  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 can Ranch Style Beans

  1. Brown meat with onions, and drain the grease off.
  2. Add all together and simmer for at least 15 minutes, until thoroughly heated.
  3. Serve over Fritos or tortilla chips, with sour cream, jalapeños and grated cheddar cheese on the side. Also very tasty with Ranch dressing over the top.

Crock Pot Chicken
 
Recipe Type: Dinner, Main, Poultry, Crock Pot

Serves: 4
I love my Crock Pot. I love chicken from Burbank’s Handy Market. Together, they make a delicious and easy dinner… Really, prep time is about 5 minutes.
Ingredients
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1t paprika
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1t olive oil
  • 1C water
  • 1 1/2 t honey
Instructions
  1. Remove giblets and neck from chicken, if they’re still in there.
  2. Sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika in bottom of Crock Pot. Also drizzle with honey. Pour water in. Place chicken in Crock Pot. Drizzle top with oil and honey. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours (until breast meat registers 180F with a meat thermometer).
  4. After cooking in the Crock Pot, it’s yummy crisped in the oven for 30 minutes, uncovered, at 375F, to brown the skin. Or, just serve it as is.
 
Notes

It’s great with Lemon Spinach Risotto! Actually, it’s really good with most anything.
You can save the bones and any skin and make stock the next day too!

Recipe Type: Soup, Dinner
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 10 mins

Total time: 6 hours 10 mins
Serves: 4
A filling, hearty, delicious winter dinner!
Ingredients
  • 1/2 – 1LB ground beef
  • 3T olive oil
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 1/2 t nutmeg
  • 1/4 t cayenne
  • 1/2 T cumin
  • 1 t red pepper flakes
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2T and 1 1/2 T balsamic vinegar, divided
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 C dried black beans
  • 8 C water
  • 1 C kidney beans
  • 1 C pinto beans
  • 1 (14oz) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos
  • 1/4 C (homemade, if you have it) BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 C tomato soup (or tomato sauce)
  • 1/2 – 1 C plain yogurt
  • 2-3 T honey
  • 1-2 T brown sugar
  • avocado
  • cheese, grated
Instructions
  1. Brown beef in olive oil with seasonings and balsamic vinegar.
  2. Add onion when beef is mostly cooked; 3 min. Add garlic, cook 1 minute. Add (rinsed) dried black beans (they don’t need to be soaked overnight), BBQ sauce, tomato soup or sauce, and 8C water. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer; 3-4 hours (or until beans are soft).
  3. Add kidney and pinto beans and tomatoes; 30 min.
  4. Check seasoning: Add more (of above seasonings unless if it’s too spicy), add: yogurt, honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, 1-3 C water. Cook until liquid is mostly gone for a nice thick chili, 30 min – 2 hours (depending on desired thickness of chili).
  5. Serve topped with: avocado, cheese, yogurt and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Notes

You could use canned beans. Cooking time would be drastically reduced to 1-2 hours. You could also use the crock pot. For dried beans, it could take 8-10 hours, for canned 4-6 (these are estimates).

Great with mini cornbread muffins with butter and honey.

You Have to Try This Chicken! (Roasted Chicken)

Written by , Posted in Dinner, Low Carb, Main Dishes, Meat, Poultry

You Have to Try This Chicken!
Recipe Type: Main, Poultry, Dinner
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 90 mins
Total time: 1 hour 35 mins
Serves: 2-4
This is one of the easiest dinners ever, and one of the best chickens I’ve ever made (although nothing will beat the chicken my Oma makes!).
Ingredients
  • 1 whole chicken (remove the neck and giblets if they’re still in there – yes, gross!) – keep the skin on!
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/4 C apple cider
  • 1/4 C white wine
  • splash of water
  • salt, pepper
  • 1 t French Green Blend Salt (it says there is Atlantic sea salt, sea lettuce and dulse nori in it, in case you can’t find the blend)
Instructions
  1. Line a baking dish with foil, drizzle foil with olive oil and a tiny sprinkle of salt and pepper, and pour in cider, wine and water.
  2. Place chicken, breast side up, and drizzle with oil and season with salts and pepper.
  3. Bake at 375F for 90 minutes (basting every 30), or until a meat thermometer inserted into a thick part of the meat (not touching bone) reads 180F.
Notes

I served this with cheesy polenta (basically – cornmeal in boiling water, with cheese stirred in) and sauteed veggies. It would also be great with any sort of potatoes and baked broccoli. Oh, and eat the skin – it tastes amazing! 🙂
