Bacon Sausage Corn Chowder

Bacon Sausage Corn Chowder by Vanessa

I love soups, stews, and chowders....at any time of year! I threw this chowder together and it was eaten so fast. This is definitely a keeper for me to fix again! I like to make things from scratch and try to steer away from canned soups, but this one does have cream of mushroom soup in it. When I make this again I will probably…

Ham and Lentil Soup

Ham and Lentil Soup by Unknown Chef

Try buying a spiral ham for two to serve as Christmas dinner that is less than five pounds. So, I use some of the leftover ham to make enough soup for the next two days and freeze the remaining ham for future meals. I switched it up a bit this time using sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes or brown rice. Adds another layer of…

Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco

Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco by John Spottiswood

I adapted this delicious, crispy-edged meat recipe from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. Nancy and I used to eat at his restaurant, the Frontera Grill, when we lived in Chicago. I served this over black beans and rice along with my spicy Ropa Vieja recipe and it was a huge hit. This would be a great alternative to carnitas for a…

Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe

Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe by John Spottiswood

We had this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. The complexity of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy, and savory - is really amazing. It's better than 99% of the dishes I've ever been served in a mexican restaurant. I loved the carne adovada I had in Santa Fe, but I honestly don't remember any that matched this. If you try this…

Mexican Pozole I (Posole)

Mexican Pozole I (Posole) by Salad Foodie

A hominy stew with pork or chicken, this soup can usually be found where Mexican food is popular. Has a nice “heat” to it, and as with most stews, flavors enhance next day. This recipe is based on one from the Las Palmas website and requires about 1 hour of cooking. A second version of posole is posted (see "Useful Links" below.)

Homemade Ham Stock

Homemade Ham Stock by Robyn Savoie

Whenever I make a ham dinner I always make sure to save the ham bone because it can be used in soups or stocks to which it adds a ton of flavor. The ham bone keeps well in the freezer so even if I don't plan on making a soup right away I freeze it for later. Or I will take the time and make the stock in advance and freeze that in…

Pork and Hominy Stew

Pork and Hominy Stew by Robyn Savoie

This savory combination could be described as a posole -- a thick, hearty Mexican soup traditionally served as a main course at Christmas. Sprinkle shredded radishes over the top for a festive presentation.

Pork, Sweet Potato and Poblano Stew

Pork, Sweet Potato and Poblano Stew by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one on Simply Recipes, and it is really delicious. I doubled the onion, garlic, poblano, cumin and sauce from her recipe, and quadrupled the sweet potato. The result was a delicious, juicy stew that had a nice balance of vegetables and meat. I'm sure the original recipe is great too, but I'd highly…

Slow cooker pork stew - chile verde

Slow cooker pork stew - chile verde by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an easy and tasty version of chile verde that I adapted from a slow cooker cookbook. This keeps very well for 3-4 days, and honestly tastes as good if not better reheated. You can also serve it inside tortillas as a taco or burrito for a second meal. Enjoy!
