My sweet mam-ma made the BEST chocolate pie. We used to request it at every holiday dinner or family gathering and it was a fight to see who could eat the most. I have never tried to make it until this weekend. It tasted good but I have a long way to go on being able to make a good meringue. I don't know what the secret it is but I hope one day I can get mine to fluff up like hers always did.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Pie filling: <br />
Frozen or refrigerated pie crust<br />
1 3/4 cup sugar<br />
3 tbsp cornstarch<br />
3-4 tbsp cocoa<br />
1 1/2 cups milk<br />
4 egg yolks<br />
1 tbsp vanilla<br />
2 tbsp butter<br />
<br />
Meringue:<br />
4 egg whites<br />
1/2 cup sugar<br />
6-8 large marshmallows<br />
<br />
Bake pie crust according to directions. Mix first 3 ingredients. Beat 4 egg yolks and save the whites. Sprinkle salt on eggs. Add milk in eggs. Add to dry and cook on stove top - stir until thick. Add vanilla and butter.<br />
Pour in pie crust when done.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Take egg whites and beat until stiff. Take sugar and a "tad" of water and boil until it makes a syrup. Add marshmallows and melt. Add to egg whites already beat. Add on top of pie.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962409524106496122noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761427333413988227.post-84066279694200233602010-10-07T12:10:00.000-07:002010-10-10T07:58:50.723-07:00Taco Soup and Garlic cheese biscuits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/TK4bGYFOoCI/AAAAAAAALwM/JxEaI_-DT1E/s1600/IMG_7021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/TK4bGYFOoCI/AAAAAAAALwM/JxEaI_-DT1E/s400/IMG_7021.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Last night I made Taco Soup for dinner. Scott's not a big soup fan so I rarely make soup but we both REALLY liked it. I'll be making this a LOT this winter! It's easy and very filling! And YUM!<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 lbs ground beef<br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
1 14.5 oz can whole kernel corn<br />
2 16 oz cans of ranch style beans (I only used one can because I'm not a bean lover & it was fine)<br />
* Maybe not everywhere but I know here - you find cans at the grocery store of ranch style beans. If you don't have those - substitute pinto or black or whatever you like. <br />
3 cans of diced tomatos (maybe substitute 1 can rotel if you like spicy) (I got the garlic/onion kind and I think it gave it great flavor)<br />
1 pkg taco seasoning<br />
1 pkg Hidden Valley dressing mix<br />
<br />
Brown and drain meat. Saute onions for a few minutes. Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Add chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 1-2 hours. I topped it with shredded cheese!<br />
<br />
<br />
Garlic Cheese Biscuits<br />
<br />
2 1/4 cups bisquick<br />
2/3 cup milk<br />
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese<br />
1 tsp garlic salt<br />
<br />
<br />
Combine ingredients and make drop biscuits by just dropping spoonfuls on a sprayed pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Such a great side!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962409524106496122noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761427333413988227.post-34856466142147852872010-09-08T10:20:00.000-07:002010-09-08T10:34:27.849-07:00Chicken Chow Mein<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/TIfJEDYoJRI/AAAAAAAALnc/GvNn863zgCQ/s1600/IMG_6724.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/TIfJEDYoJRI/AAAAAAAALnc/GvNn863zgCQ/s400/IMG_6724.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514597340203722002" border="0" /></a><br />When I was in college - I would spend a lot of weekends with my grandparents and every time my mam-ma would make me chicken chow mein and her famous chocolate pie. I haven't had that in probably 15 years and all the sudden it's all I can think about. I have been craving it for weeks. My mam-ma passed away several years ago and neither my mom or I could find the recipe but we think this is pretty close.<br /><br />2 or 3 chicken breasts<br />1 carrot<br />1 celery stalk<br />1 diced red pepper<br />1 4 oz can of sliced mushrooms (or fresh mushrooms)<br />1 can water chesnuts<br />1 can baby corn (I used half the can)<br />1 can bamboo shoots<br />Sesame Seed Oil<br />Soy Sauce<br />Chow mein noodles or white rice<br /><br />Boil the chicken breasts. Save the chicken broth. In a large pan - put a tbsp or two of sesame seed oil over medium heat and saute all the vegetables for 10 minutes or so. Cut the chicken into small pieces and add in. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and soy sauce to taste (I added quite a bit). Leave on medium heat and cook another 10 minutes or so. Serve over chow mein noodles. (or white rice if you prefer).Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962409524106496122noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761427333413988227.post-72025849035610607392010-08-23T10:59:00.000-07:002010-09-08T10:30:25.533-07:00Roast<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/THK3Dpa26KI/AAAAAAAALg8/jNeOi6G475A/s1600/IMG_3531.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/THK3Dpa26KI/AAAAAAAALg8/jNeOi6G475A/s400/IMG_3531.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508666567513532578" border="0" /></a><br />One of my favorite meals and biggest comfort foods is roast, carrots and potatos. I've been making this for the last 15 years and I don't have a specific recipe - I am always changing and evolving how I make it in search of the perfect one!<br /><br />The way I have made it recently that has turned out really great is :<br /><br />I use rump roast - I heard that it's the most tender and it really is. It's never tough. I also use the small red potatos. And the small carrots.<br /><br />I put all of that in the crockpot with a package (or two) of dry onion soup mix. Instead of water - I use beef broth to fill it up. You could dilute it with some water if that seems too salty.<br /><br />I cook it for around 8 hours on low. This results in tender meat also!<br /><br />You get a very moist roast with GREAT flavor.<br /><br />In the past I used cream of mushroom soup but I like it this way much better.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962409524106496122noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761427333413988227.post-7359364788095686382010-07-21T17:32:00.000-07:002010-09-08T10:30:37.736-07:00Okra and Tomatos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/TEeRtvBeEqI/AAAAAAAALWE/lA4rcpi-CLc/s1600/IMG_6046.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/TEeRtvBeEqI/AAAAAAAALWE/lA4rcpi-CLc/s400/IMG_6046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496522085131752098" border="0" /></a>I love okra - so I found this recipe and tried it out and it was really good!

Sprinkle evenly with parsley.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962409524106496122noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761427333413988227.post-86468788413311145752010-02-09T11:41:00.000-08:002010-02-09T11:44:46.779-08:00Guacamole<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/S3G6YTjfc9I/AAAAAAAAJrU/a_pY3UMkGSU/s1600-h/20100209_2776.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/S3G6YTjfc9I/AAAAAAAAJrU/a_pY3UMkGSU/s400/20100209_2776.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436331151941661650" /></a>I am OBSESSED with Guacamole!

Trim the rind from the cheese and cut it into 2 thick sticks. </p> <p class="instructions">Wrap each stick with a slice of prosciutto and place in the center of each flattened chicken breast. Roll the chicken breast around the prosciutto and cheese to make a sausage shape and secure with toothpicks or butcher's twine. Season the rolls with salt and pepper. </p> <p class="instructions">Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy skillet. Quickly brown the chicken rolls over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low, and scatter the mushrooms into the pan, sprinkle with wine and rosemary. Cook, turning the chicken rolls frequently, 10 to 15 minutes. </p> <p class="instructions">When the first bit of cheese begins to seep out, the chicken is done. Remove it from the pan to a cutting board at once. Cut each of the rolls at an angle into 6 slices. Cover to keep warm. Reheat the pan juices, swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. </p> <p class="instructions">To serve arrange the chicken and mushrooms on a bed of arugula leaves tossed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Warm the pan juices and strain them over the chicken. </p>Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962409524106496122noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761427333413988227.post-54909311072442844302010-02-09T08:09:00.000-08:002010-02-09T11:40:44.236-08:00Cheese and Pesto layer dip<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/S3G6Lj9_15I/AAAAAAAAJrE/dj2PlKbUEbY/s1600-h/20100116_Harper%27s_1st_Birthday_1908.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gn_1B44z5zc/S3G6Lj9_15I/AAAAAAAAJrE/dj2PlKbUEbY/s400/20100116_Harper%27s_1st_Birthday_1908.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436330933009504146" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I found<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> this recipe by Paula Deen and used it at Harper's birthday party.

Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly.
