Crockpot Roasted Potatoes

November 17, 2015 Chef Ria

Here in the Deep South, Summer has yet to relinquish it's hold. We are still a few weeks away from consistent cooler temps. Now don't get me wrong, I love having an extended Summer. When it is warm I try not to cook in my oven. This adds a bit of question as to how… Continue reading Crockpot Roasted Potatoes

Sweet Potato Hummus

October 18, 2013January 2, 2015 Chef Ria

Fall means only one thing around my house, Football. While I may love the changing of the leaves, the mosquitoes going away or my sexy fall boots. My Mister doesn't care for any of that. All he wants to do is sit in front of the TV with his remote and snacks. Pee-wee, High… Continue reading Sweet Potato Hummus

Tomato Soup with Cheese Tortellini

November 24, 2012January 2, 2015 Chef Ria

I read somewhere that fast food does not need to be junk food. And this quick fix is exactly that. Fast food. It’s so simple, only 3 ingredients. This reminds me of SpaghettiOs I used to eat as a kid. Except this is the adult version. Total time from start to finish 15 minutes. Of… Continue reading Tomato Soup with Cheese Tortellini

Slowcooked Southwest Black Beans

January 22, 2012January 2, 2015 Chef Ria

This recipe is too easy not to share. There are only two ingredients. One 15oz can of black bean and one 16oz jar of salsa. That's it...nothing else...OK maybe 1/3 cup of water. The instructions are even easier. Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker until tender. About 2 -3 hours depending on the temperature… Continue reading Slowcooked Southwest Black Beans

Zucchini, Black Bean and Rice Skillet

September 29, 2011January 2, 2015 Chef Ria

I never knew how wonderful fire roasted tomatoes could taste, until I tried this Zucchini, Black Bean and Rice Skillet. This recipe takes about 30 minutes to prep and about 30 minutes to cook, and thus does not make a great for a time saver recipe. This skillet dish is a rather hearty meal and… Continue reading Zucchini, Black Bean and Rice Skillet

Sticky Cakes

September 15, 2011February 3, 2017 Chef Ria

Lately I have been following Hungry Girl. She seems to have a short cut for just about everything. These mini cakes were super simple to make and only require two ingredients; box cake mix and one 12 oz can of pop (aka: soda pop, soda, cold drink or coke) They did not turn out like… Continue reading Sticky Cakes

Time Saver – Rainbow Slaw (Broccoli, Cabbage and Carrots)

September 8, 2011June 24, 2014 Chef Ria

I think I may have found the best time saver ever, ok, maybe not ever but I'm sure I can find many uses for this. I have been known to buy fresh stir fry veggies in a bag (located next to the salad in the produce section). The veggies are usually too large for my… Continue reading Time Saver – Rainbow Slaw (Broccoli, Cabbage and Carrots)
