Sauteed Carrots


This is a super simple, very delicious side dish to any meal, just a handful of ingredients completes this dish and it is ready in minutes. 


This recipe calls for a set it but don't forget it approach. You don't want to let the steam go out of this dish for the first five minutes, so don't feel tempted to lift the lid and check on how they are doing. After about the five minute mark check on them, give them a few words of encouragement 'I believe in you!' you know that sort of thing, or just nix that all together and just stir them one last time and cover them back p for the remaining time. If they are the texture you like (I like mines with a little crunch, not mushy) take them out, if not let them go for a few more minutes checking the texture throughout. Enjoy! and let me know what your tweaks are to make this simple side dish even more delicious.

Simply Tweaked Haitian Stew (Soup Joumou)

Pretty much every year I look forward to having this stew. Why you ask? Well every year on January first my mother makes this. It is a traditional meal to celebrate Haitian independence day. But, there are times I cannot wait a whole year for this yummy stew, like now...so I made it. I always feel like I should consult my mother to re-tell me how to make this so I don't stray to far from the recipe. But I still like to make it my own. The original recipe calls for squash, but I decided to use pumpkin instead. Tis the season! I just love the feeling of picking my own fresh veggies and cooking with it, it is very rewarding! I ended up taking this little guy home with me! So I broke down this missive delicious pumpkin (used about half of it and stored the rest), cooked it in chicken stalk, and pureed it with sauteed garlic and shallots. To accompany it, I quartered 6 small yukon gold potatoes, chopped cabbage, 4 celery stalks chopped, 5 small carrots ch...

Simply Tweaked Beef Stroganoff

The original recipe called for the use of a pressure cooker, yet one more handy dandy thing I do not have in my repertoire of kitchen gadgets. So for this I used my regular slow cooker, just for the first bit. I used dried shitaki mushrooms instead of porcini (I couldn't find them in my local grocery store). While I had those steep in some hot water, I started browning my short ribs, which I cut in half. I set them aside to rest and in the same oil I added in my onions and mushrooms and cooked until they became golden. I added the remainder of the ingredients and let simmer for a few minutes.  I then transferred the meat and veggies to my slow cooker and let it cook away on low for 4 hours. Afterwards I removed the meat and set it aside, and transferred the sauce to a deep pot, set it on high and added in my egg noodles when it began to boil.  While the pasta cooked I sliced the beef, once the pasta was cooked through I added in the beef, dijon m...

Inspired by Rachel Ray's Farfalle with Hot Sausage and Zucchini

I love looking online for new recipes to try, and when the recipes come out extremely delicious I am an absolute happy camper. While doing my daily rummaging on my Google Plus I came across this recipe on Rachel Rays website and it sparked my interest. I thought about making it for a few weeks but never really got around to making it and opted for a very lazy meal instead, and since forgot about it. While I scrolled through my Google Plus the other day I came across the recipe again and I told myself 'Self, you are making this for dinner tonight' and I did. It came out so well I just had to pat myself on the back. I did need to make a few tweaks here and there due to not having some of the right ingredients and also making it work along with diet. So instead of the grated pecorino romano or parmigiano cheese I switched it out for Go Veggie! Mozzarella cheese. As for the hot Italian sausage, I had ground sausage on hand, and while I browned the meat I added pepper f...
