Tart Cherries Are Sweet
I saw some tart pitted canned cherries on sale at the local grocery store this past weekend. They were $1.50 a can instead of the normal price of over $3 a can. I bought two for future use.
My favorite pie is cherry, but I rarely make it because my family is into chocolate and not [...]
Freeze and Eat Later
We made beef stroganoff last spring and it makes twice as much as our family needs. So we cook on casserole and freeze the other.
I surprised some of my co-workers when I told them that we made it in February and it tasted like it was cooked yesterday. They mentioned the dreaded words: FREEZER BURN.
No, [...]
Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
My niece, an avid pumpkin pie lover and a chocolate lover, thought it would be delicious to eat a chocolate pumpkin pie. I usually cook a pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving meal; and this year I am adding a new twist. Basically the pie is made like a traditional pumpkin pie with the canned pumpkin, [...]
Apple Pie Topping
When I make apple pie, which I did yesterday, I only make a bottom crust. On top I use a topping that my mom used to make when she made pies for me when I was growing up. She gave me the recipe and it is mighty tasty.
Here it is, it’s simple. Mix 1 stick [...]
Healthy Oats
I have read how oatmeal is a super food that is good for you. However, I don’t know if it is laziness or what, but I like oatmeal uncooked better than cooked. I always eat the old fashioned kind.
I have always wondered if you get the same health benefits from oatmeal by not cooking it. [...]
North Carolina Apples
I enjoy a crisp apple. Red delicious, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady’s are my current favorites. They all tend to stay crisp. A couple of days ago, my coworker, Donald Jones, brought me an apple that was just picked off a tree in western North Carolina. Oh my it was tasty.
I have a new appreciation [...]
Deep Fried Fair Food
We went to the NC State Fair over the weekend, and as usual it was a smorgasbord of fried food. One, is the fried candy bar. I am not a big fan of adding more fat to an already fattening food but decided to try it at home.Here is the recipe for a fried candy [...]
Last Minute Kabobs
Found that marinating meat in Italian dressing is a good way to do Kabobs on the grill. Yesterday I went to the store and found some east coast shrimp, I added some beef tips that were on sale and I was on my way to making a kabob. Usually we use chicken and steak with [...]
Watermelon Selection
On a summer day I love a good slice of watermelon and how it can quench your thirst and hunger. I used to think that watermelon wasn’t a healthy fruit because it had a lot of sugar. Well now I realize that is a healthy fruit with liposyne. So I love eating watermelon guilt free.
But, I [...]
Coho Salmon On The Grill
Found some fresh, wild caught, coho salmon on sale at the store, so I bought some. I fired up my charcoal grill to get a hot fire going. I rubbed some olive oil and season salt on the fish and put it scale side down. After I closed the grill, I was thinking that when [...]
