Hunter's Chili by Windle Grissett

"The only thing certain about the origins of chili is that it did not originate in Mexico...Chili, as we know it in the U.S., cannot be found in Mexico today except in a few spots which cater to tourists.

Classic Vegetable Stew (Soup) by Salad Foodie

When the craving for veggie soup overtakes me I get the soup pot out and make this classic vegetable stew. The chopping is therapy for my soul, and the taste makes the effort all worthwhile. For a more substantial soup, I often add extras such as black beans and leftover chicken, pork or beef .

Goulash Soup! by Salad Foodie

Goulash: A mixture of many different elements; a hodgepodge. That description fits this soup to a T .... as in TASTY! Just the week's leftovers married in a flavorful seasoned broth.

Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller

A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…

Mouth-watering Thai-style Seabass by Blackswan

The 1st time I tried this spicy, sweet & sour fish was at a Zhi-char (煮炒) stall near my home. Zhi-char stall is a modest stall that’s found in coffeeshops where Chinese home-style dishes are cooked to your order. After that, I knew I had to try making this at home. And I did it, with just one attempt! Hooray! Hubby was full of…
