This is a recipe for a cookie I have never heard of. We've all make cornbread in all of its forms, but I haven't made a corn cookie. I was intrigued by the concept. Going through the recipe I noticed one thing, most of the corn flavor comes from a can of creamed corn. Sounds [...]
I am writing about a chili that I found that was just plain interesting. I've done chili with lentils before, but not with the base of carrots. I made chili with beets, why not with carrots? I can see this being a little sweeter than your typical chili. Carrots can make a wonderful base for [...]
Did she just say "Fruitcake"? Yes, I said fruitcake. You may be wondering why I am doing a recipe for fruitcake. It's after the holidays, and the most reviled cake on the planet, isn't it? Go the the United Kingdom and it is served all over and is even wedding cake. I think you are [...]
Welcome to the new year! Welcome to another black eyed pea dish to wish us all good luck for the upcoming year. We will need it with COVID staying firmly in the mix. For those who are new to this blog, I pick a black eyed pea dish as my New Year's good luck charm. [...]
Whipped shortbread sounds like an oxymoron. Shortbread is not known for being light and airy. They are typically a dense crumbly cookie that's wonderfully buttery. So when I saw a recipe for Whipped Shortbread, I was skeptical but intrigued. It's the same basic ingredients, but the butter and sugar are whipped. I am all over [...]
As I have done in years past, I take the dark meat from a whole turkey and make it into a stew. Usually I cook the breast portion for Thanksgiving. This year, I didn't get the chance because I was too busy. However, I did find a low sodium whole turkey that I am cooking [...]
Can you believe it? I still have beets to use up. Going through this journey of beet recipes, I am very surprised at what a beet can be used in. This recipe I am modifying is a Sri Lanken Beetroot Curry from the Flavor Blender. Who would have thought of using a beet in a [...]
I never thought I would ever be using beets in a chili. It's one of those ingredients that doesn't scream "chili" to me. No matter. I still have extra beets to use up and am game for something new. I am starting with a recipe from Wholesome Family Living for Superfood Chili. This chili recipe [...]
Here we go again with another beet recipe. It is true, I hate to waste food. While Tony was sick, he planned to juice these. The juice upset his stomach. The soup I made with some of these beets was a hit. Now, I'm going to make a cake. I love to find new ways [...]
Tony is going to stay on the soup thing for a while. I have some more beets to use up. He tried to go back on the beet juice kick when he wasn't able to eat anything solid. It wasn't pretty. So, this recipe is more about being creative with the ingredients I have on [...]
