Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo

Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo by Sofia Reino

So as I said in my last posting I am doing a Gumbo. I found out my dear friends from IA actually sort of follow Emeril's recipe, then I found through halfhourmeals.com a true Louisiana lady who also had an interesting recipe in her blog "First, Make a Roux". If you are new at making a Gumbo, I would seriously check her blog as she…

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb by Smokinhotchef

This may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale. The lamb is seasoned in a brine refrigerated for up to 36 hours, so it is essentially a make ahead dish. There is no need for further seasoning…

Mom's Homemade Peach Dumplings

Mom's Homemade Peach Dumplings by Syi

This recipe was given to me by my mom. When it comes to pies & cobblers, I'm considered a "crust snatcher" as I love the crusts more than the fruit or filling; and when I see a cobbler, I'll cut into it and lift out all of the crust and just leave the fruit and juice for everyone else (if given the chance)! LOL!! So this recipe is…

This is another wonderful roasted chicken with a myriad of delectables stuffed under the skin and inside the bird itself.

Ed's Chicago Cocoa Chili ( aka Chocolate Chili ) by Edward Heller

I like cooking and I love chili and chocolate, so if there was any way I could combine the three, I was gonna do it. So here is my quite excellent balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy, which I hope you will enjoy as well. (This recipe has been on recipezaar-dot-com since 2002, where 50 people have posted reviews of my chili…

Beef stroganoff over buttered noodles

Beef stroganoff over buttered noodles by Rachael Monaco

I've become addicted to The Food Network's newest entry, The Cooking Channel. The best part of The Cooking Channel is they rerun old episodes of Food Network shows. This happened one day last week, and I happened to catch Food 911: Tastes of Russia. I felt inspired to make the beef stroganoff over buttered noodles and roasted beet &…

Navarin d'Agneau

Navarin d'Agneau by Phil

Wonderful spring lamb and vegetable stew that defies stew stereotypes. This is a remarkably light and fresh celebration of the best spring foods. Unlike winter stews (tasty, but the meat and vegetables are all the same mushy, pasty consistency) this recipe has you cook the meat and the vegetables separately, combining them at the…
