Tamale Pie

Tamale Pie by Patrick Travis

This is one of my comfort foods for a cold winter day. This is a mildly spicy dish. If you are not into a little heat, or are serving this to kids, you may want to reduce the amount of ground peppers and eliminate the crushed red pepper in the cornmeal topping.

Italian Dressing

Italian Dressing by Patrick Travis

I have not found many bottled salad dressings I like. This lead me to search out something I can make myself and this is what I put together from various sources. I like my dressings tart so I normally don't add any sugar. If I am serving this to company, and want to tone down the acidity, I add a little bit of sugar. This is…

Oven BBQ Chicken

Oven BBQ Chicken by Patrick Travis

It was a dark and stormy night….NO, NO, NO!! Sorry, I just started my last diatribe with that line but it’s still winter and the ice where my wife and I park our cars is so slick there are days we put on ice cleats to just to walk to the bridge that leads to our front door. What’s a person to do when the old BBQ is covered with…

Southwestern Beef & Hominy Soup

Southwestern Beef & Hominy Soup by Patrick Travis

This is a hearty soup that only takes about 1 hour from start to finish. I started looking at a Pork Posole recipe but did not have the time to thaw, cube, and brown the pork, but I did have a pound of ground beef in the fridge. I substituted 1 lb of ground beef for 2 lb of cubed pork; a red enchilada sauce for green; 1 can of beef…

Braised Lamb Shanks

Braised Lamb Shanks by Patrick Travis

It was a dark and stormy night….well, it snowed about 1 foot last night, and I was in the mood for a warm hearty stew. When I looked in the freezer, what should I find but two beautiful lamb shanks, about 1 ½ lbs. each. I was looking for some stew meat so this was like Christmas. As soon as I saw this treat I decided on a braise…

Pork & Pinto Bean Soup

Pork & Pinto Bean Soup by Patrick Travis

This is a spicy, warm up your mouth kind of soup I put together on our first day of snow here in North Idaho. I normally don’t use brand name ingredients in my recipes, but in this case I think they create a flavor I’m not sure I could easily duplicate without them. This is great on a cold winter day but I bet it would be just as…

Beef Marinade

Beef Marinade by Patrick Travis

I love to grill during the summer and one of my favorite meats to grill is a tri-tip roast. At first the ingredients didn't sound very good but I gave it a try anyway. Was I wrong! This is one of the best marinades I have used. I have also used this with country style pork ribs and it was excellent with them also.

Pork Posole

Pork Posole by Patrick Travis

An easy, rich, posole. I call out canned enchilada sauce, but if you have time to make one from scratch the posole is even better.
