Beef and Blue Sandwich Recipe
I cook with the seasons. I serve roasts, stews and chili in the winter and grilled chicken and salad on those warm summer days. Yet, too quickly, boredom sets in and I am tired of the seasonal fare. That happened to me recently and I was craving something different, but the snow covered grill seemed daunting. My solution was this quick and easy sirloin sandwich—with a flavor punch of blue cheese mayo. [Read more…]

Santa Fe Roasted Chicken and Potato Soup Recipe
Are you tired of leftover turkey? It is time to repurpose that turkey and save precious time on a busy evening. This chunky soup is easy to prepare and has a great, spicy kick so it tastes fresh and comforting!
I love leftovers—but my family, not so much. They have eaten as many turkey sandwiches as they can stand. That means it is time to freeze the remaining roasted turkey and create a new meal another day. I cut the slices of turkey into bite-size pieces and freeze it in 2-cup portions. Be sure to pack the turkey tightly in freezer weight plastic bags, seal tightly, label, date and freeze. While I know that roasted poultry can stay frozen for up to 6 to 9 months, I plan on using it in the next few weeks for this hot soup.
This soup is one of our favorites. I use either roasted chicken or turkey in the soup—so if there isn’t a stockpile of turkey frozen, pick up a rotisserie chicken. Either way it is great. And by roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup, it adds a chunky, stew-like texture. Best of all, it is quick and easy – so even on those busy evenings, it is simple to create a tasty, hot, home-cooked meal—and who wouldn’t like that during this busy time of year? [Read more…]
