Stewing Over What To Make For Dinner? Try these GREAT Fall recipes.
It’s mid-week, and time for dinner. Somehow, tonight’s menu hasn’t come together- no problem, durangodowntown.com has got you covered. In fact, we’ve got your entire week covered with recipes that are perfect for this time of year; It’s cold outside… make it warm inside.
In A Jam:
You might be sitting at your desk right now thinking “what am I going to make for dinner?” You and hundreds of other people. Recipes on the internet are a dime a dozen. Finding GREAT recipes however, that’s another story. Here are two excellent, and easy, recipes that would be great for your dinner table tonight.
–Alton’s Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Arugula and Pear Salad
Crockpot and Go:
When did you discover your love for your Crockpot? A long, long time ago? Or- are you newly Crockpot obsessed? The best thing about the Crockpot is that you literally can add all of the ingredients… and go. Go to work, go for a jog, go climb Hog’s Back. It’s really that easy. Try these to die for recipes.
–Beef and Beer Chili – try this one with Ska’s True Blonde Ale or Carver’s Lightner Creek Lager.
–Macaroni and Cheese – ADD garlic. When is adding garlic a bad thing? This one doesn’t take too long, so, make it on your lunch break and turn it on low (2-3 hrs instead of 60-90 minutes on high).
*Both of these recipes pair nicely with a simple mixed green salad and a hunk of bread.
Recipes That Require Prep:
If you will be having guests one night, or if you just have a little extra time this week, give these recipes a try. They take a little more time, but are well worth the wait.
–Cheesy Stuffed Pumpkin with Pork Loin Stuffed with Fuji Apples
-Mulligatawny Soup- A New Favorite- Puree all of the ingredients except for the chicken, cashews, and cilantro leaves. Serve pureed soup over Basmati Rice and Chicken, add cashews and cilantro on top. Needs nothing else!
Bread, A Perfect Pairing for Any Dish:
If you are looking to cut carbs in light of the upcoming holidays, bread might not be on your plate. But, it’s delicious- and we should add- ridiculously easy if you have a bread machine. Fool proof alternative, stop in at BREAD up on Florida Rd.
And For Dessert
“Yes, I’ll have two!” Both of these recipes make an abundance of each; that’s no guarantee that they will last very long.
–The Original Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie
