This is a great way to make fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks with minimal effort. It does take a few hours in the oven or something that can keep a fairly constant heat such as a pellet grill. However, this time results in something that is very tender and flavorful. The sauce in this recipe is just […]
This is a rich and creamy dish that I would call comfort food. It is very versatile in that a wide variety of vegetables may be used instead of the zucchini and peppers in the recipe. I personally do not add peanuts to the mix as I do not like the crunch, and there is

This soup has the spirit of a gumbo, but is gluten free as it uses lentils to thicken it instead of the traditional roux. It is also versatile in that you can add, subtract, or swap different vegetables, proteins, or herbs. For example, the original recipe calls for 4oz of smoked ham, and I have

Instead, it was a lighter, more nuanced broth with various items added to it such as spinach and mushrooms.

This is a “work in progress” recipe meaning that it is something I’ve researched and during at least one attempt at making it found promise as something to make on a more regular basis. I like this recipe as while the initial assembly of the dumplings can take a long time, a double batch can
