Skinny, Mini Reuben AppetizersHere’s a classic deli sandwich turned into a bite-sized appetizer. I love serving these whenever I’m having company over or even as a fun lunch. They would be terrific to serve while watching football, too! These little gems are so delicious and simple to make. You can prep them in advance and pop them in the oven, just before… |

Green Beans, New Potatoes and BaconA delicious side to serve with meat, or as a main luncheon dish with salad. Honestly I could almost eat a whole plateful of this! It is so simple but so tasty. First run-through I followed the recipe exactly from Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook by Harvest House Publishers 2010. Having made it several times since I made only minor… |

Vegetable LasagnaLasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred… |

Chicken and Cannellini Bean SoupWe've been trying out several soups, chilies and stew variations, and this one grabbed the spotlight. The chicken and beans give this soup the comfort food satisfaction we crave in cooler fall weather. If you reduced the broth this would become white chili, but we opt instead for it as a soup. Note that the beans are undrained on… |

Asian-style Deep Fried Chicken WingsI have been making this version of chicken wings for years now, and they are always a hit. This is just the basic marinade recipe, so depending on my mood, I spice them up some with extra Sriracha sauce, maybe some garlic. Do what makes you happy, but enjoy and have fun with it. *P.S. this will likely destroy your deep-fry oil, so… |

Ham & Cabbage HashThis is a fast dinner-in-a-skillet recipe, and a good way to use up leftover ham or roast beef. Lots of vegetables make the meat go further and keep calories, fat, sodium and carbs to a reasonable level. A healthy and homey stand-by recipe for breakfast and/or casual dinners. |

Crock Pot Chicken StewThe 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:… |

Lentil, Black Bean & Brown Rice SoupHearty and healthy, this soup will satisfy your fall comfort food needs. I was inspired by a demo of lentil and brown rice soup by Chef Michael on Chef At Home, but he uses no recipes, just methods. When I took my turn in the kitchen to replicate it I went off on so many tangents, that this version bears little resemblance to his!… |
