Main Dish Recipes

Main dishes are - for obvious reason - the main attraction of any meal.  But that doesn't mean they have to be intimidating, or overly complex.

Here are the usual links to some of the superstars of my favorite main dish recipes.

Main dish recipes can be vegetarian like:

  • Easy Red Lentils and Rice - my absolute favorite comfort food and so easy to make.
  • Tofu Coconut Green Curry - Serious yum power
  • 13 Bean Soup - Simple, Affordable, Nourishing

My favorite main dish recipes that center around chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and seafood:

  • Buttery Shrimp with Worcestershire - not the easiest but definitely not the hardest but oh so worth it!
  • BBQ Oven Baked Beef Short Ribs - Takes a long time to cook but so easy to make!
  • Chicken and Stewed Tomatoes - Comfort food delishness.
  • My Mama's Homemade Pork Green Chili - So good the next day!

Hey y'all!

I’m Beckie Hemmerling. I love food and I think of it on a basic level of providing strength & nourishment. Cooking has helped me *try* to figure out life, not just my own, but also other people's. I have cooked through many joys / sorrows and cooking has always been a meditative place through these highs & lows. More background info →
