"Adapted from my local newspaper as a replacement for the too expensive Beluga caviar. I don't personally like caviar, but my husband does. If you can't find Greek yogurt, you can strain regular yogurt through cheesecloth until it is thickened and almost cheese-like."
"Crook's Corner is a restaurant in Chapel Hill, NC. This is a dish served at the restaurant and I found the recipe in the latest Southern Living magazine. I made this last night for dinner and my husband and I went nuts for it, it's the ultimate comfort food. Don't let the long list of ingredients throw you off, this goes together quickly and easily."
"A Cajun classic, meal in one pot! Have the hot sauce ready to splash on. Serve with some crusty french bread, a nice crisp salad, and some of your favorite wine. :)"
This is one of my favourites. I’ve been making Chicken in Mango Cream Sauce over Pasta for years. Now that I mainly only make freezer meals, I was missing its flavours, so I adapted the recipe into a freezer meal
Lunch doesn’t get more satisfying than an Asian Rice Bowl! This one is even better because it can be made ahead. Then it’s so quick to have it on your plate.
I know this recipe sounds strange. The name alone is unusual. When I first discovered this combination of flavors in a Sandi Richard cookbook, I was skeptical too. But the tastes meld together into this beautiful autumn dish that soon won our whole family over. I’ve adapted the African Thai Stew recipe into a freezer meal that is just as flavourful.
These vegetarian black bean and corn enchiladas can be made ahead and frozen. The flavors are intense in all the best ways. This hearty, family-friendly meal will be one you will make again and again.
Enjoying a meatless meal every once in a while is a great way to save money and eat healthier. But just because your dinner isn’t made with meat doesn’t mean it has to lack flavour. This simple slow cooker chana masala recipe features a spicy tomato sauce over protein packed chickpeas, making it a delicious vegetarian dish everyone in the family will love.
With the help of this four ingredient Russian chicken recipe, you can whip up a delicious chicken dinner for your family with just a few minutes of prep work!
Combine chicken breast with sweet pineapple chunks, crispy veggies, and savoury teriyaki sauce, then pop everything in the freezer until you’re ready to eat. After that, simply dump the ingredients in your slow cooker, set it, and forget it until dinner time!
These Grits are far less fat than traditional ones, but are still creamy and delicious. Grits are a fantastic food. They are inexpensive, quick, and easy to make. They can be a great alternative to mashed potatoes, with more nutrients and fewer calories, or you can serve them as a smart carboydrate with breakfast
I can eat grits for breakfast or shrimp and grits for dinner. It doesn’t matter, as long as I have grits a few times a week.
Another way I like to eat grits is to fry an egg over easy and mix it in with a bowl of grits. When the yolk breaks and it all mixes together, I’m in hog heaven

Chef's tip for the following main course recipe: Use fresh artichokes whenever possible. If pressed for time or fresh artichokes aren't available, use two 6-ounce jars of marinated artichoke hearts, drained.
(Recipe from Michael Kimmel, executive chef, Tarpy's Roadhouse, Monterey, Calif.)
As for the perfect dressing, two main preferences have been observed: Eastern states prefer butter, while Western regions opt for mayonnaise or aioli.
Artichokes are not hard to prepare, and these two recipes suggest tasty uses as an appetizer or side dish, and a main dish.
This fresh, herby preparation makes a fine appetizer.

During the fall, persimmons make their way onto menus across the South, boasting their bright-orange skin and umami-esque flavor characteristics. Chef Hadley Long of Nashville’s Margot Cafe & Bar makes this warm blistered persimmon and radicchio salad with Belgian endive, roasted feta, spiced walnuts, and pomegranate ginger dressing. Long recommends sourcing persimmons through local farms—you can find him perusing the Nashville Farmers Market in search of the best.
Be sure to use the best-quality, mild tasting extra virgin olive oil you can find. The first time I made this I used a cheap, bitter-tasting oil and it really altered the taste of the final product. You can adjust the pan sizes slightly, but don’t vary more than an inch because it will effect greatly the thickness of the focaccia.
