Coney Island Chili Dog Fall Recipe

Coney Island Chili Dog Crock Pot Recipe, Its Tailgating time folks! Enjoy your favorite game with this classic. This delicious sauce it's cooked in a crock pot bringing all the tastes together and more time for you to enjoy the game!
Hola Amigos! Is your family a sport junkie family? Do you Tailgate? Do you gather around your big screen with friends to watch the Sunday games? This is the season for that and for sport related snacks. This is a very simple post about a humble food, the Coney  Dog! I live in a state where Coney Dogs and Hockey are taken very seriously! To the point that two restaurants, side by side of each other claim to have the best Coney Dogs in Detroit. Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island, I'm sure you have seen this well known "friendly fight" on shows like Food Wars and Man vs Food, but since neither of these TV shows or restaurants are sponsoring my post I would leave it there and move on to the recipe.

Coney Island Chili Dog Crock Pot Recipe, It's Tailgate season and this is a classic. Even better when the delicious Chili sauce cooks in a crock pot giving you more time to enjoy the games! #coneydog #chilidog #gamedayfood

This here is my (not Mi)  version of a Coney Dog (chili dog). It has very little in common with what you will probably get a  Coney Restaurant, but that is the point of this post. Take a classic, make it the way  your family likes it and Own It!...soon you won't be eating out at all, more money for that game trip to the baseball field, football stadium or hockey arena.

This recipe is cooked on a crock pot to make it even easier! I really love my crock pot, makes everything so easy and since it's cooked over time and low heat everything melts giving it the typical chili consistency to the recipe.No big chunks here.

Use the hot dog of your liking. We like to hear the "Snap"! so we get the ones with natural casing, 100% beef at our local butcher shop ( I live in a small town )

It's still looks like an original Coney...with onions and mustard, but the chili and sauce is what makes the difference.

We were having an almost summer like weather here,  all of the sudden BUM! Fall!!! It went from 81 to 60 overnight!!! So guess what we are having for dinner?
Thank you for visiting the blog today! Would love to hear what is your favorite way to eat a Coney? I found mine, have you found yours yet?

Besitos, 
Lizy

Orzo and Chicken Autumn Skillet Meal Recipe

Hola Amigos! We had an unusually warm day for this time in the year up here. But still, it was one of those days that some comfort food was in order. I went to the store to get me some chicken and thought about trying the new chicken helpers on the market, just to make a quick meal but I couldn't Something about sweet and sour chicken coming out of a box doesn't sound too appealing to me, no matter how easy it looks.
I tell you guys, best decision ever! For about the same price I made this delicious and easy 1 skillet meal.
Maybe lady luck was on my side because all the mayor components were on sale! The rest we all have in our pantries.

A homemade meal to feed 4 for about $5 (well not counting the caramel apple candy corn and diet pop I got)!

This is your ideal Fall and Winter meal, easy, warm and comforting! In my book it doesn't get any better than that. Dinner is done in no time leaving plenty of time to enjoy the crisp weather and sunsets outside with the family.

Thank You for your visit to the blog today! I hope you are able to try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we did. Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy

Orzo and Chicken Autumn Skillet Meal
Ingredients:
1 Pd Chicken Tenders (was on sale)
1 Pd Baby Spinach (was on sale for $1)
1 Small can Mushrooms slices (was on sale for $.89)
1 Large Onion, sliced
1 Clove Garlic, minced
2 Cup Chicken Broth
1/3 Cup Orzo (was on sale for $1)
1 Tbsp oil for browning
Directions:
Season your chicken as you usually do with salt and pepper. I add a pinch of celery salt to mine all the time.
In a large skillet add the oil. Let it get hot and add your onion and garlic clove. Cook until your onions are transparent, always keeping an eye on your garlic not to burn. Add the chicken and brown. Add spinach, mix in with the chicken. Add orzo, mushrooms and broth. Cook for the time indicated on the box. I cooked mine 12 minutes. We really don't like our pasta quite al dente, neither mushy so that time was good for me. If you like it more al dente by all means cook it for only 8 minutes which is the box recommended time.
Let it sit for a couple of minutes for the pasta to absorb the sauce and serve with Parmesan cheese and bread. Enjoy

Prep and cooking time 30 minutes                                                                  Serves 4

Woodland Ogre Halloween Beef and Pasta Stoup Recipe

Woodland Ogre Beef and Pasta Stoup Recipe, Days and Evenings are getting colder! Bring back the warmth with this hearty "Stoup" Stew and Soup all in one and good enough to feed and Ogre! Perfect if you celebrate Halloween or Harvest!
Hola Amigos: Not everything hasto be skulls, bones and witches for Halloween right? there are plenty of other fun characters out there to play along with make a recipes around them. This is one example, the friendly (?) Ogre!
We all learned to love that green fellow capable of making the "princess"  forget about getting  the ultimate makeover and be true to herself.  I wasn't quite fond of his taste for dinner (neither were the 3 blind mice) but I'm sure this dish would satisfy his appetite and the appetite of any of our own big and little ogres at home!
Woodland Ogre Beef and Pasta Stoup Recipe. When soup is hearty enough to feed an Ogre it should be called a "Stoup" . Comfort food just like a Stew but easy to prepare as soup! A crock pot meal perfect for Fall or Winter!

It's a crock pot dish too...so no need to slave over a cauldron  to enjoy comfort food at the end of a cool Fall or Winter's day!
Woodland Ogre Halloween Beef and Pasta Stoup Recipe, a hearty meal to bring comfort when the weather is getting colder. Beef and pasta together in one Crock Pot Meal!

Just like a real Ogre would do, don't even worry to much about perfectly cutting veggies, just rough chop everything and after 4 hours or so enjoy the goodness!

As you can see here, nothing is Mushed <-----not quite sure that's an actual word but you get the idea. Everything remains whole giving it the perfect "Stoup" consistency...a Stew and Soup together! what is not to love about it!

Here you have it my friends! Like our favorite character said once "Ogres (and bloggers) are like onions", no we don't stink, but we have layers and deep inside we all believe in fairy tales and we  bring them to life with projects, crafts or why not a recipe! Enjoy and remember that everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy


Woodland Ogre Halloween Beef and Pasta Stoup
Ingredients:
1 (1 1/2-2 Pound) Chuck Roast
1 Small Bag Frozen Stuffed Pasta
(I had Ravioli handy, but you could use Tortellini too)
1 14.5 Oz Can Petite Diced Tomatoes
1 14.5 Oz Can Sweet Corn
1 14.5 Oz Can Beef Broth
1 14.5 Oz Can Condensed Tomato Soup
1 Large Onion Chopped
8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms
Salt, Pepper, Celery Salt , Onion Powder to taste (or use your own favorite spice mix)
Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Get your Crock Pot ready.
Make a bed with your chopped onion and place the roast on top, add the rest of ingredients except the Parmesan Cheese.
Cook for 4 hours. Serve with some Parmesan Cheese on top and Enjoy
Personal Tip: I like to use chuck roast for soups because it's not expensive and it gives the best flavor to soups, stock and broths, but I don't like the fact that it has bones and a bit too much fat for my taste, so I take the extra step of trimming the bone and fat before I freeze it, so it is ready to go when I need it. 

Prep Time: 5 Minutes                              Cooking Time 4 hours                         Serves 6 Bowls

Easy Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja Recipe

Easy Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja Recipe, Enjoy the flavors of Latin America with this savory dish! Comfort food Latin Style!
Hola Amigos! This is a super easy, crock it and forget it recipe for Flank Steak. It's based on a traditional Latin dish called Ropa Vieja or Ragged Clothes. My mom makes the best Ropa Vieja ever, and for 10 years now I haven't had the "real stuff" like I like to call it, sad, I know. No matter how much I've tried I just can't make it exactly like hers, so I gave up and decided to wait till my mami cooks some for me and made my own recipe.

There are numerous versions to this dish, mine has only a few ingredients and that is what I really love. Lots of flavor, very little effort. The key is the day before you know you are going to cook your Flank Steak, Season it! It will pay up with taste I promise you!

My other favorite ingredients are easily found on the Latin isle of your grocery store, Mojo Criollo, Sazon with Coriander and Annatto and Recaito (cilantro base). These ingredients will put the Latin flavor to your beef and every meal without the typical Mexican seasonings most people are used to.

The best way to eat this savory dish is with a side of rice and a side of black beans and plantains! I couldn't find any plantains at my store when I was about to make it (now there's a ton) but just the black beans and rice are heavenly.

Now if you are my husband, then you skip this and go straight for a bun and cheese! Hey, I won't argue, as long as it gets eaten I'm good...(he wouldn't be able to do this to my mom,  though,  lol )

Have a great weekend friends and remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!  and the hubs just added...and a bun!

Besitos,
Lizy

The Cheesiest Salmon Mac'n Cheese Recipe

Hola Amigos! I love a good Mac'n Cheese and I love it even more with my favorite fish ever, Salmon! You could easily substitute the salmon  with hamburger, chicken, tuna or just have it plain! I just happened to get some salmon on sale and since it was just a little over half pound it wasn't going to be enough to feed us all as it.

So what makes this Mac'n Cheese the cheesiest? well how about 3 cups of cheese melted in a deliciously creamy Bechamel sauce and then baked to golden perfection! Did I mention that there is 3 kind of cheese too? yummm.

Perhaps this dish is not to have every week in fear of getting an expanding waste, but the days soon will be getting colder and mac'n cheese is the go to comfort food of excellence and loved by all!

You will love this recipe. It's one of those which taste even better the next day...if there're any leftovers.
Thank you for your visit today! Hope you are enjoying your week so far! Keep in mind my friends, that no matter how humble the dish is, it will always taste better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy

Add your 2 cups of cheese to the Bechamel sauce. gently mix until the cheese is melted. 
Fold the noodles in this sauce. Don't break them.
Put some of the noodles in a baking dish, Top them with half a cup of your cheese crumbles, add more noodles and the rest of your crumbles. Sprinkle your noodles with as much as the seafood seasoning as you wish.
Place in the oven for 35 minutes until golden and bubbly! Listo, Serve and enjoy!
