I apologize. I said this week would be chicken enchiladas, but having recently been through and over the flu, I couldn’t quite think about them, so I chose a carb. I found this recipe in a carpet cleaning pamphlet. [Huh? – Ed.] I had all the ingredients---except whole wheat flour and buttermilk. I purchased a couple of cups of whole wheat flour from one of the bulk bin stores, and canned powdered buttermilk that I usually have on hand. Buttermilk is rarely thought of except in baking (in my household). I’ll give you an easy substitution that...
I chose this recipe for this week because I have been lacking in vegetable dishes. I mentioned before that my vegetables are mostly eaten plain. This was served at our church coffee hour and was a hit. One other person served something similar, but with brown rice added. It was served with tortilla chips, but I think it could be served as a side dish. Ingredients: 1/2 onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered 1 (8 ounce)...
As promised, here is a recipe for Red Velvet Cake. I didn't make it, as I didn't want to have a whole cake around to eat. But I did make one many years ago, when they were the rage. While reading this recipe, I noticed it calls for white vinegar and soda. That combination usually makes a recipe light. And the frosting calls for cooking the flour and milk first. Interesting. So if you make it, please let me know. If you don't want to have to eat a whole cake, think about how nice it would be to share a slice or two with someone who could use a...
I have made this casserole several times EXCEPT I haven't used the artichoke hearts and red pepper. The other person in my household doesn't like red peppers, but the next time I make it, I will get the artichoke hearts and red peppers. I'm thinking it would really enhance the flavor and the red peppers can be picked out ;) So I've made it without those items, and usually added peas. This recipe makes two dishes; one for freezing, one for dinner. I cut the recipe in half, and it serves...
This was served at our church potluck luncheon. Potlucks are a great place to try new recipes, and also to take a favorite one to share. I have a similar recipe, called “Overnight Salad,” that doesn’t use the pasta or ham, but adds cabbage. This makes a nice size salad and would be great as a meal in the summer, or for lunch with some homemade bread. It can be made the night before, which is handy if you are having guests. The picture, if I can copy it off well enough from the printed recipe, shows it in a trifle bowl, so that you can see the d...
"Cabbage leaves stuffed with ground beef, onion, and rice, covered in a sweet and tangy tomato sauce and cooked in a slow cooker." Ingredients: 12 leaves cabbage 1 cup cooked white rice 1 egg, beaten 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup minced onion 1 pound extra-lean ground beef 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Directions: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil cabbage...
I’ll bet dimes to dollars many of you quickly looked at the ingredients to make sure it wasn’t lasagna noodles and Hershey syrup. This dessert is, in my opinion, not sickening sweet, but it is very flavorful. A friend called it decadent, but you can’t go wrong with Oreos and chocolate pudding. 1 pkg. regular Oreo cookies, (not the Double Stuff) about 36 cookies 6 Tbsp. butter, melted 1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, melted ¼ c. granulated sugar 2 Tbsp. cold milk 1-12 oz. (large) Cool Whip, divided 2-3.9 oz. pkgs. Chocolate Instant Pudding 3 ¼ c. c...
Here you go. A great way to clean out all the yummy stuff from the holidays and get the body back into healthy foods. I say that before I share my recipe for chocolate lasagna next week. Makes you kinda shudder, huh, but it’s good, I promise. This salad was served to me when we were invited to a friend’s house for Christmas. It was flavorful and colorful. I don’t eat a lot of kale (understatement), but when I have, it tends to be bitter. I didn’t notice it at all in this recipe, maybe because the apple and raisins gave it a slight sweet taste,...
Scalloped potatoes sound boring, but it’s great comfort food. I haven’t met anyone that doesn’t like the dish—but I’m sure they are out there somewhere. This is the recipe I have used many times, and always with compliments. It is thew basic cream sauce over potatoes, but I think the difference must be the thyme and parsley. I have often made it without the ham, as some of my family does not eat pork, and it does not take away the flavor. If one wanted to, one could use turkey ham. Less calories and tastes a lot the same. Ingredien...
Be aware: This is addictive! It has the texture of a butterfinger bar. Sometimes bazaars will sell “soft peanut brittle” for a huge price or candy stores will, and you think to yourself, I wish I could make it myself. Well here is the recipe, or perhaps one of them. I believe people are getting away from making candy, maybe for weight reasons, maybe not enough family around, or just have never attempted it. This recipe needs some helpful hints before you try it for the first time. Nothing like someone else making the mistakes so you don’t have...
Sorry, but this doesn’t have a title. Melissa, who works at the Blue Mountain Station, made this squash in two very large pans for the Thanksgiving dinner that was served at our church. I asked her if I could have the recipe and she grabbed a few small pieces of paper and wrote it down. I recently asked if the recipe would make enough to fill those large pans and she said she cut it down to make a 9 x 13 inch pan. It was delicious and I think a perfect vegetable dish if you are having a holiday dinner, either with turkey or ham, if you like s...
Packed with apple flavor and topped with gooey caramel and crunchy pecans. This is an all-time favorite that I bake and share at this time of year. It makes one large loaf or two small loaves (I think), maybe three. 1 c. white sugar 2 c. all-purpose flour 1 8 oz. dairy sour cream 2 tsp baking flour 2 eggs ½ tsp baking soda 2 tsp vanilla ½ tsp salt 1 ¼ c. chopped peeled, tart apple 1 c. chopped pecans Topping: ¼ c. butter and ¼ c. brown sugar In a large mixing bowl, beat together granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla on low speed until...
I used to make this after Thanksgiving when I had a family and was trying to stretch all the leftovers I could. It’s very good and would be handy if there is still “leftover” company. 1 pkg 8 oz thin spaghetti 4 TBSP flour (1/4c) ½ c. butter ½ tsp salt 4 c. cooked turkey (or chicken) ¼ tsp pepper 1 can, 5 oz slivered toasted almonds 1/8 tsp allspice 1 c. celery 1 can 14 oz chicken broth 1 c. chopped onion 2 c. milk 1 can mushrooms with liquid Cook spaghetti, drain, and toss with 2 Tbsp butter till well coated, add turkey and almonds. Saute ce...
My rotation for recipes is desserts, breads, entrees, and vegetables/fruits. The first two come easily, the last two I always have to dig up or think about. I grew up with plain vegetables, no sauces, no butter, and not a lot of variety. So when I saw a post from All Recipes for side dishes, I tapped into it. They are both small recipes therefore I think I can get away with two. I haven't tried either, but I do like brussel sprouts and green beans. And who doesn't like bacon? Fried Brussel sprouts 6 slices bacon, cut into bite size pcs 2 Tbsp...
We made this for dinner a few nights ago. Joe enters the ingredients we have on hand, then Googles for a recipe. The ongoing quest to think of something for dinner. Thankfully, most times, it creates leftovers. We served this over wide noodles and it was very tasty. 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves ½ c. balsamic vinegar 1 tsp garlic salt 1 tsp dried basil Ground black pepper to taste 1 tsp dried oregano 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp dried rosemary 1 onion, thinly sliced ½ tsp d...
‘Tis the season for pumpkin anything. Before I get to this recipe, let me tell you I was going to share a pumpkin cinnamon roll recipe that sounded yummy. Vicki Z sent it to me to share, but, as always in the nature of cinnamon roll recipes, there is a lot of instructions, which came to just under 1000 words. My allowance is under 400 words. If you would like the recipe, please send me an email and I will be glad to forward it to you. Also, if you have any favorite recipes you do (or used to do) at Christmas time, please send those also. I...
This was served for the coffee hour at church so I know it's good. It is time for pumpkin recipes. Most pumpkin bread, cake and muffin recipes are moist, as is this cake. So if you have no reason to bake a cake, perhaps make this one and freeze it. I haven't made pumpkin puree from fresh pumpkins, but I hear it's not hard. I will try it-someday. **The Christmas issue will be coming up in a couple of months. Ken said I could share Christmas recipes. I have enough to do several pages, but if you have a favorite one you like to do at that time of...
True confession. I had this other recipe for this week, but I copied only enough for me to go off of and I didn't want to chance sharing it. My plan is to alternate weeks with dessert, bread, entrée, and vegetable. This is vegetable week and I wanted something with apple. I came across a yummy looking fruit salad, but its fall and I've moved onto warmer dishes. This does have apples and vegetables in it so it's close enough for me and it's very close to the recipe I was going to share. 2 acorn squash-halved and seeded 4 oz mushrooms, chopped...
The picture submitted was dinner a few nights ago, thus the two missing pork chops. It is a quick and easy dinner. I would suggest, as long as the oven is being used, baked potatoes or sweet potatoes and squash to bake along with the pork chops. 1 TBSP olive oil ½ onion, chopped 1 large granny smith apple-peeled and chopped 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar ½ c. dried cranberries (we used cranraisins) 2 (6 ounce) boneless pork chops 1 TBSP olive oil Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly...
For the next few weeks, I am sharing recipes with apples, since we are into fall and they are abundant. This recipe is used quite a bit at our house, especially on a weekend morning when we have more time. We always make extra, but they rarely make it to the freezer. Personally, I like mine warmed in the microwave so they are still soft, but Joe likes them warmed in the toaster. ½ + cup rolled oats (not instant)** 2 cups pancake mix (we use the Snoqualmie brand) 2 TBSP sugar or honey ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp cardamom, ground 2 cups water ½ + cup...
"Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven." I've been wanting to say that for some time as it was stuck in my head. This is a favorite recipe that, of course, I copied but didn't put down how long to make the cake, so I made it and paid attention to how long I cooked it. It makes a large cake, full of raisins and nuts, and quite frankly, qualifies for breakfast...in my opinion. Cream: 2 c. sugar, 1 c. shortening, --I use the mixer to blend well. Add: 2 ½ c. unsweetened applesauce*...
I recently tasted wheat berry salad that my friend made and I knew I would like to have it again. I asked her for the recipe and she said didn’t have a recipe but cooked the wheat berries, added fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, some black beans, and Caesar dressing (or was it Ranch?). So all or any of those ingredients make a fresh-tasting salad. She said sometimes she puts in green olives. She mentioned she would give me some wheat berries fresh off the combine. WHAT?? I’m not sure where I thought she got the wheat berries, her being a far...
This recipe is listed as great for low carbers. Even tho it is warm outside, I need to have something hot to eat occasionally. This is very tasty, quick, and cooks on the stove top. I’ll add my notes at the end. I didn’t submit a picture when I made this as I used purple cabbage and it would have looked like a dark mess;) 1 stick butter 1 small head cabbage 1 small onion chopped 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into round pieces 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes (if you want it spicy) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper Melt butte...
This is a recipe my daughter in law shared. The muffins are not as sweet as some of the store bought ones that are more cake like. This recipe only makes 6 muffins, so most of us will double or triple it. I doubled it and made 15 muffins. If you do double it, PLEASE, check your measurements. I don't know why, but I always seem to miss one, like two tablespoons of milk should have been doubled, but I didn't. They are baking now so I will see if it hurt the recipe. 1 egg 1 cup flour ½ c....
