Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Marsala
Simple, but always enjoyable. Open some chicken breast and stick folded spinach wrapped around artichoke hearts inside the fold. Cover with olive oil and season, then place in a pan of Marsala wine and bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. I served this along with a split pea soup that was delicious.
Read MoreMy First SPAM Slice
I have never, in my life had SPAM until tonight. When I told my boss at work, he volunteered a slice. If you have ever eaten spam, you probably would say, it’s not much to write home about, and you are right. It definitely would require some “getting used to” if you had to eat it all the time. What got me started on it was when I heard a podcast from Josh and Chuck of Stuff You Should Know, a podcast from howstuffworks.com, and the way they described it, it didn’t sound half bad. I had always written off SPAM as a nasty thing made from something resembling meat. It is...
Read MoreHobo Dinners
This is a summer camping trip family tradition. If you are out camping you can easily prepare the ingredients and since it cooks right on the coals of the fire, you can cook it anywhere. We were not camping, but this made for a unique dinner experience. And with the heat this summer it was nice just not to heat up the house cooking. The basic ingredients are ground beef, seasoning, potatoes, onions and whatever other vegetables you have such as carrots, peppers, and squashes. You have each person make their own meat patty and assemble their vegetables under and on top of the meat. Season and...
Read MoreMy first risotto
I have to admit, I like all the Gordon Ramsey cooking shows. The ones where Gordon tears into people about how they can’t cook. It’s always the risotto that everyone claims is so simple, but everyone messes up. I have never even eaten risotto at a restaurant, so cooking it was a little tricky. But I watched a few YouTube videos to get the technique down and then gave it a try. Honestly, it’s a simple thing to make, but I can see how making it with exact timing could be tricky. I’ve cooked it twice since the first time and I’ve determined that it’s best to...
Read MoreBroccoli Beef Balls with Gravey
This was one of those meals when you are trying to stretch every penny and you want to serve ground beef three nights in a row, but you don’t want the kids to notice that you are severing ground beef three nights in a row. So one night I did a meat loaf, and then another night I did a beefy pasta dish and then on the last night I whipped these up and they were a hit. I made biscuit dough (egg and milk free) and then rolled it super thin and sliced it into squares. Much like making pot stickers but I added cooked ground beef (cooked and seasoned as meatballs) and steamed broccoli. I...
