Place baby carrots on a cookie sheet (one with sides), drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper

My mother was the only one in the family who made them. My husband HATES peppers in any shape or form...can't even stand the smell of them, so I never get to cook them or even have them in the fridge.

She also used to make this funky meal called "porcupine balls."

No joke either! They were meatballs with instant rice in them or something. I dunno, man that was WAY back like in the early 1970s.

ADDENDUM: Holy crap I actually found that recipe googling the term "Porcupine balls!" I'm not as insane as they say! I tried to put a direct link in the box below, but of course it's too long. If anyone wants to check it out, you just have to copy and paste it into your browser.

that I've made for over 30 years....Hayseed, wish you lived closer, I'd bring you over a batch of stuffed peppers. They probably wouldn't be as good as your mom's though.

Hi,

Quite a few years back, I had a recipe I can no longer find at home or on the internet, which is where I believe I first found it.

It's for Cuban slow roasted pork with mojo sauce. The recipe's instructions called for putting the roast in the oven on very low heat for at least 24 hours. (I've found a similar one on Epicurious, but would prefer to re-find the one I originally used).

Sound familiar? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.

I can get it at my local grocery stores and use it on pork loin or chicken, and I have even found a fresh sausage with the flavor already added to it. Very good with yellow rice, black beans, and peas.

Sorry about my not spelling tomatoes correctly. I graduated from the Dan Quayle school of spelling.

I saw a recipe for oven dried tomatoes that sounds good with olive oil, sea salt and garlic. Yum.

Not bad with cubed tofu, either. Also, what about vegetarian lasagna, eggplant parmesan, vegetable soup. More recipes are here, some vegetarian, but you can always substitute ground turkey or leave out the beef.
