Dad’s Tavern Chili by Salad Foodie

As an adolescent I was commissioned by my dad to make a huge pot of chili for his tavern weekly, and I earned fifty cents a batch doing so!

Arroz con Pollo - Yellow Rice and Chicken by Salad Foodie

Spanish, Cuban, South American - a traditional and popular ethnic dish, this ranks among my all time favorites and is comfort food at its best!

After checking out several versions of sauerbraten, I blended a few ideas and ingredients from several and came up with my own time-saving formula! The roast cooks in a spicy sweet-sour…

Cajun Potato & Corn Soup (with Andouille, chicken, and shrimp) by Syi

I made this in culinary school during "refrigerator madness day," in which we had to come up with a soup & garnishes using only the ingredients that still remained in our class fridge at the end of the week. We then dished it up buffet-style & invited…

Garden Fresh Brine Roasted Chicken by Smokinhotchef
