Quick and delicious weeknight meals
We’re still cooking our way through the ground beef from the steer. Here’s a tasty chili recipe that actually doesn’t even call for chili powder! The heat and flavor come from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and ground cumin. The stewed tomatoes and beer also …
A couple of friends (thanks Cameron & Suzanne) recommended Fine Cooking Magazine to me, so I bought the most recent issue. I really enjoyed the magazine and think I might have to add to my growing list of cooking magazines! One of the articles I …
I had one last package of short ribs from our half-steer and decided to cook them yesterday in the slow cooker. Tim loved this dish! And, I loved how easy it was to get dinner on the table. I think I prefer the traditional braising …
