Southern Chicken Fried Steak

1 pound round steak, cut in 4 pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
hot shortening or oil for shallow frying

If steak has not been tenderized when you buy it, pound each piece slightly 
with a heavy plate or a kitchen mallet. Add salt and pepper to flour in a 
shallow pan and stir to mix. Beat egg well, add milk, and beat again. Heat 
shortening in a heavy skillet. Roll each piece of steak in the seasoned flour 
then dip in egg and milk mixture. Roll in flour again and fry at once in hot 
shortening to a light brown. Drain on paper towels and keep warm while making 
Cream Gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. Serves 4.

Cream Gravy
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup minced scallions
1 cup milk
1/2 cup half and half
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper to taste

In the skillet in which you cooked the steaks, melt the 2 tablespoons butter 
until foamy. Add the 1/2 cup minced scallions and cook, stirring, for 2 
minutes. In a bowl, stir together the 1 cup milk, the 1/2 cup cream, and the 2 
tablespoons flour. Add the mixture to the skillet, bring to a boil, stirring, 
and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
Cream gravy is supposed to be thick. If it gets too thick, add more milk.

Un-cooked flour tortillas

2 large chicken breasts cooked and shredded

3 to 4 oz diced green chiles (or more to taste)

½ med onion chopped

Grated cheddar cheese

Directions

Boil chicken in broth about 10 min or until cooked through.

While tortillas are still warm, place about 3 or 4 tablespoons of chicken mix

off to one side and roll up.  Place seam side down in a Pam sprayed casserole 
dish.

When all enchiladas are made, spray lightly with Pam.

another 20 min or until bubbly.

Spread more grated cheese on top and heat just long enough to melt cheese.

Heavenly Lemon Cake 



1 box white cake mix
1 can lemon supreme frosting
12 ounces Cool Whip
1 can lemon pie filling 


Mix cake according to box directions. Spread in a 9x13 pan. Put a dab (heaping 
teaspoon) of lemon pie filling all over top of raw cake - about 15 or 20 dabs. 
Place in a 350 oven and bake according to box directions. Remove from oven when 
springs back to touch and let cool.
Mix lemon supreme frosting and Cool Whip together. Spread over cooled cake. 
Refrigerate immediately. Such a delightful, surprising cake. Very refreshing.

NOTE: You will have enough pie filling and frosting for two cakes, so it is 
prudent to buy two cake mixes. This cake also freezes.

[RecipesAndMore] Cajun Blackened Fish or Chicken

2008-02-17 Thread Janet In Iowa
Cajun Blackened Fish or Chicken

Ingredients and Equipment:

Fish fillets or chicken parts
Cajun spice mix (recipe follows)
Large cast-iron skillet

Cajun Spice mix:

  5 tsp  paprika
  1 tsp  ground dried oregano
  1 tsp  ground dried thyme
  1 tsp  cayenne powder (more to taste)
1/2 tsp  finely ground black pepper
1/2 tsp  finely ground white pepper
1/2 tsp  garlic powder (optional)

Mix spices very well, and store in an air-tight container.  Or, use
a commercial Cajun spice mix such as Paul Prudhomme's.

To prepare fish fillets: 
(such as redfish, grouper, mahi, snapper, rockfish, etc.)

Rinse fillets and pat mostly dry with paper towel.  Leave slightly
damp, as this moisture is going to adhere the spice paste to the fish.
Coat fillets with spice paste.  Coat skillet with small amount of canola
or other high-heat oil, or oil spray (can be omitted, with slight risk
of sticking depending on condition of skillet).  Get the skillet good
and hot, oil should be starting to smoke.  Arrange fillets in skillet.
Turn when half-done.  Cooking time will depend on heat, and thickness of
fillets - a minute on each side would be enough for typical rockfish
("Pacific red snapper") fillets.  You want the spice coating not
to be fully black - just darkened.  Serve with lemon or lime wedges.

To prepare chicken parts:

Skin parts, and remove excess fat.  Rinse and pat mostly dry.  Coat
with spice paste.  Arrange in hot skillet.  Cook 5 minutes on each side,
or until spice paste darkens up.  Lower heat and continue cooking until
done (juice should run clear, not pink, if a thick piece is pierced
deeply with a knifetip), or finish in a 350 degree oven.

 Love & Hugs,,Janet

[RecipesAndMore] Chicken Stew, New Orleans Style

2008-02-17 Thread Janet In Iowa
Chicken Stew, New Orleans Style
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
  1  bunch of scallions, 6 to 8
  2  ribs celery
  1  large red bell pepper
  4  skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup  flour
  1 tsp  thyme
1/8 tsp  cayenne pepper
  2 Tbsp butter
  1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  3  cloves garlic, minced or crushed through a press
  1 can  (14 oz) stewed tomatoes with their juice (or diced tomatoes)
1/4 cup  chicken broth
  3 drop hot pepper sauce
  1  bay leaf
1/4 lb   kielbasa or other precooked garlic sausage

1)  Coarsely chop the scallions.  Dice the celery and bell pepper.  Cut
the chicken into bite sized pieces

2)  In a plastic bag, combine flour, thyme and cayenne, and shake to
mix.  Add chicken and shake to coat lightly.  Remove chicken and
reserve excess flour mixture.

3)  In a large skillet, warm 1 Tbsp. of the butter in the oil over
medium high heat until the butter is melted.  Add the chicken and 
cook until it is browned all over, about 7 min.  Remove chicken to 
a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.

4)  Add 1 remaining Tbsp. butter to the skillet and heat until melted.
Add the garlic and the reserved dredging mixture.  Cook, stirring,
until the flour is no longer visible, about 1 min.

5)  Add tomatoes and their juice, the chicken broth, scallions, celery,
bell pepper, hot pepper sauce and bay leaf, and bring to a boil over
medium-heat.  Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring
occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 min.

6)  Meanwhile, dice the sausage.

7)  Return the stew to a boil over medium-high heat.  Return the chicken
(and any juices that have accumulated on the plate) to the skillet
along with the sausage, and heat until the chicken is cooked through,
about 3 min.  Remove the bay leaf before serving.

A few notes:  As can be seen above, this isn't a light, heart healthy
kind of meal.  I don't really know how to fix that other than getting
rid of the kielbasa which takes a lot away from the taste.  I tend to
add more seasoning in the form of both hot pepper sauce and paprika and
I tend to cook it a bit longer on the last stage for a better mix of
flavor.

Hey ya'll
I'm back up and running again.
Computer modem fried again.
Also been in Iowa City with Ashlee. Took her back for her Xrays since having

cleft team has to meet and discuss the next step. I will call over there Monday 
afternoon or Tues and see what they have to say. Doctor Canady said that 
looking at them yesterday they looked good to him but the orthodonist has to 
look at them now.

a food processor and process until finely ground.) Transfer to a large bowl, 
cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

To test the seasoning, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet, and cook about 2 
teaspoons of the mixture. Adjust seasoning, to taste. 

Using the sausage attachment on a mixer, stuff the meat into the casings, if 
being used. Twist and tie off to make 4-inch sausages. Alternately, shape into 
patties.

Preheat a home smoker to 250 degrees F. Smoke the sausage for 11/2 hours. 
Remove from the smoker and use as desired.

[RecipesAndMore] SIMPLE CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

2008-02-04 Thread Janet In Iowa
SIMPLE CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Perhaps the simplest of the gumbos, but a hearty one and a
classic combination. If you can't find andouille, use a local
smoked sausage or kielbasa or whatever smoked sausage you like.
This one's easy to knock off quickly for a great evening's meal.

1 cup oil
1 cup flour
2 large onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
4 ribs celery, chopped
4- 6 cloves garlic, minced
4 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large chicken (young hen preferred), cut into pieces
2 pounds andouille or smoked sausage, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 bunch scallions (green onions), tops only, chopped
2/3 cup fresh chopped parsley

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and
brown quickly. Brown the sausage, pour off fat and reserve
meats. In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in
the oil over medium to high heat (depending on your roux-making
skill), stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a dark
reddish-brown color, almost the color of coffee or milk
chocolate for a Cajun-style roux. If you want to save time, or
prefer a more New Orleans-style roux, cook it to a medium,
peanut-butter color, over lower heat if you're nervous about
burning it. Add the vegetables and stir quickly. This cooks the
vegetables and also stops the roux from cooking further.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes. Add
the stock, seasonings, chicken and sausage. Bring to a boil,
then cook for about one hour, skimming fat off the top as
needed. Add the chopped scallion tops and parsley, and heat for
5 minutes. Serve over rice in large shallow bowls.

2008-02-04 Thread Janet In Iowa
Fish Buying Tips 

Fish meat should be firm, not soft or mushy. Fish eyes should be shiny and 
protrude from the fish. If they are dull or sunken, the fish should be avoided. 
The fish should smell fresh and not overly fishy or musty. The skin should have 
a nice sheen and the scales should not be coming off.

2008-02-03 Thread Janet In Iowa
Chicken-Fried Cube Steaks

Here in the Ozarks, country-fried steak is a staple. These are wonderful
served with mashed potatoes and some freshly baked rolls. I developed
the recipe to meet the spicy tastes of my family - our six children
range from 26 to 14. -Toni Holcomb, Rogersville, Missouri

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons white pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups buttermilk
2 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk
8 beef cube steaks (4 ounces each)
Oil for frying
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot pepper sauce

Directions:
In a shallow bowl, combine 2 cups flour and seasonings; set aside. In
another bowl, combine buttermilk and evaporated milk. Remove 3-1/2 cups
for gravy and set aside. Dip cube steaks into buttermilk mixture, then
into flour mixture, coating well. Repeat.
In a skillet, heat 1/2 in. of oil on high. Fry steaks, a few at a
time, for 5-7 minutes. Turn carefully and cook 5 minutes longer or until
coating is crisp and met is no longer pink. Remove steaks and keep warm.
Drain, reserving 1/3 cup drippings in the skillet; stir remaining
flour into drippings until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5
minutes or until golden brown. Whisk in reserved buttermilk mixture;
bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce
and hot pepper sauce. Serve with steaks. Yield: 8 servings (4 cups
gravy).

3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground sage

hour or overnight in refrigerator.
Combine coating ingredients in double strength paper bag and shake
chicken pieces, one at a time, to coat well. Lay coated pieces on waxed
paper for 15 minutes to allow coating to dry (will cling better in
frying).
Meanwhile pour oil to depth of 1/2 in. in electric skillet and heat
to 350°-360°. Fry chicken, several pieces at a time, for about 3
minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcrowd. Reduce heat to
325°; cook chicken, turning occasionally, for 25-35 minutes or until
juices run clear and chicken is tender. Remove to paper towel-lined
platter. Yield: 4 servings.

[RecipesAndMore] Before you say an unkind word -

2008-02-03 Thread Janet In Iowa
Before you say an unkind word - 
Think of someone who can't speak. 

Before you complain about the taste of your food - 
Think of someone who has nothing to eat. 

Today before you complain about life - 
Think of someone who went too early to heaven. 

Before you complain about your children - 
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren. 

Before you complain about your dirty house needing cleaning -
Think of the people who are living in the streets. 

Before whining about the distance you drive - 
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. 

And when you are tired and complain about your job - 
Think of the unemployed, disabled, and others who wish they had your job. 

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - 
Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you're still around. 


The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; 
They just make the best of everything they have.
