I posted this on yesterday's dinner thread. It's our favourite pasta dish. Quick, easy and so good!

I remember I did post this recipe quite a while ago, and Patti commented that I hate cilantro, but will eat anchovies. LOL

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

1/4 cup olive oil

4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

28-oz can whole tomatoes

1/2 cup kalamata, pitted and halved

3 anchovy fillets, chopped (I squeeze in some paste)

1 1/2 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flaes

3/4 lb spaghetti

2 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrent, 1 minute. Add tomatoes, olives, anchovies, capers, oregano and red pepper flakes.

Simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, breaking up tomatoes with wooden spoon, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile cook pasta, drain and add to sauce. Combine until coated. Serve topped with parsley.

I had some feta cheese that needed to be used up and I put chunks in it at the table. It was an excellent addition!

I saw this in our newspaper today. Sounds good to me! She calls it "Accidental" because she just grabbed bottles from her pantry and mixed them together for a marinade.

ACCIDENTAL CHICKEN (Jennifer Weigel, Chicago Tribune)

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. honey
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 2 boneless skinless breast halves

Mix oil, vinegar, soy sauce and honey together in a bowl. Add chicken and allow to marinate at least 5 minutes, or all day if you want.

Heat skillet over medium heat; add chicken and all the marinade at once. Cover and simmer 8 minutes a side. The sauce will be sticky.

Serve with steamed rice and some of the cooked marinade as a sauce. Serves 2.

Yum, I love soy sauce and balsamic Patti!
I'm not that great with improvisation.

Glad to see you posting.
Is everyone tired of cooking and seeing recipes? Do you want us to give the thread a break for a while?

A friend of mine sent me this recipe, and she makes them. She's never baked them in the microwave. I doubt if I would either because I wouldn't bake just one, but it might be worth a try.

We fry, cool, and freeze. This is my MIL's recipe for Sauerkraut Balls. We don't put the garlic in them. The Cheesy Bacon Chicken Tater Tot Bake is in the crockpot, smaller version, and with frozen hash browns instead of tater tots. The convenience store was out of tater tots. Note: My 3 quart crock pot is full to the top with only 2 chicken breasts, and not all of the cheese. We will be eating at 8:00! Oh well, I will be snacking in the mean time! Tami

BEEF STEW WITH BACON (Williams-Sonoma) (Slow Cooker) 4 oz. thick-cut bacon, chopped 3 Tbs. flour 1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste 3 lb. boneless beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and cut into chunks 3/4 lb. fresh cremini mushrooms, halved if large 1/2 lb. baby carrots 1/2 lb. frozen pearl onions 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup dry red wine 1 cup beef broth 2 Tbs. tomato paste 1 Tbs. minced fresh rosemary In a large fry pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off the drippings into a small heatproof bowl, leaving about 1 Tbs. drippings in the pan. Set the pan, reserved drippings and bacon aside. In a sealable plastic bag, combine the flour, the 1 tsp. salt and the 1/2 tsp. pepper. Add the beef chunks and shake to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Return the fry pan to medium-high heat. When the drippings are hot, add half of the beef chunks and cook, turning once, until well browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining beef chunks, adding the reserved drippings if needed. Scatter the mushrooms, carrots, onions and garlic on top. Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the wine, broth and tomato paste. Mix well, bring to a boil and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Pour the contents of the pan over the vegetables and beef. Cover and cook on the high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours or the low-heat setting for 8 to 9 hours. The beef should be very tender. Stir in the reserved bacon and the rosemary. Cook, uncovered, on the high-heat setting for 10 minutes more to thicken the sauce slightly. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Serves 6.

Jasdip, I would sure hate it if we didn't have this thread every day. It was kind of you to take over for Luckygardnr when she wasn't able to do it any longer due to her health. I sure hope she's feeling better. Would it help if I posted twice--haha!

I wish more people would post recipes. I know there are plenty of good cooks out there and I, for one, love reading all sorts of recipes. It seems we have the same people posting--I wonder why more people don't join the fun?

Anyway, I appreciate your taking over for however long it takes Laurel to get better.

Okay, okay. You shamed me into it. Particularly since I'm on a diet and my every day meals are going to be pretty boring for a long while. I will start with an appetizer today. Tomorrow you will get a main dish and on friday, a dessert. I love to share recipes but I'm too lazy to get up and get my books out and type them up. This one is real easy. Both to make and to type. Good, too.

Artichoke Ham bites.

One jar of artichoke hearts. You can buy the marinated ones but I think they're too oily so I buy just plain artichokes, quartered and marinate them in Good Seasons Italian dressing. Wrap each artichoke piece with a thinly sliced piece of ham folded and wrapped like a pig in a blanket, secure with toothpick and place on foil-lined baking sheet. Just before serving, broil a few minutes until hot. Not too high in calories very tasty, and so so easy!

Cranberry Roast
1 roast, beef or pork
1 envelope dry onion soup
1 can jellied cranberries
Put dry onion soup in bottom of crock pot. Meat over that. Try and put most of the cranberries on top of meat. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
* I used a beef roast because its what I had. It wasn't bad, but next time will try pork, I think that will be scrumptious.
