A goal for 2022 is to incorporate more vegan cooking into our rotation and to use our Instant Pot more frequently. This stew, billed as a “dump-and-go” was creamy and delicious and, most importantly easy to assemble. The only trick was remembering to soak the dried beans before cooking. Here’s where I skipped the direction…

08 Sep 2021: Roasted Tomato & White Bean Stew
It’s not quite Autumn here in New England, but students are back to their school routines, the University is once again alive with students, and the leaves along the Merrimack River have begun to lose that summer green. Even though the temperatures are still in the 80s, it feels like Fall. And so, yesterday I…
28 March 2021: Ellie Kreiger’s Caribbean-Style Seafood Stew
We keep frozen seafood on hand these days. Frozen seafoods in my opinion, are not always a great substitute for fresh, but when our food shopping choices went down to whatever we could find curbside (meaning I was no longer standing in front of the fish counter asking when something had been brought in), I…

21 July 2015 African-Style Chicken Stew, Slow Cooker Style

2 Mar 2011 Winter Warmer Stew
Adapted from MeatlessMonday.com. Winter warmer stew. Downloaded from the web on Feb. 26, 2011. My comment: I did make a major substitution in this dish — could it be Seitan? Because I wasn’t near Whole Foods and couldn’t obtain Seitan, I used tempeh — not one of my favorite things, but it seemed like it…
The Fab Five
My Comments: This week I’ve been down and out with yet another virus, one of the hazards of working in an elementary school. So what do we do when no one is in the mood — or otherwise able — to cook? We eat leftovers that we’ve frozen from past meals. At Adrien’s suggestion then,…
3 Feb. 2011 Winter Vegetable Stew
Adapted from The Moosewood Collective. Moosewood restaurant cooks at home. (1994). New York: Simon & Schuster. Page 220. My Comments: The Moosewood recipe calls for beer or vegetable stock. The beer would have been an intriguing addition, but I wimped out and used vegetable stock here — less Weight Watcher points. Our New England weather…
