Guacamole Tex-Mex by Amos Miller

Super simple - fast - packs just enough punch. It will be the best you ever tasted. Bring on the cervesas, margaritas - and lots of quality tortilla chips! Just like Chipotle - but homemade!

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Cajun Crowder Beans

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos Miller

Also known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…

Fried Zucchini Circles

Fried Zucchini Circles by Pam Solomon

Not many recipes inspire me to deep fry, I hate the clean up! But I made an exception for this one! I saw this recipe on The Pioneer Woman's website a couple days ago. Since I have an abundance of zucchini coming from my garden right now, I had to try to make a gluten-free version of it. Don't they look amazing? I used my all-purpose…

Perfect Bread and Butter Pickles

Perfect Bread and Butter Pickles by Farrell May Podgorsek

Not too sweet and not too sour, these old-fashioned pickles are crisp and crunchy. " Better than Grandma's" is the comment I most often hear. They are great for snacking on and perfect on a hamburger or hot dog. Refrigerator pickles are quick to make and will last in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks. I use a mandolin style slicer…

Gluten Free Almond Crackers

Gluten Free Almond Crackers by Farrell May Podgorsek

These crackers are full of flavor and much better than store bought. They are a snap to make. I use a silicon mat to roll the dough out on. You can also use a sheet of parchment paper, but I encourage you to invest in a Silpat. They last forever and are very useful. The key is to roll the dough very thinly. You can vary the herbs- use…

Creamy Chicken and Vegetables

Creamy Chicken and Vegetables by Farrell May Podgorsek

This recipe uses the Creamy Sauce-Dairy Free that I recently posted. I lightened my traditional Chicken and Dumplings recipe by using the Creamy Sauce rather than the traditional fat and flour based roux. It was the perfect meal for a cold winter night, and everyone agreed it was just as good as the original version. This is a perfect…

Pâté with Bacon & Onion

Pâté with Bacon & Onion by Amos Miller

A "pâté" (pah-TAY) is simply a paste of meat and a fat. It can be super fancy, or, as in this recipe, super simple. Guaranteed to impress your guests. Try this next time your are looking for a 'fancy' or special appetizer that requires next to no effort. This is a basic German-style country dish. If you can't obtain a smoked liver…
