This is my favorite way to make stroghanoff. I had previously always made this recipe with steak, but in these times of economic uncertainty I decided to try it using ground meat this week, and it turned out great. I even cut down the amount of meat and only used about 1/3 of a pound, and it still fed all seven of us and we didn't feel we were missing out on meat. The best thing about this

(I used sage, thyme, and tarragon, but whatever you like...) ♦salt and pepper ♦butter or olive oil ♦garlic clove Preheat oven to 450. Take out the neck piece from the chicken and rinse chicken thoroughly. If someone comes up with a good something something

I think I invented this drink, and if so, I will have to come up with a name for it. Ideas?Anyway, this is a healthy alcoholic drink because the main ingredient is red grapefruit juice with calcium. ;) I use Florida's Natural in the refrigerated section; it has fewer calories (90 per 8 oz.) than those on the shelves (roughly 120). Also, it's squeezed and not from concentrate, or so they claim.

I heard Nigella Lawson on NPR the other day, talking about having a backyard dinner, like a BBQ, that still has some style. One drink suggestion really caught my interest, and I tried it and loved it. Her suggestion:Mix one part rose wine with one part club soda and add some orange peel shavings. (Okay, I didn't do the orange peel because I'm not THAT fancy.)I found that if you add slightly more

Yes, I know it's summertime, but sometimes, a good bowl of beef stew perks you up! I usually make mine in the fall, or if it's going to be a particularly gloomy day (or three) and it's super-easy and delicious! Prep time is under 10 minutes, since it's a slow-cooker meal, so it's good for busy days. This recipe serves 6 adults.Loveyh's Beef StewIngredients:1-1.5 pounds sirloin beef, cut into

I have met many people who claim to have a great recipe for monkey bread. Their recipe usually involves Pillsbury biscuits and either a cinnamon and sugar mixture or pudding mix.

Puffy Pumpkin PancakesThese easy to make pumpkin pancakes are beautifully golden in color and have a fun "puffed-up" appearance. The pumpkin adds a hint of flavor and moistness and fiber it is a sneaky way to get some veggies in your kids! The girls and I tried these and they were not very "pumpkin-y". I really liked them. They were very moist and yummy. I even added wheat germ to add more

This stuff is delicious, and the great thing about granola is that you can pretty much substitute, subtract or add any of the dry ingredients, as long as you don’t mess with the total amount too much, and it will still be yummy.

This isn't actually a recipe, but I thought I would share with you guys this recipe cheat sheet I found at angrychicken.com.

When I was a teenager there was this really great cookie place in the mall in Vancouver. It was called The Cookie Cutter. I loved going there to get a cookie dough cone (just like it sounds, raw cookie dough scooped into a sugar cone-mmmm!) My favorite cookie that they sold there was a chocolate marshmallow cookie. It was soft with a thick layer of marshmallow in the middle and chocolate frosting

Every time I make this it reminds me of the movie 'A Christmas Story'. I end up pushing it into the pans and saying under my breath one of Ralphie's lines, "Meatloaf, meatloaf, double beatloaf..."I just hope my children never learn to eat like a 'piggy'.• 1 Beaten Egg• ½ cup seasoned stuffing mix or breadcrumbs(Herb or Italian tastes best)• 1/3 cup milk• 2 T onion/onion garlic soup

Drying pumpkin seeds and roasting seeds are two different processes. To dry: carefully wash pumpkin seeds to remove any pumpkin flesh. Pumpkin and squash seeds can be dried in a dehydrator at 115-120°F for 1 to 2 hours, or in an oven set on warm for 3 to 4 hours. Stir them frequently to avoid scorching.To roast the dried pumpkin seeds, toss with oil and/or salt and roast on a cookie sheet in a

I have an herb garden this year and decided to dry them myself. Being without a dehydrator, I looked and looked for some other ways to dry them. There are two methods that I've found work well.Using a brown paper bag is a great alternative from sun drying, especially when you have limited space or a rainy climate. You can accomplish this indoors in a well-ventilated room, basement, attic, or back

I found this recipe years ago in an old recipe book. I do not know which publication it came from but I've been told this is the best Coffee Cake ever, mostly by men.

When you are out of buttermilk I have a wonderful substitution that everyone should know.1 & 1/3 Tbsp of white vinegar Top off with milk making 1 & 1/3 cups total ‘buttermilk’. Set for 5 minutes. Use in entirety as buttermilk above.
