Copycat - Cracker Barrel Cider Pork Roast with Apples by Andra Kiser

A few years ago, Cracker Barrel had a seasonal dish in the fall. It was a tender pork roast with apples. I've altered the recipe I found to my taste.

Kare-Kare by Alvin Sanchez

The name may have been derived from “curry,” and while the color is similar to this Asian dish, the peanut sauce is all our own. So unique is kare-kare’s flavor that it’s one of the first things balikbayans ask for when they get home!

Lamb Stew with Tomatoes and Spices by John Spottiswood

This is a succulent dish. It's another amazing recipe I adapted from Stews, Bogs and Burgoos by James Villas. The original recipe is for braised lamb shanks.

Quick & Easy Pot Roast by hamms

I don't use my slow cooker nearly as much as I should. I have even bought cookbooks chock-full of wonderful sounding recipes hoping to get inspired. The problem I find, and I know this sounds incredibly lazy, is that many of the recipes seem like so much work-so much cooking before even getting to the crock pot. I just want to throw a…
