Slow Cooker: Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and New Potatoes

This is one of my favorite dishes for a rainy day to let the wonderful food smells fill the house.  There are only a few ingredients and yet so quick to pull together and let the slow cooker do the work for you. You can vary the paprika either sweet, hot, or smoked. This recipe calls for a slow cooker that is 1.5 to 3 quarts.  You easily double the recipe and use a larger slow cooker. This is an easy recipe to make and the ingredients are very healthy.

Lemon Thyme Roasted Radishes and Carrots with Vegan Feta

When most people think of radishes, they most likely think of eating them raw, but they are also delicious roasted!  In fact, it makes them sweet and tender, and I love preparing them this way for a spring side dish.  In this recipe I pair them with sweet carrots, a lemon thyme dressing and some vegan feta for a flavorful and delicious combination!

Herbed Chicken Parm Sliders

These little sandwiches have all the flavor of their Italian American inspiration, but we cut the usual breading and frying steps for a faster, healthier take. These sliders can be made with either ground chicken (choose ground chicken that includes light and dark meat) or ground turkey.

One Pan Chorizo and Shrimp Paella

Here is a delicious one-pan dish to be made quickly for a weeknight meal. You don’t need a special pan to make this paella, but do make sure to get Spanish-style cured chorizo. Any rice will do. Chilling it will help yield socarrat, the bottom layer of crispy rice.

Delicious Roasted Orange Chicken

Of all the chicken recipes I have posted, this is my absolute favorite.  Whole tangerines, peel and all, roast alongside the chicken in a sweetened soy sauce that thickens into a glaze and lacquers the bird. The fruit wedges soften in the syrupy sauce while infusing it with their floral bittersweetness. You can eat the tangerine wedges along with the chicken, which is delicious with its sauce over steamed rice or boiled noodles and your favorite green veggie.
