Kalua Pork

East Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Kalua pork is a serious favorite around our house.  If you haven't tried it yet, you've just got to... and soon!  My mom made this from time to time growing up, and I loved it... but I had kind of forgotten about it until my own family moved in next to a Hawaiian family five  years ago.  The Wongs have thrown a Luau from time to time, and my husband and I fell in love with their Kalua pork.  After

Classic Chocolate Cake {not from a box}

April 9, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 21 Comments

I think you are going to LOVE this Classic Chocolate Cake {not from a box}!  I have to admit that in the past I have always made chocolate cake from a box mix. I had convinced myself that it was too much trouble to make a cake from scratch and since I have never been a huge fan of cake anyway, I guess I felt like the mix was fine. Well, I can now tell you that my thinking has

The Perfect Boiled Egg

March 26, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 8 Comments

We love eggs at our house and it them in a variety of ways.  Lately I have been keeping a bag of these perfect boiled eggs in the fridge to be enjoyed as a quick breakfast (we like it mashed with a fork with salt, pepper and butter and warmed in the microwave), on a salad or a simple snack. For some reason making good hard boiled eggs was a mystery for me!    I know that it doesn't seem like there

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
