Recipes
Here are a few to get you guys started ...Hope you enjoy and give me some feed back on what you think.
Ok guys …This is what some of you have been waiting a very long time for. My special recipes. All that I ask do not share some of them. They are family recipes, family recipes are hard to get and in some cases are only meant to be shared with family only. Some are also Gene’s family’s recipes. Some I've made alterations to to make a variation to original. Some of these are also some new recipes that I’ve been playing with that I’ve come up with. As I get new recipes I will be adding, as I update I’ll let you know. Please also know that because some of these are family recipes not all of them have actual measurements they are somewhat eyeballed, or seasoned to taste.
This one is just for Kara Johns.
My roast that Shaun probably has talked about. Red wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, marjoram. I do it in the crockpot on low for about 5 to 6 hours. Or the other one is Malt vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, rosemary, thyme and marjoram. Both beef roasts Chuck or rump work. I eyeball all the measurements and I use about 4 cups water. Or it could be the biggie that I do that everyone loves ….
Polynesian pot roast
1 5 to 8 lb beef roast (Chuck or rump) 2 to 4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 cups pineapple juice
2 cups water garlic powder onion powder
Pepper ½ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch with ¼ cup water
Combine everything but the roast really well in crock pot. Add roast. Put on low. Cook about 6 to 8 hours. Take about 3 cups of stock place in pot. Bring to boil add cornstarch mix bring back to boil, simmer till thickens for gravy for potatoes.
**I have used pork roast with this and it has turned out just as good**
Monster dip (also known as 7 layer dip, the name was changed because of the weight and size)
Green chilies refried beans cheedar cheese
Green olives 8 oz cream cheese Colby cheese
Black olives 16 oz sour cream jack cheese
Salsa taco seasoning Mexican mix cheese
Bottom layer …blend together taco seasoning cream cheese then fold in sour cream
Next layer …blend together salsa and refried beans
Layer olives, chilies
Top with your choice of cheese it really doesn’t matter
Chill 2 hours then serve
** I have used the Tastefully Simple Fiesta Party Dip mix instead of the Taco seasoning and it has turned out totally amazing …Thanks to Becki Thompson as my TS Rep**
This recipe has also been altered so many times because its been prepared last minute because of last minute demands, so it was what I’ve had on hand. So it can be altered to what you have on hand or what you prefer. This is just how we make it. There aren’t many chips that can hold up to this chip. On the Border chips do good.
My Grandma’s Pink stuff
A new BBQ favorite around here.
A large tub of cottage cheese crushed pineapple
12 oz cool whip ‘red jello’
8 oz marshmallows
Combine everything but the marshmallows, chill 2 hours. Fold in marshmallows just prior to serving.
Any flavor of red doesn’t matter. Variations use mandarin oranges instead of pineapple and orange Jello.
Gene’s mom’s Pulled pork sandwiches
1 5 to 8 lb pork loin or pork butt
For crockpot method
1 tablespoon onion powder 2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder 2 teaspoon red crush pepper flakes
1 to 2 teaspoons liquid smoke 1 cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce ½ cup brown sugar
4 cups water
Place spices, water, vinegar and liquid smoke in crock combine well put pork in. cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove cool 30 mins, shred. Allow Crock to stay on low. Add brown sugar to mix. Add more red pepper if you want it spicier. Add shredded pork back to crock cook another hour or 2.
Smoked method.
Same spices, but rub spices and liquids on except omit liquid smoke. Prepare grill or smoker with charcoal and wood of choice. Allow to smoke for about 8 hours. Set to rest or cool for 30 mins. While resting prepare ‘mop sauce’. 1 cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, ½ cup brown sugar and 1 cup water. Shred meat. Add meat to sauce simmer over hot coals or on stove for about an hour or nice and hot. Add additional spices as needed. I usually add a few dashes of garlic, pepper and red pepper to my sauce.
Serve on a bun with slaw. Sorry I don’t have the perfect slaw recipe …YET.
Baked beans from dried beans
**this is one of those season to taste recipes**
1 16 oz bag of great northern beans
Catsup BBQ sauce onion powder
Mustard (preferred flavor or type) garlic powder pepper
½ to 1 cup brown sugar 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
Ham chunks, bacon bits, ham bone or ham hocks
Soak beans at least 24 to 48 hours
Drain and rinse with fresh water, fill pot, add spices ham bone or ham hock. Bring to boil. Simmer 90 mins to 2 hours. Till beans are nice and tender. Stirring occasionally.
Drain. Add catsup, mustard, BBQ sauce, ham chunks or bacon bits. Add water to thin or thicken as to desired consitancey. Sauce will thicken as it bakes. Water will NOT effect flavor. Bake 300 for 90 mins to 2 hours.
Yes it sounds like a lot of work, but so worth it. And if you have a lot of beans to get rid of, even more well worth it. And they smell so good too. A variation you can use is omit the brown sugar or reduce the brown sugar and use honey.
Fruit dip
1 12 oz tub extra creamy cool whip
1 8 oz cream cheese
Whip cream cheese till creamy. Fold together with cool whip. Chill
**I also use this to fill cakes but I double it to top the cakes as well and add in berries**
Beef Broccoli
Some of you might remember the beef broccoli I used to make this is NOT the same recipe this is a different one this is a MUCH better one.
Steak or roast cut into cubes broccoli florets 2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
Marinade
1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice wine or rice vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Sauce
3 tablespoons soy or teriyaki sauce ¼ cup beef broth
1 tablespoons rice wine or rice vinegar 2 to 3 dashes ground ginger
Marinate beef in marinade above. Prepare sauce. Blanch broccoli for 2 mins by dropping broccoli in boiling water. Drain. Heat oil in wok or large skillet. Add beef in hot oil. Add garlic and sauce. Bring to boil, pour in corn starch, cook stir till sauce boils and thickens. Serve over rice.
Cranberry Sauce
1 cup water (or 1 cup OJ) Optionals ¼ teaspoon cloves
3 cups Cranberries 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup honey) ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon allspice
Bring Sugar and water to boil. Add in Cranberries bring back to boil. Drop to simmer, simmer for 10 mins or till berries start to burst or pop. When they all pop, you’re done. This is a ‘chunky’ version. If you prefer a less chunky version you can take a hand blender and crush them down.
Cheesecake
3 8 oz cream cheese
3 large eggs
¾ cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 extra serving graham cracker pie crust or you can make your own.
Blend cream cheese till nice and creamy. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Pour into pie crust. Bake 350 45 to 55 mins.
I’ve added oreos to this, cocoa, …pretty much anything and its turned out.

Happy St Patrick's Day
Happy St Patrick's Day everyone. We had our celebration dinner yesterday, due to timing with other events that are happening in the afternoon.
However after 6 years of playing around with this one recipe that I found in my Irish Heritage cookbook, I think I have perfected the perfect corned beef and cabbage. Not that vacuumed packed corned beef. This is an Irish recipe that uses a fresh brisket. You cure/corn the brisket yourself in a brine. It sounds like a lot of work, but its not really. Its actually really easy, you just have to remember when to pull it out and cure it. Its also better for you, its not injected with nitrates and other crap, that turn it that bright pink color.
6 to 8 lb fresh beef brisket
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
2 cups Kosher salt
1 gallon water
1 Non corrosive stock pot
Pour salt into pot. Pour about 1 quart HOT water to "melt" the salt, then the rest of the water COLD, stir to disolve. Add in the vinegars. Put the meat in fat side up. The meat will "float". Allow to cure 48 to 72 hours at room temp or in fridge. I've done both, both work fine and taste fine.
When ready to cook. Drain and rinse meat well with cold water.
In either a crock pot or the same stock pot, put generous pinch of tarragon and marjoram, garlic, pepper, 3 to 4 bay leaves, 1/4 cup of malt vinegar and about 6 to 8 cups of water, then the meat in fat side down. I use a crock pot 6 to 8 hours on low, it falls apart when you take it out. About 3/4 way through the cooking put 1 head of chopped cabbage under the meat and finish cooking.
I normally don't like cabbage but I'll eat this cabbage. I used to HATE corned beef, until I used this recipe. It's NOTHING like the vacuumed packed briskets. It will NOT be pink. It will be brown just like a regular roast. It doesn't have a strong vinegar taste or smell.
We normally eat this with some form of potato and Tastefully Simple beer bread (Thanks Becki). The beer bread really brings out the flavor I think. ...Maybe I should have posted this a few days ago, but hey worth it for next year. I don't post recipes unless I feel they are worth sharing and are that awesome.

Killing time
Yesterday I thought I'd try and have some fun with my camera. As my camera and I have not associated a lot lately. And this is what I came up with ...Just a few candid shots. I had all of my "chores" for the day done, I really didn't want to watch TV ...so I played with the kids.
Riley pulled out his buzzlight year camera and was taking pictures too. Better than him taking one of mine.
Sleeping Beauty ...she played hard all morning. She grabbed her blankie and her kitty and crawled up on the couch on her own and fell asleep.
I pulled back the blanket so you could see how long she is. That's her daddy kitty. A kitty her and daddy picked out together, so she'd have something to cuddle with when daddy wasn't home. Now its turning into her security cuddle.
This one I told Rayne to give Aunt Becki a kiss. I couldn't believe it turned out as well as it did ...You can see her lips and yes those are just her lips
Riley pulled out his buzzlight year camera and was taking pictures too. Better than him taking one of mine.

Some thinking ...Finger 11
Ok I was sitting here rocking and moving ...just a cleaning away, I mean I was moving. Rayne and Riley were playing in their room and watching Sherk. I got all 3 hall closets cleaned out, my bedroom closet cleaned out, my room cleaned up, Rayne and Riley's closet cleaned out ...all before 9:30 ...Like I said I was MOVING AND ROCKING. So it was time to come into the living room and family room to do the daily pick up straighten up in there and clean out the living room closet. I figured that the kids were in their room fine and ok I was going to put a CD in and listen to some music. I tossed in Finger Eleven and was jammin even harder. Then "Falling On" came on and I started listening to the words, I even repeated the song and I got to thinking oh how true that song was about a lot of things and different aspects. You really do have to find a balance. Lunch time then running up to the thrift store to drop off 4 big bags of crap we are getting rid of.
Lyrics as follows ....
Lyrics as follows ....
Finger Eleven "Falling On"
When you feel so close to some resolve
And you write the words you were writing for
But your courage gets dissolved Into what, I don't know...
When you feel that way again
You have to stop your thinking
And think of what you're here for
And let the rest of your feelings go
You've got to find your balance
You've got to realize
You've got to try to find what's right before your eyes
And if you find you've fallen
And all your grace is gone
Just scream for me and I'll be what you're falling on
When you feel so close to some resolve
And you say the things that you're standing for
Don't let your courage get dissolved
Cause it's then that the fear grows
Just give me the word and I'll be there for you
Just give me the words that I've been living for
Just give me the words that I've been living for
Just tell me the things you might have felt before
It's do or die -- this is either/or
Just give me the word and I will be there
Just give me the word and I will be there
