Amy’s Beef Chili recipe
Originally posted August 20, 2008 I don’t know why but I have always loved chili, even when I lived on the east coast. If it had meat and beans, a bit of spice and some tomato sauce, yum-yum! I like it plain, over rice, over a baked potato, with French fries, with nachos and…

Gluten Free Gnocchi recipe
Originally posted July 13, 2009 I can still remember my Aunt Vincenzina making gnocchi at our house when she was visiting from Rome. I was only 11 yrs old but can visualize the rolling, cutting and flour, everywhere. I sometimes forget how much I like them. This weekend, I decided I needed a fix…

How to Cook Corned Beef in a Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker
Originally published on March 12, 2009 Yes, it can be done. I mean, in theory, it should be a no-brainer, right? Well, I felt the need to test so that’s what I did this week. I really like the ones that are all natural, no added nitrites/nitrates, and hormone free. Most come in a…

Gluten Free Beef Paprika recipe
Originally posted August 26, 2008 (in memory of Stuart) My friend Stuart has been after me to provide some more blog entries. Although he’s a vegetarian, I hope he doesn’t mind this one on beef. I think it’s worthy, and the recipe I provide later could also be made with a veggie ground round.…
