Crockpot Beef Short Ribs with Mushrooms by Salad Foodie

Crockpot meals are perfect for busy days. A little prep in the morning, then let the crockpot do its magic on boneless short ribs. By the time you return hours later the tantalizing waft of dinner will welcome you, and the beef will be fork-tender. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice for the mushroom gravy bonus.

Pear & Fig Chutney by Amos Miller

I still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked…

Perfect Pear Butter by Amos Miller

It's perfect. It's pear. I can't believe it's not butter. More like a fruit spread - or a glaze for fowl and pork! Simple to make and kid's are insane about it, you can obtain pears easily this time of year, which makes preserving a special Autumn treat because we will have Perfect Pear Butter all year long for toast, muffins,…

Effortless cooking!

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller

Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…

Porchetta by John Allred

An alltime Italian favourite roast. Great warm or even served cold the next day.

Texas Chuck Wagon Pinto Beans by Amos Miller

This dish is all about FLAVOR. San Antonio and Ft. Worth are my two favorite places to be when in Texas. This recipe was inspired by some dining experiences there and, to my palate, is as Texas as bluebonnets in Spring. Sweet and spicy, richly textured, these beans cry out for anything BBQ'd, grilled or broiled. Corn on the cob,…

E-Z TX BBQ by Amos Miller

My friend, maribeth, wants to surprise Joe with a barbeque this weekend and asked if I had a simple, really tasty recipe to share. OK. This is a Texas recipe that I have pulled out of my Wranger PBRs on many occasions and produced on relatively short notice - and there is usually absolutely none left by party's end. This is not…

Tashreeb is a delicious , balanced and nutritious dish of Iraq. I dedicate my this recipe to the Foodista team.

Venison Roast with Cranberry Sauce by Amos Miller

Venison is lean, healthy meat, and, as most hunters know, can be comparable in flavor and texture to the finest Angus beef - if processed properly in the field, after harvest, and then processed properly into various meat products. Following is a favorite roast recipe - which you can do in your crockpot - that slow cooking will…

The Twisted Cauli. by jeff holmes

A cajun twist to the every day boring cauliflower. I was looking for a new way to get my veggies but not have that classic veggie taste. So, I decided to experiment one night with a head of cauliflower and came up with the new and exciting recipe.

Fruit Trifle by miansari66

Fruit Trifle is a very sweet toothed dessert popular among children and youths.

Texas Chuck Wagon Chili (with Venison or Beef) by Amos Miller

I originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Yes, you will form a blister or two - but it is well worth it. In 1987, this chili, I'm pleased to say, was judged best by members of the Chicago Fire Department in a Chicago Chili Cookoff. This is truly a Texas Chuck Wagon Chili: no…
