Crock Pot Chunky Applesauce by Salad Foodie

A great way to “use up” apples. I do even if they’re starting to wrinkle and wink at me. I use up any variety of apple on hand, but of course cooking apples have that nice edge, don’t they? In recent years temperatures of slow cookers have increased. I start mine out on LOW; after a while if it’s cooking too fast, I switch it to…

Smoked Ranch & Cheddar Bread by Curt Despres

With the added butter, powdered Ranch mix, and a full half cup of cheddar cheese, this is an awesome loaf of bread. But wait, I cooked it all on the smoker!

Done in the crock pot, cooks all day.

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…

Simply Smoked Potato Wedges by Curt Despres

This is a very simple way to add a side of potato wedges to the smoker while doing the main dish on the smoker. Such as ribs, a nice beef roast, or maybe a whole chicken. This will take you all of 15 minutes to prepare, and about 1 1/2 hours to cook to perfection. Depending on the spices you choose, they can be sweet, salty, sour,…

Sugar Pumpkin Curry Cream Soup by Amos Miller

We grow sugar pumpkins and after the harvest, I always break them down and puree them and pop them into the freezer for a long Winter's use. In addition to pies (of course), tarts, cookies, breads, custard and sauce - I love sugar pumpkin soup. As you can imagine, this member of the squash family is somewhat sweeter, has fewer seeds…

Farmhouse Bean Soup by Cindy McNamara

To me, navy bean soup is a requirement once the weather cools off. This is a meatless version that includes dice potatoes and crisp green beans added at the very end of cooking.A hambone or a smoked turkey wing would be yummy!

No Touch Turnips Paula Wolferts' Way by kathy gori

This seems to be the week of no touch, no stir, nearly hands off cooking. Easter became a menu of simple, down home Italian dishes that I felt I just had to share even if they're off topic from my usual Indian fare. How does someone get to be 91 years old without eating a turnip....ever? To what is that attributed? The fact that…

Preparation of traditional cochinita or puerco pibil involves marinating the meat in strongly acidic citrus juice, coloring it with annatto seed, and roasting the meat while it is wrapped in banana leaf.
