Pear & Fig Chutney

Pear & Fig Chutney by Amos Miller

I still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked…

Cheese Sauce for Beginners

Cheese Sauce for Beginners by myra byanka

Cheese sauce can be tough for beginning cooks to master. Lumps and cheese curdling are two of the biggest problems. This is a basic cheese sauce that will work for macaroni and cheese, nachos, broccoli and cauliflower, fries, as an additive to casseroles, to use for sandwiches, and more. This sauce can have things added to it,…

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…

Crockpot Apple Pie

Crockpot Apple Pie by Jann from PA

This is a recipe from a friend. Have to try it so I can cut back on the sugars, as it is too carb heavy for me. But, I am sure it is as yummy as it is easy. Good for potluck!

Light and Creamy Apple Kheer, The Queen of Puddings!

Light and Creamy Apple Kheer, The Queen of Puddings! by kathy gori

Ok, so maybe it's not the Queen of Puddings, but it sounded really good to me. Especially since I cooked it yesterday while waiting for the new Queen of the Ice Yu-Nah Kim to win Olympic gold. I must confess, I love watching the Winter Olympics. The Summer Games aren't as interesting to me, mainly because I have actually…

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef)

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef) by Amos Miller

I originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Yes, you will form a blister or two - but it is well worth it. In 1987, this chili, I'm pleased to say, was judged best by members of the Chicago Fire Department in a Chicago Chili Cookoff. This is truly a Texas Chuck Wagon Chili: no…

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…

My Grandmas Suman

My Grandmas Suman by daphne sy

Have you heard of “Suman sa Ibus” or “sticky rice in buri leaves’? Some people called it as rice cake. It’s made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk, and often steamed in banana leaves. It is served and wrapped in buli or buri palm (Corypha) leaves and usually eaten sprinkled with sugar. Here in the Philippines, Suman is a…

Apple Brie Appetizer Soup

Apple Brie Appetizer Soup by Sara Gray

Well, this appetizer soup certainly surprised me! It's reminiscent of a Brie appetizer that's garnished with apples, but made into a soup appetizer - a new twist on an old theme. Serve your guests this delicious appetizer and they'll want to skip dinner (just kidding!) It's delicate in nature and the riper the Brie cheese, the…
