Chicken and biscuits Here's another delicious winter all in one meal, that I could maybe eat every day. Or at least every day for a week, then maybe not for a while. Chicken and Biscuits (or dumplings) I'm not sure if these are biscuits or dumplings, on one hand I used a biscuit dough recipe, on the other the dough is dropped and cooked in the liquid gravy, which is what dumplings are. Either way, oh maaaaaan. 3 lb chicken (I used thighs, boneless and skinless) salt and pepper 4 T butter 1 large or 1 1/2 medium diced onions 1/2 c rice flour or sorghum flour 1 1/2 c hot water 1 1/2 c chicken stock 2 c mushrooms, quartered 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 2 handfuls green beans, cut into 3/4" pieces 1 t dried thyme 1 t salt 1/2 t pepper Cut the chicken into pieces of whatever size you'd like in your dinner. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, while you mix up the biscuit dough. I might, just for fun, try cooking the whole thing on the stove next time, covered, like dumplings.
Crash Hot Potatoes Man, do I love Australia. First, my oldest daughter was conceived there on our honeymoon…and while we’re on the subject, have I ever shared with you that we almost named her “Sydney” as a nod to her point of origin? In the end, I chickened out, though—I thought that might be a little corny, and truth be told, I think she was actually conceived in Brisbane. But I’ll stop there. This is a family-friendly website. Anyway, I just love Australia. They’re so simple, it’s terrifying. For now, though, let’s take a chill pill and make Crash Hot Potatoes! The Cast of Characters: New Potatoes (or other small, round potato), Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, and whatever herb you like. Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make, and cook them until they’re fork-tender. Oh! Next, generously drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan. This will mean the difference between the potatoes sticking and not sticking, so don’t be shy here. Or something. That’s it!
Baklava | C-J Recipes In a large bowl mix together the ground walnuts, sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon. Taste and add more cinnamon if desired. It should taste strongly, but not aggressively, of cinnamon, which can become bitter if overdone. Melt the butter. From the phyllo package take 2 sheets (or 4 halves) and put them aside, covered with a barely damp towel. Brush a heavy 10-by-16-inch baking cookie sheet with some of the melted butter. Lay one sheet of phyllo or two halves as they come in the package to cover the bottom of the pan. Repeat the process, laying down one sheet evenly at a time and brushing with melted butter until you have 9 sheets on the pan. Put on another sheet, but do not butter it. (Page 4 of 4) Cover that buttered sheet with an unbuttered sheet, spread on another 1/3 of the nut mixture, cover with a sheet and dab with butter, then an unbuttered one, and finish spreading the nut mixture on it. Heat oven to 350 degrees. With a sharp knife, cut pastry into diamonds. Syrup:
John Wayne Casserole Soooo, yeah. The only reason I made this recipe was because it's called 'John Wayne Casserole'. That's it. I had no idea what to expect with this. I'm posting the recipe as I found it originally, but for my little family of three, I cut it in half and made it in an 8x8 baking dish (I usually cut 9x13 dishes in half the first time I make them just in case it sucks, then I don't have to throw out a large amount of food). Not sure what makes this John Wayne's casserole, but it was certainly good, and something that Heath asked to be added to our favorites...so that's a win! 'John Wayne Casserole' Ingredients 2 pounds ground beef, cooked and drained 1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning 4 ounces sour cream 4 ounces mayonnaise 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided 1 yellow onion, chopped 2 cups Bisquick 1 cup of water 2 tomatoes, sliced 1 green bell pepper, chopped 1 (4-ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Taco Bake One food item I always seem to have in my pantry or in my fridge are flour tortillas. They are good for so many things. Tortillas can be made into so many different types of snacks for kids (and grownups). You can cut them up and fry them or bake them. You can make cinnamon chips, quesadillas, tortilla pizzas....The possibilities are endless...and easy on the wallet too. Sometimes when I only have a few left, I like to make this taco bake.
