| Tilapia With Roasted Tomato & Pesto Sauce Aug 4th 2013, 23:10 I came across this recipe for Tilapia with Pesto and Oven Roasted Tomatoes a while ago an I thought that it sounded nice and fresh and summery. I have made basil pesto many times but I have pretty much only used it with pasta. I really liked the idea of using it in a new way. Add the lemon to the pesto sounded like a good way to brighten it up. To top it all off, some roasted tomatoes which are one of my favorites! I really liked the choice of serving the tilapia with quinoa and asparagus. I cooked the quinoa in chicken stock and lemon juice to add a bit of flavor to it. The meal came together easily and it was really good! The fish was super moist and along with the lemon, pesto and roasted tomatoes it was really tasty. The quinoa helped soak up the extra juices from the fish and roasted tomatoes infusing it with flavor. I enjoyed using the pesto in the dish and I can't wait to try using pesto in other new ways.  | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 5, 2013 12:10:36 AM |
|  | Sharon's Hearty Minestrone Stew Aug 4th 2013, 22:25 Sharon White says, "I have been making this stew ever since my children were very young. It is savory and delicious, and it is quite healthy. One time, I remember having relatives over one day for supper, and I served this with crackers. Their young children wouldn't even taste it. They were used to consuming pretty, processed foods and eating at fast food restaurants. I had to make them peanut butter sandwiches instead! Sad. My own children still enjoy it very much. Fo us, it is a staple dinner that is both healthy and delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!" From 5dollardinners.com. | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 4, 2013 11:25:19 PM |
| | Magda's Chicken Noodle Vegetable Stoup Aug 4th 2013, 22:06 While there is a list of ingredients with this soup that is as thick s stew (hence the name stoup), you can substitute whatever you have in the fridge. In Czech, this kind of dish is called "co d?m dal" or "what the house gave" and its intent is to clean out your fridge of all those veggies that are about to go bad. This stoup, as with many soups and stews, is even better the next day. The more you make, the more lunches you get out of it! | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 4, 2013 11:06:47 PM |
| | Cheddar Potato Chowder Aug 4th 2013, 21:38 Mmm...Mmmm...Good. This has great flavors, and sticks to your ribs. When I made it, I made a roux by melting 4 tablespoons butter and adding the flour to it and eventually the milk and cheese. I also used more onion and more celery. I will post the recipe as written.

| | Alea's Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham Aug 4th 2013, 21:13 Alea Milham says, "I love being able to serve Sunday dinner shortly after arriving home from church. But I don't like leaving the oven on while we are gone. I do feel comfortable leaving the slow cooker on, so I occasionally use it to make Honey Glazed Ham. I can cook the ham for one hour on high, then turn it to low before we leave and arrive home to a delicious ham. Once home, all I have to do is quickly saute some veggies to go with the ham while my husband slices it and my kids set the table. Then we can sit down and enjoy a low-labor, but fairly elegant Sunday dinner. I do not use spiral sliced hams because they tend to dry out in the cooking process. Plus spiral sliced hams tend to be more expensive. You can save money by buying an uncut and unglazed ham and creating the glaze yourself. Homemade honey glaze is fast and easy to makes and yields delicious results." From 5dollardinners.com. | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 4, 2013 10:13:08 PM |
| | Apple Pie Potpourri (Non-Food) Aug 4th 2013, 21:04 When peeling apples for cooking/baking/snacking, don't discard the peels. Instead, multi-purpose them to make this aromatic potpourri that smells like a freshly-baked apple pie. Use it as a real estate selling tactic, to set the mood for a party or simply for your own enjoyment. It's easy to make and all-natural. | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 4, 2013 10:04:24 PM |
| | Alea's Meat Lover's Hashbrown Casserole Aug 4th 2013, 20:48 Alea Milham says, "As I was getting ready to make my breakfast casserole, I suddenly had the impulse to make it healthier by adding vegetables. I asked my kids what vegetable they though I should add and my oldest son replied "Bacon!" My son't transcripts from college indicated that he is quite bright, so I am pretty sure he knows bacon isn't a vegetable. I think bacon is just his default answer to most questions. I have discovered that if you ask male college students what you should add to any recipe the most common answer is bacon. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself. Bacon is more expensive per pound than most of the meat I buy, so when it goes on sale I stock ip and freeze it for later use. I also cook up a batch and crumble it and use it sparingly in recipes to add flavor rather than using it as a side dish. Whether you make the hashbrowns from scratch or use frozen hashbrowns that have thawed, be sure to squeeze out all of the excess liquid. Removing the excess liquid is essential to prevent the casserole from becoming runny. You can make this with whatever meat you have on hand. I usually make my hashbrown casserole with ham, but sausage works well too. And a combination of both ham and sausage is always a hit. No matter what meat you use, cut it into very small pieces. This allows you to get a nice meaty flavor throughout the casserole while using as much meat of other casseroles." | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 4, 2013 9:48:26 PM |

| | Spiced Orange Potpourri (Non-Food) Aug 4th 2013, 17:41 Instead of throwing out your orange peels, put them to good use in your crock pot! I love how this mixture of orange peels and spices fills my home with a warm, inviting aroma. Making your own potpourri can't get any easier than this! Even better--it's non-toxic!  | Rating: 0 Created: Aug 4, 2013 6:41:00 PM |
