Beef and Bacon Chowder

Posted on April 27, 2013 by | 1 Comment

This recipe may be more fitting for a cool fall day, but it was so good that it would be great any time of year!  The kids loved it as well.  I have to admit it came out even more delicious than I expected!

If you are not familiar with Mark Sisson, then check out his site at Mark’s Daily Apple.  The site is an excellent resource for health information and recipes.  This recipe came from one of Mark’s cookbooks, Primal Blueprint, Quick and Easy Meals.  It is full of tasty recipes with simple ingredients that you most likely already have on hand.   The Primal Blueprint Cookbook is another one that I love to cook from.

Fall is here and the warmth and smell of this breakfast dish hits the spot!

Butternut Coconut Pork Curry

Posted on June 11, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Recipes posted a year ago:

Another Sunday just passed – this one happened to be my only day off for the week, and was accompanied by decent weather (as in not raining all day).  Since it was my only opportunity in the past six days (and likely the next six days as well) to get anything done outside, I knew that I needed to take advantage of every minute I could.  At the same time, we had Karen’s parents coming over for dinner – so I needed to put something together that I could get started in the morning and forget about until right before it was time to eat.  In other words, it was a perfect day for the slow cooker!

Creamy Coconut Shrimp

Recipes (and info) posted a year ago:

Not too far from us there is a great seafood store.  I love to buy my Old Bay seasoning there.  They usually have a great selection of wild caught seafood. My girls love to look at the live clams.  Stopping in the other day I saw some shrimp and decided to grab some.  I made up this recipe really quick and it was a delicious meal combined with a salad, or it could even be the “surf” in your “surf and turf” meal.

Coconut ‘Yogurt’ Chicken Skewers

Posted on January 9, 2012 by | 5 Comments

Recipes posted a year ago:

These grilled chicken skewers have a great mix of flavors, and the prep is really easy.  If you don’t have metal skewers, then be sure to soak your bamboo skewers at least 30 minutes prior to using so they won’t burn when on the grill.

Winter Squash Chowder

Posted on November 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Recipes posted a year ago:

One of the best things about this time of year is the huge selection of different winter squash that are available.  Acorn, butternut, delicata, pumpkin, and any number of heirloom varieties.  And while roasted and grilled are favorite ways to use these fall fruits as a side dish, we’ve added some dry-cured ham and made them into a hearty one-pot meal.  This is definitely one of my favorite new recipes, and I look forward to making again and again.

Shepherd’s Pie

Posted on October 17, 2011 by | 6 Comments

Recipes posted one year ago:

Here is a great “comfort food” recipe.  I have never actually made a Shepherd’s Pie before and was giving myself a big pat on the back as it turned out incredible and even got a huge thumbs up from the kids! I have had this with cauliflower mashed “potatoes” on the top before, but I actually liked this with the sweet potatoes a bit better, but either is an option.  This is a great way to use up some veggies in your fridge so you don’t have to stick with the ingredients I have listed here.
