Great family dinner highlighting Baked Ziti and Peanut Butter Cake. I’ve been asked by family to spend less time at the stove and more time at the table with them. Some meals it’s almost impossible but not this one. This is an amazing dinner for a crowd and no one feels neglected not even the gourmet.
Earthy beefy Chile Colorado! Thinking quickly I turned the last little bit in the serving dish into this quesadilla. That’s what I get … attempting to do a food photo while everyone is eating. Wait! Two slices of flat bread hot off the skillet, slathered with Chile Colorado, sprinkled with cheese and slapped together. Beyond expectations. Luckily I got in a couple of snapshots before this too was gone.
Check out my Red Chile Sauce here. You’ll need two cups for this recipe. It’s worth doing from scratch.
Stuffed Bell Pepper SoupMy daughter’s visiting! When I asked what she’d like for dinner … “Something healthy.” I knew what she meant! … Satisfying, great taste, few on the not so healthy calories and pretty too. Here’s my own version of this popular Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup.
You can see my big selection of soups here! We love Stuffed Bell Peppers too! Try this version too!
Check out my daughter’s Lifestyle Blog! You won’t be disappointed!
Lots of wonderful ingredients make up this savory pumpkin dish. Whether you’re into pumpkin, just a hint here, or not this is an amazing short rib treat. Impress your family or guests with this easy dinner presentation. I failed to mention this even tastes better reheated. Yes, it’s one meat dish that can be served as leftovers and no one is the wiser.
Happy First Day of Fall 2016!
You either love meatloaf or you hate it. In our family not all are into it. Since it’s one of my favorite comfort foods I’m always trying to disguise meatloaf to make it more palatable for the very few that turn up their noses. This recipe is somewhere between a Shepherd’s Pie and a loaded baked potato. Enjoy this simple variation of meatloaf.
Meatloaf may have a bad rep but not in our family. We love a meatloaf! While I’m putting together my next special meatloaf dish you might enjoy these recipes.
These Burgers are Perfect! Blue Cheese Burgers are our preference for this Fourth! These burgers can be prepared one of two ways … with a creamy blue cheese topping or with the blue cheese mixed right into the ground beef. Both recipes are delicious. The second is a little less time consuming and the first recipe gives a bit more blue cheese taste. You decide. You can’t go wrong!
Few ingredients and all about the roasting method or the pot anyway! Here’s our family dinner … unsophisticated but cozy and delicious!
Mexican Cuisine is a family favorite! We’re celebrating with s simple dinner tonight. Margaritas too! Or a cold Corona with lime or Pacifico without. Tonight’s dinner calls for cold beer. Salud! And Happy Cinco de Mayo!
But did I say pricey! Save this for a special occasion because a tenderloin roast can cost. This one was $22 a pound and weighed just a little over 3 pounds. Enough to serve 6 generously. A delicious cut of meat you don’t want to ruin. So, if your guests are into medium well or well cooked meat you may want to skip this.
This was served with a blue cheese and mushroom sauce. So delicious.
A salad and potato dish complete the meal. Yes, the slices are a bit thin … about 1 inch. Can you imagine this roast is for 6? 3 pounds! We might be carnivores … This was even too much beef per serving for us. Keep your guests’ appetite size in mind when purchasing this cut. Leftovers are good but not ideal here.
