I made these empenadas last week for the first time. They were a huge hit with everyone, so I thought that when I made them again today, they’d be the star of the table. However. I added a side of Mexican Sweet Potato Mash tonight, and it blew me away. I almost ate half the pot before it hit the ... Read More »
Confession: In this house, our favourite thing about making a Turkey Dinner is eating the Turkey Dinner Leftovers. It’s possible that we make a big Turkey Dinner several times a year, not because we like the whole big dinner that much, but because we LOVE the leftovers. About a month ago, we cooked a 20lb turkey for 3 adults and ... Read More »
I knew as soon as I got up yesterday morning what I wanted to make for #MeatlessMonday’s dinner: a falafel casserole. Falafels are easiest eaten in a pita wrap, but A) we didn’t have pitas and B) I’m still trying my best to make suppers that don’t depend on simple carbs for their form or structure. Now, the problem was ... Read More »
Does this not look absolutely amazing? Chili, cheese, cornbread. The ultimate fall comfort foods, served together like this?!! And it really was amazing, believe me. Everyone in the family loved it, and we’re making it again tonight. SO good! This recipe can be as simple or complicated as you’d like it. The original post from Bless This Mess used ... Read More »
We’ve been making these for years – they are such an easy meal (especially if you’ve forgotten to take meat out to thaw!), and it is a great way to sneak extra veggies to your kids. We often make it as part of a dipping supper (all finger foods, all dippable) – the kids love it! This is a great alternative ... Read More »
I’m a big fan of buying what’s in season, and when I went to the store last week, apparently cabbage was in season! I bought a HUGE head for $.99 – it was massive! Even after removing a few of the outside leaves, I was left with a lot of cabbage. I knew we were going to make a ... Read More »
Turkey is a popular food in our house. We sometimes cook it not for the turkey dinner, but for the leftovers. There are SO MANY AMAZING turkey leftover meals out there! Messy Turkey Sandwiches don’t look the prettiest, but they work GREAT as lunches OR dinners! (If Swiss Chalet can have Messy Chicken Sandwiches on the supper menu, you are absolutely ... Read More »
My mom used to make this for us when we were growing up, and I loved it. I always liked spaghetti, but this was a bit of a different taste, and I love that it is all cooked in the same pot – less dishes! Ingredients: 1lb ground beef 1 c. chopped onion 1 chopped green pepper 1 can ... Read More »
We love broccoli salad here. We can easily go through 2 heads of broccoli in one meal! I love all the little add-ins you can put in the salad, and it tastes best when everything is chopped up nice and small. Ingredients:1 large head of broccoli1/2 c. shredded cheese1 apple finely diced1/2 of an onion, finely diced1/3 c. each of ... Read More »
We love French fries in this house. Of course, the best are the real deep fried ones. We also enjoy the frozen ones. But I have recently discovered the tricks to making the best ones yourself – crispy and delicious! First I scrub them and leave the skins on (if it is not too thick). Then I use this wonderful dollar ... Read More »
