Since the summer is winding down, I thought it would be nice to do a recipe that featured some the great vegetables the we have this time of year. I found this recipe for Artichoke Ratatouille Chicken from Judy Armstrong at Taste of Home and it was a near perfect fit. This recipe has plenty [...]
Another Mexican-inspired dish for you today. According to Wikipedia, the dish originated from Puebla, Mexico. Regardless of where it started, it's a pretty good dish. Shredded chicken in a tomato and chipotle sauce. I found a great version from Better Homes and Garden where they made a mango version. I'm taking a step further and [...]
I'm not sure what possessed me to do cabbage this week, but with a recipe called Contest-Winning Cajun Cabbage, I couldn't resist adapting it. This recipe came from Bobbie Soileu at Taste of Home. I would describe the original recipe as a Cajun style cabbage roll, deconstructed. I love a great take on cabbage rolls. [...]
Since I have this lovely turkey frame from my Thanksgiving in July post, I figured I'd better make something from it. This will be the third meal I get from this turkey. The breast went to extra protein for Tony. The dark meat ended up in the Mexican Turkey Stew. Now the leftover turkey frame [...]
I had to buy a bag of Yukon Gold potatoes for the last recipe. Well, I had 4 pounds of the bag I bought. Needless to say I had some potatoes to use. So I searched for a recipe that I could make in my slow cooker that featured potatoes. I found a recipe for [...]

I'm making this post about Thanksgiving in July because I have a full turkey in the freezer from last Thanksgiving and Tony [...]

I have to confess, this week's recipe came out of a necessity to use something up. A while ago, I bought a five pound bag of frozen peaches. At the time, we had a use for them. Fast forward to now, that bag has been sitting in my freezer for months. I've been eating them [...]
This recipe was inspired by a post by my friend Aaron. He posted a great comment on his Facebook page, which said: "So...dopiaza curry.....omfg, everything in it is Sooooooo tender". I had never heard of Dopiaza Curry, so I decided to look it up. You would Dopiaza would be Italian, but Italians don't make curries. [...]
Looking at the weather this week, it's time to beat the heat. The slow cooker is perfect for this. No fuss and doesn't heat up the house. I ran into this recipe from Half-Baked Harvest for Crockpot Creamy Cashew Chicken and was intrigued. I love cashews and I've never tried cashew milk. I've heard a [...]
