I will say that's what prompted me to want to make potato salad (and the fact that I have so many potatoes to use up from our garden). We grew red, gold and purple potatoes and I hadn't cooked with purples before so I decided this was a good time to use them up. Of course, you know me, I went to google to search for a recipe and the first one that popped up was from Food Network. I really like Tyler Florence's recipes, so I knew this one was a winner. </p><p>A few changes/adds: Added turkey bacon. [I had some already cooked and ready, but definitely prefer pork bacon.] Added just a touch of cane sugar to balance out the salt and vinegar. Didn't use Parsley. [I really need to grow some indoors during the winter; I'm not really a fan of dried herbs.] Added sour cream for extra tang and creaminess. Used spicy brown mustard which gave it even more kick. </p><p>So, if I'm blogging this, it means it ranks as one of my top favorite recipes for potato salad. [I have another one with pickles and red potatoes so that makes 2 favorites. :) ]</p><p>Please give this one a try!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ARmRZTAdlFUSRiHluTe2Ws2sOwIuRfClkCwOWM6SYSgVQMDg7RVHk5UXeck82X5uSXqb-djHkYViwkprDrnuxDxs3D0lAxwhyOcLFIaiuyrX3GXsL6-s-LN6iUemcGiedjlbp4WeOcLaftD85xzfFGGmjhQD9uiPQAwuBZc_rre90wlfOKeMuqym/s1022/Screen%20Shot%202023-01-06%20at%2011.15.05%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="1010" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ARmRZTAdlFUSRiHluTe2Ws2sOwIuRfClkCwOWM6SYSgVQMDg7RVHk5UXeck82X5uSXqb-djHkYViwkprDrnuxDxs3D0lAxwhyOcLFIaiuyrX3GXsL6-s-LN6iUemcGiedjlbp4WeOcLaftD85xzfFGGmjhQD9uiPQAwuBZc_rre90wlfOKeMuqym/w395-h400/Screen%20Shot%202023-01-06%20at%2011.15.05%20AM.png" width="395" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>2 pounds small purple potatoes</p><p>1 purple onion, diced</p><p>2 celery stalks, chopped</p><p>1/4 cup chopped fresh dill</p><p>1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley</p><p>1 cup mayonnaise</p><p>1/4 cup Dijon mustard</p><p>1 teaspoon celery seed</p><p>1 teaspoon cayenne</p><p>1 tablespoon white vinegar</p><p>1 lemon, juiced</p><p>Salt and pepper, to taste</p><p><a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/purple-potato-salad-recipe-1938543">https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/purple-potato-salad-recipe-1938543</a><br /></p>RecipeRepresentativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10787101313880475690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124813103932244279.post-45133249121558238432022-12-29T17:00:00.001-08:002023-01-06T10:16:38.013-08:00Slow Cooker Refried Beans<p> This is a simple recipe for homemade refried beans, however in the high altitude, I let them soak in cold water overnight first then turn on the slow cooker to get them cooking. I also used home processed lard instead of oil. Be careful to drain (and reserve) ALL of the liquid and then slowly add it back in until it reaches the desired consistency. In order to keep the beans in the pot, I just used an electric immersion blender to puree the mix. I didn't see salt in this recipe, so I added some. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFKBqfDj_Iqtvnv30fAZfv1O4sCNayu5FJUn4PWguWiTDQoMLQMoZB_1tq2HyWeeRW8YKbDJ_ySrxgvbmhuQhK3xYV9MT_Wg8IyT7DAzFY2p2BLQH5psWjzcglMecrELfcJAc2Zuwx9kJKKg2aa11gCf4ukMk2UzldtggEG4WS-1HrvWWH34Q4cmT/s1300/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-29%20at%205.53.29%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1300" data-original-width="1174" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFKBqfDj_Iqtvnv30fAZfv1O4sCNayu5FJUn4PWguWiTDQoMLQMoZB_1tq2HyWeeRW8YKbDJ_ySrxgvbmhuQhK3xYV9MT_Wg8IyT7DAzFY2p2BLQH5psWjzcglMecrELfcJAc2Zuwx9kJKKg2aa11gCf4ukMk2UzldtggEG4WS-1HrvWWH34Q4cmT/w361-h400/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-29%20at%205.53.29%20PM.png" width="361" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>1 bag dry Pinto beans</p><p>Water</p><p>1 lb. pinto beans</p><p>1 sweet yellow onion</p><p>2 Tbsp. cooking oil</p><p>4 chicken bouillon cubes</p><p>2 garlic cloves peeled</p><p>1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper</p><p>6 cups water</p><p>Salt to taste</p><p>1/2 cup salted butter (wait to add this at the end)</p><p>Crumbled cotija cheese or grated cheddar cheese (optional)</p><p>Sour Cream (optional)</p><p>Fresh Cilantro or green onion (optional)</p><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.themagicalslowcooker.com/slow-cooker-refried-beans/">https://www.themagicalslowcooker.com/slow-cooker-refried-beans/</a><br /></p>RecipeRepresentativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10787101313880475690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124813103932244279.post-43355695965938247732022-12-26T11:09:00.008-08:002023-01-06T10:16:52.395-08:00Chia Pudding<p>I've been reading about the health benefits of chia seeds and decided to try chia seed pudding.

Not only does he cook great food, but his sense of humor is just my style.</p><p>Last week, I came across his video for Steakhouse Potatoes Romanoff and decided to cook it for Christmas. Usually I do mashed or scalloped potatoes, but this was a winner hands down. </p><p>A few changes I made: </p><p>1. I used Yukon Golds from our garden. They were smaller and so probably took 2-3 times as many as the russets. I put them in a 13x9 pan covered with foil rather than individually wrap them. Cooked for 1 hour then refrigerated overnight. The cold potatoes worked best for grating. </p><p>2. Easy on the white pepper and cayenne if your guests aren't fond of spice. </p><p>3. I used shredded Mexican cheese blend. Next time, I'll take Chef John's suggestion and shred my own white cheddar. </p><p>4. I added mild - it's likely that my sour cream was too thick, but the milk helped thin it out and mix everything together. </p><p>5. I forgot to buy shallots, so yellow onions worked fine. [Next year hoping to use onions from our garden.] </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWu6q__va6_szR-3Y1OqIWL6FA-NMZzs9VtAI1utKwOHkVG0CR60WAMms_xoRJlW-yJcyy9ak2CY_l-J1H1MTa46at4aKDUemeEgNb3fZX24878bWy5Y0uscgkaMSr_T5afzOBd_fYKMaie1kwYnK1pCW3-r_X4y_pd_EDlHeFObD-mTQQylXbjjQh/s1174/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-26%20at%2011.55.22%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="674" data-original-width="1174" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWu6q__va6_szR-3Y1OqIWL6FA-NMZzs9VtAI1utKwOHkVG0CR60WAMms_xoRJlW-yJcyy9ak2CY_l-J1H1MTa46at4aKDUemeEgNb3fZX24878bWy5Y0uscgkaMSr_T5afzOBd_fYKMaie1kwYnK1pCW3-r_X4y_pd_EDlHeFObD-mTQQylXbjjQh/w400-h230/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-26%20at%2011.55.22%20AM.png" title="Potatoes Romanoff" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><br />1 teaspoon butter, or as needed<p></p><p>3-4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed</p><p>¼ cup minced shallots</p><p>3 teaspoons kosher salt</p><p>½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper</p><p>1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste</p><p>2 ½ cups grated sharp white Cheddar cheese</p><p>1 ¾ cups sour cream</p><p>https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/276526/steakhouse-potatoes-romanoff/ </p><p><br /></p>RecipeRepresentativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10787101313880475690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124813103932244279.post-87512688915591885672022-11-29T08:19:00.001-08:002023-01-06T10:17:26.924-08:00Slow Cooker Refried Bean Soup<p>So, we had a new tradition for Thanksgiving this year. I was asked to make burritos. I made tortillas, spanish rice and refried beans from scratch. However, the beans had too much liquid and ended up being a little runny, and I made too much (a whole pound of pinto beans!). So, I was looking for a good refried bean soup recipe and as always, Taste of Home had a great one!</p><p>Some changes I made were to substitute the stewed tomatos with rotel. Also added bacon, garlic and fresh, chopped yellow onion. I was out of canned black beans and didn't take time to soak and cook so I used canned Canellini beans instead. It worked out well. Also added redmond salt, pepper and, at the end, topped with broken tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese and fresh cilantro. </p><p>The great thing about the slow cooker is you can keep it on the counter overnight and have leftovers the next day. </p><p>*See separate posts for the tortillas, spanish rice and refried beans recipes. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigRH5xL-Q1bN2ID94ez4-iAcU74mIAN7XUzy7h08Boexa62qgywtjkKgyQr8EgHIjOtTQdo3Gpxb_sr78R-Eo1i-e7AO_sFFayF5UMU36UVzzQu21BT3gJGtSkcQaNZKOjfR6Z9Sn61U14oRNx5V811mAMC2XHtbGYOg97BF4pw2mom5i8meJtwO6A/s1110/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-29%20at%209.16.41%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1094" data-original-width="1110" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigRH5xL-Q1bN2ID94ez4-iAcU74mIAN7XUzy7h08Boexa62qgywtjkKgyQr8EgHIjOtTQdo3Gpxb_sr78R-Eo1i-e7AO_sFFayF5UMU36UVzzQu21BT3gJGtSkcQaNZKOjfR6Z9Sn61U14oRNx5V811mAMC2XHtbGYOg97BF4pw2mom5i8meJtwO6A/w400-h394/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-29%20at%209.16.41%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/fast-refried-bean-soup/">Refried Bean Soup</a></p><p>1 can (16 ounces) spicy fat-free refried beans</p><p>1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained</p><p>1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained</p><p>1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth</p><p>1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, cut up</p><p>1/2 cup water</p><p>1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles</p><p>1/4 cup salsa</p><p>Tortilla chips</p><div><br /></div><p><br /></p>RecipeRepresentativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10787101313880475690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124813103932244279.post-312036876990289522020-10-23T16:31:00.004-07:002020-10-23T16:31:36.835-07:00Air Fryer Chicken Chimichangas<p>Holy moly! I didn't think I would ever get to eat these again since fired food is off the menu. Air Fryer Chimichangas are the bomb! Super easy to make. Here are some of my mods: </p><p>1. Make double the amount of sauce when cooking the chicken - it tastes amazing poured over top of them when they come out of the air fryer. </p><p>2. It's ok to use cream cheese if you don't have Neufchatel-it's what I did. :)</p><p>3. We had a ton of green chilis in our garden this year so I added fresh ones to the mix. Yum! The rest went into my canned tomatillo green chili recipe that I use for chicken enchiladas. [I ended up with 17 quarts!]</p><p>4. I added some shredded cheese to the tops while cooking-nice touch!</p><p>5. This works best with an upright air fryer with trays that looks like a mini oven. [Also comes with a rotisserie attachment.] Worth the extra dollars.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://imagesvc.meredithcorp.io/v3/mm/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.media-allrecipes.com%2Fuserphotos%2F7948866.jpg&q=85" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="542" height="640" src="https://imagesvc.meredithcorp.io/v3/mm/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.media-allrecipes.com%2Fuserphotos%2F7948866.jpg&q=85" width="434" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/278702/air-fryer-chimichangas/?fbclid=IwAR2CnzKUgy3h1YCrnGLNQZCMvg-xZBJzI5OmquljLhr-TIS4-r-EBuYiR-s">https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/278702/air-fryer-chimichangas/?fbclid=IwAR2CnzKUgy3h1YCrnGLNQZCMvg-xZBJzI5OmquljLhr-TIS4-r-EBuYiR-s</a><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>RecipeRepresentativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10787101313880475690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124813103932244279.post-44838590387535551632020-08-13T20:57:00.000-07:002020-08-13T20:57:53.657-07:00Creamy Blueberry Gelatin Dessert <p>I love my inventory app. It alerts me to what’s expiring in the pantry. This week it was grape jello so I went to Pinterest for ideas. I found this classic that I can’t believe I’ve never tried! I ended up making my own blueberry pie filling with fresh blueberries (quick and worth it!). With the crushed pineapple and cream cheese/sour cream topping with walnuts-this was crazy good. I mean, I’ve never had a dessert like it. The hubby said it is now his number one dessert-knocking blueberry pie to number 2.

Pecans and self-rising flour. What can you do with those ingredients? Pecan blondies! Don't make these if you're trying to lose weight. The brown sugar/pecan combination is ADDICTING! It was hard not to eat a half a pan in one night. I will definitely be keeping this one in my recipe box to bring to a party. Your guests will thank you-or not if they eat too many. Haha.<br />

Wild rice and mushrooms were on the list this week. I chose to use a crockpot rather than my InstantPot because wild rice takes so long to cook at 6500 ft elevation. I ended up adding heavy whipping cream instead of the flour roux and some pepper. So, so good. :)<br />

One of those items was a bottle of Thai Sweet Chili. This recipe made one of the best broiled salmons I've had in a long time. I ended up throwing some cauliflower on the pan with the salmon and using the extra sauce over the veggies, then served over a bed of rice. Yum!<br />

The texture is definitely not as easy to make into patties, but the egg helps keep it constituted when cooking. If you're looking for the beefy hardiness, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a healthier option that goes well with ketchup, pickles, onions, lettuce and tomato, this is an excellent alternative.<br />

We had some extra English Cucumbers and fresh dill from the garden. The apple cider vinegar made this a scrumptious dish. Can't wait to make it again when our garden cucumbers are ready!<br />

<br />
Brocolli and Cauliflower always seem to need some help and, well, bacon makes everything better!<br />
<br />
I made a couple of changes: I added pepper, omitted the grapes and substitued green onion for red. [The original recipe from the 50's would have had raisins.]<br />
<br />
The hubby said it's one of the best broccoli dishes he's ever had. :)<br />

After discovering we were out of steak sauce, the hubby requested a mushroom gravy, so I found this one--best one I've ever tried, by the way! I think the key ingredient is balsalmic vinegar. It was so good. Don't really need to say much about it other than, wow!<br />

The original recipe called for Asian Pears and Shiso, so I substituted with Apples and Basil instead. I also didn't have ricotta or Romano, so I substituted for mozzarella and grated parmesan; I also used Chardonnay rather than vermouth. This was probably one of the most bizaare but totally worth it recipes I've made in a long time. So delicious! This might be one of my staple party side dishes in the future. :)<br />

It didn't cook according to the timing and directions, so I might try again on a warm, windless day and post the recipe later. I ended up having to cook it some more in the oven. After all that, I had to deal with the dilemma of what to do with the leftovers. I had a bunch of mushrooms to get rid of too and so I was excited to try this in my 12" cast iron pan. It turned out delicious, however I would make a couple of modifications. Substitute some of the chicken broth for white wine and go easy on the chicken broth if using granules. The turkey was injected with a salt/syrup mix and was plenty salty. I ended up omitting the salt in the recipe and used salted butter. [I never use unsalted butter because I don't notice a difference in the food.]<br />

Since I’ve been hyper vigilant about watching expiration dates, I was able to find a way to repurpose some. I had heard or sour cream chocolate cake before but never seemed to make time to bake it. At first I just googled “sour cream desserts” and then found this recipe (5 ⭐️ reviews)! Both the cake and frosting were de-licious, maybe too good. Hard to stay away from this one, especially when there’s extra milk in the fridge. Definitely a keeper-and high altitude friendly.<br />

I can’t believe I never thought to make these from leftover buns. They’re the perfect consistency! They’re a little sweeter than regular bread but I’m really happy with the recipe I found. Next time maybe I’ll try making my own brats instead :)<br />

[We used to raise pigs-I managed to keep a few hams in our freezer and used fresh pineapple for the glaze. I put it all in the Dutch oven for 1.5 hrs] Omg! It was the best ham I’ve ever had. Also had au gratin potatoes in the 10” but didn’t really like the recipe...maybe next time I’ll share.<br />

The hubby was blown away by how delicious they are. However, some lessons learned - They blew up like ballons in the oven, so, apparently, I shouldn't have rolled them so air-tight. I will probably poke a hole in the tops next time. Secondly, they weren't very tender. I will probably do the crockpot rather than oven method next time or boil the cabbage longer. Otherwise, I have a feeling I will be making these quite often. Next time I might add in some sausage with the beef.<br />

This Coronavirus has me taking a thorough and creative look at my pantry. I had a chocolate cake mix I needed to use and a couple mini cans of Coke I’ll never drink. I looked up recipes and reviews and decided to go for it. Now-it’s technically a 3 ingredient cake because, according to the reviews, adding the eggs gives it structure (definitely true). The cake turned out great even at 6400 ft elevation. But-don’t stop there. By itself, the cake is “meh”. But add homemade chocolate frosting-wowsers! [Be sure to sift the frosting ingredients].<br />
<br />
The recipe is literally a box cake, 12oz of cola (or diet) and 3 eggs. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.<br />
<br />
Here is the link to the chocolate frosting. [I used Hershey’s Dark cocoa]<br />

It's also Keto friendly, but I ended up using 1/2 cup of regular flour because I didn't have coconut flour (which is said to be the most absorbative to handle the wetness of zucchini). It only takes 2 cups of zucchini, but takes 3 eggs-so make sure you're willing to use up your eggs for this one. It also takes 16oz of shredded mozerella, but we are well supplied with our cheeses (did you know they freeze well?). :) For the toppings, I actually used 3 cheese spaghetti sauce and chicken, mushroom and onion. For the crust, I also sprinkled semolina on the pan and preheated a stone pizza pan in advance. It take about an hour and 15 minutes if you follow the steps of pre-heat (30min), crust bake (20min) then the pizza itself (20min). So worth it! Zucchini grows like wildfire here in Colorado, so I have a feeling, I'll hold on to this recipe and keep making it over and over in the next few months. [I've already made it twice in 2 weeks!]<br />

I actually skipped the cookie crumble step and just made the pudding mix. The addition of pineapple, lime and cream cheese was exactly what this needed. So tangy and delicious! It was hard not to eat the entire thing in one night!<br />

Coronavirus is turning everything upside down. The positive is that I've had more time to get back in the kitchen and type up the recipes I've been trying. This week was St. Patrick's day, so I managed to snag a brisket from the grocery store and cook up some corned beef and cabbage in a 13x9 pan. It was sooooo yummy! I know I have a splash of Irish in my genetics and I can't get enough potatoes and cabbage in my diet. One word of caution-don't add salt if you buy pre-seasoned corned beef. It is already plenty salty enough in the end. [I ended up having to add rice on day 2 for a Corned Beef, Cabbage and Rice stew in the crockpot-so good!] I will post the Pistachio Pineapple Dessert I made to go with it separately.<br />

I actually made this one a few days ago, inspired by my trip to the Pagosa Springs Bakery. The hubby loves blueberry and who doesn’t like apple? I also, for the first time used an old fashioned crust recipe that uses shortening (I use butter flavored Crisco). The hubby said it was the best crust he’s ever had. I’m posting the recipe I used from the internet for the basic ingredients but I made a few changes. I used one Granny Smith and one pink lady apple. I also used tapioca instead of cornstarch.<br />
<br />
My mom was the true pie queen. Happy to bake such a delicious pie in one of her dishes. <3<br />

Attached is my picture before we devoured it!<br />
