Scouse by Colin Callan

Scouse was brought to Liverpool by Northern European sailors, it was originally called Labskause or lobskause. This was finally shortened to Skause and over time the spelling changed to the more Anglicised version we know and love today, Scouse. Interesting Note: The Danish name is "skipper labskovs". In Swedish, it's "kallops".…

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 Chicken Stew by John Spottiswood

I adapted this from a popular food network recipe and served it at a ski trip up in Tahoe. Everyone loved it. We served it as leftovers alongside the another meal the next night, and almost everyone had a second bowl and said it tasted as good if not better! This is pretty similar to posole, but perhaps a bit less soupy than most.…

Ojo de Cabra Estofado (Eye of the Goat Bean Stew) by Ken Hulme

Here's my take on a traditional Mexican stew, using Ojo de Capra (Eye of the Goat) heirloom beans. This is a stew; it has beans in it. Chile does not contain beans.

Crock Pot Chicken Stew by Salad Foodie

The perfect Sunday evening supper, this basic stew is pure comfort fare! What I enjoy particularly are the ease of preparation, large chunks of chicken, and the light yummy gravy. Based on a recipe from Taste of Home Magazine, this recipe uses boneless skinless chicken thighs. I have used a meaty turkey thigh in place of chicken:…

Millet Porridge with Pumpkin by Mary Shaldibina

Grandpa's Goulash by ArcticGypsy

This is a family favorite from long ago, and still brings happy faces to the table. Even my young nephew (who typically hates vegetables) will smack his lips. This recipe makes a lot, so plan to freeze, or can, the leftovers. I usually make a double batch, then freeze the remainder in a combination of meal size, and single serve, food…

Five Star Shrimp Etouffee by Chef Doug

If you've never eaten authentic creole, you truly don't know what you're missing. I discovered this Louisiana favorite while residing there and it was love at first bite. This dish has a very unique taste that defies description. It is very easy to make, and you're doing yourself a serious disservice if you don't give it a try. You…

Easy Lamb Stew by Shauna Duncan

Super easy and amazing lamb stew--I would double the meat next time but nobody complained. :-) This would also work with any other meat on hand.

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.

Easy Sweet French Cassoulet by Robyn Savoie

The French know cassoulet as a classic, long-simmered dish consisting of white beans and various -- sausages, pork or goose. This version is a less time consuming spin on the classic. This is my adapted version from the original. I made this one based on what I had on hand in the pantry. Both are good, it depends on what you're…
