Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
This crock pot beef stroganoff is an easy variation of a favorite. I used to prepare it the traditional way with sour cream but was out of it one night, so I used cream cheese instead. My husband and I liked it even better! Serve over hot cooked egg noodles or rice.
Candied Nuts
This is one of my favorites not only to have on hand at home, but to pull together for a last minute hostess gift.
Vegan (Say What?!) Gumbo
Gumbo (a West African word that means 'okra') is traditionally served over long-grain white rice, but feel free to health it up by using brown rice. I was challenged to come up with a vegan gumbo recipe that removed the meat, but kept similar consistency, texture, and that savory, spicy flavor. Laissez les bons temp rouler!
