Potato leek soup

Potato leek soup by Chef Paul McGovern

This is a dish I make at the end of the gardening season and everyone loves it !! I use my scallions that I have left in the garden and allowed to grow quite large. I only use the white part as you would for leeks

Pork Stew with Wine

Pork Stew with Wine by John Spottiswood

This is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing. Anyway, don't be thrown off by the fruit in this recipe. It blends in with the wine, meat and vegetables to make a luscious combination. This recipe…

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup by John Spottiswood

Cooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period. I adapted this from an America's Test Kitchen recipe and used about half the beef they called for and added the mushrooms. If you have big beef…

Crock pot lentil soup

Crock pot lentil soup by Carolinaheartstrings

I love lentil soup and I must not be alone in that love because when I used to buy canned soup I loved a particular brand’s lentil soup and it was always missing from the shelf. I cannot believe it took me so long to make this because it was so easy and so delicious. Even The Husband liked it and I never thought I would get him to…

Crock Pot Vegetable Fagioli Soup

Crock Pot Vegetable Fagioli Soup by Carolinaheartstrings

Wow! This is one easy, awesome, satisfying soup that got a thumb’s up from my teenage daughter. That is high praise my friends. She is a homemade chicken noodle soup girl.

Country style ribs and vegetables--Slow Cooked

Country style ribs and vegetables--Slow Cooked by Nancy Miyasaki

These tender country style ribs, slow cooked with tomatoes, peppers and onions, are yummy. We served them with a heap of pasta flavored with garlic and olive oil. Rice or a crusty bread, possibly even corn bread, would be yummy too.

Jambalya

Jambalya by Carolinaheartstrings

There is nothing better than a big bowl of Jambalaya on a cold Sunday evening. This recipe is so easy to throw into the slow cooker and while it cooks you can curl up with a good book. I warn you though, the smell of it might make you forget what you are reading. You can make this recipe even spicier by adding a bit of hot sauce…

Kidney Bean Chili with Turkey, Tempeh, or Beef

Kidney Bean Chili with Turkey, Tempeh, or Beef by Nancy Miyasaki

This is reminiscent of the chili my mother used to make. It is hearty and flavorful. I make it with turkey, the base recipe is for beef, and my good friend makes it with tempeh. Take your pick...it's delicious any way you make it. Good choices for condiments are diced tomatoes and avocado, chopped green or red onions, chopped…

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup by Melissa

Last week I was feeling pretty yucky and was craving some good ole chicken noodle soup. After looking at about a gazillion different recipes I decided to make my own version. My household contains myself and my boyfriend, whom is one of the pickest eaters I've ever met and even he had about 3 bowls when it was completed. So I consider…
