On this Crockpot Sunday, we have a guest post from Ready Set Eat with a beautiful and tasty recipe… enjoy. We’ve officially entered the middle of summer and if you’re not dreaming of air conditioning, you’re probably dreaming of lounging on a beach in Mexico. If so, there’s good news—it might not be too easy […]
Fiesta Chicken with Rice and Beans ~ Crockpot Sunday Guest Post by Ready Set Eat
Curried Hamburger Goulash/Soup
This Saturday evening’s recipe can be eaten as goulash or soup (add more broth when serving) and is a super quick and easy meal to put together for your family. Recently, I made this soup using the ingredients listed in the variation below. The flavor was milder and surprisingly, we found that we actually preferred […]
Frogmore Stew, Also Known as Beaufort Stew (and Lowcountry Boil): Another Gullah Cuisine Recipe
This Saturday evening, we’re serving up a favorite Gullah Cuisine recipe, Frogmore Stew, (also known as Beaufort Stew AND Lowcountry Boil), at least for The Lucky Wife and me. The Well-Fed Son thought the corn was spicy but loved the shrimp and sausage. Go figure. The Well-Fed Daughter, with her inexperienced palate, did not care […]
Classic Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe {With a twist}
Everybody and their brother has a recipe for vegetable beef soup. The recipes vary as much as the cars that you see on the highway, but MINE is different. ;) It is different because it isn’t really, technically my recipe. It has its origin with my mom. I made vegetable beef soup a few times […]
Southwestern Smoked Pork Stew Recipe
This dish was inspired by a soup I had about 15 years ago in a southwestern style restaurant, named South by Southwest. I believe they called the soup Tumbleweed Stew. This restaurant’s soup was wonderful; however, it was thin, brothy and lacked, in my opinion, ingredients. My version is packed with goodies and is more […]
One-Pot Recipe: Stovetop Hoppin’ John
This one-pot recipe is yet another product that originated out of our experience with the elimination diet for food sensitivities. It is a simple, hearty and well-flavored dish, so much so that we feel it is a keeper regardless of what type of diet one is on. Traditional Hoppin’ John is field peas cooked with […]
One-Pot Recipe: Lamb, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Jumble
This Saturday evening’s one-pot recipe was created while our family was on an elimination diet for food sensitivities. The ingredients are an odd combination, to say the least. While on the elimination diet, the array of ingredients one can use is very restricted. Our nutritionist provided us with a list of what she would allow […]
Chicken Perleau
 My apologies for being a day late with our Saturday evening recipe. I have been under the weather for a day or so, on top of being called into work all day yesterday. I hope it will be worth the wait. Today’s recipe is the third recipe in this month’s theme of “Favorite Childhood […]
