My husband loves southern veggies. He could eat a veggie plate every night for dinner and be happy. One of my favorite veggie dishes that he makes for us is his Beefy Veggie Soup. It tastes so amazing that you would never believe how easy it is to make. We always have it with some nice hot cornbread on the side. Yummmmmm….
I’ve seen a lot of different versions of recipes for Salsa Chicken in the crockpot floating around and decided to throw my two cents in! Here’s my version – it’s easy, healthy, and full of flavor. I hope you enjoy it!
My brothers and I calculated it once, and I think we came up with the figure of 85% – we’re 85% Irish. My maiden name has an apostrophe in it, and the only bad part about being married is that I miss my apostrophe. 😉
I like to put together a special Irish menu every St. Patrick’s Day, and a couple of years ago I was inspired to try to re-create the amazing bowl of Guinness Beef Stew that I enjoyed one night in a pub in Dingle, on the west coast of Ireland, when I was studying abroad there. Now it’s become one of my favorite slow-cooker recipes!
Chili is just one of those classic dishes that reminds me of a chilly fall night when I was a little girl. No one’s recipe will ever compare to my mom’s because mom’s chili is the culinary manifestation of comfort and warmth. Mom always serves it on a bed of rice, topped with shredded cheese. It’s just the best.
My mom has been making this dinner for our family my whole life. She got the recipe from her good friend Bobbie Kearns. The chicken comes out so tender and the creamy tang of the buttermilk sauce compliments the chicken AND the rice and veggies that you choose to serve it with!
We invited some friends over for a fondue party on Saturday night. I looooove fondue – it’s fun and interactive and festive! Here are some tips and a recipe for classic swiss fondue that has been adapted from Fondue: Great Food to Dip, Dunk, Savor, and Swirl by Rick Rodgers.
I wanted to make a lighter supper for hubby and me since we’re hosting a fondue party at our house tomorrow night (don’t worry – I’ll blog the fondue too!). Shrimp was on sale at the grocery store, and I actually found some really nice looking tomatoes, so we decided to “wing it” from there. We ended up with a fantastic, light, delicious dinner.
This recipe is very versatile and is a great one for using up leftover chicken or turkey. It’s also a pretty lean and nutritious meal that could easily be frozen so that you can have it ready to heat up on a busy winter evening! My dad is absolutely in love with this stuff.
So I came up with these tasty little treats using some leftovers we had on hand at my mom and dad’s house this week. Mom came up with the name. These sandwiches were a great, hearty dinner.
There is nothing like a hearty pot pie to warm you up on these dark, rainy winter nights we’re having. My little brother got me this wonderful cookbook for Christmas in 2007, and I have been loving it over the past couple of years.
