make every time we have company over.

Ingredients

  • 3 dozen asparagus spears
  •  1 pkg (8 ounces) chive and onion cream cheese
  • 5 tablespoons horseradish
  • 2 packages (5 oz each) sliced roast beef

Boil water and lightly cook asparagus for 2-3 minutes.  You want them to be crispy!

Mix together cream cheese and horseradish. Add horse radish to your own taste, usually 3-5 table spoons.

Spread each slice of roast beef with a thin layer of mixture. Roll up the asparagus spear inside of the roast beef.  

 

Could it get any easier!?!?

Thanks for the introduction Shawna!

Sweet and Salty Pork Chops

Aug 11, 2011 by

This is one of those amazing recipes that everyone asks my mother for.  The best part, it is super easy and SUPER DELICIOUS.  If you can marinate and grill then there is no going wrong.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4” thick pork chop (per person)
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp garlic (garlic powder)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Garlic Salt
I cut this all in half for four pork chops to save some ingredients. A little goes a long way when marinating.
A glimpse at the original recipe… it has seen better days

Mix together 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp garlic (garlic powder), 1 tbsp brown sugar and garlic salt.  No particular order… like I said EASY
