The Fastest Disappearing Side Dish You’ll Ever See!

Don’t you just hate throwing food to waste? I really do. I grew up watching my grandmother make use of every ingredient she had on hand, whether it was leftovers or something from her backyard garden. She never threw anything away, unless for some strange reason she had missed something and it had gone bad already. Even then, she always shook her head, as if she thought she should have been more careful.

I understand why she did this; she lived through some hard times when she was young, when money was tight and they didn’t always know if they’d have anything to eat the next day. Even when she got older and could have bought all the food she could eat, she never changed her ways.

Which was also a great thing for the environment, you know! There’s all this talk about food going to waste and how we should pay attention to what and how we are consuming. That’s why I love recipes like this vegetable fried rice from The Woks Of Life! That leftover rice in your fridge? It’s perfect for this, and you don’t have to throw anything away!

This soup will cure all the worries in the world!

Did you know that according to Wikipedia, in 2000, “scientists at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha studied the effect of chicken soup on the inflammatory response in vitro. They found that some components of the chicken soup inhibit neutrophil migration, which may have an anti-inflammatory effect that could hypothetically lead to temporary ease from symptoms of illness.” Well, anyone who’s ever had chicken noodle soup knows it does cure pretty much anything!

I can’t think of a more comforting meal for those moments when you’re feeling a bit under the weather, or when you’re homesick, or suffer from a broken heart. A hot bowl filled to the rim with this magical concoction will make you feel better in an instant.

However, there is a huge difference in how you make the soup – you could just throw a bunch of these ingredients together and make a meal that will fill your belly. But if you follow this recipe and do it like it always should be done, you’re going to end up with a nectar from the heavens! After trying this recipe you will never go back to your old one again.

This soup never lets me down!

You know that dreadful moment when you’re trying to find an outfit for your friend’s wedding, and you suddenly realize none of your clothes fit anymore?

I am pretty sure there’s a mysterious creature living in my closet and it’s replacing all my dresses with the same ones, only two sizes smaller. How else would you explain it that the dress I was wearing in February, is now impossible to zip? Surely it has nothing to do with all the summer BBQ’s and daily ice cream cones.

Until I either catch that creature, or win the lottery so that I can replace all my clothes with new ones, I’ve found a brilliant way to ease into those dresses and skirts I would like to wear. I don’t like diets; I just don’t have the patience, but occasionally I feel the need to shed a couple of pounds. That’s when I start eating a bit healthier and adding some exercise into my days.

As most of us probably know, it can be a lengthy process. So I’ve come up with a way to jumpstart it! I eat this super tasty cabbage soup for a few days and it makes me feel lighter immediately.

This Really Melts In Your Mouth

I still remember it like it was yesterday. The first time my mother-in-law came over for dinner! I was terrified and excited at the same time. Excited, because she is such a wonderful person and I couldn’t wait to see what she thought of our new home. Terrified, because she is also an excellent cook, and I didn’t want to look bad serving her a mediocre, homemade meal. Nope, it had to be something special. I turned to my husband and asked what her mother’s favorite dish was.

Of course, right then and there I realized it had been a mistake. Her favorite dish turned out to be pot roast, and I had never managed to cook it the way it’s supposed to be done. It had always turned out kind of dry, or just plain and tasteless for me.

Fortunately, I had two whole weeks to practice before her visit. I must have made pot roast 3 times during that time! But it was well worth it, since I finally ended up with this amazing recipe. The dinner was a huge success and my mother-in-law really liked this pot roast. I’m sure you will, too!

The Most Delish Potato Dish We’ve Ever Made

Let me tell you, friends, this time I have something completely mind-blowing for you! My cousin just came back from a 3-week trip in Europe. She and her husband rented a van and drove across so many countries, I can’t even remember. I was green with envy when they took off since that’s something I’ve always wanted to do myself! But I’m really happy they had such a wonderful vacation – and now we’re getting to the best part. They brought back a whole cookbook filled with recipes they had tried with the locals, all over Europe!

Of course I immediately copied every single recipe – I’m always up for trying new dishes and exotic flavors. I’ve only tried a couple of them so far, but they’ve both been absolutely delish. Like this amazing Czech potato salad, for example!

I know it’s kind of hard to go wrong when you’re making potato salad (they’re all good, if you ask me) but this one turned out exceptionally tasty. It was a huge hit at our garden party last week and I intend to make it again tomorrow, when we have friends coming over for a BBQ. This one is so yummy, I could skip the entree and just eat potato salad all night long!

Quick Tip: I like to add smoked ham, but you can leave it out if preferred.

I Don’t Know Anyone Who Doesn’t Enjoy A Good Pot Roast

If you were to ask anyone in my family, they would tell you it’s one of their favorite meals. I remember my mother making a roast every weekend. Walking into our house, when you could smell the savory flavors wafting through the front door… The thought alone still makes my mouth water! So many of my most precious childhood memories are related to family meals.

One of the best things about making a pot roast is how easy it is, even if you’re not very confident of your cooking skills. Just bring out your crock pot, a chuck roast, and your favorite vegetables –  I like to add carrots, potatoes, and onions. Put everything into the crock pot and set it to low. Within a few hours, you have a complete meal ready to devour!

And if, for some strange reason, you should feel like you’re getting a little bored of the dish – just use different veggies on the side and your dinner will have fresh new flavors again. Although, I must say I have never known anyone grow tired of pot roast! Even my picky eaters gobble it up so fast that I hardly get a bite of it myself.

Quick Tip: Use pork instead of beef roast, if you’d like!

Once every two weeks or so I get a request from my little one to “please mommy make the cabin dinner again”

The first time she said that, I had no idea what she was talking about. I mean, sure – the meals I make are not exactly Michelin star restaurant-style, if you know what I mean, but I wouldn’t actually call them cabin meals, either. To me it sounded like something that comes out of a box when you’re on a flight to a tropical destination. And NOT in first class.

After a couple of questions I was able to find out it was cottage pie she so desperately wanted me to make! It really has become her favorite meal, and whenever we are having mashed potatoes it goes without saying that there will be cottage pie the next day.

Sometimes I even have to make mashed potatoes just for this dish – I don’t mind, because I see how much she loves it. I’ve tried several recipes and this one never fails. I would highly recommend making a double batch – you’re going to want to have some leftovers for lunch the next day!
