I absolutely adore scalloped potatoes, but rarely ever make them because they seem to take forever to bake. Scalloped potatoes are my favorite way to cook potatoes. They are creamy, saucy and so delicious.
My mother is famous for her homemade gravy. She only makes it during the holidays, or when we have big family get-togethers. She gave me the recipe years ago, but I lost it after burning a pan of clumpy gravy. Now that I have a few years of cooking under my belt, I feel more confident in my cooking skills.
We recently received a request for a turkey brine recipe. With "turkey day" coming up, now is the time for you to put this simple procedure to work for your holiday meal. After talking with my old buddy Al, from 94.9 KYSS FM, he shared with me his secret recipe.
My mom has been reading up on steel cut oats recently, and was bragging to me about how healthy they are. She was also telling me how to cook them. This involved boiling the water, adding the oats, boiling the oats for 20 to 30 minutes and then letting the oats sit for a few minutes before eating.
Lasagna is one of those dinners I love to eat, but hate to cook. It is definitely a weekend dinner. The noodles have to be boiled before you can even start putting the lasagna together. Then you have make layers upon layers of noodles, a cheese mixture and a tomato and burger mixture.
I love desserts, especially chocolate ones. This one is great because it cooks while you’re at work. If you’re like me and own more than one crockpot then you can have both dinner and dessert ready for you when you get home from your busy day. Imagine how great your house will smell with dessert in the crockpot.
With cold and flu season here the staple food for the sick is chicken noodle soup. I grew up eating canned bland chicken noodle soup every time I had a cold. This was fine when I was a kid, but now that I’m older I have a bit more discerning pallet.
With Thanksgiving almost here, you will find cranberry sauce along with stuffing and pumpkin pie puree on sale almost everywhere you go. So, why not buy it while it’s cheap and use it for something else besides just as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner? Cranberry sauce is my husband, my kids’ and my favorite. We actually eat it all year round, which the rest of my family thinks is weird, but we love it.
My mom makes the pumpkin pies every Thanksgiving. However, the last two years that she’s been in charge of making the pies, she has forgotten to add the sugar to them. Have you ever tried a pumpkin pie that didn’t have sugar in it? You need to eat it with a whole lot of whipped cream.
I’m one of those people who loves stuffing. I’ve never understood why it is only a main side dish during the holidays. If I had my way, we would eat it once a week in my house. Sadly, however, my kids don’t quite feel the same way about stuffing as I do. We eat it more than just during the holidays, but not as much as I’d like to. So, when I found a crockpot recipe that called for stuffing, I was all too eager to try it. Let me tell you that it does not disappoint.
