Listed below are this week’s and last week’s posts. You can jump to any of the recipe posts by clicking on the recipe titles.
This Week’s Posts
This delicious recipe can be an entrée or a side dish. Canned tomatoes, enchilada sauce, green chiles, vegetable broth, corn and black beans are added to a slow cooker. Then everything is mixed together and seasoned with salt and pepper. Cubed cream cheese is placed on top before covering and cooking for 7 hours. After cooking for several hours, everything is stirred together and then orzo is added to the slow cooker. Then the orzo cooks in the slow cooker until done.
This chicken recipe is easy to make for a weeknight or fancy enough for a weekend meal. Black beans, sliced onions and peppers are placed in a baking dish. Then chicken seasoned with garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper is placed on top of the vegetables. Next red enchilada sauce is drizzled on top of the chicken. The pan is covered with foil and baked in the oven. Once the chicken is cooked, more enchilada sauce is poured on top of the chicken and cheddar cheese is sprinkled on top. Then the pan is returned to the oven until the cheese is melted.

This slow cooker recipe is easy to make for a weeknight or can be served as a Sunday dinner. Cubed steak, onion and sliced mushrooms are added to a slow cooker. Then chicken broth, cola, dry onion soup mix, garlic powder, parsley and pepper are mixed together and poured on top. After cooking for 7 hours, the beef and mushrooms are removed from the slow cooker. Next dry country gravy mix is added to a saucepan with all of the liquid from the slow cooker. Once thickened, sour cream is stirred in the pot. Then beef and mushrooms are added to the pot before serving over noodles.
April 7th is National Coffee Cake Day and making Make Ahead Coffee Cake is a great way to celebrate (to see more Food Holidays see the National Food Holidays category or look at the Food Holiday Calendar).
Assembling this coffee cake the night before, makes this recipe an easy to make Sunday breakfast treat. Butter and sugar are beaten together before adding eggs. In a separate bowl flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt are whisked together. Then the flour is added to the egg mixture alternately with sour cream. Next the batter is spread into a baking dish and topped with a mixture of brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. The coffee cake is refrigerated overnight, then baked. Icing made with powdered sugar and milk is drizzled over the cooked cake.
A quote, a comic and a plan
“I’m going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember—it’s always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you’re on your own.” – James Beard
Sometimes, you have to try a recipe to realize how to change it to your liking. I change a lot of what I cook, I look at the original recipe for inspiration, then tweak things from there. Sometimes it’s a small changes, sometimes it’s a drastic change. But I’m always willing to try a new recipe and I hope you will too!
