New recipe I might be trying soon....

 

Bean and Corn Chili.....Crock Pot 

 

2 tablespoons red wine

1/2 teaspoon olive oil

2 medium onions, finely chopped*

5 cloves garlic, minced*

1 green bell pepper, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 stalk celery, finely sliced

6 Roma or Plum Tomatoes, chopped

2 cans KIDNEY BEANS, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth

1 can (6oz) tomato paste

1 cup frozen corn kernels

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander 

 

Heat red wine and olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat until hot.  Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until onions are tender.  Place into a 4 1/2 or 5 quart Crock Pot.

 

Add bell peppers, celery, tomatoes, KIDNEY BEANS, broth, tomato paste, corn, salt, chili powder, pepper, cumin, red pepper, oregano and coriander.  Mix well. Cover and cook on Low 6-8 hours or High 3-4 hours.

 

* As I share this, I am thinking I might go with less onions and garlic....also, DH might say...Where's the Beef? so, I might be adding some ground beef.

 

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... MILK or HALF & HALF

1-2-3- Sugar Cookies

 

Ingredients

1 stick butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour       \
1 teaspoon baking powder      OR use3 C SR Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt                 /

Measure the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl, mix and set aside. 

 

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and the sugar.

 

Once smooth, add the eggs, vanilla and combine well.

 

Add the flour mixture to the butter/egg mixture a little at a time. Mix until the dough is smooth and flour is fully incorporated. 

 

Cover the dough with plastic wrap so that it is touching the surface of the dough.

 

Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Overnight is fine too. If you want to freeze the dough, you can do so at this stage.

 

These cookies roll out well...I also like to just roll the dough into a 'log' and cut them off.

Re: SEPTEMBER 2022 RECIPE GAME

Love your cute post!  Just drop the cookie dough on a non-stick pan and flatten with a glass dipped in sugar for 'quick' cookies.  These are very good, too!

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

 
  • 8 chicken thighs - (skinless and boneless)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  •  cup (110g) honey
  •  cup (80ml) chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce

To Serve:

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • boiled rice

 

  • Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss the chicken in the cornstarch until fully coated.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a high heat.
  • Add the chicken thighs, and cook on one side until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes), then turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then add the garlic and stir together. Turn the heat down to medium so the garlic doesn't burn, then make the sauce.
  • To make the sauce, combine the honey, stock, rice vinegar and light soy sauce in a bowl and stir together.
  • Add the sauce to the pan. Turn the heat up and bring the sauce to the boil, then simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens, and the chicken is cooked through (and no longer pink in the middle).
  • Sprinkle on the chopped parsley and chilli flakes and serve over boiled rice.

Next ingredient: pumpkin spice blend

Place torn or cubed bread pieces in butteted 9x13 baking dish, uncovered, to create stale bread.

2 TBS vanilla extract (or to your taste)
1½ tsp PUMPKIN PIE SPICE mix [B-nut casserole spices= cinnamon--grated nutmeg-ginger]
2 cups milk (any milk works)

Combine everything together w/ mixer.  Pour mixture all over bread.  Push mixture down w/spatula for a min or so to help liquid soak into bread.  Whle waiting at least 30-45 min before placing in oven, make strusel/crumb topping.

 

Strudel Topping:
1 stick cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar

Use fork, pastry cutter or hands to blend ingredients to sand-like consistency.  Sprinkle crumble over French toast mixture.  Can also sprinkle on pecans/other choice of nut or raisins, if desired.

 

Bake at 350°, UNcoveted, for ~1 hour (check your oven for status of doneness).

Cut in rectangles/squares; serve plain or with drizzles of maple syrup, powdered sugar, etc.
