Using recipes as suggestions — just like Dad. 4-Can Tortilla Chicken Soup. September 13, 2013. No, I’m not gone forever. Yes, I’ve been gone from.

But now I’m back at least for the moment. And boy, this one is a hodge-podge recipe for the books. Behold, the ingredients:. It’s unfair how simple this is. Combine...

https://hodgepodgecook.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/v-day-chili
Using recipes as suggestions — just like Dad. Valentine’s Day Chili. February 15, 2013. As promised, here’s my great-grandfather’s recipe for beef and beans chili in the crockpot that I made for Valentine’s Day. You can also make it in a regular stockpot by simmering for an hour, but I prefer to set it and forget it. Source: Great-Grandpa Czarnecki’s original chili recipe. Don’t forget the special ingredient: a square of dark chocolate. Anything over 60% cocoa works. Into your crockpot or stock pot.

Using recipes as suggestions — just like Dad. January 30, 2013. Coming up with a title for this delicious dish was difficult, so you’re stuck with a name that does not begin to describe how tasty this cheesy ranch pasta with chicken and bacon really is. The first time I made this a few months ago, my husband raved about it and told me to make it again. So here it is! Cook and dice (or dice and cook) the chicken in 1 tablespoon reserved bacon grease (drain the rest) or melted butter to brown nicely. Measu...

Using recipes as suggestions — just like Dad. Garlic Lime Chicken Bites. February 7, 2013. Who doesn’t love Superbowl food? Even if you can’t stand football, there’s no excuse for passing up another “this is a holiday, calories don’t count” day. These are a hodge-podged attempt at making a non-spicy version of buffalo turkey meatballs and they’re gluten-free to boot. Source: inspired by I Breathe I’m Hungry. 8216;s Buffalo Balls.

Using recipes as suggestions — just like Dad. Valentine’s Day Dinner: Heirloom Chili Recipe. February 13, 2013. So I was thinking about Valentine’s Day last week and thought at the time I would be working two jobs with little time to cook – and honestly, who wants to cook on Valentine’s Day? At the same time, delivery pizza seemed like a cop-out. And then it hit me: chili in the crockpot. 1 lb lean beef. 1 clove of garlic (substitute 1/2 tsp. garlic powder or 1/2 tsp. minced garlic). Brown beef in pan an...

Pizza Quesadillas | hodgepodgecook
https://hodgepodgecook.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/pizza-quesadillas
Using recipes as suggestions — just like Dad. February 18, 2013. Whilst trolling the interwebs for something yummy, I came across this great recipe for pizza quesadillas. Think Totino’s pizza rolls, but bigger and healthier with real pepperoni and cheese. I’ve made these several times since then since it’s such a quick dinner. So quick, I often forget that I need to flip and end up with slightly-burned quesadillas. It adds to the flavor, I tell myself. Serve with additional sauce on the side for dipping.
