Brunswick Stew

"Brunswick stew is a tomato-based stew made with vegetables, chicken, and pork. The exact origin of the stew is disputed. Brunswick County in Virginia and the city of Brunswick, Georgia both claim it was developed there.

Quick Brunswick Stew – a classic southern dish that is ready in 20 minutes! Pulled pork, chicken, lima beans, corn, chicken broth, BBQ sauce, tomato sauce – throw everything in the pot, bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes. SO delicious! We made this two weeks in a row. We couldn’t get enough of it! YUM!"

Comments from Plain Chicken

Brunswick Stew brings back such fond memories of The Captain.  Before he moved to Florida to be with me, he lived in North Carolina and would come down to visit me.  One of those times, he brought back Brunswick Stew from his favorite restaurant that he always told me about.  It was delicious and I have thought about it, but could not remember what was in it.  I just knew I loved it and I'm so happy Stephanie posted it to her website, Plain Chicken!

Easy Chocolate Desserts That Start With A Box Mix

"Not everyone is a baker, and that's okay. Plenty of great cooks hate making desserts, but not every dessert has to be French patisserie either. These easy chocolate recipes start with boxed mixes, which take a lot of the hard work and pitfalls out of baking. A few clever additions help bump up the flavor of these mixes and produce baked goods that are closer to homemade.

When it comes to chocolate mixes, whether cake or brownie, a chief complaint is that they're never chocolatey enough, which these recipes smartly address through extra helpings of chocolate that result in bakery-worthy sweets."  Comment from Southern Living

Although I love the process of baking from scratch, there are times when semi-homemade is appreciated.  Using a boxed mix doesn't always mean an inferior cake, but it depends on how you use additions to enhance the flavor.  This is an excellent article that not only takes you to an array of delicious cake recipes, but has tips on using box mixes.  Everything you always wanted to know about baking a cake with a boxed mix!

"If you’re looking for a classic crispy, batter dipped fish recipe, this is it. The lemon pepper seasoning in the coating pairs perfectly with the accompanying recipe for creamy, tangy homemade tartar sauce."  Comment from Taste of Home

Beer Battered Fish

"In this recipe, cold beer flavors the batter and keeps it light and crisp, thanks to the carbonation. Stick with a light-colored beer or nonalcoholic beer to create golden-brown fillets with a mild taste. Serve the fish hot with lemon wedges and a salad, or dig into pub vibes with pan fried French fries."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love fried fish and having different versions make me happy!

Crispy Beer Battered Fish

"This recipe uses cornstarch and flour in the batter to create extra-crispy fried fish. Feel free to swap in nonalcoholic beer, as the beer’s flavor and carbonation (not the alcohol) make the batter successful."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love fried fish!

Air Fryer Fish and Chips

"Air fryer fish fillets are just as crispy as the deep fried version. The cornflake breading creates a delightfully light and crispy exterior, while the fish stays nice and moist inside.

Air fryer fish is so simple to make. Like the traditional version, air fried fish fillets feature a light, crispy batter that creates a delightful crunch with each bite. It’s a perfect contrast to the moist, flaky fish inside. The dish works well with fresh fish, or you can use frozen cod."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love fried fish and happy to have an air fryer recipe!
