I will admit this week I chose this recipe because I wanted to do some beef stew and try some more things with my Instant Pot. I managed a solid second try with making almond milk yogurt. Still working on perfecting this. Using whole milk was easy to make yogurt with. Non-dairy milk, not so [...]

Caramelized Pasilla Brisket
It has finally slowed down a bit at work. Now only working one emergency instead of two. Just released guidance here in Michigan regarding Halloween. CDC just did as well. It definitely won't be the same this year. I recommend not putting anyone at risk this year and staying home. However, tell that to a [...]
Black Pepper Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry
I just celebrated by 44th birthday and it made me think about how some people think getting old is something we just do. I am older, but not old. Some parts of aging, like grey hair, perimenopause, and some limitations to my workouts were expected. Do we really have to "get old". For every passing [...]
Chili Colorado
I saw this recipe demonstrated on Bon Appetit's YouTube page and knew I had to try it. I have more meat to deal with in the freezer, so this was the perfect recipe. I am taking a recipe from Chili Pepper Madness and making some adaptations. This includes making this in a slow cooker. The [...]
Mole Chili Con Carne with Kahlua
I decided to go Tex Mex this week. Chili just sounded good. Not just any chili. Sugar Dish Me came up with a most interesting chili. She made a riff on Chili on Carne. It adds the complex flavors of mole and a bit of sweetness from Kahlua. Kahlua is a coffee liqueur that is [...]
Zinfandel-Braised Beef Brisket with Onions and Potatoes
This recipe comes because I bought a full beef brisket to make homemade pastrami. Why am I making homemade pastrami? Because I want to make my favorite sandwich and so far I haven't been able to duplicate it. It 's called the the Tiffany Fweef Salcini from the Laundry. It's simply pastrami, honey mustard, scallion [...]
Kenyan Beef And Potato Pilau
I was really tired on a Friday night and was vegging out watching YouTube after a long work week. While I was surfing for videos to watch, I caught a Tasty video about African party rice recipes. I love a good rice recipe. I also love a good ethnic recipe. I had never heard of [...]
Beef, Brown Rice and Mushroom Soup
Looking through my pile of recipes, this one caught my attention. What's not to love about a soup with beef, brown rice and mushrooms? The original recipe from Very Well uses some high sodium ingredients like canned mushrooms and reduced sodium beef broth. Yep, reduced sodium beef broth is still too much sodium for a [...]
A healthy version of Polish Bigos
Bigos is a Polish hunter's stew. It contains bacon, pork, and polish sausage. All things that taste good, but could raise your sodium for the day through the roof. I love Polish food. With Hamtramk about an hour from here, we know good authentic Polish food. This recipe is one that needs to preserve the [...]
A Thanksgiving inspired beef stew
I was looking up a recipe to adjust for you this week, but found that I ended up developing my own instead. I had some leftovers to use. No, not turkey but the other half of a beef roast from another recipe. The recipe also called for canned cranberry sauce, which is terrible. If I [...]
