Roasted Chicken Sausages with Apples, Potatoes and Cider Cream Sauce My sister and I came up with this recipe the other afternoon as we were having that, "What are you making for dinner tonight?" "I have no clue. What about you?" conversation. It is a one pot-one pan-one hour combination that highlights some favorite fall flavors: cider, apples, sausages, and sweet potatoes. You could easily mix and match vegetables to suit your family's tastes; carrots, onions, and/or garlic would all work great. This recipe is also incredibly economical. As you know, cooking with the seasons will save you a bundle in the produce department. Apples are in season Keep Reading
Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe
Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup This Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup will quickly become a favorite recipe because it is frugal, healthy, and SUPER easy to make. After you cook the chicken, the majority of the recipe calls for throwing things in the pot. If you have beans already done, you can whip this up in about ten minutes. Including the time it takes to set the table. The enchilada sauce makes the soup a bit spicy, so mix in a spoonful of sour cream and top the soup with some cheese to tone down the flavor for kids or the spice-averse. Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup Ingredients: 1 T. avocado oil (or your favorite cooking Keep Reading
Slow Cooker Chicken Chili recipe
Green Chile Chicken Chili Football is not really my thing. I don't really mind watching games, but I couldn't tell you the difference between a tight end and an end zone. I know those are both football references, and I could think of at least 3 tight end jokes, so at least that's something. As long as the chips & dip are within easy reach, though, I would happily sit on the couch for at least one... quarter. And yes, I just Googled that. Inning didn't sound right. But something I do love is getting together with friends and family and food. Football is as good an excuse as any for doing just that. Although maybe we have to Zoom watch Keep Reading
Ground Chicken Meatballs with peanut sauce (dinner or appetizer recipe)
Ground Chicken Meatballs with Sweet Peanut Dipping Sauce I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong decade. I prefer real paper books and check out movies from the library. I write all important dates on my spiral-bound calendar and send people cards in the mail. I read magazines and rip out DIY projects or travel destinations that look interesting. These are all neatly filed away in my handy accordion folder, of course. Eh, what's that... Pinterest? You'll have to speak up. Apparently I'm 50 years older than I appear. My favorite is ripping out recipes that sound good. I have them stacked on my desk and stashed in my recipe binder (for the love, I Keep Reading
Healthy Coconut Chicken Soup recipe (Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free)
Coconut Chicken Soup My friend Rebecca has been raving about this Coconut Chicken Soup for years. I couldn't take it any longer. Friends don't let friends describe delicious food without inviting themselves to dinner, so naturally I suggested she make it for me. Last month, she did just that. I ate one bowl and decided she was definitely onto something. Then I ate a second bowl just to be sure. My husband was equally as thorough in his taste testing. Instead of dropping by for dinner each month, I decided it was time to learn how to make it myself. This healthy soup is creamy and flavorful, thanks to the base which combines chicken broth, Keep Reading
Chicken Tortilla Soup (a gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Chicken Tortilla Soup I never used to make soup. Good grief! What was I thinking? Soup is so simple to prepare and satisfying to eat. You just saute some vegetables, add other ingredients and seasonings, pour in some broth, and simmer until all the flavors come together. It can also be really economical, as soup is a great place to combine leftover meat, beans, or vegetables, adding broth to stretch them as far as possible. If I had to pick only one soup to make for the rest of my days, this recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup would be the winner. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor is outstanding. Make enough for dinner and eat the Keep Reading
Rice Bowls with Teriyaki Chicken and Ginger Slaw
Rice Bowls with Teriyaki Chicken And Ginger Slaw I have actually never read Ladies' Home Journal before or after college (apparently it no longer exists, did you know??), but my college library housed a fantastic collection of magazines. I used to take frequent "study breaks" holed up in the periodical section. Who wants to be reading dusty reference books when you could be reading recipes for the perfect layer cake or tips for carving your first turkey? Perhaps I would have been a good candidate for a home economics degree. In the end, I made it out with a teaching degree and a thick stack of recipes copied in the library lobby. Years later, this Keep Reading
