The only thing I truly love about the winter season is the winter foods. It’s the perfect time of year for a good soup or stew. The warmth coming from a pot of something good on a stove is comforting. This Pintos and Sausage Stew is just that, comforting.

This past week we dealt with frigid, arctic temperatures of -20 degrees for several days. I spent the early part of one of those days cooking this recipe and I am so glad I did because it is out of this world. The stew is loaded with protein – lots of protein.
Living where we do, I know there will be some recipes that I have to improvise on ingredients because they are either not carried or delivery trucks are not on the schedule. This was the case with this recipe. Chard yeah, none to be found in Miles City, along with the smoked sausage and habanera pepper. So I used turnip greens, polish sausage, and a jalapeño pepper. I can only image what this stew must taste like with the called for ingredients. I’m sure it is like my Jambalaya which calls for andouille sausage – we’ve come to tolerate it with polish sausage.

I also grated the carrot for our taste, but I’m thinking the next time, I will slice it and give it a try that way. When my beans were finished cooking and ready to add them to the other ingredients, I reserved a half of a cup and mashed them so they would help thicken the

In a separate bowl cut the large scallions and half medium cabbage to small pieces. Peel and chop the potato, malanga, carrots, turnip, yam and the butter squash. Wash the vegetables and put in a separate boiling water. Cover it and cook it in high heat for an hour. After an hour reduce the heat and add scotch bonnet pepper. Once everything is fully cooked remove it from the pot. Used the cooking water to blend the squash into a puree. For the best flavor pour the vegetables, the squash and the cooking liquid into the pot that cooked the meat. After that add parsley, thyme, and broken spaghetti. If there’s no spaghetti, you can substitute with macaroni. Let them all cook for about an hour or until tender. Once done combine meat with soup and enjoy. You can eat this soup with bread has a side dish.

After 17 years of having Ecuadorian blood running through my veins I have come to fully embrace and love what it means to be Hispanic. More than anything else, my Hispanic heritage has taught me the value of family and the perseverance one must have during all stages of life. The world I come from is very family oriented; every weekend is a family reunion, where my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandma join to cook together, listen to music, and spend time talking with one another. Though we do not abide to the nuclear family model, having so much family around has provided a support system like no other. There is constant motivation and hope propelling me to never stop at anything but success. I get my fair share of these motivational
Both the dry and the gravy variety of this dish are delicious. Aloo mean potato in
Mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and most importantly turkey are some of the
I stepped out of the chilly November air and into the warmth of my home. The first snowfall of the year had hit early in the morning, and the soft, powdery snow provided entertainment for hours. As I laid my furry mittens and warm hat on the bench to dry, I was immediately greeted with the rich scent of sweet apple pie, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and the twenty-pound turkey my mother was preparing for our Thanksgiving feast.

Some people think of them as animals. Some people think of them as objects. Some people think of them as friends. Then there are the few who think of them as family. Horses have always been like family to humans, except sometimes closer. There are many benefits to owning or being around horses. They come in many different colors. There is a multitude of breeds, also. Additionally, they have a long history with humans. Horses have unique behaviors. Showing horses has been the past-time or even career of many people.

Horses are wondrous creatures that have lived with man or thousands of years.

In some popular approaches to winter eating, we need to put on mind that winter is described as the time to store up on heavier, high-calorie foods. Whole grains that include the nutrient dense bran and germ make the perfect example of a good winter choice. Seeds are another great example of a healthy compacted winter food, especially sunflower and sesame seeds, which are considered especially warming in some traditions. Dried beans and lentils that would be used in preparing of a hearty winter soup would also fit into this category of smaller, dense, and compacted
This is another mixed veggie salad, where you can choose your own vegetables. I like to slice the ingredients very thin, so I use a mandolin. It is a salad that needs a little more work than the average salad, so I generally serve this to guests. It looks great, with the thin discs of turnips and radish, the green and the flames of chopped cabbage hearts scattered with pomegranate seeds.
