Easter is upon us and if you haven’t already started to think about your menu, it is time! Eggs signal spring and of course Easter. Our Easter table will not be complete without Deviled Eggs. Now that I think about it, what an ironic title for a recipe that is served to celebrate all things not related to the devil himself but related to the Resurrection. Hmmmm. Ok, I paused and did a little research. Deviled eggs were first referenced in the 18th century when the term “deviled” referred to spicy, specifically foods that used mustard or pepper. Folks in the Midwest or the southern part of the U.S. may refuse to call these tidbits of flavor deviled, opting instead for stuffed eggs or salad eggs. Some even go so far as to title these filled egg cups “angel eggs”. No matter, they are pure deliciousness and my family expects these golden goodies to adorn our Easter table. [Read more…]
Skillet Chicken and Green Beans
Easy, quick and healthy. Wouldn’t it be great if every dinner was like that?
This time of year, when gray skies continue, I especially crave vegetables. The salads of spring seem far away, but I want fresh veggies. I know they are not the fresh, farmer’s market variety but still, I gotta have ’em. Yet, dinner time is busy and time is always short.
Out comes the cast iron skillet. I love it as I can do a quick saute, then pop it into the oven to finish roasting. One pan makes it super easy. And yes, you can use that cast iron pan for veggies and healthy cooking. [Read more…]
Chicken Pot Pie
Spring is teasing us with warm days and hints of color but don’t be fooled, winter is still here. While the days are still cold and snow can still fly, why not prepare that down home comfort food wintertime favorite? Chicken Pot Pie — this recipe is one that should be prepared and enjoyed at least once each winter.
I had to tweak the basics to please my family. What does that mean? Well for starters, eliminate the traditional green peas. Our daughter has declared a moratorium on green peas….go figure. I replaced them with frozen corn. [Read more…]
Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder
Growing up in Kansas City, believe me when I tell you I have had my fair share of BBQ pulled pork. Imagine my surprise and delight when I was served pulled pork recently and it wasn’t slathered in barbecue sauce. In fact, the meat was so tender, delicious and enticing that I couldn’t exactly decide if I was eating pork or beef, all I knew was that it was delicious. The best part was that the pork melted in my mouth and was so good.
My culinary cookbook club friend was gracious enough to share her recipe. You know, it was the kind of meal that you just can’t stop thinking about and I could hardly wait to try it at home. [Read more…]
Mushroom-Bacon Quiche Recipe
Oh, the comforting, delicious flavor of quiche. I love them—and to me, they never go in or out of fashion. What’s not to love–cheese, eggs and your favorite fillings.
But, first, let me share with you a story about my friend. She has been my friend for over 30 years—and we love talking about food—but also sharing stories about our husbands, kids, and anything life throws our way. You already know Roxanne as the other half of The Electrified Cooks, but I am blessed by her friendship in so many ways, each and every day. For my birthday she took me to lunch at Andre’s, where we enjoyed Quiche Lorriane. I loved lunch, the time with Roxanne and the quiche—and the next day I was craving quiche again. [Read more…]
