Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

I love these mashed potatoes for so many reasons! The crock pot allows them to stay warm, which is one of the biggest challenges when you’re hosting and trying to serve everything at the same time. For being a simple recipe, the flavor will blow you away!
Corn Casserole

Easy 6 ingredient Corn Casserole

Corn Casserole has been a constant go-to recipe in our family for over 50 years. Not only is it easy with only 6 ingredients, it is mouth-watering yumminess.
Crock Pot Chili

Crock Pot Chili

Being a Colorado native, we love our green chili. When I make my Crock Pot chili recipe, I sub ½ cup of 505 Green Chili for the cayenne pepper. We prefer the flavor and heat from the green chili over the cayenne pepper.
Calico Beans

Calico Beans

This is a hearty change to your basic baked bean dish. Terrific for a BBQ outing or potluck. A hearty addition of hamburger, bacon and a tri-bean blend makes this dish deliciously addictive.
Chicken Roulade with Dijon-Chardonnay Cream Sauce

Chicken Roulade with Dijon-Chardonnay Sauce

I had this dish at Fontenot's in Winter Park many years ago and loved it so much that I had to make it myself! The sun-dried cherries along with jalapeno made this entree' a culinary delight. I recreated the dish and it is now a family favorite. Pair with Crispy Risotto Cakes and fresh veggies.

Great meal on a busy weeknight when you are faced with leftovers in the fridge. Add a salad and you have a wonderful meal to enjoy with your family. Or make the Drizzle Cake for a sweet ending.
Cranberry Relish w/Oranges

Dad’s Cranberry Relish

My dad, Colonel Harry D. Gilpin made this recipe every Thanksgiving and Christmas. He made a big enough batch to enjoy during dinner and then for turkey sandwiches later. Our family could never agree on their favorite meal or dish with this relish.

The beautiful Little Violeta is created by Freddy Schwenk from Geist in Nashville, TN. Have any Chareau Aloe Liqueur in your bar? Add 3 drops to add an extra herbaceous layer.
