Pork and Sweet Potato Skewers and the Weekly Menu

Summertime is grilling time here on the farm, and I love trying new recipes.  This recipe uses marinated pork tenderloin, parboiled sweet potatoes, and chunks of fresh pineapple skewered together and grilled to tender, juicy perfection.

Mexican Pork Skewers #FootballFood

Pulling out the grill for a tailgate party?  Then cook up these delicious pork skewers flavored with Mexican spices and nestled between onions and sweet peppers before being grilled to perfection.  Once cooked, remove the skewers, wrap them in a tortilla along with your favorite toppings and enjoy this handheld treat while cheering on your favorite team.

Lamb and Lupin Kofte with a Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet #WorldWineTravel

Delicious lamb meatballs known as kafta in Lebanon and kofte in other countries mixed with lupin flakes made from a legume grown in Australia were a huge hit in our house, especially when paired with a Cabernet from Western Australia.  Surprising to me because my husband and youngest profess to not liking lamb but loved these kofte.

These kafta are made with ground lamb and lupini flakes.  I had never heard of lupini flakes before but I guess they are quite popular in Australian cooking.  I found them on Amazon and ordered up a bag.  These kafta are sooooo good!! I can't wait to try the flakes in other applications.

Georgia on my mind and The Weekly Menu #WinePW

So I am gastronomically visiting Georgia today.  The Country not the state.  I made a traditional dish called Mtsvadi (grilled pork skewers) and paired it with wine made from ancient grapes.
