If you are including vegetables, add them according to their cooking time. If you are including peas or corn, add them toward the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat starts to cook, as they take very little cooking time. 4 Add the ground beef, then worcestershire sauce and broth: Add ground beef to the pan with the onions and vegetables.

martha’s macaroni-and-cheese I’m sorry. I know, this isn’t right. Not fair. Totally cruel. But I had to. You see, I gave you a recipe last year for something that was honest-to-goodness-ly the easiest macaroni-and-cheese recipe ever invented. But when I made it for a second time in January, something wasn’t right. So I turned to the one recipe I had heard from ten thousand people (and their mothers) was the bee’s knees. I just melted into a puddle remembering how good it was. One year ago: Corniest Corn Muffins This week: We’re on vacation right now. Martha Stewart’s Creamy Mac-and-Cheese Adapted from Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics Now, please be warned, this makes a ton-a mac-and-cheese. This is particularly delicious with a big, crunchy salad and a steamed vegetable, like green beans or broccoli. Serves 12 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Hash-brown casserole | The Wanna be Country Girl This hash-brown casserole is the perfect side dish. I served it last night with my chicken pot pie to a crowd. It’s cheesy comfort food at its best. The parmesan gives it a tangy flavor, and best of all it’s really easy to fix. Its got five ingredients you mix together and pop it in the oven. Start out by adding 1 – 32 ounce bag of hash-browns to a large mixing bowl. Next add 2 – 10 3/4 ounce cans of cream of potato soup. Followed by 16 ounces of sour cream. Now comes the cheesy part. And 1 cup of fresh grated parmesan cheese. Next add a good-sized pinch of salt and pepper, and that’s it. Put the mixture into a buttered Pyrex. Run this wonderful concoction into a pre-heated oven at 350′ for 1 hour See…..brown and crunchy. You may wonder why I’ve taken such a close-up picture. It’s because I almost forgot to take a photo at all. Enjoy! the wanna be country girl – Caroline

Pork Chops Agrodolce Living in Southern California where the sun is good for growing and the farms are plentiful, I am blessed to be able to get all manner of fresh fruits and vegetables at stellar prices. Now meat, on the other hand, is another story. Getting quality meats (ideally hormone-free, and free-range) that are locally sourced costs me an arm and a leg, and sometimes even more than that (tack on a few extra fingers to cover tax, and you get my drift). It is interesting, because people here are very conscious of eating well-sourced meat, but the supply of local beef/chicken/pork is low compared to other areas of the country. Fresh thyme. I found myself pondering this issue of the price of pork when I recently decided to make this recipe for Pork Chops Agrodolce a second and third time. You see, the first time I made this recipe was when I was visiting my parents in Ohio. 3/4-inch thick, bone-in pork chops. Chopped peppers for serving with pork chops. Impossibly dark Agrodolce sauce.

Pierogi Recipe | Cooking Momofuku at home - Momofuku for two - StumbleUpon October 2, 2010 My mom is obsessed with keeping a stocked freezer, but I guess I don’t really take after her, because my freezer tends to be relatively empty, aside from random containers of stock/ramen broth, frozen dumplings and pierogi. I admit, I store buy frozen chinese dumplings and pierogi for those times that I just don’t feel like cooking. I tell myself it’s because of ease and convenience, but really, I just love the taste of frozen pockets filled with deliciousness. Pierogi are fast, tasty, and ideal for when I let myself get too hungry and become a crazy unthinking monster. (This happens more often than you would believe). It’s Oktoberfest right now and that means two things: beer and sausages. I found an old Gourmet magazine pierogi recipe on epicurious.com and for my first pierogi making experience, it was great.

Chicken Diablo Um, excuse me but, who is this. . .Diablo? Does he have a mustache? Does he ride a motorbike?

Coq au Vin Coq au Vin is cozy winter food. It’s meant to slow cook and, like many stews, tastes even better the day after it’s prepared. I’ve come across recipes for quick Coq au Vin. This option sounds ideal for a busy weekday night, but, if you ask me, I would rather save my Coq au Vin for the weekend when it can simmer away, filling the kitchen with warmth and the aromas of wine and herbs, while building anticipation for dinner to come. Traditional Coq au Vin required slow cooking, since it called for using a tough rooster as its main ingredient, which benefited from a long cooking process to tenderize the bird. Nowadays, chicken is commonly used, and the length of cooking time is shortened. In this version, I omit the bacon and use a generous amount of brandy to deglaze the pan. Coq au Vin – Chicken Braised in Red Wine As an option to butchering a whole chicken, purchase 2 whole legs and 2-3 breasts with skin and bone intact. Preheat oven to 325 F. (170 C.) Transfer pot to stove top.

I used to commute between my home in the San Francisco (which was only 7 miles away from the office but took 40 minutes to drive sometimes) to the office near the Embarcadero or to the winery in Napa Valley in my little beloved 2-seater fancy pantsy convertible. I know, a tough life, huh? On the days that I’d head to the city office, I would try to take the subway a couple times a week and on the walk after work back to the subway, I’d often meet friends for dinner at a Greek restaurant called Kokkari. The must-order item on the menu is Fried Smelt, little fishies fried whole and served with a garlic-potato skordalia (thick potato-based dipping sauce) and wedges of lemon. How to Make Fried Smelt Here are the smelt fish, my fishmonger sells them thawed just like this. The matzo meal is mixed with garlic powder and salt (or you could use garlic salt).
