You know how it is when you get a new kitchen toy? You have to take some of your old recipes and try making them in a new way. These are a reworking of Los Angeles Street Dogs.

Ham Cigars and Curried Chicken – Croquettes Two Ways

Steamed Molasses Brown Bread is easy to make, low fat, and does not require yeast. You don’t even need a loaf pan or an oven. It’s made in a coffee can on top of the stove!
How to Make Carnitas in the Instant Pot
We love Carnitas, and we love it, even more, when it’s quick in the Instant Pot. Using Taco Sauce gives great meat flavor, then finishing it in a Dutch oven makes it simple and tasty. We like it with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and beans.
May Day Million Dollar Glazed Pound Cake

Old Bay Biscuits – Great with Chowder and Soups
Old Bay biscuits go very well with chowders and other seafood. We had them with homemade Clam Chowder. I cut them into hearts because it was close to Valentine’s Day when I made them. You know, sometimes, you just get tired of round and want something else.
