I know that a lot of chili’s, especially in certain parts of the states, consider beans to be sacrilegious. And probably ground meat too, but to me, a chili isn’t a chili without a boat load of kidney beans. This is a really nice, basic, easy chili to make, but I’ll throw in a few…
Beef
Chili Mac and Cheese
So, this is another recipe created by those people who I worship over at America’s Test Kitchen (from their skillet suppers magazine). It cooked up so nice and quick, had the perfect amount of spice, wasn’t over powering at all for Bo who isn’t a big chili fan, and best of all, Oliver liked it…
Chicken Fried Steak
Ok, I know what you’re all thinking: Holy heart attack on a plate. You know what, that’s exactly what I thought every time my Papa ordered it at the Cracker Barrel on vacation. On a side note, if the Cracker Barrel is scoffed at by actual American’s, this Canadian doesn’t care. I live for those…
Manicotti with Meat Sauce
So, while the fresh egg pasta of my last post is great and all, I’m guessing it’s a lot more useful with the recipe for the actual meal. So, here goes, manicotti with meat sauce. You don’t have to use home made pasta though (obviously). Just, please don’t use those hard manicotti tubes. The ones…
Skillet Lasagna
Finally, I’m back to posting up recipes, and boy, do I ever have some catching up to do. So, where do I decide to start? With what we had for dinner tonight. This is because I’m feeling ridiculously overwhelmed at the stack of recipes I’ve got in a pile, in a bag, in our office,…
Best (indoor) Burgers
Griddle Burgers These burgers are my absolute favorite to make year round. I’m not big on the super thick home-made style burger full of onions and spices. I like my burger meat thinish and tasting like meat. Then I cover it with mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, tomato and sometimes dill pickel. Maybe I’m not such…
Chevapi and Crostini
This is an absolute favourite of Bo’s, being that he’s Croatian/Serbian it’s basically a staple. There’s a little butcher shop about a 45 minute drive from here that you can get them at, but they aren’t hard at all to make, it just comes down to how lazy I’m feeling, lol. Chevapi Prep Time: 20 minutes…
Porcupine Balls and Apple Crisp
Porcupine Balls Ignore the name, they’re just meatballs with rice in them that puffs out the sides, hence the “porcupine” moniker. This is a family favourite, passed down to me from my Nana, but I’ve tweaked it a lot over the last 4 years and finally have a perfected recipe. Enjoy Prep time: 15 minutes…
