Whole Wheat “Goldfish” (or whatever you want) Crackers

These were so good. So, so good. We made stars, but you can actually buy goldfish style cookie cutters to make your own copycat Goldfish crackers. I had used freshly ground white whole wheat – I would assume regular all purpose flour would work fine, too. These crackers were husband approved in my household – […]

Chicken and Dumplings

This is great comfort food. The soup turns into a gravy as you cook the dumplings and the chicken shreds apart and the whole dish turns into this hot, stick-to-your-ribs gravy goodness that warms any winter day.

If you want to make this dish look pretty, you could roll the dough out […]

Shish Tawook (Chicken Kabobs)

This is a middle eastern dish that we find to be extremely delicious. While it is mean to be served in a pita with hot cooked rice and toum (that garlic sauce/paste that is often included with just about every middle eastern dish at the restaurants), we find the meat to be delicious as a […]

Toum (Lebanese Garlic Sauce)

Oh, this stuff. We used to live near Dearborn MI) and had easy access to Lebanese food. With every meal came pita bread and the garlic sauce with the mayo-like consistency. There seem to be two varieties (that I noticed – we didn’t eat at every place out there but we did try our fair […]

Pita Bread

Ingredients:

2-1/2 c flour 2tsp salt 1tb sugar 2tsp yeast 2tb olive oil 1c warm water

Method:

By the time you are ready to […]

“Cream Of” Soup Multi-Purpose, Bulk Mix

This is the best mix I have ever used when it comes to the creamy condensed soups. I keep it in a mason jar in my pantry and makes about 8-1 can servings. I am not too wild about the bouillon it contains so we don’t use it too often. I try to splurge for […]

Steak Seasoning

While this is of course awesome on steak, we also love it on chicken and pork chops! When just salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder won’t do….

Ingredients:

1tb ground mustard 2ts garlic powder 2ts salt 2ts black pepper 1ts paprika 1/2 ts thyme 1/2 ts cayenne 1ts onion powder

Method:

Combine seasonings in […]

Blanched, slivered and sliced almonds (At home)

We normally buy whole almonds, but use the sliced and slivered variety so seldom that I never keep them on hand. I was making our favorite oriental chicken salad and instead of just crumbling almonds in the food processor like I sometimes do or making a run into town for a little baggie of slivered […]
