Bowl of Delicious Real Food for Busy People

  • Rhode Island Clam Chowder (Clear Broth Chowder)
    by Elizabeth Lindemann on February 28, 2024 at 2:28 pm

    Have you ever heard of Rhode Island Clam Chowder? This clear broth clam chowder has no cream or milk, and is a lighter clam chowder than other versions. It’s so simple and easy to make in only 30 minutes, especially because this version uses canned clams (but feel free to use fresh if you want!). You’ve heard of New England clam chowder, and maybe you’ve heard of Manhattan clam chowder (which has tomatoes in it), but have you ever heard of clear broth clam chowder from Rhode Island (and Connecticut)? It’s simple, delicious, easy to make, and lighter than its creamy counterpart. Plus, because it has no cream or milk in it, it’s easy to make it dairy-free (though I love adding a little butter for flavor and richness). Rhode Island has so many unique cuisines specific to the area. From bakery pizza (which honestly I just don’t get) to stuffies to clamcakes and coffee milk, it’s amazing how much is unique to the tiny state! And this clear broth Rhode Island clam chowder is a staple in the area. ...GET THE RECIPE for Rhode Island Clam Chowder (Clear Broth Chowder)!

  • No Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Dutch Oven)

    This No Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread bakes up perfectly in a Dutch Oven with a short, two-hour rise time! A Dutch oven traps the steam inside while the bread bakes, resulting in a tall, fluffy loaf with a perfectly brown crusty crust. This cinnamon raisin version adds raisins, rehydrated with warm water to make them extra plump and juicy, with cinnamon and sugar mixed directly into the dough. It couldn’t be easier to make, even for beginner bakers! The basic recipe for Dutch Oven No Knead Bread has consistently been Bowl of Delicious’s most popular recipe for years now, and for good reason! My super detailed, fast, easy, and hands-off approach yields an amazing result every time. You all have been asking for variations on the basic recipe for a while now, so here you are! I’m wicked excited about this cinnamon raisin version of my crusty artisan no knead bread recipe. In this recipe, the raisins are rehydrated with warm water before adding to the dough, making them more plump and moist. Any raisins on the surface of the bread won’t dry out with baking. The dough also has a little sugar in it, making it slightly sweet but not too sweet (with the option of adding more sugar if you wish). ...GET THE RECIPE for No Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Dutch Oven)!

  • Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup
    by Elizabeth Lindemann on January 4, 2024 at 2:36 pm

    Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup is the ultimate comfort food – creamy, simple, and easy to make with only a few ingredients. Using rotisserie chicken is an easy shortcut that guarantees flavorful chicken (and you don’t have to fuss with raw chicken!). Enriched rice, which has less starch in it than other kinds, helps guarantee the creamy chicken rice soup leftovers will be great without the rice getting mushy. You’ll love this easy comforting soup recipe! This creamy chicken and rice soup recipe is roughly based on my Chicken and Dumplings recipe, which is one of Bowl of Delicious’s most popular recipes. That recipe adds fresh thyme to the dumplings, and this chicken and rice soup uses fresh thyme in the soup itself. But no fussing with dumplings here! You get a lot of the same flavor with less work. And because we’re using enriched rice here (also known as converted or parboiled rice), the leftovers hold up really well. This kind of rice is less starchy than others, which prevents it from getting too mushy in the soup. This means you can make a big pot of this soup and enjoy it all week, or freeze some for later! ...GET THE RECIPE for Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup!

  • Kourabiedes (Greek Butter and Almond Cookies)
    by Elizabeth Lindemann on December 7, 2023 at 5:09 pm

    Kourabiedes (kourambiethes) are one of the most delicious Greek cookies, perfect for Christmas time (to me, they look like little snowballs!). Simple butter cookies with plenty of chopped, toasted almonds in the dough are baked with a festive whole clove in the center, then piled with powdered sugar for a deliciously simple, melt-in-your-mouth, classic Greek Christmas cookie. This is my grandmother, Aggie’s, recipe, and it’s extremely simple. Some other recipes for Kourabiedes have egg, vanilla, baking soda, and other ingredients you find commonly in cookie recipes. Some recipes also include rose water or orange blossom water. My grandmother’s recipe is more like a shortbread, with only five ingredients – butter, powdered sugar, flour, almonds, and whole cloves. It makes for a delicious texture that’s somewhere in-between melt-in-your-mouth and satisfyingly crumbly, the warm flavor and aroma of the clove imbued throughout. Kourabiedes are popular Greek Christmas cookies, but also are made for other festive occasions like weddings. My Aunt Viki made them for my bridal shower years ago, and as the family expert in Greek cooking and recipes passed down from my grandmother, I consulted heavily with her on this recipe. ...GET THE RECIPE for Kourabiedes (Greek Butter and Almond Cookies)!

  • Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
    by Elizabeth Lindemann on November 21, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    These Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with bacon give these delicious vegetable the respect they deserve! Cooking the bacon on a baking sheet while the oven preheats saves time and dishes and cooks it to crispy perfection. Then, the Brussels sprouts are tossed with the bacon grease left on the baking sheet, along with maple syrup, salt, and pepper, then roasted until perfectly crispy and browned. Brussels sprouts can be a somewhat divisive vegetable. Many of us grew up eating mushy, steamed, under-seasoned Brussels sprouts that did nothing to hide their natural bitterness and strong flavor. But I’m a firm believer that if you treat Brussels sprouts with the respect they deserve, they can be one of the most delicious vegetables on the planet. To do this, we focus on creating a texture and flavor that brings out the best of these humble vegetables. Roasting the Brussels sprouts helps create a crispy and browned texture on the outside, with tenderness on the inside. And the combination of sweetness from the maple syrup, as well as smoky salty flavor from the bacon, complements the flavor of the sprouts. This recipe employs a clever shortcut that will save you time and dishes. ...GET THE RECIPE for Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon!
