Chicken Pot Pie – In the Kitchen with Rachel O – Video

Chicken-Pot-Pie-2_6

It’s cold. It’s fall. It’s the perfect weather for Chicken Pot Pie.

I would, I could, I will eat it any time of year. But, I especially love to eat cozy foods when the weather co-operates.

Chicken-Pot-Pie-2_5

Chicken Pot Pie is one of my favorites. That might be why I have made it twice, once on each show. 😉 You can see the original here.

I don’t know if I’ve ever not liked it. I mean, can you really go wrong with a flaky crust (I used Aimée’s recipe this time, yum!), sautéed veggies, and a creamy sauce?! You are shaking your head no too, right?

Chicken-Pot-Pie-2_1

I would almost be happy just to look at it. Even the one I made for the most recent show, as ugly as I made it (I had some trouble crimping the crust… I think I need more practice), still looked amazing. But, then you cut into it… Steam pours out and you get a whiff. Oh that filling… And you know that you have to eat it right away. Something this good just can’t be made to wait.

Taco Soup – In the Kitchen with Rachel O – Video

Written by , Posted in Beans, Beef, Cheese, Dinner, Fruit, Gluten Free, In the Kitchen with Rachel O, Legumes, Main Dishes, Meat, One Dish Dinners, Soups, Vegetables

TacoSoup2-6

I love soup! I could probably eat soup every day. Summer weather is no excuse for no soup, in our home. We just can’t get enough.

Thankfully, it’s finally feeling like fall (jump, cheer, squeak of joy). So we will eat soup, will eat soup, will eat SOUP!

TacoSoup2-3

We are kinda crazy about anything taco. We love Tacos tacos, we adore Taco Salad, and we could eat endless bowls of Taco Soup. 

TacoSoup2-2

TacoSoup2-5

TacoSoup2-4

This soup is all kinds of hearty. It’s full of veggies (corn, tomatoes, zucchini, radishes, and onions), it has a bit of a kick, but not so much that it will make you sweat (but if you want it to, add another serrano or two, and keep the ribs and seeds), and you get to top it with cheese, corn chips, yogurt, salsa, and cilantro.

We liked it so much that I made it for one of my ifood.tv episodes and will probably make it again and again this fall and winter. We also thought it was good enough to bring to some friends who just had the most adorable baby girl. They agreed (even one of them who claims to dislike vegetables liked it)…

TacoSoup2-1

Here’s to a cold fall night, hot Taco Soup, and lots of time with the ones you love.

Happy Eating!

It’s About Time – Episode 76

Written by , Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, Breakfast, Brunch, Cheese, Dinner, Eggs, Fruit, Lunch, Main Dishes, Meat, One Dish Dinners, Pork, Quick and Easy, This Week's Feast, Vegetables

BreakfastBurritos2

Can we all just agree that burritos and tacos are some of the best ever foods? I made some the other week with pickled red onions, beef, and kale. Phenomenal. I’m crazy about plain old ground beef, tomato, lettuce, and cheese (heavy on the Greek yogurt and salsa, please). Make it into a salad? Yes, I’m totally down. And then there’s the less often visited breakfast burrito… We have been strangers for much too long.

BreakfastBurritos3

BreakfastBurritos4

Eating while photographing food is inevitable. And yummy. And satisfying. I don’t even need the tortilla to make me happy. But since it holds all the goodness, it can stay.

BreakfastBurritos

Two of the many things that make these particular burritos so good: the sausage and the eggs. My experience with breakfast sausage so far in my life has been those greasy little nuggets that are often served at a diner. This ain’t no diner sausage. And these eggs, oh these eggs… They’re some of the prettiest eggs I ever did see. The yolks are so bright; yellow and gold.

BreakfastBurritos6

I’m glad to no longer be a stranger to the breakfast burrito (which I fully intend to eat at any meal that I please).

I’m Baaaaack – Episode 75

Written by , Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, Cheese, Dinner, Fruit, Gluten Free, Grains, Herbs, Main Dishes, One Dish Dinners, Rice, This Week's Feast, Vegetables

EggplantTomatoRisotto3

How many ways are there to eat eggplant? Do you even like eggplant? Or are you a skeptic?

The more I cook with it, the more ways I discover that it tastes good… I didn’t used to be such a fan.

I’ve found that the salting step should not be skipped. Peeling helps too. And then of course it’s best to cook it with things that it goes well with: rice, lemon, zucchini, and tomato, for example.

EggplantTomatoRisotto5

Oh yeah, and see that scoop of rice? That’s a cup and a half. Doesn’t seem like a lot, right? I think this recipe makes enough for about 6-8 people. Gosh it made a lot. Why do I always forget that a little rice goes a loooooooong way?! Oh well, I will make the leftovers into Chicken and Rice Soup.

Yes, we eat soup in the summer. I don’t care if it’s too hot.

EggplantTomatoRisotto4

EggplantTomatoRisotto

If you don’t want leftovers, invite some friends over for a summer dinner. To go along with the Risotto you could grill some chicken and veggies, toast some cheesy Garlic Bread, drink Mint Iced Tea, and have Vanilla Ice Cream with Roasted Fruit for dessert… I’m in. When do we eat?!

Joanna – An Ambassador for De Ma Cuisine

Written by , Posted in Dairy-Free, Dinner, Fruit, Gluten Free, Grains, Herbs, Main Dishes, One Dish Dinners, Rice, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian

LentilStewForJo4A long long time ago (or about a year and a half ago), when I first started my blog, I asked a few people if they would be ambassadors. I told them that if they would tell people about my blog, I’d create a dish for and named after them.

Today, it’s Joanna’s turn.

Joanna is a dear friend of mine.

She is one of the most talented graphic designers I know.

She came up with my logo.

She designed business cards for me.

She loves food.

LentilStewForJo

Jo prefers a vegetarian diet. A while ago she asked for suggestions for getting enough protein and iron.

When I was creating a dish for her, lentils and protein were my inspiration.

Lentils are a good source of lean protein. They have lots of folic acid and fiber and are a good source of iron. (1)

I’m thankful for this amazing, beautiful, sweet woman. Jo, I hope you enjoy this dish!!
