Main Dish Recipes

My family and I enjoy recipes from all over the world. Being half Persian, I have many Persian recipes, from stews to kabobs, to share with you.

We also go camping a lot so I have a great variety of camping meals for you and your family.

Pulled pork is another big family favorite, and we end up with lots of leftovers. I have many leftover pulled pork recipes, from pulled pork pizza to pulled pork tacos.

If you are looking for chicken, beef, lamb or pork recipes be sure to narrow your search down by selecting an ingredient below.
