The Menu:

  • Chicken Chili
  • Top with chopped onions, corn chips, grated cheddar, sour cream, limes

One of the few Barefoot Contessa recipes that doesn’t include a stick of butter.  This is so yummy we eat it hot in cold weather and at room temperature in the summer.  No beans.  Did I mention the great leftovers?  Freezes beautifully.

Shredded Pork — Pure Comfort

The Menu:

  • Roasted Shredded Pork with Carrots and Onions
  • Lightly dressed Coleslaw

This slow cooking dish is perfect for a cold winter day.  It’s easy to make, difficult to mess up and makes fabulous leftovers.  Start it early in the day, it cooks with very little tending in a low oven for about 3 1/2 hours.  Try it!

The Menu:

  • Chicken Paillard
  • Arugula or Mixed Greens

The Menu:

  • Baked Mahi Mahi with feta cheese, herbs and lemon slices
  • Greek Salad
  • Toasted Orzo with Fennel
