This dish has something of a Jekyll and Hyde component to it as if you taste it before adding the cream and butter at the end, it really transforms into a different animal after. It is also versatile as other things such as thawed frozen green beans–my pick–can also be added. In this picture, I […]
Using a slow cooker is currently my favorite way to make chicken stock. One of the challenges with making stock or chicken broth (technically, I think the “broth” recipe linked here is actually still stock since it uses bones) is keeping the liquid at the brink of a very slow boil (I aim for keeping

This is currently my favorite way to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. While it takes a bit of preparation, it cooks much quicker.

This is a versatile, tomato-forward meat sauce that freezes well. In the picture shown here, the meat is used on a tostada with some lettuce and sour cream mixed with lime juice and some water. It could also be used in tacos, burritos, scrambled with eggs, or even just put on a bun like a

The vegetables used may also be adjusted as desired. If using fresh vegetables such as zucchini, I would cook them with the potatoes and onions. The sauce may

The first time I made this, I ended up making another batch the next week, and then the week after that. It appeals to be as it is fairly simple, very quick, and makes use of items I commonly have around. Plus, it is fairly versatile in more ways than one. While no vegetables are
This should not be considered a traditional recipe, especially given that it is not cooked in a tandoor. However, it tastes similar and is fairly easy to make. Several recipes I researched recommended a much longer marinating time such as overnight. I am leery of leaving chicken in a marinade that includes lemon juice for
