EDF Spanish Rice

By
Great side dish for any meal! Easy to make and great reheated!

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken stock or water with 1 bouillon cube (or plain water)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Heat oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook until just starting to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and carrot, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice to coat. Add chicken stock or water, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stir once, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and let simmer until water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Remove from heat, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, and serve warm.

Lime Sugar Cookies (from America's Test Kitchen)

By
Once again, no picture yet. I'll post one when I get a chance. This is a great alternative to just the ordinary sugar cookie with frosting. I made the whole batch and froze half of it for later. The cookies taste great just out of the freezer! (makes about 2 dozen cookies) 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon grated lime zest 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 (additional) teaspoons grated lime zest Place oven rack in the middle and heat oven to 350 F. Process 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon grated lime zest until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Put this on a shallow dish for coating and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside. Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, 3-6 minutes. Beat in vanilla and, then, the eggs and lime zest. Add eggs on...

white chicken chili

By
this is the chili of winners.  my friend made this last year for a halloween chili cook off and won the "most-unique" prize.  to me that means, "better-than-your-average-beef-and-bean chili" award.  it really is.  the original recipe comes from cha cha .  "who's cha cha" you ask? who knows.  but she's come up with a mighty fine white chicken chili recipe.  be sure to bake up some cornbread and serve it with the chili.  (i finally found my favorite cornbread recipe the other day and must share on another post!) i have posted my version of the recipe, with only a few adjustments to the spiciness.  happy chili cookin'! 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp fresh jalapeno, finely chopped 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chile peppers 2 tsp ground cumin ...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

By
in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...
