I would have to call this recipe Half Taco/Half Enchilada.  Tacos baked in refried beans and tomatoes make the bottom of the taco soft and the top nice and crunchy.  Taco night will never be the same… 2 (10-ounce can Ro-Tel tomatoes 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans 1 Tbsp. hot sauce 1/4 cup chopped fresh…

Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a warm apple pie for breakfast?  It takes about 2 minutes to put this in your slow cooker.  Wake up, put the coffee on and breakfast is served.  This recipe uses steel cut oats, a little more sturdier than rolled oats.  Perfect for cold, winter weekday mornings to…

Trying to lower your cholesterol?  High cholesterol doesn’t have any symptoms, so you won’t know you have it unless you get tested. Trying to make changes to your diet can be difficult, but lifestyle changes may help your cholesterol and improve your health overall. With all the side affects that medication has these days, I…

We are all very excited to have another chance to re-create some of Katie Workman’s recipes from The Mom 100 Cookbook for #SundaySupper!  When I first got her book, the first thing I wanted to try was her One-Pot Arroz con Pollo.  This is a great, filling meal with tender chicken and lots of great…

This is the first time I have used tomatillos.  My niece has been on a Mexican food kick, looking for small out-of-the-way restaurants with homey, authentic  Mexican flavors.  She inspired me to try something a little more authentic.  Look for firm tomatillos, still in their husks with no bruises. Chicken: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken…

Familiar dishes always return.  If you have had your fill of turkey (for now), freeze a few TV dinners for a busy night or for just when you get that “craving” again!  Old fashioned croquettes go great with steak or any meal.  Of course you can add the traditional turkey to the croquettes as well…

You know it.  You love it. Molten hot soup with caramelized onions in a rich, beef broth covered with lots of melted cheese that comes up right up in strings with the first spoonful. This is an easy version that might not be the French recipe the Julia Child would make, but it serves 2-3…

Trying to duplicate fast food is easy, if you know the secrets. Tender bites of spicy, boneless chicken on top of creamy, homemade mashed potatoes, corn (who doesn’t mix their corn with mashed potatoes?), gravy and cheese. I got the spices in the coating for the chicken right, but the gravy was another story. Most…

The idea of cooking a cake upside down, is an old technique that started centuries ago when cakes were cooked in cast iron skillets.  The idea of the pineapple came soon after 1911 when one of the James Dole’s engineers had invented a machine to cut his pineapple into nice rings.  Soon the convenient and…

 It goes without saying, that when in Philadelphia, you must stop and get a cheesesteak sandwich.  I’m sure you have all heard about the feud between Geno’s and Pat’s – we went to Pat’s King of Steaks.  Geno’s is directly across the street.  The line was around the corner as you can see.  This place is…

Comfy Cuisine was started 9 months ago – simply because I was unemployed and needed to do something!  10,000 page views later I can tell you that this has been an amazing adventure for me.  I have met so many great people, great senses of humor and fabulous cooks.  All of us with “food on…
