chicken tamale chili ~

So if you were a member of my family this year, you, like a lot of people, were given the gift of good food in a short time....an InstantPot! Now I'm not usually a gadget gift user but this appliance has changed my mind. I use the Pressure Cooking capability more than the slow cooker but whichever your preference this little machine is mighty! Pouring rain always triggers one pot meals to me so here is a terrific recipe from Tieghan Gerard @Half Baked Harvest for this easy stew/chili. This is one for the slow cooker. I've morphed it again for [...]

tahini dip ~

Entertaining at the last minute...friends just drop by to enjoy some Holiday cheer. This is a great dip for a quick go to crudite platter. But I also have it in my fridge to thicken soups and stews. It works marvelously without having to add a flour based thickening agent. I used our Sun Dried Tomato Sous Salt but once again any of our salts would work. Pictured in the other little Arte d'Italic bowl is a fresh tomato salsa that I made with those wonderful red and green veined tomatoes. ingredients 2 T Tahini 1 clove of garlic, grated [...]

shrimp curry soup ~

Another quick, colorful and full of flavor dinner that you can prep in no time and serve on a week night. I served ours over shrimp noodles that you can get at the Chinese market. What's terrific about these shrimp noodles is that after you cook the noodles in salted water you can use the water in your curry. It takes on the flavor of the shrimp noodles and it a perfect stock addition. I used the green curry paste that comes in a little jar from Simply Asia but you could use the red curry paste as well. ingredients 1 [...]

seafood chowder ~

This soup came together after a week away with the family. We needed something quick but as always ...it had to be flavorful as well. I used Sea Bass, Shrimp and Spicy Sausage. You could use Salmon, Halibut or Cod in addition or as a substitute. There are so many different kinds of sausages being made today so experiment with some other varieties. There is a chicken artichoke that would be tasty with cod and scallops. I used salsa because it already had the garlic, herbs and tomatoes as a base so it jump started our soup prep. I used our [...]

green bean casserole ~

My sister hosts our Thanksgiving feast every year....we all contribute our culinary treats... mine this year is the green bean casserole ... this year I wanted to add some different touches to the sauce. A few months ago when working on a Gumbo recipe I read that if you toast the flour in a dry skillet to the desired color you add a nuttiness and deep color to the flavor of the flour. I thought aha! that method might be perfect for the additional layer of flavor I wanted these beans to have. So I used a combination of recipes one [...]
