Potato Wedges with Thyme and Sea Salt

“My joy at making these delights are matched by my joy in eating them. They're utterly delicious. The thyme flavors without dominating. The salt adds that extra something, the je ne sais quoi good dishes need. And the potato wedges? When placed in the mouth, the crisp exterior with a hint of chilli plays alongside the soft and warm interior and the salt on the back of the tongue. If eaten with, say, mussels or roasted chicken, it is heaven... pure unadulterated happiness.” Marion

Ingredients:


Roughly one very large, two medium or three-four small potatoes per person

Chilli oil

Olive oil

Flaky, chunky sea salt

Fresh thyme

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Wash the potatoes (they're best with peel, but you can of course remove the peel if you prefer)

Divide each potato into four or six wedges, depending on size of potato...

Taiwan Kung Pao Chicken (宮保雞丁)

This recipe here is a really good one – the Kung Pao tastes like it's supposed to! Although I feel I do need to mention that it is not completely authentic – this recipe is from Taiwan, not Szechuan. To make it more authentic, you'll have to add Szechuan chilies and peppercorns along with the marinade and a dash of Shaoxing wine to enhance the flavors. Marion

Ingredients:

500 g. chicken, in pieces 

75 g. peanuts (or cashew nuts)
Marinade:

2 tablespoons corn starch

4 tablespoons Soy sauce

Sauce:

4 tablespoons Soy sauce

2 tablespoons vinegar 

2 tablespoons sugar 

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated

4 red chilies, sliced with seeds removed

Quinoa Salad

“This is a very healthy and delicious salad. Today, people appreciate quinoa for its nutritional value. Quinoa is considered a super food. Protein content is very high, yet not as high as most beans and legumes. Furthermore, it is a good source of dietary fiber and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten free and considered easy to digest.” Cherine

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked quinoa, well rinsed

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups water

⅓ cup sliced red/white onion

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 medium tomatoes, cut into chunks

3 medium cucumbers, cut into chunks

2 avocados, cubed

2 red bell peppers, cut into chunks

1 beetroot, cooked and cut into cubes

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts

Preparation:

Put the rinsed quinoa, salt and water into a pot and bring it to a boil.

Cover and simmer gently until the quinoa absorbs all the water, about 10-15 minutes...

Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Pork

Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Pork

Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Pork

“I'm sharing this basic recipe for Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Pork with you today as a starting point for another recipe that I'll be sharing soon - one that utilizes the pork in a super yummy way. This pork, however, can be used for any type of tacos, taquitos, enchiladas or burritos. It's kind of a basic recipe that I often use in addition to my Green Chili and Lime Pulled Pork for tacos and such.  Since this makes way more shredded pork than I use for one dinner or dish, I often freeze some of it after it is done in the slow cooker for later use.  I freeze mine in disposable aluminum containers.  When I want to use it, I thaw it out in the fridge overnight and place the whole disposable container right into my slow cooker to heat the pork back up.” Angela

Ingredients:

3 pounds (or so) boneless pork shoulder roast

1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

½ tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon paprika

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Pinch ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

7 - 8 ounces (canned) fire-roasted tomatoes (I freeze the remainder of the can contents for 
another use)

1 chicken bouillon cube

1 cup water

Preparation:

Cut pork roast into large chunks.

Sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, salt and 
black pepper...

Chicken, Broccoli, Quinoa Casserole

“This is a recipe my Mom made ALL the time when we were kids and we always devoured it. However… she always used rice instead of quinoa (feel free to do it the original way with rice if you aren't in the quinoa mood). I wasn't sure how it would come out with the quinoa instead of rice but I loved it! I hardly noticed a difference at all (and neither did my 2-year-old). If you aren't the biggest fan of quinoa and want to ease your way into making it a part of your diet, this is a good place to start. Oh and another added note. This also tastes great if you do 1 cup of Greek yogurt instead of the ½ cup mayo and sour cream.” Erica

Ingredients:

1 can cream of chicken soup

½ cup sour cream

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup lemon juice

1 cup milk

Salt and pepper, to taste

3 cup cooked quinoa (prepared according to package directions)

3 cup shredded chicken

2 cup cooked broccoli

2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl combine cream of chicken, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, milk, and salt 
and pepper.

Gently stir in quinoa, chicken, and broccoli...

Beef Bourguignon Buttered Parsley Noodles

“Ribeye steak is a very flavorful, tender cut of meat, but it also has the tendency of getting tough in texture when cooked for too long. Be careful to not over-brown the steak when it first begins to cook as it will continue to cook as it stews in the sauce. The buttered parsley noodles serve as the perfect background for this flavorful entree.” Kelly Senyei

Ingredients:

For the beef bourguignon:

1 ribeye steak, trimmed, cubed, and seasoned with salt & pepper

¼ cup all-purpose flour for the meat, plus 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour for the sauce

½ cup pearl onions, peeled

½ cup carrots, diced

½ cup petite button mushrooms

½ cup celery, diced

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

2 teaspoons tomato paste

½ cup dry red wine

1 cup beef broth

Salt & pepper to taste

For the noodles:

4 oz. dry egg noodles

Chopped fresh parsley

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Prepare the ribeye by cutting off the excess fat and then dicing it into small cubes.

Reserve the fat...

Crock Pot Beef Roast

“When it comes to home cooking there is no recipe that needs to be followed exactly (unless you're baking).  I use what's at hand, and most of the time I eyeball the measurements.  Today I am making a beef roast in the crock pot.” Ivonne

3 pounds round roast

2 potatoes (pre-boiled)

2 carrots

10 olives

1 package Lipton's beefy onion soup mix

2 teaspoons barbeque sauce

1 bay leaf

Salt to taste

Preparation:

Set your crock pot to high if you're home, or to low if you're leaving it to cook all day.

Toss all your ingredients in, cover and walk away.

I went back and added two potatoes, carrots and olives in the final two hours of cooking...
