What Do You Do When…
You ask your husband to stall five minutes while you rush home, three children in tow, and shovel things into your room and shut the door, throw laundry baskets down the basement stairs and shut the door, whisk dishes off of the coffee table, sweep the dirt clods off of the couch that somehow made it from boy feet to the furniture, and set your teenager to the dining room to make sure that room, at least, has order.

Slow Cooked Kidney Beans
It is hard to find a good bean recipe that doesn’t contain pork of any kind. Even buying canned beans, you have to read the label carefully to make sure that it’s pork-free. It’s nice to find a slow cooked bean recipe that is just beans and seasoning.

Very Unordinary Chunky Vegetarian Chili
If you are entertaining mixed palettes, this meal will satisfy all tastes. A from-scratch chili that uses many different vegetables as well as beans and lentils to provide that ‘full’ feeling that chili with meat offers. Add fresh parsley and basil to taste, if desired. The lack of dairy or meat in this chili makes it a perfect meal during a Daniel Fast or Lent.

Country Style Chicken & Radish Skillet Dinner
Radishes used to be part of the meal, but lately seem to be relegated to color in green salads. This is such a quick dinner that is a different blend of tastes than the “norm” and utilizes radishes to their fullest extent. If you’re looking for something new to try, seeking out a new family favorite, you found it here.

Exceptional White Chicken Enchiladas
I “stole” this recipe off of Pioneer Woman’s website. When I made it, I used less heat than her, but I have two toddlers to feed and a heat sensitive tween. I personally think the extra peppers and chilies would have made something that was really good just beyond exceptional. The next time I make it, I’m going to use all of the peppers and chilies and use pepper jack cheese, too. So, I’m going to list the ingredients as she listed them, and you can add or remove the peppers and chilies as you need to.
