Barbeque Chicken with Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing

September 27, 2011 by Tiffany

I know that bbq chicken is front and center, but really this post is all about the Cornbread Stuffing. It tastes like much more than the sum of it’s parts.

It starts with a box mix. Add corn, a little onion, some diced jalepeno pepper. Oh my goodness! My family loved it. It’s not spicy at all. I took all the seeds out of the pepper, so it wouldn’t sizzle our tongues. The stuffing has just a little kick of flavor from the onion and jalepeno, which is a contrast to the sweet corn taste. And it all goes great with barbeque chicken.

Bowtie Pasta with Roasted Red Peppers and Grilled Chicken

March 18, 2011 by Tiffany

We love pasta. Especially if it’s in a creamy sauce. This dish cooks in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta. You can’t beat that.

I made it even faster, by using chicken I had grilled, sliced and frozen. A quick thaw in the microwave and it was ready to use.

Slow Cooker Ham and Vegetable Soup

March 11, 2011 by Tiffany

The wonders never cease. My kids actually tried the pearl onions in this soup. And they liked them! Amazing.

This is one of those fantastic “assembly only” type recipes. Basically, you dump everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing.

You don’t have to use pearl onions, if your kids are averse (but you might give it a go, because you never know…). The bag of frozen veggies I used included the onions. There are only 5 ingredients in this soup and they can be changed up as you wish.

Ingredient Spotlight: Broth

January 5, 2011 by Tiffany

How do you like the new look of the site? If you’re reading in a reader or email, click over and have a look. Shannon at Eight Crazy Designs has done a fabulous job with the redesign. There are a few things I still need to tweak, but I’m thrilled with the new look. I’ll also be adding a recipe index soon. Well, as soon as I finish recategorizing all of my posts and since there are 619 that might take a while!

After taking a few weeks break, we’re back with Ingredient Spotlight. I’ll have a schedule to share with you soon, in case you like to know what’s coming. Today we’re focusing on broth. Canned broth is one convenience item I always like to keep on hand.

Here are a few of my recipes that use broth: [Read more...]

Bean and Bacon Soup – Ready in 10 Minutes

December 28, 2010 by Tiffany

This soup is really just assembly only, as long as you’ve got the bacon and onions in the freezer. It’s a good one to keep in mind for those nights when you really don’t have time to cook, but everyone needs to be fed.

The bacon, onion and tomatoes add a lot of flavor to the beans. It reminds me of the flavor of Italian Sausage and Bean Soup.

Chicken, Broccoli and Red Pepper Stir Fry (and 2 Tips to Fixing Any Stir Fry Fast)

December 10, 2010 by Tiffany

Stir fry is one of the simplest things to make. Providing you have a good knife to do the chopping. That’s the first tip for making it fast. You can’t be quick with a dull knife. (The Rada Cutlery giveaway is still open, in case you’re in need of a sharp knife.)

Colorful veggies and lean chicken make this a healthy dinner. It’s one of my kids’ favorites. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Ham, Broccoli and Cheddar Soup

December 7, 2010 by Tiffany

Have I mentioned my freezer full of cubed ham? We bought 1/2 a hog (my niece’s 4-H project). The place my sister takes the pig to be processed gives us whatever they decide they’re in the mood to make. Last year we had more Italian sausage than I’d ever seen. This year it’s cubed ham.

So of course, when I decided to make a cheesy broccoli soup, I had to put some ham in it too. It’s a combination that works well and makes for a filling soup. I based the recipe on the Cream of Cauliflower Soup from More With Less Cookbook.

Chicken Shepherd’s Pie

November 30, 2010 by Tiffany

I’m always amazed at the infinite possibilities for chicken, potatoes and carrots to be combined in a recipe. This variation is worthy of being repeated often.

If you have cooked chicken stashed away in your freezer, you’re only minutes away from having this dish oven-ready. (See this post for tips on cooking and freezing chicken.) Using left-over or instant mashed potatoes speeds things up even more.

My boys loved this recipe and feasted on several helpings each. Here’s what you’ll need to make it for your family: [Read more...]

Chicken and Drop Dumpling Stew (and Free Thanksgiving Menu eBook!)

November 16, 2010 by Tiffany

(There’s a free Thanksgiving Menu eBook to download at the end of this post, but first I’ve got a delicious dinner recipe for you.)

I love a good bowl of comfort food. Don’t you? This is adapted from a recipe in an Amish cookbook I have. The rich broth is full of chicken, carrots, celery and easy drop dumplings. This is the first time I’ve made drop dumplings. I usually roll and cut them. We enjoyed this version. I’ll be making it again.

Homemade Cornbread Dressing

October 26, 2010 by Tiffany

Every family has their own version of the *right* dressing or stuffing or filling or whatever you may call it. For me, it just isn’t Thanksgiving without this cornbread dressing.

It has to have homemade cornbread. Not the sweet kind. Good country cornbread baked in an iron skillet. Bonus points if you use bacon fat to grease the skillet. It has to have celery and onion, of course. And it has to have plenty of ground sage. Lots of sage.

My favorite part of making the dressing, is tasting it for proper seasoning. Taste a little. Add sage and salt. Stir. Taste. Add broth and sage. Stir. Taste again. Perfect!
