This was a recipe I got from Plated, and it’s pretty darn good. It has a bit of nice heat to it – which I assume comes from the cayenne? Although that means you can’t use the cayenne that’s been sitting in your cabinet for 8 years and lost all its flavor. LOL The crispy … Read more
I have another recipe on here for braised lamb arm chops. (It’s the one I cooked for that dinner party of girlfriends in conjunction with a spiritual workshop.) This recipe I found on the internet is similar, but it’s got a LOT more garlic, and also adds a bit of lemon. I’m gonna try it … Read more

This is the dish our whole family associates with Christmas. It’s just not Christmas Eve unless you’re eating Norwegian Meatballs! Preferably with a side of lefse. My version is a slightly updated version of Tanis’ recipe from the Feasting Prefers Company cookbook.
