Micki’s Morsels

Easy Does It.

Never having tried Skyline Chili, or 3-way chili, or Cincinnati-Style chili before I actually made this dish, I was hesitant. But a new, easy main dish was needed. The flavors are perfectly complimentary with nothing overpowering. Thanks to my sister for giving me this recipe! Feel free to share your recipes with me to try and share.

Low-Carb Inspiration

Taylor is writing a paper on low-carbohydrate diets, and I couldn’t help but be inspired. This recipe is good for one or two people and can be made using variations of meats, cheeses and spices. It cooked in the oven in about 15 minutes and was similar to a crustless quiche. See the recipe. (more…)

A Nice Combination of Flavors.

All dressed up is the only way to eat Mahi Mahi. I find it to be a more pungent fish, which is fine by me as long as you tone it down with other flavors. Here, I topped the cooked fish with a cranberry sauce and croutettes and served it alongside asparagus for complementary tastes and colors. (more…)

No Knife Needed.

A little warmed whole cranberry sauce and gravy give a special flavor to these fork-tender chops. The broth and seasoning are meant to add a very subtle flavor so they won’t compete with the sauces. Therefore, I suggest you use some type of sauce (orange marmalade warmed, for example) if you don’t like cranberry sauce. I cooked my butterfly pork chops for 3 hours in the crockpot, but cooking time will vary depending on size and cut of meat, so I would just cook one extra so that you can pick at it during various stages of cooking.  Recipe follows.
