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…

Creamy bisque soup in an edible bowl. Great meal for a cold day!

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…

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…

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.

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…

Chili, Ground Beef with Options by Just Cookin'

This is a ground beef chili that warms your t.ummy when it's cold outside. It's also good anytime you want chili on hot dogs or another dish. We like things spicy but I know not everyone does. So, I'm gonna put notes that offer options for various ingredients. There's very little actual preparation. Also, because the fat is washed…

Mediterranean Steak Ragu by Smokinhotchef

Beef is joined with flavors of the Mediterranean and blissfully simmered into taste-bud matrimony. Garam Masala makes a simple yet outspoken appearance featuring spinach. The richness of olives and hearty tomatoes meld together for a dish that can stand alone or smother aromatic jasmine or basmati rice. Also, this dish can be…

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!

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…
