Gluten Free Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

Crockpot Creamy Chicken & Wildrice Soup - Gluten Free

There is something so comforting about a rich, simple, satisfying bowl of soup. Soup season could last year ’round in my mind, but I don’t always have time to watch over a pot on the stove. With a little morning prep time, this soup is perfect for family suppers, parties, and company. Since I eat … Read more Gluten Free Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

Bacon, Butternut & Bellas Risotto

December 15, 2021December 14, 2021 by Carlotta

We love Veggie Tales. I mean, how much fun is a bunch of gourds making up the wildly popular “Boyz in the Sink” band? Or silly songs about “crusin’ to Dunkin’ Donuts for a cup of steaming Joe in our sport utility vehicles…”?

Creamy Chicken Alfredo for Two

December 5, 2021December 4, 2021 by Carlotta

Friday night. Date night at home. Candlelit dinner near the crackling fire, cloth napkins, flowers in a glass vase, pretty dishes, something special for dessert, and no calorie counting – just food so delicious you can’t hold in that big sigh.

Amazing Pellet Smoked Chicken Breast

October 4, 2021October 4, 2021 by Carlotta

I got a new toy! Actually, it’s something I have wanted for several years now, but hesitated because of uncertainty. Not uncertainty that a new pellet smoker would be a great addition to my cooking arsenal, but uncertainty that I am “up” for a new style of cooking. All of that hesitancy was completely unfounded … Read more Amazing Pellet Smoked Chicken Breast

Creamed Mushrooms (Svampstuvning)

November 8, 2021June 5, 2021 by Carlotta

“Stewed” anything is an ugly word in the English language. When you stew something, you basically cook it slowly – in its own juices – which brings amazing flavour to any dish. But in Swedish, “stuvning” introduces other lovely liquids to enhance. Like CREAM.

Jerk Chicken with Creamy Yoghurt and Lime Sauce

May 2, 2021May 2, 2021 by Carlotta

“Jerk” was a term we were not allowed to use growing up. It was right up there with “shut up”, “stupid”, “ain’t”, and other such phrases. We may have been sweet girls — no potty mouths allowed — but we still thought some terms were really funny. Imagine our near-hysterics as the pastor at our … Read more Jerk Chicken with Creamy Yoghurt and Lime Sauce

Fennel Spice Rub

May 15, 2021April 22, 2021 by Carlotta

Fennel is one of those mysterious vegetables that find their way into lots of dishes at fine restaurants, but the average home cook seldom thinks of using it. In fact, every single time I purchase fennel bulbs at our local small town grocer, the cashier asks what it is. They are missing out on something wonderful!

Curry Chicken and Cashews

July 24, 2021January 22, 2021 by Carlotta

The three C’s — curry, chicken, cashews. They are as exciting as the 3 Musketeers, as innovative as Minnesota-based 3M company, but not nearly as tacky and disturbing as the TV show Three’s Company. 🤣

BLTZ Carbonara

January 6, 2023January 15, 2021 by Carlotta

Carbonara is an Italian dish – likely from Rome – that consists of bacon, eggs, cheese, and pasta. Without the fat of cream, the amazing creaminess of this dish comes from egg yolks. Add a bunch of veggies, and even the Italians would say WOW!

Fall, winter, spring — we all need to eat. And some times we all need something easy and convenient. And we ALL need food that tastes good and satisfies. As always in this blog, there are no ads and no pop-ups. (I get so annoyed when constantly having to close boxes in order to read … Read more Crockpot Chicken Chili
