Irish Stew Recipe with Lamb, Potatoes and Guinness Beer

Last year in my Asian Quesadilla with Hoisin Sauce post (a decidedly non-Irish dish), I told you about my youngest son’s (T) run-in with a wiley leprechaun. He darn near caught the emerald-clad little bugger. Just a minute earlier and we would have had him! This year, we’ll have to lay out a different kind [...]

Jan 28, 2013

Here are 25 of my favorite Super Bowl recipes, plus a fabulous Harry & David Snackbox idea for easy entertaining. When I heard the first crash from upstairs, I was rather alarmed.

Barley Stew Recipe with Caramelized Onions, White Beans & Spinach

Jan 14, 2013

I’ll admit that I get a high out of creating a vegetarian stew recipe for Meatless Monday that is filling, low in calories, packs a punch of protein (beans) and fiber (barley and spinach) and, most importantly, my family enjoys (thank you, caramelized onions). My poor husband had to listen patiently as I rattled off [...]

Fisherman’s Soup Recipe with Tilapia, Shrimp, Tomatoes & Capers

Oct 26, 2012

This richly flavored, but simple, fisherman’s soup is filled with tilapia (or other white fish), shrimp and a spicy tomato broth. Considering the depth of flavor, it is surprisingly healthy and low-fat. When I was about 11 years old, my dad and I loaded up the car, Canadian singer Anne Murray’s silky voice cued up [...]

I spent the weekend at the Joshua Creek Ranch for Georgia Pellegrini‘s Girl Hunter (more on that in a future post), and happily feasted on venison, smoked turkey, wild game gumbo and maybe a glass of wine or two (or three). Monday was a return to a Meatless [...]

Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa Recipe

Nov 3, 2011

I was patting myself on the back for this tasty stew all day long. Tasty? Oh my, yes. Healthy? You better believe it. Aroma? I’d say it gets a “15″ on a scale of 1 to 10. This recipe formed in my head slowly, starting with some chicken thighs sitting in the fridge. Then I [...]

Recipes for Winter: Soup, Chili, Stew & Curry

Nov 30, 2010

(Be sure to leave your recipe ideas and links in the comment section.) After graduating from university many (yes, many) years ago, my parents and I set off on a Zimbabwean adventure. At that time, this southern African nation was one of relative peace. While I am distressed to read about the extreme political unrest [...]
