I'm going to have to try your stew, Arwen. I love the slow cooker for stews, especially going into winter.
On the menu at Chez Bent/e today is a family favorite: White Chili with Ground Turkey Cooking time is only about 30 mins. though I often simmer longer. * 1 onion, chopped * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey * 2 (4 ounce) cans canned green chile peppers, chopped * 1 tablespoon ground cumin * 1 tablespoon dried oregano * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * ground cayenne pepper to taste * ground white pepper to taste * 3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans * 5 cups chicken broth * 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese Directions 1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic & ground turkey. Saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add the chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne pepper to taste & white pepper to taste and saute for 5 more minutes. 2. Add two cans of beans & the chicken broth to the pot. Take the third can of beans & puree them in a blender or food processor (I just mash them with fork). Add this to the pot along with the cheese. Stir well & simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt. I cook up a big pot of brown rice to serve the chili over. |
Easton, that sounds DIVINE!
Mr. Bent, I am a huge fan of the slow cooker too! Thanks for that recipe. I am definitely going to try that one. |

If you steam them first, it will be easier. |

Um.. up the water by 1/2 a can. Cut back on the chilies by one. Or not. :) Depends on how hot you like things. OrganicButch and PixieStars seemed to like it. Definitely add carrots. :) Will make again. |

Does anyone have a sugar free recipe for brownies that does NOT require the use of Splenda?? I HATE the flavor of Splenda. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

About twice a month we have "Nasty Casserole" around here.
It's usually a conglomeration of shit that I can find that needs to be used but generally has many of the following ingredients. 1 layer of corn tortillas 1 layer of refried beans 1 layer of cheddar cheese 1 layer of chicken cooked with cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, etc. another layer of corn tortillas 1 layer of black beans another layer of whatever cheese a layer of red sauce or my really good sour cream sauce and usually more layers of cheese than any human should eat and sometimes a layer of corn and sometimes a layer of black olives and most of the time a good sprinkling of green onion Its guaranteed to give you heartburn but is WAY pocketbook friendly and tastes decadent as HELL and makes a LOT. |

It's cookie time at Chez Diva......I love this time of year!! The following recipe is one of my Mom's (I have her copy in her handwriting, framed and hanging in my kitchen!).....my favorite cookie of hers....and now it's also my daughter's favorite, so she'll be getting a big box of them in the next couple of weeks.
Pin Wheel Cookies 1 c. butter 2 c. sugar 2 eggs, beaten 3 1/2 c. flour 1 tsp. soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 sq. bittersweet chocolate, melted OR 3 T. cocoa + 1 tsp. butter Mix in order given (except for chocolate). Divide in half. Add melted chocolate to one half and work it in thoroughly. Roll out each half between wax paper, then place one on top of the other. Roll together like a jelly roll. Chill. Slice thin. Bake at 350 until light brown (about 10-12 minutes) They will spread just a bit, so don't put slices too closely together. This is a pretty cookie. Happy baking! |

Might want to add a 1/2 C of bread crumbs next time. My dinner guest liked it so I was happy. |

Bess Burns Best Turkey Soup
For those of us who celebrated Thanksgiving with a huge turkey or a small one, here's my favorite recipe for soup from leftover turkey. My beloved mother introduced be to this soup so it has connections to her as well for me. I hope if you try this, you will do two things.
1. Let me know how you liked it. 2. Set some aside for me! LOL By the by? If you are going to freeze this, leave the rice out. You can add that when you are heating it back up. @@@@@ Bess Burns Best Turkey Soup Leftover Turkey and bones 2 Tbl parsley flakes 2 Tbl onion flakes 1 or 2 Tbl lawry's seasoned salt 1/2 tsp Black pepper 1 tsp salt 2 11 oz Cans cream of tomato soup 3/4 cup cooked rice Fill soup pot half full with water. Boil turkey and bones in water for 1 hour. Remove bones and add rest of ingredients. Simmer for at least one more hour. SOURCE: Cotton Country Cookbook (Monroe, LA Jr League) ----- |
Miss Diva the pin wheels were a hit
TY again for allowing me to borrow your recipe |
This chocolate sauce is from a friend of mine from many years ago. I knew N.D. in B.G, OH. lol This recipe is one that has been handed down in her family for years. She shared this in Dreaming: An Almanac of Lesbian Lore and Vision (volume 2)
Lois' Sauce 1 C sugar 1 1/2 TBS Cocoa Pinch Salt 1 TBS Butter 2 TBS Karo 1/2 C Milk Dash Vanilla In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except vanilla. Cook over medium heat. Let boil 3 to 4 minutes. Add vanilla and cool. This stuff is addictive and beats the pants off other chocolate sauces I've tried. mmmm |
Here's a recipe for Red Beans&Rice. This is a very traditional dish in Louisiana. It was usually made on Mondays because that was wash day. You could put on a big pot of beans in the morning and not have to worry about supper!
Mama Mann's Red Beans & Rice 1 large bag dry red beans 1 lb ground beef 1 lb ground sausage (Mama likes sage sausage) 1/2 C chopped onion 1/2 C Cajun seasoning (Mama recommends Tony Chachere's(tm) Cajun Seasoning) 1 large Can Tomato Paste 1 C Ketchup (more or less to taste) For best results, use dry beans. (If not available, canned beans can be used--drain them but don't rinse them--and Mama says 'ask yourself WHY you don't have dry beans in your pantry!') Soak the beans for at least three hours--best if overnight. Some will float to the top--discard those immediately. Drain, rinse and put in a large soup pan. Add just enough water to cover completely and cook over low heat until done. Check periodically to ensure beans remain covered. Beans will be soft but not mushy. When cooked, take 1/2 of them out and smash them to use as a thickener. Put back in the pan. Cook beef and sausage together, add onions and cook until meat is done and onions are clear. Drain and pour into pot with beans. Add your seasonings, tomato paste and ketchup. Stir and allow to simmer together until well-mixed and flavors are blended. Serve with white rice and cornbread. Like many tomato-based dishes, it's better on day 2 and freezes beautifully. That's exactly how I got the recipe. LOL I always monkey around with mine so this is just a skeleton really. You can make a non-meat version of this as well. |
Love this recipe. Amazingly easy and so tasty.
NEW POTATOES BAKED IN CREAM 10 to 15 sm. red skinned new potatoes 2 c. heavy cream 5 med. cloves garlic, finely minced Salt and white pepper to taste Chopped parsley or chives for garnish Scrub potatoes in warm water. Slice them into 1/8 inch thick slices. Place in an 8 inch square pan. Add cream, garlic, salt and pepper and toss until completely mixed. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and make a hole in the center about the size of a half dollar. Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or until cream is bubbling and brown color shows on top. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives. :newbie: |
Oh yummy! Those sound divine! Thanks so much for sharing!

Taco Bell at home!
Ground beef tacos with cheddar cheese and iceberg lettuce. They were heaven sent!

Tonight we are having pork chops marinated in fresh orange, soy sauce, ginger, and sprinkled with nutmeg, brown sugar, and sesame seeds before baking along with a baked potato and my secret green beans.
Here is how I get Jack to eat green beans, albeit they arent very healthy. Fry up some frozen green beans in bacon grease. Throw in some soy sauce, freshly minced garlic, and white pepper. When they begin get pissed off (shrivel), sprinkle with brown sugar and cook down to limp green delights. Jack loves them :) |
