Goodbye Ellie!

Time sure does fly when you're having fun and it sure has been a very fun six months cooking the dishes of Ellie Krieger. Ellie has kept us healthy along our journey with her delicious recipes and helpful tips. Of course, this won't be our final Goodbye Ellie, because one thing is for sure: we will see you back during potluck week!

To join us in saying Goodbye Ellie, just post and link your farewell dish by Sunday, April 3rd and/or, if you like, post a recap of some of your favorite Ellie Krieger dishes from the past six months.

Green Eating!

This week, in the spirit of St. Paddy's Day, we will be honoring all things green and healthy! Make an Ellie Krieger dish featuring or including green-hued ingredients. What are some of your favorite ways to eat green? Salads, Sandwiches, Pizzas, Dips and/or Spreads, a sprinkle of fresh herbs? All are good ways to be fabulous, healthy and green!

How will you practice Green Eating? 

Join us as we practice Green Eating! Please make and post your Ellie Krieger Green Eating dish by Sunday, March 20th. Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.

March's Monthly Featured Chef: Rick Bayless! (And, Our New IHCC Featured Chef Announcement--The Votes are In!)

It's time for March's Monthly Featured Chef Event! The week each month where we go back and  revisit one of our previous wonderful IHCC featured chefs. 

Whether you cooked with us when this chef was featured, or joined the fun later on, we hope you will enjoy cooking along with them this week. 

March's Featured Chef: Rick Bayless

Note: Pictures in collage are from RickBayless.com, Stirring the Pot, 

Couscous & Consciousness, & Kahakai Kitchen.

We cooked along with Rick Bayless at IHCC back in 2012 and he's a frequent go-to chef on our monthly Potluck weeks, whenever we are craving Mexican food, both for authentic dishes and those recipes with his creative spins. Rick Bayless is  known for his anthropological approach to regional Mexican cuisine, reflecting in his PBS series "One Plate at a Time." An award-winning chef, the author of nine cookbooks, and owner of several successful Chicago restaurants and  line of Frontera food products, Rick Bayless won our hearts with his many delicious recipes and we are excited to cook with him this week!

Make and post any Rick Bayless recipe (or recipes!) by Sunday, March 13th. If you cooked along with us, or have cooked with Rick Bayless before, feel free to share your favorite recipes in your post.
