Skillet Cornbread

Skillet Cornbread

This skillet cornbread tastes great! It's slightly sweet and a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast iron skillets are versatile. They take a little bit of time to warm up but preheating the skillet allows the cornbread to cook more evenly.

Hawaiian-Style Kalua Pork

Hawaiian-Style Kalua Pork

This Hawaiian-style kalua pork method is the one used by home cooks, to come as close as possible to cooking underground, which is what kalua means. Slow-roasting the pork wrapped in banana leaves makes for a truly amazing flavor.

Yummy grilled cod with Cajun seasoning. I baste the fillets with a mixture of melted butter, lemon juice, and green onion as it cooks on the grill.
