Sunday Dinner

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great day.

Today, this is what we are going to be making.



My daughter and I went to a little restaurant called "Lake Manor" for our birthdays.

This is what we had, only Jenn had a cheese burger inside and I had a country fried steak.

I thought this would be great for the guys to have a large platter of these to watch the football game.

I made mine with country fried pork loin.

To stare out I purchased 2, 1 inch pork loin

chops butterflied, tenderized them, and pounded the heck out of them, lol.

Then  dipped them in seasoned four,

( salt, pepper, season salt, garlic salt,

and a little cyan pepper). then in egg and butter milk mixed together, then panko

bread crumbs. I fried them in a pan with about 1/2 inch peanut oil.

 Then make a package of bacon in the same pan.

Now that is one pork patty, you make 2 sandwiches out of that. I made 2  patties.

If you cut 2 sandwiches into 4 you have 16

yummy bites on a large platter to feed the guys.

You can put anything you like inside.

Cheese burgers, country fried chicken, steak or pork, even fried shrimp or lobster if you like.

The sky is the limit.

Next the grilled cheese. You make two, one for each side, I used Texas toast bread.

I used American and Hot Pepper cheese on one and American and Colby on the other.

you can use any cheese you like, just make sure it's good and cheesy!!

Then just put together.

One grilled cheese, a little mayo or mustard or what you like, I used a little mayo mixed with horseradish, then I put 3 pieces of bacon cut in half, then the pork patty, tomato, onion and the other grilled cheese.

With the pan drippings I made a pepper gravy to dip them in. I figured if you are going to

pig out, you might as well go all the way!!  LOL!!

You can also just serve half a sandwich with

 a nice salad or corn on the cob, and have a great lunch or dinner.

Don't forget to have a DIET coke with that!

LOL!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by

and taking a look.

Have a great Sunday.

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to show you an easy

Alfredo Sauce you can use for all kinds of dishes.

Recipe for the Sauce:

2 cups half and half

1/2 cup melted butter

1 8oz bar cream cheese cut into cubes

2 cups Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic salt, more if needed

pepper to taste.

In large pot on medium to low heat, put half and half, melted butter and cream cheese in and whisk until smooth. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic salt and pepper until  smooth and creamy.

Make sure you watch and whisk often so it doesn't burn or boil over.

I used my sauce with boiled egg noodles, and broccoli, for a side dish. If you add chicken,

it can be an all in one meal. Just and a salad

and garlic bread, and dinner is done.

Now I know this is going to be very rich, but if you would like a nice brunch on Sunday,

Make up the sauce the day before and put in fridge. Next morning, put some asiago

cheese bagels ( or your favorite kind) in the toaster. Put half on the plate,

place a piece of Havarti chesse on top, add

2 slices of bacon, a poached egg (or fried), then the sauce over top. serve with melon and strawberries!  YUM!!:)

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I hope I at least made you hungry:)

Have a great Sunday!!

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to share my Stuffing Recipe.

The only bad thing is I learned this from my mom and she didn't measure anything.

Mom was an excellent cook!!!

So I will do the best I can.



O.K. here goes:

Start out with one to one and a half loaves of bread torn into small pieces and let dry.

I put mine in the oven for about an hour

at 200 and stir every 30 min.

Take out put to the side, and sprinkle 1 cup of raisin and or dried cranberry.(my addition)

Then in a large pot place 2 sticks of butter.

Dice 1 lg. onion and 4  stalks of celery and

add to pot. The spices are, rubbed sage, ground thyme, and poultry season. along with salt and pepper. Here is where it gets a little tricky.

I am going to say 1 teaspoon sage, 2 of thyme

and 2 of poultry season, always add less, you can put more in later. let this saute until veggies are soft. Add chicken or turkey stock, about about 5 cups. Bring to boil. Turn off.

Take the bread and add salt and pepper to taste. Take all the veggies out of the stock and add to bread, then add stock a little at a time until bread is very moist. Taste, then if it needs more spices you can add them then. If it is to wet add more bread, if to dry add more stock.

Mix up 3 eggs and stir into dressing.

pour into a baking dish sprayed with Pam, cover and bake at 375, for about an hour, check every half hour  to see if middle is firm,

you can take off cover the last 15 min. to have the top crunchy,( I love that part).:)

Serves 6 to 8 people

I hope you liked the recipe for this week.

I like having dressing more that just

2 or 3 times a year.

Thank you for stopping by.

And Have a wonderful Sunday.

Hi everyone,

Today I had a sweet tooth and made

a fast dessert. You can use any

box cake mix you want. I used a Red Velvet

cake mix from Duncan Hines.

The recipe is from my moms recipe book.

It is for the "Cream Cheese Frosting".

It is soooo yummy

Here is the cake:

This recipe is so easy and it is good on all kinds of desserts. Like carrot cake and home made

cinnamon rolls, chocolate cup cakes, and

from waffles to pancakes. OK now I'm hungry!  LOL :):)

Here is the recipe:

1 stick butter soften

1 8oz cream cheese soften

3 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup nuts ( optional)

( I leave them out and put them on

top of cake if needed)

This covers a regular cake.

If you want some for decorating,make 2 batches. Put frosting in fridge to harden up some, it is a very soft frosting.

After decorating the cake put in fridge.

I hope you liked the recipe.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a blessed Sunday!!

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a recipe my daughter Jennifer created.

"Cheese Steak Pizza"

Fast and easy.

I made this for the first time a

few days ago, and it was soooo good!!!

Ingredients:

1 tube Pillsbury crescent rolls

1 lb roast beef shaved

1 lb mushrooms sliced

1 lg onion chopped

1 cup banana peppers

1 or 2 green, yellow or red peppers

sliced into strips

3 or 4 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

salt n pepper to taste

Creamy Italian dressing.

Red pepper flakes (option)

Parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 350

Open can of crescents, roll out and place on a foil lined cookies sheet sprayed with Pam.

Make sure to press the perforated spots together, so you have  one piece of dough to work with. Bake for 10 min.

While the dough is baking, saute the onions, mushrooms, and peppers (Not banana peppers) in a pan with a little butter. ( I left my peppers raw, I like them crisp on top of pizza). When crust comes out of the oven, pour Italian dressing on top then half the cheese. Spread the roast beef around, as mush as you like. Then the sauteed veggies and

banana peppers. Top with the last of the cheese

and salt and pepper to taste. ( I added some red pepper flakes for a little kick.) Bake

another 10 to 15 min or until the cheese is golden brown.  Top with parsley. Serve with mayo on the side for dipping.

Add a salad and a cold iced tea and dinner is served!!!

I hope you will try this recipe, it is awesome!!

Thank you Jennifer for the recipe.

And have a wonderful Sunday.

Hi Everyone,

Happy Sunday!!!

Today I have an all in one dinner for you.

"Broccoli Cheese and Ham Casserole"

It is so yummy!!!

You can use this as a dinner, and just add a veggie and bread, or leave out the meat and use as a side dish.

I also add apple sauce to the meal, for a little something sweet.

Here are the ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

1/4/cup chopped onion

3 tablespoons flour

3/4 cup chicken stock or water

1 1/2 lbs of Velveeta chopped into cubes

1 1/2 cups small cubed ham

2 lbs frozen broccoli florets, thawed

and heated up in the microwave.

Or you can use fresh

3 beaten eggs in small dish

2 cups crushed up corn flakes

1 casserole dish, sprayed with Pam

Set oven at 375 for 1 hour

Check every 20 min, as not to burn.

This will go very fast, so make sure you have everything ready when you start.

In large pan place butter and onions, cook

until soft. Put flour in and whisk for about

2 min. then add the chicken stock or water, it will start to get thick. Add cheese until it is smooth and creamy,( be careful not to burn).

Stir in the ham and broccoli, take off heat.

Stir in the 3 beaten eggs until just combined.

Pour in the Pam sprayed dish and cover with

cornflakes.

Bake and enjoy:)

I hope you will try this recipe. We have it

for Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is that good.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a great Sunday.

 Hi everyone,

Well, it's Sunday again, and here is

 what is on the menu.

My friend Dawn from

Dawn's Craft Place

has sent me a wonderful "Corn Chowder"

recipe. I thank her so much for the recipe.

Dawn is a great designer!!

I would love for you to pop over to

her site and take a look at all

 the wonderful projects she has made.

I joined her blog, and follow by e-mail,

so I can see what she has every day.

Here is Dawn's recipe:

This chowder would be great on a cooler night in mid summer, when you can find fresh sweet

corn in abundance. ( If you can't find fresh, use canned or frozen) The "secret" ingredient

in this recipe is old Bay Seasoning".

Old Bay is an old school spice blend that you

don't see used very much anymore, but really

gives this soup a unique flavor. Dice your veggies to about 1/4 inch for the perfect

flavor combination in every spoonful.

Seafood lovers can stir in half a pound of jumbo lump crab meat along with the corn to turn this into a heartier corn and crab chowder. As is the recipe serves 4 to 6.

.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 ribs celery, diced
• 1 small red pepper, diced
• 1 poblano pepper, diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 bayleaf
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
• 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
• 1 quart 2% milk
• 3 cups fresh corn kernels, shaved from about 3 large or 4 medium ears
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat a deep pot over medium heat. Add oil and butter. As you chop the potatoes
, celery
, onion, 
red pepper

 and poblano, add them to the pot in order. If the vegetables start to brown, turn the heat down to medium-low.
2. Add the bay leaf and season with salt, pepper and Old Bay. Sauté for 5 minutes, then sprinkle in the flour.
3. Cook flour for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in broth and milk.
4. Bring the soup to a boil, but make sure to continue stirring so the milk doesn’t scorch on the bottom of the pot. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
5. Add corn and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning; you will most likely need to add more salt.
6. Remove the bay leaf, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped cilantro or parsley. 

This sound so good!!!  I just had to make it...

Here is what mine looked like:

Oh my goodness it was sooooo good!!!

This is a keeper!!

I hope you will try this one out.

I hope Dawn's recipe made you hungry!

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a wonderful Sunday.

Sunday Dinner

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to do a dish in the slow cooker. I love the slower cooker,
you can put your dinner in the
cooker in the morning

and if you are like me, get the
house cleaned, then the rest of
the day is for crafting:-)

I like making something on a Sunday

 morning, then make other dishes out

of the left overs for the rest of the week.

Today I am making a pork shoulder,

 Boston butt.

Ingredients:

1. 5lb pork butt

2. 2 cans cream of mushroom soup

3. 1 can cream of celery soup

4. 1 can chicken stock

5. 1 package of beef aujus' mix

( or 1 can beef broth)

6. 2 lg sweet onion chopped lg

7. 6 stalks of celery chopped small

8. 2 cups baby carrots (optional)

9. 3 lg potatoes chopped (optional)

10. 5 or 6 garlic cloves

You can put any kind of veggies that you like.

In large slow cooker add soups, chicken stock,

aujus' mix, onions, celery, and any other veggies you desire.

Rinse the pork butt off and pat dry.

On the side with the fat make small slits

in the top and stuff the garlic in side.

Place roast, fat side up in the cooker,

and season with salt and pepper.

( be careful with the salt, the soups

have lots of salt in them already)

Place on medium (275 to 300) and
cook 4 to 5 hours

or until the roast is fall off the bone tender.

I added a few peaches on the top for

a little sweet taste.

Make the gravy out of sauce in cooker.
Pour sauce in pan, strain out veggies, put to the side. Bring to light boil,
mix 1/2 cup cold water with 3 Tbs. of
corn starch, pour in sauce. Bring
back to boil to thicken.
Serve veggies on the side, whip
up some mashed potatoes or
Mac and cheese and a salad, then ring the dinner bell. Yum!!! :)

As an added goodie today I am going

to share my sister in law, Tina's recipe for

"Bagel Cheese Dip"

1. 1 jar Old English Cheese

2. 2 8oz packages of cream cheese

3.1 bunch of green onions chopped

4. milk, just enough to make smooth

In bowl mix cheeses together until smooth.

Add onions and just enough milk to

make it smooth and creamy.

If you like it more cheesy, use an extra
jar of Old English Cheese, or add some
cheddar cheese powder.
You can get this at Nuts.com.
They have all kinds of great items.

Serve with pieces of your favorite bagels,

or raw veggies. It is also great heated

up and served over broccoli.

You can also make a great pork sandwich.

Just use some of the pork you just made.

Toast up a hoagie bun, place cheese dip on the bun and add pork and onions from

 the dinner you just made.

YUUUUM!!!

Thank you Tina!!

I hope I at least made you hungry!

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great Sunday.
