It’s Friendly Friday and time for the ultimate comfort food.
Most of us have a favorite recipe that either brings back memories of our childhood or just brings us comfort. Well, this recipe is definitely yummy and brings comfort.
Our friend Gail mentioned that her Mom Sue makes the best Chicken Paprikash and I just had to get a copy of the recipe to “test and taste”. Needless to say, we LOVED it!
Actually, Sue inspired us to launch Friendly Friday. On one of our Zoom cocktail hour calls, she commented on how she enjoyed the recipes on Luxe du Jour and liked some that were shared from friends.
So, we decided to make Friendly Friday a featured series and post delicious recipes from friends every week. It makes perfect sense to post these on Friday so that you can shop for ingredients, prepare and enjoy something new over the weekend.
Slow Cooker Magic
You make this in a slow cooker and will definitely enjoy the incredible aromas throughout your house as this simmers away. With only a few ingredients this is sure to become one of your family’s favorites.
The All-Clad slow cooker that we have can brown meats right in the insert prior to adding the liquid that most slow cooker recipes require. It is one of our favorite appliances and so easy to use and clean up afterward. We were fortunate to get this on sale and it was a great deal. If you do not have a slow cooker yet, we HIGHLY recommend this model that we purchased at Williams-Sonoma.
Foodie Friends – Share A Favorite Recipe
We are fortunate to have several friends that are foodies and love to cook. If you or a friend would like to share one (or more) of your favorite recipes, just scroll to the bottom of this post and cut and paste your recipe into the Comment area. You might have your favorite recipe featured on Friendly Friday.
