Sallie's Favorite Comfort Food Recipes

Last night as I was about to go to bed, I realized I had a package of boneless chicken breasts that was dated that day. (These things happen when you’ve been high on cough drops all week.) I decided to just quickly clean them and throw them in the crockpot overnight to make shredded chicken. …

I saw a similar rosemary and lemon chicken recipe online and decided to come up with my own combo. The original version had fresh garlic, but I wasn’t in the mood for garlic so I omitted it. This was super easy and tasted great! This could also be a great chicken to use for other …

This is one of my most favorite things to eat in the whole world. I serve these salmon patties with creamed peas on top. My mom always served salmon patties with creamed peas (albeit a different salmon patty recipe). When I asked her why she served them that way, she said that the restaurant in …

I serve these with Salmon Patties with Green Onion and Red Peppers. (The story behind the combination is on the other post.) Caroline loves them which is saying something since she currently doesn’t like any vegetable except cucumbers! I make these before I make the salmon patties and keep them warm in a small crockpot. …

It has been several years since I switched from those little packets of taco seasoning to making my own. I found this recipe in The Complete Tightwad Gazette (page 423) and it is very good. I recently bought one of those little packets of brand name taco seasoning because it was a loss leader and …

I believe this is a Country Woman magazine recipe I found on a discussion board somewhere. I made them for the first time a few weeks ago and they are YUMMY. Pecan pie is one of my favorite desserts ever and these just about meet that craving. I think the next time I make them …

I made this for the first time last weekend when my in-laws came for brunch. It is very moist and flavorful. I found it in The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion, a big wonderful baking book I bought a few years ago. Cranberry Orange Nut Bread Ingredients 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour ¾ cup sugar …

I found this recipe for Pecan Cinnamon Shortbread in the Summer 2007 Cooking for 2 magazine. My mom gave me a subscription and every issue has been great so far! Shortbread is one of my favorite baked goods. I’ve already made this twice. YUM! Pecan Cinnamon Shortbread Ingredients 1/4 cup butter, softened, divided 1/3 cup …

I found this recipe online while searching for a salmon recipe for grilling that used fresh rosemary. Rosemary is a favorite ingredient of mine and I have some in my garden I was looking forward to using for the first time this year. This recipe really exceeded my expectations. It was very flavorful, especially considering …

I got this recipe from my mom and made it for the first time this evening. YUM. So easy and great for these warm summer months. Note: Be sure to put this in a sealed bag when you put it in the refrigerator because it will give off juices as the rub sits. Enjoy! Grilled …
