Brian got the wonderful idea of making a shake with it and it turned out really well. You don't have to make the dinner to make the shake. You do, however, have to broil some fresh (or canned, but fresh is best) pineapple with the <a href="http://everyonesdeliciousdishes.blogspot.com/2011/03/broiled-pork-chops-and-pineapple-with.html">maple glaze</a>.<br />
<br />
Vanilla ice cream<br />
1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 tsp. cayenne<br />
Pineapple<br />
milk<br />
<br />
Mix maple syrup and cayenne. Brush onto pineapple and broil until tender. Blend ice cream, pineapple and milk. Pour into a glass and enjoy the smoky, spicy, and sweet pineapple shake.

The recipe originally calls for salmon, but Brian hates fish so.... I looked at the ingredients, thought they looked yummy, and substituted pork chops for the salmon. And it was fabulous!! I also added bacon to the mix, you can never go wrong with bacon. <br />
<br />
1 cup rice<br />
1/4 cup pure maple syrup<br />
1/4 tsp. cayenne<br />
4 pork chops (or salmon fillets)<br />
salt and pepper<br />
1/2 of a pineapple, cut into 8 pieces<br />
1/4 lightly packed chopped fresh cilantro<br />
4ish pieces of bacon<br />
<br />
Cook rice the way you like it (sticky, dry, whatever). Heat your oven on the broiler setting. Mix the maple syrup with the cayenne. Salt and pepper the pork chops and put them on a cookie sheet along with the pineapple. Brush the maple syrup on them and broil for however long it takes for your thick or thin pork chops to be cooked. Remember to baste the meat and pineapple with the maple syrup through out the cooking time. Oh yeah, I put the bacon on top of the pineapple for half the time, then just put it on the bottom of the pan so that it would get crispy. In the meanwhile, mix the cilantro into the rice and fluff it all up. And that's it. Serve it all.

It takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. And it's darn tasty, too.<br />
<br />
1 lb. beef, cut into bite-size pieces (stew, stir-fry, steak, whatever)<br />
corn - either 1 16oz. pkg frozen (does not need to be thawed) or 2 cans, drained<br />
1 can lima beans, drained<br />
butter<br />
salt<br />
cinnamon<br />
<br />
Brown the beef in some butter. Add the corn and the lima beans. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon. I use about 1/2 to 1 tsp. cinnamon. I just lightly sprinkle it over the whole dish until it looks dusted, but not covered. Stir and let cook until corn and beans are heated through (you can add a little more butter here and there if things start looking dry).

I never made them, and don't have a clue where I got the recipe. In fact, I've never even tried them before...until last night. My husband wants to try at least one new thing a week, so last night it was Orange Brownies. Now I wouldn't really call it a brownie, but I can't think of anything else to call it. Maybe orange bars?? They were more of a mix between brownies and cake. I absolutely LOVED them! They were crispy-ish on the sides and light (but not as light as a cake). Great orange flavor, and the glaze on top was simple and yummy.

This recipe is really easy, tasty, and fast!! We will DEFINITELY be adding it to the rotation.<br /><br />Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Apples and Leeks<br /><br />2 pork tenderloins (around 1 lb. each)-we only ate one, but I'm excited for the leftovers<br />2 Tbs. oil<br />Salt and Pepper<br />2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut into 1" pieces<br />1/2 tsp. fennel seeds<br />3 gala apples (I used pink ladies because I couldn't find galas at Walmart), cored and cut into 1/4" slices<br />1 Tbs. honey<br />1 tsp. red-wine vinegar (which I amazingly didn't have and so I had to use white wine vinegar)<br /><br />Heat broiler with rack set about 4" from burner. Rub pork with 1 Tbs. oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Broil until pork registers 145 degrees or about 12-17 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes (temp will rise about 5 degrees while resting).<br /><br />While tenderloin is broiling heat remaining oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender (it took about 5-6 minutes, depending on size). Add apples and cook, tossing, until just beginning to soften, 3-4 mintues. Remove from heat and add vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Stir to mix and serve with pork.<br /><br />It's

There are a few others I will be trying out of that magazine and if they pass the "Brian" test, I'll put them up. I used to make whole roasted chicken all the time, but when the rotisserie chicken became so cheap, I stopped. I honestly think I like roasted chicken better. And Brian loved the skin on this chicken because it was so crispy. And it was really easy to make! It's a great fall/winter dish.<br /><br />A whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry<br />salt and pepper<br />fresh thyme and parsley<br />2 leeks (white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and then crosswise)<br />baby carrots<br />small red potatoes<br />olive oil<br />1/2 cup water<br /><br />Preheat oven to 450. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff with fresh thyme and parsley (I was out of thyme so I just used parsley). If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dry and mix it with the vegetables instead of in the chicken. Take olive oil and toss with leeks, carrots, and potatoes. Place chicken in roasting pan and arrange veggies around (I just put all the veggies in first, then the chicken breast down on top). Add water. Roast chicken until it's golden brown and juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg, about 1-1/2 hours. Or thickest part of thigh hits 165 (be careful not to hit bone).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-38096501155099915622010-11-07T12:35:00.005-06:002010-11-07T12:58:11.097-06:00Holiday Sweet Potatoes<!--[if gte mso

It's the size of a Reader's Digest, but has some good recipes. They have a section which has a week full of meals. I tried the Roast Beef with Cabbage, Squash and Carrots at Brian's request. While it wasn't my absolute favorite (I thought it was better the next day), Brian, Dalin and Ellie LOVED LOVED it! Which surprised me, since I usually don't serve cooked cabbage and butternut squash, like, ever. So, perhaps your kids might too. Try it out. It's really easy. <br /><br />Roast Beef with Cabbage, Squash, and Carrots<br /><br />2 lbs boneless top loin roast (I just used...something, I can't remember, but it was fine)<br />salt and pepper<br />1 medium (about 2 lbs) of butternut squash, peeled, halved and sliced 1/2" thick<br />3 medium carrots, sliced into 3" lengths (I just used baby carrots)<br />1 small red cabbage (about a pound), cored and cut into wedges<br />4 sprigs of thyme (you can use dried)<br />2 Tbs. olive oil<br /><br />Preheat oven to 425. Season beef with salt and pepper, and place fat side up in a shallow roasting pan. Toss remaining ingredients together, add salt and pepper to taste. Surround beef with vegetables and roast in oven until squash is tender and beef is medium-rare, about 40 minutes. Tent beef loosely with foil for 10 minutes after it's done.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-70446989061324781642010-10-06T19:49:00.006-05:002010-10-06T20:10:23.188-05:00Garlic Roasted Leg of Lamb<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6f7k-eyCACNtjFUTsX4WDZhs5p_OLPJno2vjvBvBApd_6rFTHxpLmGgCpY45w5-mtXhczfSxaMVu3dfxi9isl0DIu_oAd1Dsh4HpriQb1Jpdukfjk0WFt99Ym3otCu5hLT1R7PWuNdo/s1600/100_8449.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6f7k-eyCACNtjFUTsX4WDZhs5p_OLPJno2vjvBvBApd_6rFTHxpLmGgCpY45w5-mtXhczfSxaMVu3dfxi9isl0DIu_oAd1Dsh4HpriQb1Jpdukfjk0WFt99Ym3otCu5hLT1R7PWuNdo/s400/100_8449.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525104142749429026" border="0" /></a><br />This was an adventure for me. Last week Brian brought home a 4 lb. boneless leg of lamb from Sam's Club. Okay, huh. What do I do with this hunk of meat? I've only had lamb once in my life (I'm not counting the gyro I had last year) and it was when I was young. I remember not liking it, but hey, I was what, ten? So, I looked up some recipes, choose one and roasted the lamb this evening. While it's still not my favorite meat, the kids LOVED it! Ellie had 3 slices, Dalin had 4, even Scott ate more than one bite!! Brian thought it was nice and mild, and he really liked the gravy. It was very tender (even though I overcooked it, I think. I just roasted it until it looked done, and I'm not ready to eat medium rare lamb) and moist. So, if you're feeling adventurous, try out some lamb.<br /><br />This recipe is from Everyday Foods<br /><br />1/2 cup olive oil<br />10 cloves garlic<br />1 Tbs. salt<br />1 tsp. pepper<br />4-7 lb. leg of lamb (boned, rolled, and tied-which I didn't do, I just treated it is a normal roast)<br /><br />In a blender puree olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper to make a paste. Rub paste all over lamb. Roast at 400 for 2 hours or until desired doneness. *I started it out at 400, but downed it to 350 for the last hour or so.<br /><br />Pan Sauce:<br />Drippings from lamb<br />1 cup water (or red wine)<br />1 cup chicken broth or stock<br />salt and pepper<br /><br />Add all the ingredients to the bottom of the roasting pan, get all the browned bits up and transfer all of it to a sauce pan. Boil and reduce, about 10-15 minutes. Strain and serve with lamb.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6f7k-eyCACNtjFUTsX4WDZhs5p_OLPJno2vjvBvBApd_6rFTHxpLmGgCpY45w5-mtXhczfSxaMVu3dfxi9isl0DIu_oAd1Dsh4HpriQb1Jpdukfjk0WFt99Ym3otCu5hLT1R7PWuNdo/s1600/100_8449.JPG"><br /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-30619494664934893422010-10-04T12:01:00.007-05:002010-10-04T12:17:16.351-05:00Cheesecake DessertI haven't made this dessert in YEARS. I got a craving for it the other day and decided to go ahead and make it. I couldn't find the pie dough in tart size, and I was too lazy to make a pie crust, so I just made a graham cracker crust instead and put it in a 8x8 and it turned out just as delicious. It's so simple to make and a tasty alternative to real cheesecake (not to mention less time consuming)!<br /><br /><a

I appled myself out and ever since then, I don't really eat them. However, this pregnancy, I find myself wanting to eat apples again. And since the apple season is upon us, I'm going to kick off the season with some apple crisp. I get my new oven today (long story, it's on my other blog if you want to read it), so I'll post a picture as soon as I make it. I am going to experiment substituting some of the sugar with brown sugar for a more caramely flavor. I'll let you know how it works.<br /><br />*I used 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and I loved it!<br /><p class="MsoTitle"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzkOVRzSP7NeKGLe10zBbRVNYqZJ9iNxMsNiwJtvg0F4U3SYZ2TZMBg_cCNAtY4gF3um0nhok1xFljP9RPRAH9uOgp6mUlGuOT52aeA7w5Kjbww_iTNDVQ3ZBDCbCBBRT6QvzYEriGtg/s1600/100_8418.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzkOVRzSP7NeKGLe10zBbRVNYqZJ9iNxMsNiwJtvg0F4U3SYZ2TZMBg_cCNAtY4gF3um0nhok1xFljP9RPRAH9uOgp6mUlGuOT52aeA7w5Kjbww_iTNDVQ3ZBDCbCBBRT6QvzYEriGtg/s400/100_8418.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521955425088259234" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center">Apple Crisp<span style="font-size:16pt;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">4 cups sliced (or diced) apples</p> <p class="MsoNormal">¼ cup orange juice or 3 Tbs. lemon juice</p> <p class="MsoNormal">1 cup sugar</p> <p class="MsoNormal">¾ cup flour</p> <p class="MsoNormal">½ tsp. cinnamon</p> <p class="MsoNormal">¼ tsp. nutmeg</p> <p class="MsoNormal">½ cup butter</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mound apples in a buttered pie dish, sprinkle with orange juice.<span style=""> </span>Combine sugar, flour, spices and dash salt; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.<span style=""> </span>Sprinkle mixture over apples.<span style=""> </span>Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp.<span style=""> </span>Serve warm with cream (not whipped) or vanilla ice cream.<span style=""> </span>Serve 6.<span style=""> </span><br /><span style=""></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-85315544362795857452010-09-20T18:12:00.003-05:002010-09-20T18:20:28.921-05:00Sharon's Potato SaladWith Fall coming on and all the reasons to make potato salad cooling down, I thought I'd post my favorite one. While I love my mom's, I love my mother-in-law's more (don't tell my mom ;)<br /><br />Now, before I get a bunch of comments (wait, has that ever happened?), there are no quantities, you'll have to decided how much of each you want. Just eyeball it. Usually I do one potato (and you always do the same amount of eggs as potatoes) per person. But, sometimes not.<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:trackmoves/> <w:trackformatting/> <w:punctuationkerning/>

He modified this recipe from Emeril Lagasse and it's fantastic, I think I ate at least 3 servings throughout the evening. I couldn't help it (well, I probably could, but didn't)! It has quite a bit of garlic, but I'm a garlic lover and I thought it was a PERFECT amount!<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Garlic Mashed Potatoes-Brian's Version</span><br /><br />1 head roasted garlic<br />2 lbs. potatoes, skinned and diced<br />1/2-2/3 cup butter<br />1/2 cup or so of heavy cream<br />salt and pepper<br /><br />How to roast garlic:<br /><p> Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.</p> Place the garlic on a pie pan and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Squeeze or remove the garlic cloves from the head and place in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the garlic until smooth.<br /><br />Potatoes:<br />Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and drain. Place the potatoes back in the pot and return to the heat. Stir the potatoes, constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes to dehydrate the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the heat. Add the garlic and butter. Using a hand-held masher, mash the butter and garlic into the potatoes. Add enough cream until desired texture is achieved. Add salt and pepper.<br /><br />These are so good, that I'm eating some for breakfast. He also made a modified recipe of Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, which were equally as good. I'll post that recipe later.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-67025213722949407402010-09-11T10:59:00.003-05:002010-09-11T11:10:39.592-05:00Pumpkin Banana Bread<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJTkR6DxUlyJlZyPCpYw2rShWJwB4fJCQ7BT_g0TTl6P8VTwaokDZ9t680yKjZ6v5lQ79LTMQXfCaShNb2f5_5fOuqHKC9tz_6Rd5PLmjweK5TnFZSTe-XpveDYKGiP3ZTeAVM5QQKMv0/s1600/32244lrg.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJTkR6DxUlyJlZyPCpYw2rShWJwB4fJCQ7BT_g0TTl6P8VTwaokDZ9t680yKjZ6v5lQ79LTMQXfCaShNb2f5_5fOuqHKC9tz_6Rd5PLmjweK5TnFZSTe-XpveDYKGiP3ZTeAVM5QQKMv0/s400/32244lrg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515687286602790018" border="0" /></a><br />I'm not a big banana bread fan, it's okay, I'll have a piece here and there. I had some bananas that needed to be used and I didn't feel like normal banana bread, nor did I want to make banana cream pie (which I actually really like). So, I thought I'd try pumpkin banana bread. It's pretty darn good. I got the recipe off the Libby site, the people that make the canned pumpkin.<br /><br /><div class="ttl">Ingredients</div> <span id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_MainContent_MainContent_MainContent_lblIngredients"><ul class="ingredients"><li>4 cups all-purpose flour</li><li>4 teaspoons baking powder</li><li>4 teaspoons ground cinnamon</li><li>2 teaspoons ground ginger</li><li>2 teaspoons baking soda</li><li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li><li>1 can (15 oz.) <a href="http://www.verybestbaking.com/products/libbys/pumpkin.aspx" title="LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin">LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin</a></li><li>4 large eggs</li><li>1 cup granulated sugar</li><li>1 cup packed brown sugar</li><li>1 cup (2 medium) very ripe bananas, mashed</li><li>3/4 cup vegetable oil</li><li>1 cup chopped walnuts</li></ul></span><br /><div class="ttl">Directions</div> <span id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_MainContent_MainContent_MainContent_MainContent_lblSteps"><b>PREHEAT</b> oven to 350º F.

I just had a big bowl tonight (even thought it was like 115 today). It is a cream soup, and not a broth soup, which is great in my book!<br /><br />Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup<br /><br />Cubed, cooked chicken breast<br />1 Tbs. chicken bullion (I actually just use about a cup of chicken broth)<br />Chopped onion, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and celery (I don't like celery, so I never add it)<br />Corn<br />Cooked rice (opt.)<br />8 oz. velveeta<br />1 can evaporated milk<br />1-2 cans cream of chicken soup<br />1/2-1 can rotel (I use original, which has the perfect amount of heat for me)<br />grated cheese (usually Monterey Jack)<br /><br />Pretty much, you just want to mix it all together (and anything else that sounds good), add some water, and simmer until the veggies are tender. I fry up some flour tortillas, cut them into strips and serve them on top of the soup (actually, I personally put them on the bottom of my soup bowl, then ladle on the soup). Enjoy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-87820357233026665052010-06-18T11:25:00.006-05:002013-12-18T08:29:00.997-06:00Warm Chocolate Pudding Cakes with Caramel SauceSo, I don't like chocolate. Except for this cake! Brian made it a couple of weeks ago and it is THE BEST chocolate cake I've ever had! He got the recipe from Everyday Foods on PBS. It's really not hard at all. The most time consuming is making the caramel sauce and that takes under ten minutes. Mmm, it is so worth it!<br />

If you've made toffee before, making caramel is pretty much the same. Brian burned the first two batches, then I took over and made perfection ;) You don't want to make it dark, since sugar burns VERY quickly. If making the sauce is too intimidating, you can always use store bought caramel, it's still good!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-55318797508799096372010-06-17T23:56:00.000-05:002010-06-17T23:56:30.416-05:00Make Your Own Rice BowlsThis is my latest brainstorm on fast, healthy meals. And everyone gets to make it how they like.<br />
<br />
Start with cooked rice - hot or room-temperature (I made brown rice).<br />
<br />
Fill your bowl about half full, or scoop a good-sized amount on a plate.<br />
<br />
Set out bowls containing various ingredients and let everyone put what they want on it. The beauty of this is that you can just use what you have at the time and it only takes minutes to get everything on the table. Some suggestions:<br />
<br />
Cooked meat - beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, bacon, whatever. Save leftovers from another meal so you don't have to cook it that night.<br />
Shredded cheese<br />
Soy sauce<br />
Sweet Chili sauce<br />
Italian salad dressing (one of my son's LOVES it)<br />
Avocado<br />
Matchstick carrots, cooked or raw<br />
Angel hair cabbage, cooked<br />
Zucchini - grated or cubed, cooked<br />
Sweet peppers<br />
Jalapenos or serrano, diced small<br />
Cucumbers<br />
Tomatoes<br />
Cream cheese (sounds weird but it was great)<br />
Sushi grade fish (like tuna or salmon)<br />
Sushi ginger (oh, I love that stuff)<br />
Mushrooms - cooked<br />
Kale - diced into teeny, tiny pieces<br />
Peas - cooked<br />
Steamed asparagus<br />
Green beans<br />
Nuts - crushed, peanuts, almonds or cashews work best<br />

from <a href="http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/2009/08/honey-lime-enchiladas.html">Sisters Cafe</a><br />
<br />
1.5 lbs pork or chicken, cooked and shredded<br />
Sauce:<br />
1/3 c honey<br />
1/4 c lime juice<br />
1 Tb chili powder<br />
1/2 tsp garlic powder<br />
<br />
2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce<br />
equal parts mixed together of:<br />
mozzarella cheese, shredded<br />
cheddar cheese, shredded<br />
flour tortillas<br />
<br />
Mix together sauce ingredients then add to shredded pork or chicken. Let the sauce soak into the meat for about 30 minutes. Lightly spray 2 pans with non-stick baking spray. (I usually use one 9x13 and one 9x9 but it may vary with how thick you stuff your enchiladas - <i>okay now it's me, Heather, not the original writer of the recipe; I used one 9x13 pan and ran out of chicken.</i>) Pour green enchilada sauce into pans to coat the entire bottom. Fill tortillas with shredded meat and desired amount of cheese. Roll and place in dish. Pour remainder of sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top - don't be stingy! Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then turn on broiler and place enchiladas nearer the top of oven. Let it broil until cheese is slightly brown and crispy. <br />
<br />
<i>One of my children is an avowed enchilada hater and he ate a whole one. The 3-yr-old who <a href="http://gentleartofchaos.blogspot.com/2010/05/logic-of-3-yr-old.html">"hated it because it wasn't brownies"</a> ate half a one. Everyone said they really liked it even though it was a little too spicy (mainly because my husband bought 'medium' green enchilada sauce instead of 'mild'.)</i>crazy4boyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11797982222542135378noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-77745733321845504672010-05-11T11:46:00.002-05:002010-05-11T11:49:35.733-05:00Summer Tortellini Salad<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This recipe comes from Sisters' Cafe.

And while food is not appealing, I would still like some great recipes! I recently made a key lime cake which was just, well, gross. I'll find some more recipes to put up, I'm sure they're out there!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-51337093343928866582010-03-24T01:30:00.005-05:002010-03-24T01:36:50.239-05:00Hearty Cabbage SoupWe ate <a href="http://www.newlyweds-blog.com/2009/03/24/hearty-cabbage-soup/">this soup</a> the other day and it was lovely. I thought that adding the whole head of cabbage would be too much, so I held some back and it was a bit runny. Moral of the story - add the whole dang thing.<br />
<br />
Hearty Cabbage Soup<br />
<br />
1 lb Sausage<br />
1 chopped onion<br />
4-5 celery stalks, sliced, diced, chopped, whatever<br />
4-5 diced potatoes<br />
32 oz chicken broth<br />
3 cups milk<br />
1 small head of cabbage, cut into small pieces<br />
1 T salt<br />
1/4 teaspoon pepper<br />
2 T brown sugar<br />
1 teaspoon caraway seed (I only used about 1/2 tsp)<br />
1-2 cups heavy cream<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Add onion, celery, potatoes and chicken broth to large stock pot. Bring to a boil. Cut sausage into slices then throw them in with the potato mixture. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Add milk, cabbage, salt, pepper, brown sugar and caraway seed; return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes longer. Stir in cream and let it get hot, but don't boil again.<br />

We had it for dinner tonight, along with a fantastic side of Brussels Sprouts with </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Bacon and Caramelized Onion </span><span style="font-size:100%;"> (which I will post the recipe for later). I do have a picture, but as I am not home and don't want to download all these pictures I've taken, I'll have to post it later. Brian has requested this recipe to go into our rotation and I liked it, so here it is!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Spiced Honey-Lemon Chicken</span><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">2 chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness<br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">(we just used chicken tenders, you could also use thighs, we also didn't pound them, that's a pain in the patootie and I don't think it matters one bit over all).<br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">1 tsp. Pepper</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">4 tsp. Olive oil</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">1 Tbs. Butter</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">3 Tbs. Honey</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">zest and juice of one lemon</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">½ tsp. Ground cinnamon</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">¾ tsp. Cumin powder</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">2 tsp. Paprika</span></p><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><br />Combine all ingredients in a small bowl (or a ziploc bag) and pour over chicken. Marinate for as long as you want (I would do a minimum of one hour). Grill or bake the chicken. If you grill it, you'll have to figure out the amount of time it takes on your grill. But if you bake it, bake it at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes on each side OR until juices run clear (we grilled it, so I'm not sure about the oven times either). And it all depends upon how thick or thin your chicken is. Eat up!!<br /></span><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: verdana;"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210044021720266705.post-53791435185228716602010-03-17T11:50:00.004-05:002010-03-17T11:56:23.064-05:00Buttermilk Vanilla SyrupI just had some of the most delicious syrup I think I've ever had! When I heard the name, I thought "Ugh, that sounds disgusting! There is no way I'm eating that!" I was TOTALLY wrong!! It's fantastic! So try something new on your french toast, pancakes, waffles, whatever you like!<br /><br /><style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> </style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Buttermilk Vanilla Syrup</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1 cup sugar</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">½ stick butter</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1 tsp.
