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…

Mexican Style Beef Stew (Crockpot)

Mexican Style Beef Stew (Crockpot) by Denise Sherin

This is a nice spicy change from your everyday beef stew. You can spice it up more if you like. My son loves to eat it with tortilla chips and some cornbread. You can garnish it w a dollop of sour cream on top and/or shredded cheddar cheese and fresh chopped cilantro.

Amish Pork Roast w/ apples and sauerkraut (crockpot) by Denise Sherin

Growing up in Pennsylvania I had the pleasure of being able to go to Lancaster Pa, which was a huge Amish community. There food is simple and delicious. This is a favorite of mine. There is a Tablespoon of cinnamon in this recipe, it's not a mistake, it sounds like alot but it does not over power this dish.

Caribbean Citrus Pork Roast

Caribbean Citrus Pork Roast by Robyn Savoie

Take a vacation from the ordinary marinated pork loin. This exciting blend of island flavors makes an extraordinary roast. This recipe used a rolled roast, composed of 2 boneless loins tied together. If a single loin roast is used, the cooking time will be about 25 minutes per pound. Heavy, resealable, plastic…

Tostadas with Shredded Pork and Spices

Tostadas with Shredded Pork and Spices by Robyn Savoie

Crisp fried tortillas topped with re-fried beans and spiced shredded pork make a delectable treat and are often sold from stalls in Mexican City streets. I like to switch between black and pinto re-fried beans for variety. I also found you can easily make this using a crock-pot/slow cooker; see tip below.

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs by Robyn Savoie

The cool weather has finally arrived. Goodbye fresh corn and tomatoes, and hello stew! This is great in a crock-pot but if you don't have one, this is easily adaptable to the oven. The trick to slow cooking is to brown the meat first, before you put it in the slow cooker. You’ll just get more flavor that way. Turkey is a…

MY Rogan Josh

MY Rogan Josh by Amos Miller

A long-time favorite of mine, and very popular in the UK, is this exquisite dish from Kashmir, northern India. Meat-eater or vegetarian, your palate will sing the praises of Rogan Josh! I first enjoyed the dish in 1968, when a very good friend introduced me to it in New York city. I've been hooked ever since. Unlike the dishes…
