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I originally made this with chuck roasts that I would trim out and dice into 1/4 inch cubes.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…

Greek Appetizer Meatballs with Goat Cheese Tzatziki Dip by myra byanka

Mediterranean food lovers always go for these mini meatballs. Make an extra batch, as they freeze well, and can be thawed for future use.

Pork w/ Apple, Onion & Hard Cider Sauce by Amos Miller

Leaves turning, cooler breezes blowing - time for a comforting pork roast with onions, apples and hard cider. This is a deceptively simple dish that Claire Robinson turned me on to, and is loaded with country flavors. The hard cider reduces down to a savory sauce after Granny Smith apples and sliced onions are caramelized. A very…

Land O' Lakes Butter Pie Crust by myra byanka

Excellent recipe for a double crust 9" pie. The secret to flaky pie crusts is to keep everything cold, as when you combine the ingredients and roll them out, the cold butter creates pockets within the dough, that make the crust flaky when baked.

Orange Cinnamon Honey Fig Jam by Amos Miller

For something a bit flowery and highly aromatic, the combination of figs with cinnamon, honey, and orange fills the bill. This delightful jam is wonderful drizzled on all sorts of desserts - pound cake, ice cream - right down to a simple piece of toast. Slow cooked and easy to make, this treat is perfect for guests or gifts.

Garlic Sourdough Rolls by myra byanka

Light, tasty rolls with a crunchy exterior, made from scratch. Make them for sandwiches, burger or hot dog buns, or dinner rolls. Requires sourdough starter. The dough should be wet and tacky, and don't be tempted to add too much flour. Will freeze.

Clams Casino by A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis

This year when we went out for our traditional 7 fishes Dinner on Christmas Eve, and one of the items served was Clams Casino. It had been so long since I had indulged in Clams Casino, I had forgotten just how delicious they could be and how much I loved them. Sometimes I think the world tends to forget food items, they become less…

3 Ingredient Smoked Ham by Patti Fisher

We had a request for an extra easy ham dinner. So, we made a ham with just three ingredients including the ham! It was extra simple and extra delicious. The sweet comes from brown sugar. The spicy comes from the mustard. Ken prefers the horseradish or jalapeno mustard, Patti likes the spicy brown or Dijon. Patti and I have set one…

Texas Caviar (Bean & Corn Salsa or Salad) by Salad Foodie

If I need black-eyed peas for good luck on New Year's day, I prefer to get them in Texas Caviar....a.k.a. Cowboy Caviar.....a.k.a. Southern Caviar...a.k.a. Bean and Corn Salsa. There's as many names for this as there are variations. This makes 8 cups and serves a huge hungry crowd - think Super Bowl Sunday. It also keeps well.…
