As I’ve mentioned in other recipes, I have issues about standing very long and other people tell me they have trouble too, so I’m including info on what I did to limit standing. This recipe started off with one I found online and then I tweaked it. The original: https://cookingclassy.netlify.app/creamy-chicken-wild-rice-soup/index.html The basic amounts are as […]
Some years ago I tried this Giada DeLaurentiis recipe for turkey pot pie as a way to use leftover turkey at Thanksgiving. From the beginning, though, I was unwilling to fool with the pastry recipe. The corn meal aspect, though, gave me the idea to put cornbread batter on top and wow, do I love […]
UPDATE: after some more tweaking I discovered you can actually bake this after boiling instead of standing there endlessly stirring and also that you can freeze it. For quite a while I’ve searched for a rice pudding recipe like Kozy Shack’s but with healthier ingredients. First I hit a bunch of vegan ones that came […]
I love figuring out dishes that toss the main and sides together and leave me with complete-dinner boxes I can freeze. I took a sauce idea from a salmon dish I cook pretty often and reorganized some steps to end up with essentially a pan seared tilapis sauteed with brown rice and veggies. Due to […]
Several years ago I saw a Rachael Ray episode on Thanksgiving for which she prepared a dish with mashed potatoes and parsnips with spinach and parmesan stirred in. It sounded so good but I wanted to try using cauliflower instead of potatoes to make it healthier. Substituting 2 cauliflower heads for the potatoes, it turned […]
Chocolate Avocado Joy in a Bowl I started out with a recipe for chocolate avocado mug cake. I quickly decided the mug made it harder – especially because my mugs are mainly a collection of artisan crafted pottery mugs I’ve collected for years at fairs and artisan shops–interesting shapes but awkward for this. After the […]
My recent cooking craze has been buying bags of organic baby spinach or kale and immediately running it through the slicer plate on the food processor. I keep it in a plastic storage container, which seems to help it last longer. It makes it easier to eat in salads; no big awkward leaves, no stems […]
A while back I decided to start making healthier snacks and hunted for a good granola bar recipe. While I’ve collected some more traditional recipes to try (s00n), the one I landed on was heavier on nuts and seeds than oatmeal and I liked the switch. The original recipe turned out to be a bit […]
I put off trying to make granola for a long time. I wanted to do it but kept finding recipes that didn’t feel right. Plus… lazy …. Finally I landed on this recipe, which felt like the proportions suited my taste; I also really like it because it gives a basic formula and then you […]
I’ve posted a few times about making the switch several years ago from cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving to cooking this far easier chicken, sage and sausage dish. Nigella Lawson has this basic recipe with slight variations in more than one spot on the internet. There are several things I particularly like about this recipe. […]
