IMG_5642[1]

Can you believe that it is the last week of October? Each week and month seems to go by faster than the next. Before you know it we will be celebrating the New Year and it will take me 2 months to get used to writing 2016 instead of 2015 on everything! Ok but I am getting ahead of myself! IMG_5664The fall weather has been gorgeous and I have been cooking all of my favorite fall recipes including Stew in a Pumpkin, which was the first recipe I posted on Ski Boots in the Kitchen three years ago last week! It’s hard to imagine it has been three years! It has been so much fun cooking and writing recipes and even more fun when I hear that you’ve been cooking my recipes. This year I am doing Thanksgiving dinner at our new house in Park City and I have already started to think about what I am going to make, stay tuned in the coming weeks for some fun Thanksgiving recipe ideas.

I came across this recipe for Butternut Squash and sausage stuffed shells and it sounded so good I had to try it. It was a delicious balance of fall flavors, spicy sausage, and creamy cheese. Enjoy!

Pork Chops with Spinach-Prosciutto Sauce (GF)

IMG_5255It’s been a rainy few days in Park City and I have been craving some comfort food. I have also been looking for any excuse to turn on my stove! It has been so cold but I am refusing to turn on the heat yet… it’s too early! A few weeks ago I went over to a friends house and she made me this dish from one of her favorite cook books, Gluten-Free Girl Every Day. After one bite I asked her for the recipe! It was so delicious with the combination of the salty prosciutto and the sweet onions and cream. It tasted like a dish you would order in a restaurant yet it only took 30 minutes to make and about 8 ingredients! It didn’t take me long after getting the recipe to make it again and I was just as pleased the second time around. Plus it’s gluten free and I love finding some delish GF recipes for when we have guests with dietary restrictions over. Give this recipe a whirl… you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy!

IMG_5253Pork Chops with Spinach-Prosciutto Sauce (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 5 slices prosciutto, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450F degrees
  2. Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chops in the pan and let them cook until one side is brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chops and put the pan in the oven. Cook until they reach an internal temp of 145F degrees (about another 5-7 minutes). Take them out of the oven and put them on a plate to rest.
  3. Put the same skillet back on medium-high heat. Add prosciutto and cook stirring occasionally, until it is crisp (about 5 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent – about 6-7 minutes. Stir in rosemary and cook 1 minute longer.
  5. Pour in cream and bring to a simmer. When cream begins to simmer add chopped spinach and stir. Add prosciutto back into the sauce and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Plate the pork chops and spoon all the spinach cream sauce over the top of the 4 pork chops.

No Name Saloon Zesty Red Burger Remade

IMG_2203If you have walked down Park City’s historic Main Street before you’ve probable seen the famous No Name Saloon and if you’re smart, you’ve been inside and enjoyed one of their burgers! Year round, any day of the week, you will find No Name packed with  visitors and locals hungry for one of their epic burgers and homemade chips. Now you might be saying, a burger is a burger- what could be so special about this burger? First off lets just say all burgers are not equal! The No Name starts off with lean Bison meat and fresh toasted bun, from there you’ve got 5 options or build your own… if you love bacon and bleu cheese, go for the bacon bleu cheeseburger or if you’re looking for some spice the No Name Burger with freshly sliced jalapeno is the way to go.

Personally, my favorite is the Zesty Red Cheeseburger, it is flavor packed and topped with caramelized onions and red peppers then finished with pepper jack cheese for some added spice! It might be a little dramatic to say but this burger will change your view on life. So I’ve decided to recreate my favorite burger at home but with a little twist.

Instead of topping the burger with onions, peppers and cheese, how about stuffing all that goodness inside the burger? Well I gave it a shot and let me tell you, it delicious! Now whether you’re in Park City or home in your own kitchen, you can enjoy a delicious Zesty Red Burger anytime! Enjoy!

No Name Saloon Zesty Red Burger Remade (Serving Size 2 large burgers)
Ingredients
  • 1 20oz package ground bison meat
  • 2 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced onions, sauteed
  • 1/4 cup sliced roasted red peppers
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 fresh burger buns
  • lettuce, tomato, ketchup for garnish
Instructions:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine bison meat, cumin and Worcestershire sauce. Using your hands mix the meat until fully combined. Break the meat into 4 equal balls to form patties. Set aside.
  2. In a saute pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in red peppers.
  3. Place one slice of pepper jack cheese on top of two patties, then divide the onion and pepper mixture evenly between the two burgers. Take the other two patties and place them on top to form a “sandwich”. Carefully pinch the edges of the two burgers to form one larger stuffed burger.
  4. Using the same pan you used to cook the onions, heat the pan over medium heat and place both burgers in the skillet and cook about 4minutes per side or until they are cooked to your desired temperature. (warning the cheese does ooze out the sides!)
  5. Place the burgers on the toasted buns and top with tomato and lettuce. Serve immediately.

Sausage & Vegetable Campfire Pockets

IMG_7704Memorial day is right around the corner and many of you will be pulling out your camping stuff for the first time this year! I will be heading out to the dessert this weekend to enjoy some nature and pitch at tent too! I am already thinking about what I can easily cook in the wilderness after consuming a few glasses of wine.

My number one favorite cooking tool while camping… Tinfoil. It is a life savor! Tinfoil pockets trap all the flavor in and there is minimal clean up when you’re done which is an added bonus! Now there are a few reasons I love this recipe, number one being the tinfoil thing again, second its easy and delicious, third you can make this recipe your own by using your favorite vegetables and sausage.

I used Aidells chicken sausages for this recipe because they are already fully cooked and you won’t run the risk of under cooking meat but feel free to use your favorite sausage, kielbasa or brat (just cook the pockets a little longer!) You can stuff all the veggies and sausage into a hotdog bun or eat with a fork right out of the tinfoil! I love eating it with some spicy campfire corn (recipe to come!) and wash it down with some box wine! Happy Memorial Day y’all, be safe out there! IMG_7744Sausage & Vegetable Campfire Pockets (Serves 4-6)

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of Aidells chicken sausage (or another favorite kind)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1 pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 lb. baby potatoes, quartered
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl or zip lock bag, I used the plastic bag my vegetables were in from the grocery store. Drizzle with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and season with salt and pepper- Mix or twist the bag closed and shake it until everything is fully coated.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly onto 6 rectangular pieces of foil, bring two ends together and roll them together, then do the same with the sides to make a nice little pocket.
  3. Place them on the campfire grill for about 10minutes before turning them over and cooking another 10 minutes. Check one pocket first to make sure everything looks tender and cooked.

 

Chicken Suiza Enchilada’s with Avocado Cream

IMG_2570If you follow this blog regularly you know that one of my favorite things to cook with is rotisserie chicken. I actually dis-like eating chicken unless it is rotisserie style and I have come to the conclusion that I should stop cooking regular chicken all together, because its always dry and tough. I also love rotisserie chicken because it is fast, easy and always cooked to perfection!

So in honor of Earth Day last week I wanted to make something green- as you can see I didn’t get around to posting it in time for Earth Day but better late then never right? I found this recipe on the FoodieCrush blog and when I read the ingredients I knew I had to make it- all of my favorite things in one recipe, how could I resist!? (and after making them I can say they lived up to my expectations!)IMG_2573

Chicken Suiza Enchilada’s with Avocado Cream (Serves 4-5)

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cooked and skinned shredded chicken meat (about 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 4-ounce cans diced Fire Roasted Hatch Chiles
  • ½ medium white onion, diced
  • 2 cups whipping cream (or 1 cup whipping cream & 1 cup half & half)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Avocados
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, stems and leaves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 ½ – 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or just Monterey Jack if you prefer)
  • 8-10 7”-8” flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. To prepare the sauce: Mix whipping cream, chicken broth, 2 avocados, cilantro leaves and stems, cumin, garlic salt, lime juice and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in a blender and mix well to combine. Season with more salt if needed.
  3. In a large bowl mix together chicken, chiles and onion. Add half of the avocado cream and stir to mix well. Add more salt if needed (this will depend on how salty your rotisserie chicken is.)
  4. Prepare a 9 X 12 baking dish by giving it a light coat of cooking spray and ¼ cup of avocado cream spread evenly on bottom of baking dish.
  5. To assemble enchiladas: Place about ⅓ cup chicken mixture along bottom third of tortilla and top with ¼ cup of shredded cheese. Carefully roll tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat placing tortillas side by side until you’ve run out of space. Pour avocado cream evenly over the tortillas and spread 1 cup cheese on top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until enchiladas are cooked through and cheese is lightly browned.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onion, cotija cheese, additional avocado, cilantro leaves and salsa or fresh tomatoes.

Cheesy Baked Rigatoni

IMG_2490I have been posting a lot of pasta dishes lately and its for one reason… pasta is delicious and easy. Maybe its because I have some Italian blood in me as well but I just can’t resist a plate of pasta with a big glass of red wine! Since I always love cooking for crowds and since I’m pretty bored with lasagna I decided it was time to play with a new recipe that is good for a group. I also made this recipe for the first time because I have a friend that loves (and I mean LOVES) sour cream and I knew this would be right up her alley.

I know it sounds a little odd to add sour cream to a pasta recipe but it makes the sauce extra creamy and amazing! The recipe also calls for 3 different kinds of cheese which makes it gooey and melty and everything you’d ever want in a pasta bake. There is no need to spend lots of time on a yummy meal and that is what I love about this recipe! Everything can be prepared in about 15 minutes and then all you have to do is throw it in the oven for 30 minutes to let all the cheese melt and presto… Dinner is ready!

Cheesy Baked Rigatoni (Serves 6-8)

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound dry rigatoni pasta
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (mild or spicy depending on your taste!)
  • 2 26oz jars sweet basil spaghetti sauce
  • 6-8 slices provolone cheese
  • 16 oz ball fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9×13 baking dish and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the pasta. Cook for 8 minutes until al dente- do not cook for as long as you normally would, you want the pasta to have a little crunch so it does not get soggy when you bake it!
  2. In a large skillet cook the sausage and onion until brown. Once the sausage is totally cooked, add both jars of pasta sauce and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the mixture from the heat and carefully stir in the sour cream.
  3. Layer half the drained/cooked pasta into the bottom of the pan and top with half the sauce mixture. Layer 6-8 slices of provolone cheese on top. Layer remaining pasta, and remaining sauce and spread evenly. Lay slices of fresh mozzarella on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!

Wouldn’t you know that the perfect place would come on the market at our busiest time of year! but is there really ever a good time to move? It really is a huge pain in the ass.

Park City Peanut Chicken and Rice

IMG_0993Howdy Ski Boots followers! I am sorry for the lack in posts lately, life has been a little busy! More on that later! I was just recovering from the craziness of the holidays and now Sundance has descended on Park City! It’s going to be 10 wild days of films, parties and lots of celebrity sitings! Last year I got to meet my cooking idol Giada! I’ll keep you posted on all the fun people I get to meet this year! When life gets busy, no one has a lot of time to spend on dinner and cooking.

This recipe for peanut chicken is so delicious plus its easy and quick! Everything you’ve always wanted from a meal. The recipe is originally one of Rachael Ray’s but her version was called Park City Cashew Chicken. I’ve made a few tweaks and since I am allergic to cashews, I decided to used peanuts instead. Happy Sundancing everyone and bon appetit!

Park City Peanut Chicken (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion, divided, 1/4 finely chopped, 3/4 thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups Botan Calrose Rice (Japanese sticky rice)
  • 3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 pounds chicken meat (tenders; skinless, boneless breasts; skinless, boneless thighs), cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce, such as tamari
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup raw peanuts

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and the butter. When the butter melts into the oil, add the 1/4 chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes, then add the rice and cook for 3 minutes more. Add the chicken stock and cover the pot. Raise the heat and bring the stock to a rapid boil. Once the stock boils, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
  2. While the rice cooks, make the chicken. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Season the chicken with the grill seasoning. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and then the chicken. Brown the chicken on both sides, season with the soy sauce, then move the chicken to 1 side of the pan. Add remaining sliced onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then mix the vegetables and chicken together and add the chipotle chiles and cumin. Toss to coat. Glaze the chicken mixture with the honey and maple syrup and turn off the heat. Add the chopped cilantro and the peanuts.
  3. Spoon the rice into bowls, top with the peanut chicken and serve.

White Chicken Chili

I want more time cruising around the mountain or enjoying an apres drink with friends, not cooking in the kitchen! Fear not, this creamy chicken chili recipe is quick, easy and super delicious, so you can get that last run on the mountain or linger for one last apres drink!
