Cassie’s Skirt Steak Chili

Monday, October 10th, 2011

This is another variation of my usual chili recipe, this time using skirt steak instead of ground beef. The chunks of beef were a great addition, and something I'll definitely do again, but something about this bean combination was just a bit off, so I'll try something different next ...

Vegetarian Chili

Friday, September 30th, 2011

This hearty crockpot meal is great for a fall day. I brought this into work for a potluck and cooked it all morning at my desk. One of our bosses is a vegetarian, so I wanted to make sure that he had something tasty and filling too ...

Baked Chicken Noodles

Friday, July 8th, 2011

I took some leftover chicken noodle soup from lunch today, which I made with twice as many noodles so it was not very brothy, sprinkled the top with some breadcrumbs, and baked at 375 degrees F in an ovensafe bowl for about 30 minutes. It turned out quite good, ...

Chicken in White Wine Mushroom Sauce

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

This recipe is adapted from one I found in this month's issue of Cooking Light. The article on chicken has a lot of recipes I want to try, but this one stood out as a good first shot :-) I liked this a great deal. Shaun wasn't ...

Pork Enchilada Scramble

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

This is a result of leftover pork from yesterday. It would be equally good with leftover chicken, or fresh of either one - just cook for longer. All I did was cut up one of my pork loin pieces into small bite-sized chunks, heated up a little canola ...

Paella

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

This was a pretty tasty version of paella - a traditional Spanish dish. I've written it as I made it below, but next time I'm going to use skinless boneless chicken thighs cut up, and I'm going to nestle the meats deeper into the rice to better get the ...

Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Another dairy-filled dinner that Shaun wouldn't appreciate tonight. I'll have leftovers for lunches for the rest of the week too :-) This is some great comfort food - warm and filling. Sometimes I'll layer thin slices of bell pepper in with the potatoes and pretend ...

Beef Stew

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

This is very similar to my crockpot version of beef stew, but done on the stove top in about an hour. The only real change to the ingredients is adding more beef broth since it doesn't have all day to sit in a crockpot and release juices. Beef Stew Makes 4-6 ...

Deep Dish Chicken Pot Pie

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

This is another great warm and comforting meal for a chilly day. Today was pretty nice, actually, but this still hit the spot :-) It's really easy to change this recipe up too: use beef broth and beef chunks for a beef pot pie, use up ...
