Coffee and Wine Beef Stew
A delicious, rich, and slightly unique take on beef stew. Not so many people have heard of using coffee with beef in a stew, but trust me when I say this - you need to try it! The deep flavors that it produces is fantastic, almost similar to fish sauce that I add in other stews or chili's of mine. When you're cooking the beef, it's imperative that you don't overcrowd the pan. You want nice caramelized browns on the cubes of beef - adding more flavor as they cook down with the rest of the ...

Hearty Crock Pot Chicken Stew
So I've had these chicken thighs sitting around for a while, and I couldn't decide what to do with them. I didn't want to only grill them, so I decided to get the crock pot out and make some sort of stew. The end results were surprisingly good! Although it might look like a stringy mess, it tastes absolutely delicious. The peppers cooked down so they are virtually nonexistent, but the mushrooms give a nice texture change. I've found that it ends up tasting even better after it's been ...

Are Pork Rinds Keto? The Many Benefits Of This Zero Carb Snack
Yes, pork rinds are keto-friendly and used widely by people on low-carb diets. That said, it’s still easy to be fooled into thinking that this humble keto snack food is unhealthy.

Cinnamon and Orange Beef Stew
So I decided to go a little bit out of the ordinary last night and make a beef stew that many of you might not have experienced before. The rich flavors of citrus and beef stock combine with the deep elements of cinnamon and fish sauce to create a delicious meal.

Not Your Cavemans Chili
When I think of chili, I think of a deep, rich, and thick sauce clinging to firm pieces of beef. Beans scattered throughout each bite, and a nice small crunch of onions and peppers as you get through the bowl. Something that warms you up on a cold winter night, and keeps you full for the rest of the evening. Something that's hearty and delicious! The ground meat portion of this recipe will add a similar texture to that of what beans would. The larger chunks of meat give a great firm texture, ...
