We enjoyed a nice corned beef meal for St. Patty's Day. A good chunk of the corned beef was left. I made hash for breakfast, then sliced thin for sandwiches. I still had 2 pounds of cooked corned beef left. We received collard raab in our final CSA winter box from Boldly Grown Farms. I have cooked enough collard greens to know that apple cider vinegar blends well with them. Ingredients Cooked corned beef, 2 pounds Yellow potatoes, 3 medium Collard raab, 5 to 6 leaves Onion, 1/3 cup diced...
Halibut Potato Patties. This recipe was a matter of deduction. I make potato patties with leftover mashed potatoes. I make salmon patties with cooked salmon. With just enough leftover cooked halibut, I decided to combine two ingredients we both love to eat. Add flavor with fresh green onion. The result was optimal. This uses leftover potatoes and halibut. Ingredients Boiled potatoes, 3 medium or large Cooked halibut, 1 cup Egg, 1 Green onions, 3 chopped Olive oil, 2 tablespoons Butter, 1 tablesp...

Low and slow is my motto for cooking pork. Use a low temperature and roast it for hours. I had a frozen 5.5-pound, bone-in shoulder pork roast. This recipe also includes time and temperature of a thawed pork shoulder roast. The day before, I roasted slices of red cabbage, or, you could sauté cabbage. I also used my homemade red cabbage sauerkraut. They were the perfect combination to nestle the pork roast into. Ingredients Bone-in pork shoulder roast, 5.5 lbs Red cabbage, sliced/roasted or...
Simplicity. Nutritious. I will serve a slice in hot tea. I started out dehydrating lemon slices from an abundance of fresh lemons. One of my friends, Colleen, commented on my endeavors. Her recipe is to add honey to fresh lemon slices. After 10 hours in the dehydrator, my lemon slices were still moist. Last fall I stocked up on honey from the local farm stands. That is enough honey to splurge on a whole pint jar for this recipe. Ingredients Lemons, 6 Honey, 1 pint Preparation Wash the lemons...
My husband, Kevin, and I were recently at a conference in Portland, Oregon. Break times were catered. Something similar to this was served in a break.

Ingredients Raspberries, 6 ounces plus 3 extra berries Honey, 4 teaspoons or 1 tablespoon Vanilla yogurt, 1 cup Preparation Rinse and mash the raspberries. Mix in the honey. I used...
I recently enjoyed Jean Wedin's company over lunch. She began describing her meals. I was all ears as she described this salad dressing.

This is my favorite homemade chili. My husband’s friend, Art Kendall, brought by some venison. The venison burger was half a pound. I adjusted the recipe to this amount of meat. Slow cooking atop the stove blends the flavors. I also go light on any spicy ingredients. I prefer to taste the venison that is complimented by the other ingredients. The canned ingredients are 14.5- or 15-ounce size cans. The canned bean choices are dark red kidney, pinto or chili beans. Ingredients Ground venison, ...
I tried a new product I found at the local grocery store. In the spice section, it was clearly labeled "Salmon Seasoning." It was a good decision. A plus in flavor and it had a familiar photo of Chef Phil Prudhomme, plus the ingredients listed were all natural. I jumped right into my trial baking experiment. In terms of measuring, I sprinkled an even coat of the seasoning over the salmon fillet. Ingredients Salmon fillet Butter, 1 tablespoon Olive oil, 1 teaspoon Salmon seasoning, ¼...

This recipe was inspired by Eddie Gordon. Kevin and I were shopping at Gordon's Pumpkin Farm recently. The fennel was remarkably fresh.

I learned about frying food coated with cornmeal from visiting my sister, Mary Jane, in Arkansas. Eating out in Arkansas and Missouri, we ordered catfish. I enjoyed the crunchy coating of cornmeal on the catfish. There are many ways to coat fish. Flour, egg and bread crumbs. Baking fish is also an option. Baking fish means you can set the timer and walk away from the kitchen for a few minutes. Frying fish means you stay in the kitchen and watch the pan. Looking for the right moment to flip the...
