Mrs.W replied to Penelope's discussion 'Overwhelmed'

Chicken Salad - spruce up with dried or fresh fruit, curry powder, veggies. Yum! Any hot curry over rice. Double yum! Quick chicken & dumplings. I also like to store leftover cooked meat & poultry in the freezer for soupmaking. It's almost that tim…

Mrs.W replied to Penelope's discussion 'Overwhelmed'

Alas, this is the folly of being a foodie. You can freeze or jar the caponata, though I usually do that before it's completely made up. Otherwise you can add it to other things you make, like on a pizza (with some of those sweet peppers & herbs) an…

Mrs.W replied to Magnolia's discussion 'Pressure Cooker!'

I love my pressure-cooker, but I must admit to using it mainly for cooking meat that's rock-solid frozen. It's definitely a time-saver--there's nothing better than getting fork-shreddable meat in 20 minutes right from the freezer! I've read that pe…

Mrs.W replied to Peggy's discussion 'Appetizer recipe needed and coffee question'

I use regular ground folgers. The cinnamon will help with that bitter edge. That said, some people just don't enjoy coffee. It's hard to find the right balance of sweet & cream to add, if any. In my opinion, light cream is the best tasting in coffee.

I love simple cubes of cream cheese stuffed into cherry tomatoes (cut them with an X and put the cheese in the middle). Of course you could herb the cheese and pipe it in... your call. Sometimes simple is best, though! You could also put them on too…

Mrs.W replied to Peggy's discussion 'appetizer needed'

You could do sort of a chile rellenos--cut open "big jim" type (large, mild) peppers and lay them in a greased dish, top with cheese and bake until melty & bubbly. Or stuffed jalapenos--trim off the stem end and with a small knife pull out seeds &…

Profile Information

About Me:

I'm a 30-something happily married homemaker and home cook. I love all kinds of international cuisine and learning how to make them at home (as well as eat them in restaurants). I enjoy serving my family and friends something wonderful to eat, and educating people with dietary restrictions that good food IS attainable without cheating on your food lifestyle.

My favorite foods are:

Too many to count! Ethiopian, Pho, Italian, Chicken Wings, Panna Cotta

My favorite chefs/cooks are:

I'm inspired by so many people! There are multitudes of fantastic foodbloggers out there that are absolutely brilliant; of course Jamie Oliver and Lydia Bastianich, Ina Garten, Alton Brown among many others; the forums at stellastyle.com taught me how to eat well without feeling deprived as a diabetic; people who've come in and out of my life and taught me to cook.

Do you have a food related website?

Yes

Curried Lamb Stew

I have a great recipe for curried lamb stew just posted today on my blog. It's a delicious African-inspired stew that my friends gobbled up! I had to be quick to set aside one serving to save for my supper...
