Venison chili
Posted in Crock-Pot Cooking, tagged venison chili on February 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is a riff on my basic chili recipe (I usually use ground turkey a la Rachael Ray’s recipe). Either venison chop or ground venison is good for this. Last night, I used a combination of diced venison chop and ground beef. This could easily be done on the stove if necessary.
Dragon Stew
Posted in Crock-Pot Cooking, Weekend Projects, tagged dragon stew on February 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The name of this recipe is a throwback to childhood, when my mom read me a story about “Dragon Stew” – the dragon was actually the chef, not the main ingredient. I like to serve this with Bisquick-box dumplings. This recipe could easily be adapted for the crock pot; just do the dumplings when you [...]
Risotto

Risotto is one of my favorite things to make. A) I love the taste B) It’s pretty easy once you figure out the basic recipe. C) It’s also really easy to adapt to your taste.
Bourbon-spiked short ribs and cheesy grits

This recipe is inspired by what was my favorite brunch dish at Tallula, an Arlington restaurant I enjoy. When they took it off the menu, I took matters into my own hands. The ribs could be done in the crock pot.
Aunt Barb dip

This recipe, which I first got from my Aunt Barb, is always a hit at parties. I think b/c it’s a southwestern dip that isn’t the typical salsa/beans/cheese concoction.
German potato salad

This is a recipe which Eve gave me that I then fiddled with a bit. I hate mayo, so traditional potato salad doesn’t really appeal to me.
Fish tacos

I’ve seen other versions that are more cabbage and mayo tastic, but this is the way I like them.
Tortilla soup

I like the more chicken broth-based tortilla soups than the thick, cheesy, nacho-y kind. Good to make when someone has a cold because it’s soup and it’s spicy.
