Dad’s Tavern Chili by Salad Foodie

As an adolescent I was commissioned by my dad to make a huge pot of chili for his tavern weekly, and I earned fifty cents a batch doing so! (This was before the era of food safety regulation and inspection - I just made it in our home kitchen!) Dad had taught me how to make his chili, and everyone agreed it was in a class of its…

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…

Chicken Chili by Salad Foodie

Classic comfort foods can be made healthier without giving up on good taste. Case in point - this Chicken Chili recipe. Fat is reduced in the sautéing of vegetables and by substituting chicken for beef. But there are plenty of flavors going on here so you won't ask "Where's the beef?" Based on a recipe from Patti LaBelle's Light…

Ed's Chicago Cocoa Chili ( aka Chocolate Chili ) by Edward Heller

I like cooking and I love chili and chocolate, so if there was any way I could combine the three, I was gonna do it. So here is my quite excellent balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy, which I hope you will enjoy as well. (This recipe has been on recipezaar-dot-com since 2002, where 50 people have posted reviews of my chili…

Chili con Carne - Stove Top or Crock Pot! by Salad Foodie

Hurray for fall and chili time! This makes a batch for about 5 adult servings, but there’s no such thing as having too much chili. You can freeze leftovers or just double the recipe and freeze the extra for busy week nights. I try to make a day ahead to deepen the flavors.

Cajun Potato & Corn Soup (with Andouille, chicken, and shrimp) by Syi

I made this in culinary school during "refrigerator madness day," in which we had to come up with a soup & garnishes using only the ingredients that still remained in our class fridge at the end of the week. We then dished it up buffet-style & invited…

Veggie Dumplin Chowder by Suzi

I put this recipe on my web site for my daughter, Marie to make for her family, which was easier than telling her how to do it over the phone. The photo is hers and it looks like she added peas. I hate peas so I don't put them in. Traditionally this is as good ole Southern dish better known as Chicken and Dumplings, but being a…

Garden Fresh Brine Roasted Chicken by Smokinhotchef

Nothing's more versatile than a flavorful bird at your fingertips. There are many ways to serve this chicken, but I prefer the traditional and beautifully simple whole roasted!

Ham and Navy Bean Soup by "Cheffie Cooks"

Delicious soup using leftover Ham. Great light supper or lunch.

Chili with a Choke by Rich H

Funny sounding name - but before you run off without trying this great chili recipe...what else could I call it with the addition of delicious, quartered artichokes that provide just the right bit of tangy flavor? Oh and something else you don't typically find in chili - potato! Trust me, this chili recipe is delish!

Light Cheddar Cheese and Broccoli Soup by Kristi Rimkus

Who says Cheddar Cheese and Broccoli soup has to be full of extra fat and calories? Simply swap out that heavy cream for potatoes, and full fat cheddar cheese for 2% cheddar, and you have a light and creamy soup with considerably fewer fat and calories.
