Let’s Eat Stew, Chunky Mexican Stew! Cold weather makes one think of soups and stews and certainly those of you in the Midwest and Northeast most likely are making delicious soups regularly. This Chunky Mexican Stew is so good that it doesn’t have to have cold weather to enjoy it. I like this stew year…
Almond Peach Jam! I love making jams and jellies and in Florida, we have fresh fruits almost all the time. However, this jam can be made anytime of the year…all you need are peaches and most supermarkets seem to have them in their produce aisles. This recipe is adaptable…use whatever fruit you have…apricots, pears, …just…
Soups, Stews And Chowders! I grew up in the Midwest and we had a lot of soups and stews…especially in the Winter. Chowder was an occasional dish, because Mother liked to add catfish and this made it more of a bisque, than a chowder and our Father didn’t care for it much. So, just what…
Butternut squash soup is not a soup that I grew up with, ….but this New Mexico Butternut Squash Soup has earned it’s place in my recipe box! My grandma on my Mother’s side (or my Mother’s Mother), made this soup… but I usually turned up my nose when I watched her prepare the squash. However,…
Navy Bean Chicken Chili is one of my favorite Autumn/Winter soups. I call that “Comfort Food”!!! No, the frost is not on the pumpkin in Florida, but the weather is indeed cooler….we woke up to 48 degree temperatures the other day and the evenings are definitely getting cooler. A plus for living in the Cape……
Cuppa Won Ton Chicken! These are not a liquid won ton which is kind of what my title suggests. Most people refer to a “cuppa” as a cup of tea or other strong beverage! I like to refer to these easy to make little cups of chicken goodness as a cuppa because they really taste…
Guacamole! Ole! I have been making this recipe for guacamole for many many years. I have modified it a bit from time to time…but the basics remain the same. Many times, I cut the recipe down as I make only enough for the Captain and Me! I use a molcajete…(Pronounced mole-ca-het-ti) that is made from…
Pico de Gallo….such a simple combination of flavors of items you most likely have in your pantry. If I am having any kind of Mexican food….you can be sure there will be pico de gallo sitting on the side to add to any dish. I love it sprinkled on the top of enchiladas, tamales, chimachangas,…
Salsa Anyone? My Dancing Friend Across The Pond just visited the Captain and I for a lovely 12 days! She Arrived on the 20th of September and flew off to London on the afternoon of the 1st of October! I am sure if she is reading this post….she will assume I will be discussing…
Delicious Every Time Egg Drop Soup recipe… did not come from either of my Grandmothers or my Mother. However, it did come from “A” grandmother…just not mine. When we lived in Seattle, the sweetest little (and I do mean little) Chinese young woman became my nail tech. She worked in a very upscale beauty…
Yummy Strawberry Glaze! Strawberries are so abundant this year and here in Florida they are available year round as they are in most supermarkets. I can remember when the only way to have strawberries in the Winter in the Midwest…was to buy those white cans of frozen strawberries out of the freezer section. Uh Oh!…I…
Cinco de Mayo may not be known to everyone…and *USA Today summed it up real well! *”For many Americans, Cinco de Mayo means enjoying Mexican food and probably a few margaritas as well. But Cinco de Mayo, which means May 5 in Spanish, is probably one of the most misunderstood Mexican holidays. This day is not Mexico’s…
