It was a special someone’s birthday! And he loves Italian Food … and Italian wines! Well, maybe all wine. What’s wrong with that?! He’d say.
Here’s a recipe that not only is Italian but incorporates that precious juice. The alcohol burns off but the deglazing it creates makes this dish irresistible.
Traditional Chicken Soup is an all time favorite but the request is for something with a little more spice. Of course everyone is hungry now. Let’s see what I have in the pantry! And how can I extend 8 ounces of chicken breast to feed 4 hungry adults? This was so quick it was ready to eat in less than 15 minutes. If using 10 ounces of canned chicken it’s ready as soon as it heats through. And taste? My tasting critic, “it’s the best Chicken Tortilla Soup I’ve eaten.”
I’ll be providing a few substitution ideas too.
Here’s another Tortilla Soup Recipe for you to try!
One chili that works as a comfort food. Yep, it’s a bit hot with spices but the potatoes and hominy tame it into a comforting deliciously warming winter (really anytime) chili. A healthy abundance of spices take this off the chart! Give this a try. You’ll love it!
When I introduced Roselyn’s Chicken or Pork Adobo recently there were two other dishes pictured … A delicious Chicken Soup (eliminate the chicken for a delicious medicinal ginger version) and Chop Suey. Enjoy these wonderfully simple recipes. Thank you again my friend.
Another great Filipino recipe from Roselyn, my neighbor, who loves to cook as much as I do. This is an amazing chicken and shrimp version. Delicious! And if you aren’t careful you might find yourself saying,”I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!”
Roselyn’s putting the recipe together for me. I hope she doesn’t keep us in suspense long!
Here it is! Roselyn’s Pancit!
Delicious Filipino Dish with few ingredients! I like the idea of pork ribs instead but suit your meat preference. Because this recipe uses pickling spices I relate the meat taste to some Portuguese dishes. I just love it! Enjoy! And thanks Roselyn … Hoping for more.
Here is another adobo recipe you may enjoy. And I love Margaret’s Spareribs too!
When family visits you put together their favorite foods. Then you find peas are no longer a favorite. Oops! After this, peas are back on the menu. It says a lot about this recipe!
Today begins my Vegetable Salads for Days posts. I’m starting with recipes of times past (mom’s) and moving forward to more calorie-concious salads & dressings. All are great and have a place. This layered salad is perfect especially in this single serving jar. All the ingredients can be visualized … Important if your family is like ours. Not everyone likes all the ingredients. These single servings are fun and can be individualized. Truly very little extra time on your part. Especially great for those barbecues or picnics!
We’re getting a head start on this celebration. Believe me, we don’t need an excuse to celebrate with these recipes! Mexican cuisine has always been an important part of our family’s food history. I hope you enjoy viewing some of our favs and give them a try. Search our Mexican Food for more!

Here’s the second chicken from my discounted double pack. Truth is the second one had a bit of an off smell when I removed it from the package, and although it was not over the draw date given I decided to take it back to the market for a replacement. This is the replacement. Chicken and fish are the two food products I go the extra mile to attain the very freshest.
This recipe is especially for those on the fence about chicken. Often chicken, especially breast meat, is overcooked with dry tasteless results. The richness of this dish will please even the most ardent beef eater.
