Just a few of my personal recipes I like to make now and then.
Introduction
First time in the kitchen in awhile, to cook that is. I finally gave in to requests to cook Beef Stronganoff, a favorite of my kids when they were younger. (more…)
This is another one of those great simple dishes for a cool evening. Onion Soup emerged from Paris France back in the 1700’s. It is a soup based on meat stock, and obviously, onions. I usually serve it with bread and cheese of some sort (usually sliced baguette and mozzarella/parmesan). (more…)
The Tortilla has been around forever, and can be used almost everywhere. It is a flat unleavened type of bread made from various ground grains. This is my version of the Tortilla made from standard white (wheat) flour. (more…)
IntroductionChili con carne (chili with meat) is a type of stew containing chilies, meat, tomatoes, and beans. The dish originates in Southern Texas/Northern Mexico.
There is no one original recipe that I am aware of. Chili recipes tend to vary widely, and most cooks have their own preferred ingredients and methods of preparation, as well as preferred amount of spiciness.
This is my personal take for a chili recipe that is flavorful, and moderately spicy. While it will probably not win any awards, I love a steaming bowl of it on those cold winter evenings. (more…)
IntroductionMy grand children love pancakes!
A pancake (hotcake, griddlecake, or flapjack) is a flat thin round cake made from flour based batter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan.
Pancakes are typically served covered with a sweat syrup, maple being common in the United Starts.
Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes were probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten. (more…)
