Curried Chicken Salad with Apples Did I mention in a recent post that I didn’t like yellow curry? Well let me retract that statement as of today because I just spun this delicious curried chicken salad and I’ve become a new fan! I made my very first roasting chicken this week (really…the pioneer woman I…
Shrimp Angel Hair Cabbage Salad with Lime Dressing This beautiful Minnesota Autumn day has me craving something fresh and light. It’s 80 degrees, sunny, no humidity, and the leaves have all changed in brilliant shades of orange, red, and yellow. As I heard someone say this morning who is visiting from California, “this is what…
Cream Filled Devil’s Food Chocolate Cupcakes This posting is for my sister who loves my version of Devils Food Chocolate Cupcakes that I posted for my daughter’s bridal shower. And now, I filled them with fluffy cream, much like a Hostess Cupcake or Ding Dong, and frosted them with a chocolate glaze. YUMMY! My inspiration…
Chicken with Red Curry and Apples I love Red Curry…huge fan, and combining it with apples was a wonderful compliment to the hot sweet flavors. I tried a yellow curry dish years ago and found it much too strong so I wrote off anything curry…that is until I tried red; the two are entirely…
Shepherd’s Pie This is one of my best Shepherd’s Pie…and it’s easy with the help of Simply Mashed Potatoes which are designated gluten free! Of course, if you can’t imagine using pre-made mashed, make your own if you have the time. I found the convenience of these potatoes (with just a touch of doctoring to…
Apple Berry Crumble It’s apple time! Hooray for Autumn and the display of apples in every variety and color. Crisps and crumbles, pies and galette’s…each is better than the next when filled with sweet delicious apples. Today, I’m adding berries to my apple crumble and the combination is yummy! I prefer my crumble to be…
Greek Smothered Chicken Adding a new recipe to GFS was at the top of my list today and as I took inventory of ingredients on hand they all added up to something Greek. Hmmm, how about smothered chicken using artichokes and bacon! Yum! It’s an easy weeknight meal full of flavor. Boneless chicken breasts are…
Vanilla Bean French Macarons It’s definitely time for a beautiful dessert, yes? This summer flew by quickly with a flurry of events filling our sun-filled days. A trip to the East Coast for a friend’s birthday kicked off my busy schedule followed by my daughter’s wedding, selling our cabin, building a new cabin, celebrating a…
Shrimp Pasta Salad Revisited shrimp pasta salad means larger shrimp (not the tiny canned shrimp of old), fresher flavors with green and red onions, sweet baby peas, pimento, and lots of fresh lemon and dill. The dressing is lighter using olive oil based mayonnaise combined with lemon juice and cocktail sauce for a zingy light…
Halibut Cakes My halibut cakes are truly a treat often made with leftover halibut from the night before. Leftover halibut? Exactly, and that’s why it’s so indulgent. Being one of our favorite splurges, we plan for extra so we can enjoy these cakes the following day. Of course, you can easily poach the halibut the…
Jalapeno and Bacon Turkey Burgers Nothing says summer like a good burger, and for me, it’s always a turkey burger. Mr. Spinner’s favorite burgers are beef jalapeno burgers that our local butcher makes. But I don’t eat ground beef or ground pork, only ground turkey and chicken….so I took on the challenge of making Turkey…
