	Braised Chicken Thighs - Death Row Meal by Carla When I'm desperate to make something different other than the "same old - same old", I go on a massive internet search. Chicken thighs, I've used them in many different ways, one of my favorite is this Pollo Guisado , I used chicken breasts and thighs in this posted recipe. However I've often made it with only the thighs. In any…	1 vote 570 views
	Quick and Easy Keilbasa Pasta Bake by Carla I have always had a love affair with polska keilbasa, bratwurst, or really any kind of specialty sausages, aside from your basic breakfast sausage. However my recipes for these seem to be stagnant. I find I am always using the same old recipes for them. Polska Keilbasa for instance is always a Roasted Rosemary and Keilbasa Casserole.…	1 vote 1054 views
	Mexican Pulled Pork - Carnitas by Carla I love America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country on PBS. It usually airs on the week-ends and I always check to see if they're running an episode that I might have missed over the years. I have only cooked one of their recipes that we did not find favorable. However these Carnitas were a complete hit. We absolutely loved everything…	1 vote 592 views
	Baked Ziti with Sausage and Pepperoni by Carla Spring has sprung here in North Carolina. Halleluiah! Some rain and mildly cool weather in the forecast, with warm sunny days interspersed. Some of the trees are even starting to bud with new leaves. I'm so happy to be past the freezing snow days now. I can even pull out my shorts and sandals now. Yay!This is a recipe I had never…	1 vote 866 views
	Cube Steaks Florentine by Carla The pics of this meal do not do it any justice. (One of these days I will convince my darling hubby to invest in a nice camera.) As with a lot of foods, you just can't get them to look appetizing. You'll just have to trust me on this one.I grew up eating quite a lot of cube steaks. They are a very economical cut of meat. Cooked…	1 vote 912 views
	Chicken Cordon Bleu for My Funny Valentine by Carla I would have to guess my life long motto should be "better late than never". Well I did promise you my sweeties favorite V-day meal, and no it couldn't be simpler. It really isn't (or didn't start out as) a french dish. It is thought to be an American take on a Swiss dish of Veal Cordon Bleu, in which veal is wrapped around the ham…	1 vote 392 views
	Quest for the Best Chicken Tortilla Soup by Carla BRRRR!!!BRRRR some more!!!I buy a variety of different types of dried peppers at my latin market, then remove the stems and shake out all of the seeds and blend them in my spice grinder into a powder and label each of them. I much prefer this to the pre-mixed "chili powder" already bottled for our convenience.IngredientsDirectionsIn a…	1 vote 507 views
	Shrimp in Garlic Saffron Broth by Carla Oh, my heart be still! This is a recipe that is dear to my heart. This is one recipe (of many) that we just adore. I first found it and cut it out of Martha Stewart Living magazine way back in 2000. I make it both in the original version, Clams in Garlic Saffron Broth and also with almost any other seafood I can think of to use. It is…	1 vote 390 views
	Giada's Short Ribs with Tortellini by Carla PagesGiada's Short Ribs with TortelliniHello everyone. Last minute Annie here. Yeah, I think if I were to have a nickname that would have to be it. I am always the procrastinator. Always waiting until the last minute. I have had all week to cook and instead I have spent most of my time here at the computer surfing. Or flipping through…	1 vote 854 views
	Classic Butternut Squash Soup by Carla PagesClassic Butternut Squash SoupSoup, soup, and more soup. I warned you.At least Michael is at work morning, noon, and night, which means that I can eat whatever I please without him wrinkling up his nose. Like I said, he's not a fan of soups, no.. not so much. Give him his favorite three, Split Pea, Chicken or Turkey Noodle (after…	1 vote 460 views
