This is one of those meals you-never-knew-you-couldn't-live-without!

Italian Flag Roasted Chicken by Smokinhotchef

This is another wonderful roasted chicken with a myriad of delectables stuffed under the skin and inside the bird itself. The name comes from the red sundried tomatoes, the white garlic and the choice selection of fresh green herbs blended with butter and distributed underneath the skin in delicious complex harmony. This is a quicker…

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! Most often accompanied by black beans (see link) and green peas. Rice takes on a yellow cast from that most expensive of all herbs - saffron. My mom-in-law used a flavoring packet called Vigo…

Mitch's Cheese Fondue by Micheline

Fondue is a fun and informal way to gather family and friends around a table. Serve this cheese fondue with French baguette bread, mushrooms, carrots, cauliflower, brocoli, green or red peppers.

Pasta e fagioli by Frank Fariello

Pasta e fagioli, or pasta and beans, which goes by the amusing nickname 'pasta fazool' in Italian-American slang, is one of the most internationally famous dishes in the entire Italian repertoire. It is, however, a victim of its own success, and is too often made badly, very badly, which is why I would never order this dish in a…

Light Cheddar Cheese and Broccoli Soup by Kristi Rimkus

Who says Cheddar Cheese and Broccoli soup has to be full of extra fat and calories? Simply swap out that heavy cream for potatoes, and full fat cheddar cheese for 2% cheddar, and you have a light and creamy soup with considerably fewer fat and calories.

Oxtails and Mushroom Mirepoix in Red Wine Reduction by Smokinhotchef

Savory beef 'oxtails' served in yet another way no less spectacular than the last. A full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon serves as both the marinade and sauce for this recipe. Earthy mushrooms and simmering staples help bring this recipe inspired by Julia Child to it's full capacity. Perfect for a evening of showcasing the diversity of…

Polish Sausage and Sauerkraut in sauce by Therese

If your not lucky enough to be able to find fresh Polish sausage this can be made with just smoked kielbasa. Personally I put both types of sausages in this dish. I have also cooked this dish in a crockpot after I have cooked the onions, and sausages and fried the bacon in a separate pan then added everything to the crockpot…

Beef Braciole with Sunday Sugo Rosso by Bob Vincent

This is a tasty braised beef dish. I used top round only because it was on sale. Flank steak or skirt steak work as well but they were both much higher in price. The braising time well vary depending the cut and thickness of beef used. It needs to cook until very tender so be patient. The braciole is good on its own but I served…

Veggie Dumplin Chowder by Suzi

I put this recipe on my web site for my daughter, Marie to make for her family, which was easier than telling her how to do it over the phone. The photo is hers and it looks like she added peas. I hate peas so I don't put them in. Traditionally this is as good ole Southern dish better known as Chicken and Dumplings, but being a…
