This was the first time I have made either of these recipes. They were both delicious! 1-2 pounds pork sirloin chops, cubed 1 medium white onion, diced 4-6 cloves of garlic, minced 1 T dried oregano 2 T vinegar 1 T low sodium soy sauce 2 T oil (I used canola) 1 t dried chili flakes (or to your taste) 1/2 T salt or to taste 1 t pepper 1 cup chicken broth Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium high. Add pork and sear well. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about a minute. Add the rest of the ingredients, and turn up the heat to high. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or til pork is tender. Sage/Cheddar Gratin 2 teaspoons Sage 1 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 1 large onion, diced 1 package (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese (2 cups) 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup chicken broth Preheat oven to 400°F.

Another of my favorites! It doesn't get any better than combining three of these things I enjoy: cheese, beer and habanero peppers! Yum! This recipe is from my recipe box, origins unknown. 1/2 lb sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded ½ lb cream cheese 2 minced habaneros (or to your taste) 1 t salt 1 cup pale ale 1 t fresh chives 1/3 cup cilantro Combine cheeses. Pour ale over. Bake 15 minutes at 375°. Blend. Bake 15 minutes more. Mix in the rest. Garnish with additional cilantro. Serve with assorted cocktail breads or crackers. Delicious! This is a personal favorite, but not for the weak hearted!
