Re: [CnD] So sorry everyone!

2011-10-02 Thread Shannon Wells
I'm different. I agree with Steve. If I see more than 5 recipes of the same 
thing, I might look at them all, but usually I delete the ones in the middle, 
cause I got too much going on to sit and go through recipes I do not need. Then 
again, I will say I like lots to choose from, just not all at once. I am a 
crocheter, but I'm picky about patterns I get, cause I only keep the ones I 
know I am going to make. The same goes for recipes. I only keep what I know I 
will fix, not ones I might. I love this list, though. The tips are wonderful, 
and it keeps me motivated knowing there are many others who cook without sight.

 I do it when I watch baseball or football just as someone would knit or

 Hi everyone, sorry I sent so many recipes at once.  It was just that I was 
 going through my recipe file which has over 2,000 recipes in it.  They are 
 all in alphabetical order because I have never had time to categorize them.  
 In any case, I just kept seeing meat loaf recipes and thought it would be

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) In a large bowl, combine
sliced peaches with juice, 2 tablespoons melted butter, a pinch of cinnamon
and
a pinch of nutmeg. Dissolve cornstarch in water, then stir into peach
mixture; set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine milk, sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Beat
until smooth - mixture will be thin.

It does something to the can's edges which don't make them sharp.

[CnD] Turkey Enchilada Casserole

2011-10-02 Thread Sugar
Turkey Enchilada Casserole

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano leaves or 1 tablespoon dried
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salad oil
1 can (29 oz.) red enchilada sauce
Salt
12 corn tortillas (6 in. wide)
2 cups shredded reduced-fat jack cheese (8 oz.)
Chopped fresh cilantro

In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, stir turkey, onion, garlic, 
oregano, and cumin in oil until turkey is crumbly and no longer pink, 
about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup enchilada sauce. Add salt to taste.

Meanwhile, cut tortillas in half. Arrange a fourth of the halves evenly 
over the bottom of a shallow 3-quart casserole, overlapping to fit. 
Sprinkle a fourth of the cheese evenly over the tortillas, then top with 
a third of the turkey mixture and a fourth of the remaining enchilada 
sauce, spreading each level. Repeat to make two more layers of 
tortillas, cheese, turkey mixture, and sauce; top with another layer of 
tortillas and sauce, then cheese.

Bake in a 425F regular or convection oven until cheese is melted and 
casserole is hot in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped 
cilantro. Makes 10 servings.

We have used electric ones but find out they either don't last or we have 
problems with the small or odd shaped cans.  I think we will try manual for 
a while. Has anyone else had problems with the small cans?

 The one I have is called the one touch can opener and works great. It's
 battery operated and you just place it on the top of a can and push a
 button. It takes the top off, leaving no sharp edges and is very small. It
 is easy to find on line or at stores like Target.

 I like my manual can opener because it is pretty easy to use and it and it
 it doesn't take up a lot of space.

 Hi Becky. Thanks for confirming that with me. I went out and got a good
 set
 of measuring cups and spoons yesterday and a set of wooden spoons, all
 from
 Wal-mart. The measuring cups have a little pouring spout on the side
 which I
 think will come in handy. I never thought of Olive oil on the grill
 before
 cooking meat, thanks for reminding me. Now that I am pretty much set up
 for
 utensils, I have to get some basic cooking/food items in here. I guess a
 good start is of course, salt and pepper, olive oil and flour. I have a
 good
 selection of spices that my friend got me but none of it is labeled for
 me
 to use. I will have to do that and will more than likely use my pen
 friend
 for that task. Do any of you have any other suggestions for other 
 basics?

 Jay

 Hello there, it seems like u have most of the right stuff to work work
 with
 in the kitchen.
 Steaks are pretty good on the George formon grill. I usually cook them
 for
 12 to 14 minutes but I spread a little bit of olive oil on the grill
 before
 cooking the steaks so they won't  come out dry. I like to marinate them
 a
 Hours before cooking them, sometimes even the previous night..
 Zucchinis and baby carrots are also good on the grill. I season them 
 with
 blac pepper and seasoning salt.
 Take care and don't get discouraged.beffewthe ni from my iPhone

Re: [CnD] Fried Eggs

2011-10-02 Thread Jennifer Chambers
Tara, you will need to experiment a bit to get the eggs the way you
like them, but here is how I do fried eggs.  I like mine with the
whites set, and the yolks Goldilocks style, which is to say, not too
runny, not too hard, but just right.  Smile.  Either spray a pan
well with cooking spray, or melt a teaspoon or two butter.  Break the
eggs into the pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper and onion powder.
Cover the pan and turn heat to medium.  Push the bread down in the
toaster.  When you hear the eggs start to sizzle, leave them for about
twenty seconds, then turn off the stove.  Let them stand, covered, in
the pan while you butter your toast.  Then tilt the pan onto your
plate, and the eggs should slide right out.  If your toaster takes its
sweet time toasting, you may want to uncover the frying pan a minute
or so after turning off the stove.  As I said, you'll need to
experiment to figure out the correct timing.  Doing it with the pan
covered means that you will have eggs-over-easy without having to turn
them over.  hth.

Re: [CnD] recipes for singles

2011-10-02 Thread Jennifer Chambers
Jay, two easy things to do are steaks and lamb chops.  You can take
them straight from the freezer; no need to thaw before putting them in
the oven.  Take two sheets of foil and line a 9-inch by 13-inch cake
pan with them.  Spray the foil with Pam cooking spray, or other
cooking spray of your choice.  Place steaks or lamb chops on the foil.
 When sprinkling on seasonings, sprinkle just enough to coat the
surface of the meat.  I use Spike or seasoned salt, seasoned pepper,
onion powder, a little garlic powder, and McCormick's Grillmate
Smokehouse Maple seasoning.  Turn the meat over, and sprinkle that
side with the seasonings.

Place the pan, uncovered, in a 400-degree oven, (no need to preheat),
and cook on one side for 20 minutes.  Take the pan from the oven, lift
the meat with a fork and turn over.  If desired, after turning it
over, add your favorite barbecue sauce.  Place back in the oven and
continue cooking for 20 additional minut.  If you have thawed the
meat, cook about 17 or 18 minutes per side.

When it's done cooking, turn off the oven and let stand in the oven
while you fix your vegetables.  Letting it stand for about 10 minutes
allows it to reabsorb the juices, and it becomes quite a juicy steak
or lamb chop.
