Stuffed French Bread Breakfast


And for my next trick... the blog post to accompany my 1000th recipe post on Facebook!

I used to make this all the time, back when I was younger and a little wilder. My sister used to host this weekend at her cabin where a bunch of us would get together for a good time, and I usually made something for breakfast. Stuffed French Bread Breakfast made an appearance more than once, since it's simple, tasty, and easy to eat with your hands around a bonfire.

Shrimp Chowder


In keeping with the cooler weather, here's another warm, tasty, surprisingly easy batch of comfort food. It's even relatively inexpensive! I'd been trying to find a recipe for shrimp chowder that had everything I wanted and failing miserably, so I decided to write my own. I think it's pretty darn tasty!

White Chicken Chili



The weather turned cold early around here, and has me thinking about comfort food. Chili is pretty high on my list of cold weather go-to meals, so I was thinking I should make some white chicken chili. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I'd taken the pictures and finally written the recipe last December, but never wrote the blog post or even so much as posted the picture and recipe on Facebook. No time like the present, I guess!

Cornish Hens with Quinoa Stuffing


This blog post is a long time coming, but it's worth the wait. Last Christmas (see, I know... stop being lazy and blog already) I was looking for something different to do for dinner. I'd recently started working with quinoa after resisting for a very long time, and much to my delight it turns out we like it. Plus, I found a source for it where it doesn't cost its weight in gold (I'm looking at you, Trader Joe's!), so I kind of went overboard for a bit. You'll have that.

This was based on a recipe for stuffed chicken I had in my files, probably from either Cooking Light or Weight Watchers, that used rice.
