Food, Family & Finds from A Cowboy's Wife
In honor of National Hispanic Month, I decided to make Barbacoa. When I googled some Barbacoa recipes, I noticed that almost of them used butt roast but that isn’t how we make it. We use Cacheta de Res, aka, Beef Cheeks and this is the only way I’ve known how to make it. And in… [Continue Reading]
Did you even know there’s a different between Chicken Fried Steak and Pan Fried Steak? Well, there is. Chicken Fried Steak uses an egg and milk batter, along with flour. Pan fried only uses flour. Which one do you prefer? I did Chicken Fried Steak a long time ago but when I started cooking for… [Continue Reading]
Nor is it healthy when topped with all that cheese but it’s very good to eat and GREAT to make when feeding a large crew. I’ve always seen this cooked in this way but would love to hear your variations if you make something similar. INGREDIENTS 1 lb ground beef ½ small onion chopped 6… [Continue Reading]
What a week huh! I shared three beef recipes with you; Beef Spring Rolls with Carrots and Cilantro, Steaks with Mushrooms, Blue Cheese & Frizzled Shallots, and Asian Beef & Broccoli With Noodles.

I’ll never forget our wedding. I didn’t know what they had planned for us back at the ranch so you might say I was extremely surprised to show up with a big ol’ lamb turning over a fire, which was our supper. Since then, we have eaten goat, beef head, tripas, wild hog, and so… [Continue Reading]
The following is a guest post: Jerry is the epitome of cooking without a plan. As a matter of fact, he secretly wishes he could participate in an Iron Chef America episode, simply because it is one place where he wouldn’t feel at all out of place. Not knowing the ingredients beforehand doesn’t make him… [Continue Reading]

Okay, so I really don’t know the name of this recipe. It was given to me by a friend of mine years ago. It’s been a cowboy favorite for many years for me. People try to take short cuts like NOT pan frying the patties but you can’t do that! It’s not the same if… [Continue Reading]
