Leftover ham and a turnip in the fridge... this turned out so yummy, I had to share!!

It’s funny... I made some chili last week. As I was thinking in my head, “What the hell goes in chili”? I started saying, “Wait, no. This is sounding like a beef stew”. So... I decided to make a beef stew now. It’s cold now and these dishes warm the soul. I never appreciated beef stew when I was younger. But I realize how fine of a dish it is in my older age haha.

I kinda just made up while working. I wanted to make something thing for my client that did not have chicke. So I found chuncked pork stew meat and made up the recipie with what they had.

This is a quick recipe I made today after returning from a long trip with an almost empty fridge and zero desire to cook. I was surprised by how good it turned out for how little effort it took. I'll definitely make it again!

The list of ingredients is long, and there are quite a few steps in comparison to most of my recipes, but this is extremely easy to make!I had ground lamb in my freezer so decided to do a twist on lamb stew. It's different than the norm, but still very tasty. I made my butterless drop biscuits to plop on top which turned out to be an excellent idea so I am including that in the process. You don't HAVE to do that part though.

Was craving fried food and cheese, and didn't want to pay to go out to eat. Whipped this up from what I had in the fridge: cheeses could easily be substituted, and fresh tomatoes could replace salsa. This is the wonderful monster I came up with, so easy and delicious!

Being a cook is being an artist —You can mix ingredients in your fridge or pantry and get creative results! I had some chickpea cans I wanted to use and I decided to make this vegetarian strew which turned out delicious ! I used vegetables I had in my fridge and you can too! You can substitute the green peppers for red/orange/ yellow or add any vegetables you already have like celery or carrots. The important thing is that you make it with love and you get creative while doing it.

This stew is very typical during Easter, and yesterday when I saw the cod at the store, I thought, 'I'm going to try it!' This is my quick version with what I had in the fridge, and I must say it turned out perfect!

My Mom loves her egg sandwiches with the eggs fried crispy. She also love to banana pepper rings on them. I wanted to eat the sandwich and forgot to take a picture. So here it is with a bite out of it.

The cabbage is sweet and tender! Kids love it too. It's so simple, yet my husband thinks it takes about 5 hours to make, and he loves it. The origin of this recipe: I had a lot of cabbage at home. I wanted to make something with flavors and textures that kids would enjoy. I didn't have much time, so I wanted to create a rich flavor easily. The measurements are easy to remember too!

Got this recipe from NYT Cooking when I was feeling a little adventurous (don't know what to cook, more like). It's savory and although reminds me of curry, it is not spicy at all. Goes great with rice. There are a lot of ingredients on the list so, adjust to suit taste. There's no sugar in original article, I just like to make a little sweeter)

I took two stew recipes and mashed them together to come up with this!! This time I was smart and wrote down what I did!! As always, a huge thank you to the talents of my hubby Mike for his photography talents!!
