Bierocks (aka Runzas): Beef and Cabbage Stuffed in Bread

March 1, 2010 by Ellen · 2 Comments 

I was thumbing through some old magazines before donating them to the library and came across this recipe for bierocks in an old Cooking Light magazine, apparently something the Russian Mennonites brought over (the recipe, not the magazine!)  When I was growing up, we seldom ate out or picked up takeout, but a great little [...]

Chicken and Rice Burritos

February 21, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Never overlook the recipes that come on the packaging of what you are eating! In this case, Mission flour tortillas recipes. I think I’m going to have to explore their web site for more great recipes as this was a definite winner!  My daughter felt like Mexican food and I felt like not going to [...]

Chicken Biryani Curry

February 13, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I made some more great Indian curries the other night. The basic recipe comes from Jamie’s Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals, one of my favorite new cookbooks. The chicken curry is pictured to the left here. To the right is Vegetable Jalfrezi. 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1 inch [...]

Roast Chicken with Really Good Gravy

February 8, 2010 by Ellen · 1 Comment 

As I mentioned in the post on roast vegetables, I’d really enjoyed watching Oliver’s Twist 2 , which I got from Netflix. (Note: link is an affiliate link to Amazon.) Roast chicken is good. And even if you do nothing more than rub a little olive oil or butter, sprinkle some salt and pepper, maybe [...]

Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

January 20, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This chicken tortilla soup has a nice kick to it but not too much. The avocados smooth it out, the lime juice adds a tartness, and the chips add a nice crunch. Don’t salt the broth much as the chips do that for you I find! I started with some great homemade chicken broth and [...]

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Redux

January 18, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My girls remembered when I made these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps and asked for them again. Of course, this was last minute and I decided to try a modified version,  since I had no cabbage or chow mein noodles. We did miss the crunch of the chow mein noodles and water chestnuts but I substituted [...]

Jamie Oliver’s Chicken Tikka Masala but Made with Chicken Biryani Curry Paste’

January 17, 2010 by Ellen · 3 Comments 

I spent some time in a local Indian grocery store today and found the Patak Curry I wanted, but not the exact variation. Note that the link is to Amazon’s page of all the Patak curry paste. I am ready to order more!  They cost more than at my local grocer but they have all [...]

Chicken Korma from Jamie’s Food Revolution

January 16, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This very mild curry has a creamy mild taste and will likely be quite acceptable to young children.  The book says you could also make this with shrimp! My daughter isn’t a huge fan of onions but she said they tasted good in this. I took my 15 year old to the bookstore today as [...]

Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas

January 15, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Feeds 4 with lots of rice and beans and maybe a salad. Okay, I need to perfect this. It doesn’t have quite the flavor I was hoping for. I think the sour cream is key. I think maybe a tomatillo sauce instead of the green chilies could be good. Still, this was good, just a [...]
