Shrimp Scampi

Holiday Brussels Sprouts

September 5, 2018

"We wanted the food to reflect how festive and thankful we were feeling. This recipe made the list and paired beautifully with our Thanksgiving turkey. I've since served it at other family gatherings and it also plays well with beef or ham. But seriously, you don't have to wait for the holidays to try it."

Baked Acorn Squash

"This method is stupid easy and the wow factor is right up to 11 (Thank you, Spinal Tap). The flavors and textures are spot on and you can actually eat the skin. Prepare to be blown away."

Stupid Easy Croutons

"Don't buy croutons at the store. That's just dumb. Make these stupid easy croutons at home instead. Now, that's using your noggin. "

Jill’s Crock-pot Chili / Stew

September 3, 2018

"When I make chili, you can see and taste each individual ingredient. That's the way I like it. It's not authentic chili, by some people's standards, but I'm not trying to win any prescribed recipe contest here. I'm just sharing with you what I like. There. That should get the haters off my back."
