My mother gave me the heads-up on this new device. Not sure how I feel about reading all my books on Kindle, an electronic ebook. I'm sure as the price comes down, as it is quite cost-prohibitive for me now, I might consider it. For the time being, I can buy books much cheaper at the used book store, and when I'm done reading them selling them on eBay. Hmmm, this is definitely something to look into sometime down the road.
I'm sorry but I have a difficult time calling this art. My backyard has more of these than I know what to do with!!!
Flour (for coating meat)
2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds beef cubes
Salt and Pepper
Combine flour and beef cubes to coat, add salt and pepper to taste.
Melt butter in pan and brown beef cubes for 20 minutes in large pot.
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves
In the meantime, saute in 1 tablespoon butter, a sliced medium onion and 2 garlic cloves.
When beef is done, add sauteed onion mixture to beef.
Add to above mixture:
4 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon worchestershire
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1-2 bay leaves
Pinch of cloves
Cook above for 1-1/2 hours over low heat, and lid partially covering pot.
Add:
6 carrots (I use a bag of small pre-peeled carrots)
3-4 cubed potatoes
and continue cooking for 1 hour.
Gravy:
Mix 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 flour and add to above mixture, and mix till thickened (push meat to side to add gravy).
ENJOY!!!
So delicious, you won't have any left over!!!
8 large hard-cooked eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Country Dijon mustard
2 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Paprika for sprinkling
Discard shells from eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and arrange whites on a plate.
In a bowl mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into whites (I use a cookie shooter). Chill deviled eggs, covered, 1 hour.
Just before serving sprinkle eggs with paprika and serve cold.
Makes 16 deviled eggs.
* When I make these, I do large volumes, and find that I usually have to add more mayonnaise to make them creamier, but that's up to you. I also add extra hot sauce, and that hasn't turned off any of those who don't like spicy.

2 pounds chicken breast halves, skinned
2 quarts water (or chicken broth if not making from scratch)
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped onion
1 ¾ cups chopped celery
1 ½ cups chopped green pepper
½ cup chopped green onions (or regular onion)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 (14 ½-ounce) can ready-to-serve chicken broth

½ pound smoked sausage, sliced
1 pound unpeeled medium-size fresh shrimp
Hot cooked rice
* Used bay scallops instead of sausage
* Used pre-baked chicken

Combine chicken and water in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from broth; set aside to cool. Strain broth, if desired, and transfer to a large container; set aside. Bone and chop chicken; set aside.
Place flour in a 15- x 10- x 1-inch jellyroll pan. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until very brown, stirring every 15 minutes. Set aside.
Cook onion and next 4 ingredients in oil in Dutch over over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Add browned flour, thyme, and next 3 ingredients, stirring until smooth. Add reserved broth, chicken, canned broth, tomato paste, and sausage. Bring to a boil; reduced heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour.
Peel and devein shrimp; add to broth mixture. Cover and simmer 10 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Remove and discard bay leaves. Serve over rice. If you like, add dollop of butter and mix in. DELICIOUS!!!
Yield: 4 ½ quarts.
Absolutely the best!!!
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (or breasts)
2 cans chicken broth + water to equal 6 cups + extra can of broth
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper to taste
garlic salt to taste
minced onion (big pinch)
parsley (big pinch)
2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons Wondra (3 tablespoons if you like sauce thicker) (or use flour)
½ cup cold water
In a large pot over medium heat, simmer chicken in water/broth mixture until no longer pink. Remove chicken, cool and shred.
Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in butter, salt, pepper, and herbs. Cook until chicken reaches desired tenderness, 15 to 60 minutes.
In a bowl, stir together Bisquick and milk until smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together flour and ½ cup cold water until smooth. Stir flour mixture into soup; bring soup to a rolling boil.
Drop Bisquick mixture by tablespoonfuls into the boiling water, neatly around the chicken. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Then cover and cook 10 minutes more (sneak a spatula under the dumplings to prevent chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot). Serve hot.
Yields: 6 servings.
