	Crock Pot Mexican Shredded Chicken by Susan Giella My crock pot has been in a box, in my storage room, for years. More years than I care to admit, really. My issue with crock pots is this: if I have to pre-cook, or brown, meat prior to putting it into the crock pot then I might as well just cook the meal on the stove top or in the oven. After all, I’ve already dirtied a pot. For…	1 vote 924 views
	Parsnip And White Bean Soup by Susan Giella Meet my new favorite soup for the past month. This soup has gotten us through the repeated snow storms we have been having here in New York. It has eased the pain and monotony of being cooped up inside, (with a potty-training-toddler!) sheltering ourselves from the bitter, painful cold outside. It has been a welcome reward after…	1 vote 559 views

	Roasted Vegetable Soup by Susan Giella Most soups I make are prepared using the same method; sauteing onions, garlic and veggies in a pot on the stove and then adding stock and simmering away. This soup turns that method upside down! I loved the concept and it sounded so easy. Naturally, I thought, could it actually be good?Oh yeah! So good. I am already a huge fan of…	1 vote 640 views

	Classic Bread Pudding by Susan Giella Prior to meeting my husband, I never had bread pudding. Given the choice, I always choose a dessert that includes chocolate. Once we got married he happened to ‘mention’ to me that his favorite dessert was bread pudding. And then for his birthday dinner he requested bread pudding for dessert. Suddenly he was doing a lot of talking…	1 vote 659 views
	Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Cilantro Dressing by Susan Giella Whenever I make vegetables as a side dish, 98% of the time I will roast them. I think roasting brings out a wonderful, deep flavor of the vegetables and they get all crisp and caramelized on the outside. And, truthfully, roasting vegetables is so easy! Just season and pop in the oven. You only need to flip them once during the…	1 vote 664 views
	Spinach Lasagna Rolls by Susan Giella I have never made lasagna. Never. To be honest, I’ve always been a touch intimidated by it. Seemed to be alot of work, alot of steps, alot of layers. Just thinking about it exhausted me. In addition, my mother makes an excellent lasagna so why would I go through all that work when she does it and does it great?Then along came the…	1 vote 890 views
