Another good recipe from my Mom: Bake an empty pie shell at 400°for about 10 mins, or until lightly golden (here’s my pastry recipe, if you need one) Set the baked shell aside to cool. * My pie plate is very deep, so my recipe here is doubled already. If you use a small/shallower pie […]
Admittedly, not everyone likes Fruit Cake. I was not raised with that Christmas tradition, but Tim loves it, so, many years ago I came across this recipe, and it’s been a “keeper”! If your idea of fruitcake is something dry, then this one may change your opinion. (Apparently this recipe originally appeared in the Toronto […]
I made this “oldie but goodie” recipe from so long ago. It’s easy, and tasty. We had it with a side of carrots. But a salad would be nice too. Here’s what I did … Dice 2 chicken breasts; season with salt & pepperIn a large pot, melt 1 Tbsp butter & 1 Tbsp olive […]
Combine: 8 cups small broccoli florets 1/4 cup finely diced red onion 2/3 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese, or gruyere, or cheddar Dressing: (If you prefer a non-creamy dressing, some of this Sweet & Sour Dressing would be delicious! Refrigerate what you don’t […]
I made this with mild Italian sausage, but you could use ground beef or pork … or omit meat altogether! This makes a very large stock pot full, so do half of the recipe if making a regular pot In an extra large pot: Over medium high heat, in 4 Tbsp olive oil, break up […]
Serves 5 This is a very fast, tasty Japanese dish! Literally translated, it means “Parent Child Rice Bowl“ … The “parent” being chicken; and the “child” being egg 🙂 Prepare your ingredients first, as once you get cooking, it comes together very fast! Thinly sliced 1 large sweet onion (or up to 3 regular size […]
Tim’s maternal grandparents were both from Czechoslovakia, so my mother-in-law handed down a wonderful Borscht recipe! I grew up on beets & cabbage, so wasn’t afraid of those in a soup! Borscht is a soup that tastes better as it sits, so make this ahead if you can. I have always made Mom’s simple recipe, […]
To be honest, the key to this soup was the amazing, farm fresh tomatoes! If made with “grocery store” tomatoes, it might need more flavor added at the end … I’ll update, when I try that! I just washed & quartered about 7 very large tomatoes and placed them in a big bowl. I added: […]
I just used what I had on hand, so the veggies & seasoning could definitely vary (This was enough for 3 main size portions) In a 9×13”, or casserole pan, combine: 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces 1/2 a large red pepper, cut in chunks 1 sweet onion, cut in large wedges 5 or […]
This recipe is very similar to the Tangy Chicken recipe that my sister Ruth gave me 30+ years ago. Amounts can easily be increased if needed. 1kg boneless chicken thighs (if large, you can cut them in half) Combine: 1/2 c ketchup 1/3 c Chili sauce 1 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp oil 1 Tbsp […]
