2011-12-14T08:43:00.002-07:00

by Author Lena Goldfinch

Bring out the red and green M&Ms! Add some wholesome oatmeal for a hearty, yummy cookie. My son loves these rich buttery chewy cookies hot from the over. My husband loves them even more.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup Holiday M&Ms

Directions

Preheat oven to 375⁰ F.

Cream together butter and both sugars. Blend in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, oatmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix gradually into dough until well-blended. Stir in M&Ms. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet (I find a darker non-stick cookie sheet works best). Bake for 7-8 minutes at 375⁰ F, until golden, but still moist and ever-so-slightly gooey. Remove from oven, let stand for about a minute, then remove immediately to cool. Makes about 3 dozen.

2011-03-05T13:33:00.007-07:00

I've been craving mushroom and this is soooo goood!

Fried Potatoes and Mushrooms
1.5lb-2lb of potato
15-18 oz of fresh or frozen mushrooms
2 medium onions
2 tbsp of oil
Salt to taste

Warm up a skillet (big enough to fit all food you are going to fry) with 2 table spoons of oil. Peel onions and slice them into half or quarter circles. Move onions to the skillet and fry over moderate-low heat until they softened and gain color.

If you use fresh mushrooms – clean and wash them with cold water. Slice mushrooms and add them to the skillet (add liquid received from unfreezing if you used frozen mushrooms)

Skin and slice potatoes into stripes; add them to the skillet

Season with salt and mix everything, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and fry until potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife. You will need to stir quite often, make sure mushrooms and onions don’t get burned, then turn off the heat.

Beef and Rice Casserole

2011-01-13T08:29:00.005-07:00

I found this recipe on Lena Nelson Dooley's webpage and tried it. It was so easy and tasted wonderful! I changed it a little but for other great recipes, check out her pages. And look at her books, Lena is a very talented author and a wonderful friend.

Beef and Rice Casserole

8 cups cooked rice
1 pound ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
½ cup water
3 cups chunky salsa (I use medium. You can use whatever strength you like.)
Grated pepperjack cheese (you can use any type cheese you like best)

Brown ground beef. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl combine rice, meat mixture, and salsa. Stir well.

Divide into two casserole dishes. Top with grated cheese. Microwave for ten minutes.

You can freeze one of these or share with a neighbor or shut in. You can also take one to a potluck and keep the second for dinner later in the week. With the one I plan to freeze, I leave the cheese off. After I thaw it to use it, I add the cheese and microwave.

Roasted Vegetables

2010-03-30T10:19:00.010-06:00

I confess: I stole this blog post from Nancy E. Mink's blog. Well, not really stole, I do have her permission to post it. When you get a chance go to her blog and website. I've posted the links to the side in my favorites list.

Vegetables to roast:
red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled
rutabagas, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
carrots, unpeeled
parsnips, peeled
onions, peeled
leeks (white and pale green parts only)
turnips, peeled
sweet potatoes or yams, unpeeled
beets (blanch & peel before roasting)
squash, asparagus and fennel (I know, these aren't root veggies, but good)

Cut all of the vegetables into large chunks. Place them in a large bowl(s) and drizzle a little olive oil over them along with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. You can also mix in your favorite herbs, such as rosemary and garlic. Toss them with your hands to coat them all. Place on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Roast in a 400 degree oven for about 1 hour until brown and caramalized, stirring and turning the vegetables mid-way. It's not an exact science and is easy to do...when they are brown and smell really good, you know they are ready.

Let them cool and then refrigerate in covered bowls or freezer bags.

Uses:

Plain as a side dish right out of the oven is my favorite. But, they are also good reheated and served with any main dish such as pork or fish.
Heat some in the microwave and then mash them with a bit of butter and milk. Serve as you would mashed potatoes with meat loaf, chicken, etc.
Make a quick au-gratin by slicing, layering them with bread crumbs, cheese and a small amount of cream or milk. Top with bread crumbs mixed with a little melted butter. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Add roasted vegetables to hot chicken or vegetable stock for a very quick soup. I use an emersion blender for a creamy soup. Add a dollop of sour cream and some chives on top.
Toss cold, sliced roasted vegetables with a vinegar and oil salad dressing (Italian dressing) and place on a bed of lettuce for a winter salad. Add chunky croutons or a bit of gorgonzola cheese on top.

roasted vegetable soup....roasted vegetables mixed with penne & cheese

Don't let those parsnips or beets intimidate you! We had a friend in his 50's that had never had fresh cooked beets. He said he didn't like beets (he was used to those in a can!) Now he loves them and we make sure to plant a few extra to give to him. If you have time, pickle some little beets to use in green salads instead of those rubber tomatoes they have in the grocery store in winter.
Eat your vegetables!
