St. Patrick's Day the Right Way. For  real home made brined corned beef, you need to get started soon, as you need around two weeks for the brining process.

Corned BeefSt. Patrick's Day is one of our favorite holidays here in Chicago, and not just because the river is dyed green.  With our long history in the meat industry, we love any holiday that traditionally features a giant piece of slowly marinated beef.  Sure, you can get pre-made or quick-cooking corned beef, but for the real thing, you need to start with good beef and let it brine until it's perfectly flavored and meltingly tender.  Our brine recipe will give you the best corned beef, whether you eat it straight, slice it into Reubens, or make it into hash.

strawberriesSpice CupboardIs your cinnamon old enough to vote?  Can you trace your vanilla bottle back to Cortez?  Time to clean out your spice cupboard! 

Your spices need the benefit of a spring cleaning just as much as the rest of your home. Many people are unaware that ground spices only have a one year shelf life. Why not take one of these dreary winter days and give your spice rack a well deserved make-over?

Lena after reading GB's comment about the Caramelized Pork I had to go look for the recipe... I found it and went to the store. I had almost everything and just need to pick up a tenderloin.

I was sooooooo impressed with this recipe. EASY too. Most Excellent flavor and the sauce was so tasty my husband was looking for more. I may have to double the sauce part next time just for him. I was a little Freaked out by the Fuax - tay - toes, but I followed the recipe to the letter and I was so surprised at just how good they where. I am going to try them on my kids when they come home. When I took off the processor cover they even smelled like potatoes. OMG ..The texture I had to get used too, the taste is amazing. Both of these are keeper recipes for sure I will be making this one again. I made Tarter tots just in case my husband did not like the Fuax -tay- toes. He LOVED THEM.... It took me less than 30 minutes to make and serve the entire meal. Thank you Lena imaluckydog

Amazing, isn't it Kathy? Yeah, I was more than a little dubious when I tried Faux-tay-toes the first time too. I was desperate to find some alternative to mashed potatoes for our holiday feasts, so I gave it a (literal) whirl in the food processor.

Surprise! Even my mom, who is the epitome of Southern Belle, pronounced them delicious. I nearly fainted from shock.

I can't wait to share a soup I just discovered! Slurping good! I'll try to type it up tomorrow before I leave for the weekend.

Hi Lena, I am making a split pea soup this afternoon. It has been simmering for about an hour now almost done. Just wanted to know if you had a split pea soup recipe? I am kinda winging it. There is a recipe on the back of the pea package but I did not have all those ingredients. I have only been make my own food these days and I think it has helped my weight loss.
I control the salt, sugar and fats in my recipes. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the quick and easy recipes. imaluckydog kathy

Crock Phillippine Chicken PLUS Chicken Stir Fry

Image
Boy do I love my crock pot, especially for busy days! You will have leftovers from this recipe, so buy a bag of stir fry veggies to have in a couple of days. Don't you just love two meals in one? Notes-- I buy the big jar of already minced garlic. It's a real time-saver! One-half teaspoon equals a clove of garlic done the hard way. Oh, and you are using those cool crock pot liners, right? Ingredients; 6 (or more) chicken thighs 1 small sweet onion, sliced 8 cloves garlic, pressed 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce 1/2 cup white vinegar Remove the skins from the chicken. Place the chicken in the crock pot. In a bowl, combine the onion, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Pour it over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours. Remove the bones, let them cool, and toss them in the trash. You can serve the chicken over rice for those non-dieters. Save the leftover chicken and sauce in the fridge for the stir-fry in a couple of days. 220 calories, 7g carbs. The original version of thi...

The Legend of No Desserts in One-der-Land

Once there was a woman named Alice who fell down a spiraling hole of guilt and shame while following an elusive White Rabbit of Beauty. She discovered a magical place called One-der-land, though at first it seemed a place of madness and horror. I'll occasionally recount (not in chronological order because this is a place of madness, after all, at least to Alice) some of her adventures. Alice landed at the bottom of the Shame Spiral in tears, her body shattered by so many years of abuse, both from within Alice herself and from others, who felt she didn't deserve anything. She wondered if she'd ever be able to get up, but she managed to heave herself erect and walk, still hoping for another glimpse of the beautiful White Rabbit. Alice had to rest often, and had trouble breathing, but the path seemed familiar somehow, as if she'd traveled upon it or at least seen it many times. Her feet swelled, her knees hurt, and upon occasion she considered just lying down at the side...

Crock Beef Italiano

Image
This is so easy, I'm so excited! The original recipe had the roast added last, but my crock wants the meat added first. Remember, read your directions. 1. Mix these in a bowl: 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 T. onion powder 1/2 T. oregano 1/4 T. dried parsley 1/4 T. sugar (Splenda works just as well) 1/4 t. black pepper 1/4 t. basil Dash thyme Dash celery salt 1 16-oz jar pepperocini peppers, drained and sliced (I removed the stems and whirled them in the food processor with the juice, then added the whole thing to the bowl.) 1 (10.5 oz) can low sodium beef broth 2. Put the beef blade roast, trimmed of excess fat, in the bottom of the crock. 3. Pour the bowlful all over the roast. 4. Turn on the crock pot to Low. Walk away for 6-8 hours. Serve with a stir-fry of zucchini and yellow squash or perhaps Faux-tay-toes. Add a big spinach salad. 4 servings, about 1/4 lb each. 158 calories, 13g carbohydrates.   L ena Austin http://www.LenaAustin.com Writing blog: http://depravedduchess.blogsp...
