Seafood Pasta

Advertisements

Seafood is always a nice treat. Seafood is somewhat available where I live, but it’s not always fresh or terribly affordable. For that reason I find flash frozen seafood to be both affordable and just as good in quality as fresh. Seafood goes great with oil, that’s what there are so many recipes for seafood with an oil and butter sauce. This tilapia and shrimp also have a very light flavor, so adding chives adds a nice flavor that might get lost if you choose a stronger fish like salmon.This recipe takes only as long as it takes to cook your noodles. The tilapia cooks up very fast and the shrimp, if frozen and pre-cooked, only takes about a minute to cook before you’ll have to start worrying about over cooking. This recipe made 4 Adult sized servings.

Ground Beef Pot Stickers

Advertisements

Homemade pot stickers/dumplings are delicious. Sometimes homemade isn’t always worth the effort for just a few dumplings, but dumplings are much cheaper to make than to buy frozen. In the same way, it is also unnecessary to make homemade dumpling wrappers, but not everyone has a stack of wrappers in their freezer. This was my second time making homemade dumplings. Last time I made Pork Dumplings and they were delicious. This beef dumpling recipe is just as good. The flavorful filling is my favorite part of this dish, and the taste paired with the dipping sauce makes this dish even more savory and flavorful.

This recipe makes 10 dumplings, making 3 servings of food. I’m still not very good at making these pot stickers. We tried both pan crisped and boiled, and pan crisped were far superior with the crisp bottom being a huge highlight. Once the dumplings get added to the water, you cannot touch them until you’re sure the bottoms are crisp enough. This is tough because you’ll feel really nervous that the bottoms are burning, but they don’t really burn. One way to tell when they are fully crisp is when the starch web on the bottom of the pan is a crisp sheet. If you try to remove them too early, you will likely tear your dumplings, so patience is worth it. For this, I also recommend a non-stick pan.

  • 1/3 Cup Water
  • 1/2 lb Ground Beef/Venison
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil, Divided
  • 1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Chives
  • 1/2 Tbsp Ginger
  • 1/2 Cup Soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Garlic
  • Frying Pan
  • Lid
  • Water

Directions

1. Slowly add the water to the flour until a supple dough is formed. You may not need all the water. Once dough is hydrated, but not sticky, divide into 10 portions. In a bowl, mix together meat, half the sesame oil, the oyster sauce, chives, and ginger. Place 1-2 Tbsp of mixture on the homemade wrappers and seal.

2. Fill a frying pan 1/2 with water, and add the dumplings leaving space so they don’t touch. Place over medium high heat and cover. Cook until all water evaporates. Remove the lid and cook until the bottom of the dumplings are crisp. Break free from bottom of the pan, and plate. Mix together soy sauce, remaining sesame oil, and garlic, and serve as dipping sauce.

Homemade White Bread

I love this white bred recipe! I make this bread all the time for ourselves and as gifts for family and friends. This bread does slice well for sandwiches, but I really enjoy it as is, with butter, or as french toast. Sweet but not too sweet, this bread is a real treat. This recipe makes 2 loafs, and this bread is good frozen for 6 months.

Apple Crisp

Advertisements

Apple Crisp is an easy dessert and tastes amazing along with some vanilla ice cream. I’ve made apple crisp several times and I find that every time it’s to use up all the extra apples I have. We buy from a local farmer who likes to sell in bulk, so we end up buying in bulk! If apple crisp can’t use up your apples, apple sauce can, or even an apple cake. I didn’t get any picture of this apple crisp finished baking since I served it at for an after church lunch, however, it was a big hit and tasted great. This recipe makes 6-8 adult sized servings. How long your apple crisp lasts will depend on the state of your apples. I made this apple crisp when my apples were very close to bad, so it only lasted about 5 days, but for fresh and firmer apples you will get 7-10 days.

French Scrambled Eggs

French scrambled eggs are light, and fluffy, yet also incredibly rich and decadent. These eggs will be a moist when served, but that just shows you did it right. These can be made in less than 5 minutes and are an easy and delicious way to start your day. The goal of this process is to fully cook the eggs without losing the moisture where the eggs become too firm. You can also make this recipe with just egg whites, or water in place of milk. You could also add other ingredients to the egg mixture if you would like, such as cheese, chives, or steak pieces, just to name a few! This recipe makes one quick serving. Serve with ketchup if desired.
