Recipes.

I'm very lucky. My wife, like Sundrop, cooks like a chef and is just very good with flavours. She follows recipes occasionally but mostly knows what she wants to do and does it. Left to my own devices I would consume the easiest to make gruel in the world, just for sustenance.

Recipes don't need to be complex. I make beef tips and rice regularly and it's easy to cook. I fry the beef tips in a little vegetable oil until browned and no longer raw then put beef tips in crockpot without grease. Pour a jar of beef gravy in pot with one cup water. You can add onions, carrots, celery, too. Cover and cook on high for four hours. They will be tender, just remember to occasionally stir so gravy doesn't clump or stick. Here's a pic from when I made some recently (I poured on mashed potatoes):

I keep forgetting to check for frozen okra at the grocery store or Walmart. But now I'm hungry for fried pickles!

I make a killer pot roast. Don’t know the recipe off hand… it’s taped inside a cupboard door.

FINALLY! No spam stuff

We spent this past several days making jam. We have literally millions of blackberries and we decided to not let the alpacas have them all this year. We like mixed berry jam, though, so we add strawberries. blueberries, raspberries.... We made 8 batches of various mixes of berries. Just berries, sugar and pectin but I have a secret ingredient that puts this jam over the top -- about 1/8 tsp of cinnamon. Oh, and a tablespoon of butter to cut back on the foam.

We're having spam salad for our Labor Day picnic. Everyone loves it... until they ask what's in it.

There is another thread called "Recipes" - not sure if you want to combine the two or not?

Thanks! I knew there was another one somewhere but didn't spend a lot of time looking for it.

p.s. I noted a "Skinny Mac 'n Cheese" recipe I posted previously - spoiler alert - it wasn't as good as the real (full fat) version {not surprisingly}
