Oh, my. Some of these just sound great. I don't eat pork, but I do like the idea of the chicken and the beef :) That beef stew sounds like something I could make in my Crock-pot. And I loved the cobbler and the chicken casserole one. Those sound so wonderful, sweetie. I seriously think you're a great cook and I've never had anything of yours! It's the way you write about it; it's so tender and wonderful. You keep sounding like you make a "Little House On The Prairie" diet; I hearken back to the days that I read the books and drooled over the food in it! It's very down-home and country! :)
Hmm. I like to make . . .
Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. You get a nice beef, cut up some onion, and toss it in the oven - depending on how much it weighs, it normally takes about 3 or 4 hours to totally cook. I'd have to double-check my stove. Then you mix up flour, eggs, and milk together and I think a little cornstarch (now I don't have my recipe in front of me) and then pour it into a muffin tin. It makes about 12 Yorkshires, then you smother them in butter and gravy, and mmmm. I also like to put in some Bovril or beef bouillion to make the gravy. I have it with corn and mashed garlic potatoes :)
I like lemon chicken stirfry. You cut up a bunch of chicken, toss it in the frying pan, and then use frozen vegetables or cut them up yourself. Like snowpeas, broccoli, carrots, etc. I then mix lemon juice, a bit of sugar, water and a little flour and simmer it until it gets thickish, then you put it in the stirfry and stir it around until it thickens some more. It's sooo good over rice :)
I also like kasha - it's Russian oatmeal. The kind I like is called manna kasha - like Cream of Wheat, sort of, but a bit sweeter. You cook it on the stove with about two cups of milk (for two people) and then put jam and butter on it. Mmm, my favourite breakfast!
White wine and cream sauce pasta - cut up veggies, put chicken in if you want, and then combine the wine and the cream and some Parmesan together and cook it all up with the cooked pasta. This one is a nice meal with fresh garlic bread!
I also make what I call Arab salad, but what's actually called tabouleh (tab-oo-lee). You cut up vegetables of your choice (mostly cucumbers and tomatoes), cook cous cous and then combine them with mayonnaise, lemon juice, a bit of Dijon mustard and chickpeas. Then refrigerate and salt and pepper - it's a lovely meal for a hot day.
Chicken salad is also a nice meal. I put green grapes, green apples and almonds in with cut-up cold cooked chicken and celery and the sauce has Dijon mustard, curry, and something else (I'll ask Mom, I made this last summer and I can't remember the recipe offhand). It's my favourite with a nice warm Kaiser bun and a green salad :)
This is fun! I'm so glad we decided to say what our favourites are! *hugs*
