Spicy rich Mexicali Pasta Salad … and not forgetting delicious! This hearty filling vegan salad will satisfy meat lovers too. After a stressful day at work sometimes I need food with a crunch. Ha! This is another versatile recipe. Making small substitutions to make it your own is a good thing. Enjoy!
These stuffed bells are versatile. Breakfast, lunch or dinner menu works … even a side dish. Without the egg this is a perfect vegan dish … My daughter will be pleased.
I’ve teamed up this family brunch with Pan Toasted Bread and Linguica. The guys will go for the linguica. Me too. Oops. This Pan Toasted Bread and Linguica is an easy quick fix and can second as an appetizer too.
While you might find this a great substitute for the traditional corned beef and cabbage dish on St. Patrick’s Day, make no mistake, this is not an Irish dish. In fact, the cabbage in this recipe is the star and the meat is used as a garnish.
This was my mother-in-law Betty’s recipe … You know, passed on to me to make my husband very happy. Does this still happen today … mothers-in-law passing recipes to daughters-in-law? I enjoyed it! Her cooking was so different from all I had experienced.
As for my three sons, they are quite good cooks and occasionally they will ask for a recipe. Or better yet, share a recipe with me! In fact, Stephen, where is that barbecue ribs recipe you promised me?
Betty was amazing in the kitchen. I can’t say she was really into cooking all that much when I knew her. But she could put a few ingredients together quickly … I’d think to myself … hmm, really? It was always delicious!
I hope you will enjoy this soup recipe with brisket garnish.
This Boston Clam Chowder is definitely best on cold gray days. It might even be better while appreciating ocean breezes. But since I live inland I’m enjoying this rich and filling chowder during our rainy weather.
Rich is understating. This is butter, cream and bacon rich.
You’ll love it!
Great day for a brunch! And the chickens are laying more than we can consume. What a great excuse for this superb Italian Scramble accompanied with savory Onion Biscuits.
If you haven’t time to prepare this the first thing in the morning it makes a wonderful dinnertime meal.
The scramble is a no meat dish. Italian ham can be added if you desire. Either way it is delicious.
Give it a try. I’d love to hear.
This is a simple one with only three main ingredients. Meant to be a main dish but certainly could be a side without the linguica … making it vegan. Kale is often used in Portuguese cuisine and doesn’t fail to be the delicious star.
The preparation and cooking is short in duration making this a perfect after work meal on these cold winter nights.
Just in time for tonight!
This salmon dish is so easy. Team this with a great wine and the dessert from my previous post and you have an unforgettable Valentine’s dinner.
Cook fresh salmon … see my very first post if you need a little help. Or use that Costco frozen salmon fillet and cook according to the directions.
These Chili Beans have a little bit of everything … definitely a main dish. Spicy and hot if you are into it. OR the dish can be tamed. It’s up to you. This recipe is easy but does take time to cook to bring out the flavors. After the first few steps it can be cooked in a crockpot if you have one large enough. This recipe tends to grow. I suggest an eight quart stock pot just to provide even heating and easy stirring … no worry of spilling over.
This vegetarian recipe whips up in minutes. So, you’ll have plenty of time to see a movie in the same evening … at a theatre or in the comfort of your own home. Have you ever heard of The Shell Seekers with Maximilian Schell?
Root soup is a winter necessity on these icy cold days. It’s a little early for Saint Patrick’s Day but you might find this served along with corned beef or beef brisket. It’s just a wonderful meal all alone. Light enough to have several servings.
Eat it chunky like this or use a blender to give it a creamy texture. I prefer it this way.
If you use prepared vegetable broth this can be ready to eat in 30-40 minutes. I like making my own vegetable broth … my recipe in the previous post. This is a rich recipe not requiring butter or chicken broth. Absolutely the best!
