Creamy and comforting, this Ham and Corn Chowder is chock full of delicious ham, tender potatoes and, of course, sweet corn!  You’ll want to make this recipe time and again, it’s that good! This recipe comes from Natasha over at Salt and Lavender.  You can learn more about Natasha here.  I had leftover ham from my Brown Sugar Honey Ham, and usually make a ham and bean soup, but was all out of beans.  I found this recipe, and oh my goodness – it was so easy to make and really filling.  I will definitely check back in with Natasha, since this recipe was so delicious! 

For this recipe, I used my Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid:

Braising Pan and Skillet in One

Meet the perfect combination of skillet and Dutch oven. With a wide cooking surface, shallow sides, and oven-to-table design, whether a busy weeknight or relaxing weekend, you can braise, bake, sauté, simmer, or roast whatever’s on the menu. The self-basting lid adds juices back into whatever you’re cooking for added moisture and flavor.

This classic gray skillet has a light-colored enameled interior, which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this skillet has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table. Plus, cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.

The original recipe calls for smoked ham.  Our family loves my brown sugar honey ham, so we used that instead.  It gave a hint of delicious sweetness to the overall recipe, but you can use any leftover ham you like. 
You can store any leftovers in a sealed container up to three days or freeze in a freezer safe container up to three months.

Notes

Tuna casserole freezes beautifully!  To freeze, let cool completely.  I like to cut into individual portions, then place in a freezer safe container or bag, and freeze for up to three months.
Thaw individual servings in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then reheat in your Air Fryer or oven at 350°F/175⁰C for 15 minutes, or until heated through.

Crispy Smashed Potatoes (Video)

Smashed potatoes that are both crispy AND fluffy?  Yes, PLEASE!!  Full of flavor, and oh-so-easy to make, try not to eat them all by yourself!  I wanted to try to make these potatoes using the Garlic & Herb Rub from Pampered Chef – it was such a hit, that they were devoured within minutes of coming out of the oven.  I will have to double this recipe for the hungry people in my family! 

While you can boil your potatoes first, I really like to use my Deluxe Multi Cooker to pressure cook the potatoes instead; this way, they are not sitting in water, which I feel results in a crispier outside, while still being fluffy on the inside.  Perfection! 

The key to getting the outside crispy is letting them cool on a rack for ten minutes after pressure cooking or boiling, in order to remove any water left on the potatoes.  The bonus in using the Deluxe Multi Cooker is that it is hands free cooking, leaving you to do something else while the potatoes are cooking in the first step.  Easy peasy! 

I used my Half Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set to first cool the potatoes, then to roast them.  Not only do they crisp beautifully, but nothing sticks to this pan.

Here’s the info on these items:

Half Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set

If you love easy, fast sheet-pan dinners, the Half Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set is just what you need. By combining your sheet pan and rack, you’ll be able to cook meat more evenly, and vegetables and bacon will be crispier. You can also keep greasy foods out of the drippings while cooking.

Product Details

Half Sheet Pan

  • 12″ x 17″ x 1″.
  • Heavy-gauge aluminized steel resists corrosion and provides even heat distribution.
  • Conventional- and convection-oven safe.

Baking Rack

  • 16½” x 11¾” x 4½”.
  • Nonstick coating.
  • Legs fold for compact storage.
  • Also works as a cooling rack.
  • Oven-safe.

Garlic & Herb Rub

A fragrant combination of garlic, basil and rosemary that adds great flavor to grilled meats and is delicious as a dip with sour cream and mayonnaise. 1.9 oz. Gluten-free.

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more under-cooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Product Details

  • 6-qt. (5.6-L) capacity; 13″ x 15″ x 13″ (33 cm x 38 cm x 33 cm)
  • Includes a stainless-steel inner pot, wire rack, and silicone seal which are all dishwasher-safe, and a cooking guide with recipes and cooking charts.

  • Separate display screen lets you adjust chime volume, brightness, Fahrenheit or Celsius, and adjust for high-altitude cooking if needed.

Notes

If you like them very crispy, smash them down until they are less than 1/4 -inch thick.  I like mine to be crispy on the outside, but fluffy on the inside, so I prefer to smash them down just a little bit.  You decide!

Calories 800 kcal

Equipment

Deluxe Cooking Blender
Easy-Read Measuring Cup Set
Mini Mix and Scraper

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 lb raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 5 tbsp pectin
  • 2.5 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Add the ingredients for the first stage to the Deluxe Cooking Blender in the order listed. Replace and lock the lid. Turn the wheel to select the JAM setting; press the wheel to start.
  • When prompted to“Add”, remove the vented lid cap and carefully add the sugar to the pitcher.Replace the cap and press the wheel to start.
  • Pour the jam into small containers and allow to cool, uncovered, before refrigerating. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze up to 6 months.

Notes

This setting has two stages. In the first stage, the blender will heat up the fruit and pectin to 212°F (100°C), which takes about 20–25 minutes. Then, the screen will display “Add”. This is when you will add your sugar and press the wheel to resume the cycle. During the second stage, the blender will heat to 220°F (105°C). At this temperature, the pectin used to make jam will activate and create the thick “jammy” consistency we all love.
If you think the amount of sugar in traditional jams and jellies seems high that’s because sugar does more than just make things sweet. Sugar is a natural preservative. It’s hard for bacteria to grow in something with a high-sugar content. It also aids in activating the pectin, which strengthens the gel or jam and helps to retain color and flavor.

Creamy, tart and sweet lemon curd sits in a buttery tartlet, topped with fresh berries.  These Lemon Berry Tartlets from Allrecipes are the perfect dessert to brighten everyone’s day!!

I first made this dessert last month, for my dear friend, Theresa, who was celebrating her 25th anniversary as a business owner, and they were a hit!  Shameless plug, if you need the BEST CPA/CFA, you can connect with Theresa here – she’s one of the most ethical people I know and, after all, everyone needs ethics in accounting!

Back to the recipe – I used the Easy Lemon Curd Recipe I posted last week to fill the tartlets, but you could always used a different filling of your choice, custard or perhaps jam, I think any of these would be terrific.  Whatever filling you choose, this recipe is incredibly easy to make.

I baked the tartlets on my Stone Bar Pan:

Stone Cookie Sheet

Get ready for the best cookies—soft in the center, crispy but never burned on the bottom! This stone also turns out the best pizza and flatbreads, appetizers, biscuits and scones, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, brunch braids, and so much more. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, everything cooks consistently and turns out light and crispy.

Natural Clay Cookware

Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for dusting
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ⅓ cup lemon curd
  • 6 fresh blackberries
  • 6 fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/200⁰C.

Place frozen puff pastry sheet on a work surface dusted with flour. Allow to thaw for 2 to 3 minutes. Use a 2-inch round cookie/biscuit cutter to cut out 12 round pieces.

Use a slightly smaller round cookie/biscuit cutter, cut out inner circles in each pastry round, leaving them in place.

Place pastry rounds on baking stone, then brush with the beaten egg.

Bake 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Cool completely prior to filling (this took about 10 minutes for me).

Cut around the small inner circle of each pastry round and gently push it down (I used the flat end of my Cake Tester to do this perfectly). Fill each tartlet with lemon curd and top with a blackberry or raspberry. Use Powdered Sugar Shaker to dust with confectioners’ sugar.

That’s it!  I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe.  I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!

Notes

You want the puff pastry to be barely thawed when cutting the pastry rounds, so that it is easier to cut through, and in order for the pastry to rise/puff properly.

Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels (Video)

It’s almost time for the Super Bowl, and that means it’s time for a fun appetizer. Filled with tender chicken, melty cheese and just enough hot sauce for a nice kick, these scrumptious buffalo chicken pinwheels are a perfect addition to your game day festivities, or anytime!! 

I came up with this as a mashup of the Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Eggrolls recipe, and the Kielbasa and Honey Mustard Pinwheels recipe, which you can check out one or both by clicking on the links.

To make the shredded chicken, I used my Deluxe Multi Cooker, and to bake the pinwheels, I used my Rectangle Stone:

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Product Details

  • 6-qt. (5.6-L) capacity; 13″ x 15″ x 13″ (33 cm x 38 cm x 33 cm)
  • Includes a stainless-steel inner pot, wire rack, and silicone seal which are all dishwasher-safe, and a cooking guide with recipes and cooking charts.
  • 16 preprogrammed settings: Custom, Sear, Egg, Poultry, Beef/Pork, Seafood, White Rice, Whole Grains, Soup, Beans, Dessert, Steam, Slow Cook, Sous Vide, Yogurt, and Sterilize.
  • Built in carrying handles, hidden cord storage, and an on/off switch.
  • Separate display screen lets you adjust chime volume, brightness, Fahrenheit or Celsius, and adjust for high-altitude cooking if needed.
