Orange Sauced Pork Chops or Chicken by A.L. Wiebe

Warm Octopus w. Potato and Parsley by Carmelita

This is one of my favourite things year round, served lukewarm in winter or at room temperature in summer. Octopus meat is beautifully tender when properly cooked. It has a very mild sweet-savoury flavour which some compare to chicken and some to squid though neither comparison really stands up in my view. Perhaps crab or scallop…

Sunday Supper Chicken with Mushroom Sauce (Crockpot) by myra byanka

In the Texas summertime, it can be 100 degrees, or more, for weeks on end. The thought of using the oven to cook at home means I get out the crockpot whenever I can. However, in the winter this recipe works great in a dutch oven. This simple, delicious chicken dish cooks in its own sauce, so just decide what rice or potato dish you…
