Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff What’s in a name? Not much apparently. Making this dish was the May monthly activity for we AllRecipes Allstars. What we had to do was go to the Australian/New Zealand site, pick out a recipe that had no photo attached to it, make the dish and upload a photo of it….
Peanut Butter Pie Cups
Peanut Butter Pie Cups Like peanut butter with a hint of chocolate? You’ll love these and they are great for the summer because they are easy and require no baking either! Other day on Foodgawker, I saw the most delectable-looking peanut butter cream pie, that I wanted to dive right in. Having a huge pie…
Apple Flautas
Apple Flautas Warm and delicious…nothing beats a flauta! And they can also be made on a gas BBQ grill–great for an outdoor party dessert. Not bad calorie-wise either (if you can stop at one). I’ve always been intrigued by these ever since a neighbor gave me a bag of some from Schwan’s a few years…
Sausage and Quinoa Risotto
Sausage and Quinoa Risotto This is OH SO GOOD!! And easy too. One-pot meal. I have to admit. This was one of those suppers I threw together because it was one of those days I’d forgotten to defrost something. Sausage defrosts quickly and cooks SO nicely in a rice cooker or pressure cooker. I cooked…
Ramp Fest Hudson–Fun Day For All
Ramp Fest Hudson 2013 A great day was to be had by all at this year’s Ramp Fest Hudson, held at the Basilica on Front Street in Hudson, NY. The day was gorgeous, and the attendance was large. I was going anyway so I said I would cover this event for The Daily Meal. I could…
Banana Split Cheesecake Bars
Banana Split Cheesecake Bars No need for the ice cream parlor–or even ice cream for that matter. Here it is in cheesecake form! What do you do when you end up with TOO many ripe bananas in your freezer? If you’re tired of the banana breads and muffins and would like to use some of…
Scallion Cream Cheese Poppers
Scallion Cream Cheese Poppers What a wonderful and tasty appetizer or snack. Super easy too! I’ve been making these for years now. They are easy peasy, and mix up in a jiffy. All you need are scallions (green/spring onions) softened cream cheese and egg roll skins. You can’t eat just one! I tend to make…
Orange Beef
Orange Beef Ahhh..a favorite and even more tasty than orange chicken. Bold and beautiful. Basically, the same deal as orange chicken but no broccoli and uses beef. The authentic recipe calls for flank steak, but since that’s rather pricy, you can substitute sirloin for it. Sirloin is often on sale. To get the creamy and…
Mint Chocolate Chip Mousse
Mint Chocolate Chip Mousse If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, this is the mousse for you! I’ve been obsessed with desserts and dark food photography lately. Fancy desserts just seem to be made for this type of photography. I’m toying with it and really like the look! Now maybe I’ll invest in some…
Black and White Pretzel Mix
Black and White Pretzel Mix A bag of mini pretzels, some white chocolate, some dark chocolate and a microwave. What can be easier? This is a KINDA healthy snack mix. It doesn’t overdo the chocolates, pretzels are really a better choice than chips and dark chocolate is pretty healthy so they say. OK, I’m…
