Feast of Seven Fishes

About this Cook

Culinary school graduate, now retired from that industry. Still love to cook and will try anything.

My favorite things to cook

I'm a huge fan of the crock pot because of my busy schedule. I love to grill because we live in Florida...who wants to warm up the house? I love to entertain and experiment.

My favorite family cooking traditions

I learned to cook by helping my Mom in the kitchen, so just that we had a family dinner almost every night. That's a wonderful tradition that I try to stick to in my own home.

My cooking triumphs

I think that the best cooking triumphs are when you make a meal and the people eating it are happy to be eating it....the feeling of happiness that food brings.

My cooking tragedies

Oh, I've had a quite a lot...too many to name.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

This is a wonderful recipe. I will make it over and over again. I took a lot of the other reviews in to consideration and added fresh mushrooms, celery, and carrots. I sprinkled in a little thyme, sage, and marjoram...and salt and pepper. I used 2 boneless skinless breasts and 2 boneless skinless thighs. Just before I added the biscuits, I added two cans of drained whole potatoes. I was a little worried that the broth looked thin and was going to add a slurry...I'm so glad I didn't! The biscuits thickened the broth right up. I used store brand biscuits. I probably would not do that again...I'd use a buttery name brand of biscuits. I think I'd also add a can of peas towards the end...in hindsight, they were missing!

Hasselback Potatoes

These are delicious! And a little different from your typical potato side. My sister stumbled upon this before Christmas and we made them as a side for our Feast of Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. I think my Dad at the leftovers three meals a day until they were gone. Great presentation too! I think these will be a new family tradition!

Pork Chops Stuffed with Smoked Gouda and Bacon

I made this for my brother-in-law for Father's day. It is a keeper. What a delicious flavor profile...simple, clean, and very easy to make. The cheese and bacon give the pork moisture and flavor that is out of this world! We all loved it!
