Eat ‘Em and Weep
This chowder is quite tasty. It’s vegetarian, which is nice. Most chowder recipes have bacon or ham hock in it for flavor, so it was nice to find a recipe without those ingredients. This chowder had lots of flavor too.
This recipe comes from The New Vegetarian Grill cookbook.
Ingredients:
1 lb. potatoes, peeled and diced
2 c. water […]
Last year I made delicious latkes. This year I wanted to try a new recipe, and since -s remembers his mom making potato pancakes when he was little, we asked her for her recipe. By the looks of the recipe it looks like it came with her 1970 Osterizer blender!
Delicious!
So what’s the difference […]
Black beans and rice are a great winter food. They are warming and very filling. They are also very healthy. The key to this dish is to soak the black beans in water over night.
Ingredients:
1 lb. dried black beans
water
1 onion, chopped
7 garlic cloves, smashed
1-2 jalapenos, diced (can omit)
2 TBSP dried oregano
6-7 c. chicken or veggie […]
I love Pad Thai, and the nice thing about this dish is that it is quick and easy to make. It’s certainly a bit more adventurous than my kiddos are willing to try, so I just set aside some of the chicken for them, and they were happy with that. You could also skip the […]
I picked up the America’s Test Kitchen 30-Minute Suppers magazine at the store, because I am always looking for quick and tasty meals to prepare. There were a number of recipes that caught my eye, and this tofu dish did not disappoint. We will certainly make this dish again.
Recipe adapted from the Winter 2010 30-Minute […]
Jello salads and molded jello salads were all the rage in the 70’s and they still are for my family in the Pacific Northwest. Most jello salads I don’t particularly care for, but I eat enough to be polite. There is one exception. My Great Aunt Arlene makes this wonderful raw cranberry jello salad every […]
I’m not ashamed to admit that I like boxed mac-n-cheese, especially with some chipotle Tabasco sauce. I’ve made homemade mac-n-cheese before, and most of the time the result is disappointing.
The most important thing I’ve learned is the type of cheese you use is extremely important. Regular mild cheddar doesn’t melt well and doesn’t have any […]
Arepas are a delicious Colombian treat. Don’t know what an arepa is, then think gordita/chalupa with a Colombian flare. Delicious with just about anything, and especially delicious topped with guacamole or an avocado salad.
This recipe comes Fiesta! A Celebration of Latin Hospitatlity by Anya von Bremzen. The cookbook is out of print, and the cover […]
This is a very easy and very tasty pasta salad…even -s and TT ate it up. I think next time I’ll do without the cheddar and jack cheese and instead try feta for an extra punch.
Adapted from a recipe by Rachel Griffith.
Ingredients:
2 bottles light Italian dressing
1 lb. pasta of your choice
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 […]
We had some delicious looking eggplant sitting in the fridge that we bought from at the Farmer’s Market. I just knew it would be delicious in a curry. So I used my favorite Thai red curry recipe (made a few changes) and planned the dish around the eggplant. You could easily add chicken or beef, […]
