Pork Pozole Rojo : My Diary of Us

Pozole Rojo with Pork

It seriously feels like forever since I blogged a recipe.  I am trying to get back into the swing of things now that all the recipes in the cookbook have been completed, and slowly but surely it is all coming back to me.  Getting back into a routine with not only work, but life in general has been much needed.  

I was on a roll last week with working out, eating right, and getting back to some kind of regimen and then bam that stratchy throat feeling came at me hard on Friday.  I knew it was coming and even though I tried to drink it away with ginger tea and vitamin packed smoothies, it just got worse.  Turns out it was a nasty sinus infection and I am finally feeling somewhat better after a few days on antibiotics.  I don't know about you, but when I don't feel good I crave soups non-stop. There is just something about the warm broth that makes me feel better instantly.  My pozole rojo with pork is just the kind of soup that I want when I am sick (or not sick honestly) and I think that you will love it too!

Roasted Poblano Pork Burgers: My Diary of Us

Roasted Poblano Pork Burgers

I'm finally back in the kitchen after three weeks of travel!  It feels so good to be cooking in my space and to be eating the way I like to eat again.  I needed last week to get back into the swing of things and switch my brain from all things baby back to recipe developing mode. Thanks for being so patient with me and allowing me a couple of weeks break from my culinary creations.  This week I'm back with a bang and made for you an amazing burger!  Summer isn't over yet, and my roasted poblano pork burgers are going to be your new favorite burger to make at home.

Grilled Pork Burgers with Garlic, Cumin, Cilantro and Lime Slaw and Spicy Oven Fries

You may not know this about me yet, but grilling is my thing.  I actually don't let my husband go near the grill.  I love it..like really love it.  I love the flavor it gives meat and veggies, the sizzle, the smells, and it is a low fat way to cook also!

While living in Texas, I had to go without a grill because we lived in an apartment and sure, I had a grill pan, but it is just not the same!  It is a great alternative though as is an iron skillet! 

Needless to say, as soon as we moved back to Louisiana one of the first things on the agenda was to go and buy a grill.  Next, was to grill something of course.  Not just anything, but one of my favorites...pork burgers!  I really hold a special place in my heart for burgers in general actually.  But where I live there is an amazing farmer's market and there is a farmer who sells the best ground pork, I have missed it so much.  Don't worry though you can find ground pork in most grocery stores and meat markets as well!

You have to try these burgers out, they would be great for your Super Bowl party this weekend! 

They are juicy and garlicky, and then you top them with the slaw and it's basically like throwing a party for your mouth.  Oven fries become the perfect side that keeps this meal on the healthier side while satisfying that good ole burger craving that comes calling on a regular basis (well for me anyway).

You are absolutely going to love these burgers, I have gotten my whole family addicted to pork burgers. 

So go out and buy yourself some ground pork and get to grilling!
