2021, Colleen, Dinner, Lunch, Turkey

I wasn’t a big fan of turkey burgers. They were always so dry and tasteless. I’m sure sawdust would have been just as good.

Then Colleen made turkey burgers with this recipe. I admit I was skeptical but was willing to give it a try based on the ingredients. Man, this is some really tasty eats! It won me over.

This recipe, unlike most of the others, is unaltered. The original recipe can be found here and makes 4-quarter-pound plus burgers.

So, if you’d had turkey burgers and thought they were inedible, give this one a try and see if it changes your mind.

2021, Chicken, Colleen, Lunch

This is some excellent tasting chicken salad. The original recipe is from Cook’s Country and was published in 2007. As our norm, Colleen took the base recipe and adjusted it to our liking.

The recipe calls for cayenne pepper. Some may be hesitant to add it but we recommend not eliminating it. The small amount doesn’t add heat but does provide a subtle flavor that really makes all the difference.

This works well to serve on top of a salad, make a sammie, or put it on crackers while you enjoy a beverage at the end of your day!

Ingredients

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 stalk of celery, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

1 small jar pimentos, chopped and drained

2 tablespoons sour creama

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 garlic clove , minced

2 to 3 cups cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • We shred the chicken by using our KitchenAid mixer. Break each chicken breast into a couple of smaller pieces. Toss into the mixer bowl with the paddle blade. Turn on low and let run until the desired level of shredding, about 45 seconds to 1-minute.
  • Combine cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, sour cream, lemon juice, cayenne, and garlic in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

2020, Dinner, Gary & Trish, Instant Pot, Lunch, Soup

We were visiting Gary and Trish in January 2019 at their home in Minnesota. It gets a bit on the cool side there at that time of year.

Gary made this soup for us. Man, it was so tasty, perfect for the chilling weather, and it was fast to prepare. Since that visit, we’ve made it a few more times and it’s just as good as the first time we ate it.

The recipe that follows is basically unchanged from what Gary provided to us. Yes, it’s odd for us to not made several changes to any given recipe, but this one is just excellent the way it is.

Fair warning; this makes a fair amount that will feed 6 to 8 with no problem. So if you’re cooking for two, go ahead and make it, but have your storage containers ready to save the leftovers for another day as this soup freezes very well.

One last thing before we head into the recipe, this one came from The Foodie Eats. Here is a direct link to the recipe on their site

This recipe comes from our friends at Green Mountain Grills. We purchased our grill in 2019 and love using it. One accessory we purchased was the pizza oven attachment. I reviewed it in the pizza sauce recipe. We love the sauce and their pizza dough recipe is pretty good. If you want to see the recipes from their site, follow this link to the pizza oven attachment manual and then scroll towards the end of the PDF.

Ingredients

Clam chowder is another of our favorite meals during the colder weather months. This recipe is based on one that arrived in my email inbox about 3-months ago. Like most other recipes we try, we used it as a starting point and have modified it for our palates. The original recipe can be found on the Eating Well website by clicking here.

Have to say this is an easy, fast and very tasty recipe. It only takes about an hour total to put together fresh, homemade soup to impress yourself, family, and friends!

2019, Colleen, Crab, Dave, Dinner, Lunch, Seafood, Shrimp, Soup

January weather is on the colder side here in Delaware. Great time to break out soup type recipes. Here’s one loosely based on a recipe from Spend with Pennies.

In our version, we added more veggies, used crab leg for the fish, and adjusted the seasoning by increasing the Old Bay and adding in some red pepper flake. We also like our chowder on the thinner side so we used half & half instead of heavy cream and used less of it but added more wine. For us, this recipe covers all the bases when it comes to chowder.

This one’s from America’s Test Kitchen. You can find the recipe on their site by following this link. You’ll need to sign up to see it or search the internet for it. They’re many other sites that have this recipe posted.

TIPS: The black bean mixture needs to be refrigerated for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours prior to cooking. When forming the patties, it is important to pack them firmly together. Our favorite canned black beans are Bush’s Best. Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings or with our Chipotle Mayonnaise.
