Green Chile Soup
A favorite of mine. It’s a basic recipe that can be dressed to your taste or served in the basic form. Another great tasting soup to enjoy this winter!
Chicken Scallopini
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.
Instant Tortilla Soup
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!
White Chili with Chicken & Hominy
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!
Chop Suey and More
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.
Pancit
Roselyn’s Recipe
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!
Roselyn’s Chicken or Pork Adobo
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!
Chicken, Peas and Pasta
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!
Salads and Dressings
Vegetable Salads for Days
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!
