Happy Thanksgiving 2017

I hope everyone was able to spend their day with friends and family!

We certainly did. The yearly pilgrimage to my aunt & uncles with food in tow!
It was wonderful, it was one of those alternative years where we got most everyone who has to make the rounds with in laws.

So many different personalities meshing, no arguing, just enjoying.
Football and food comas.

Once again, we had way too much food, but, leftovers are always welcome!

This year I made

Deviled Eggs
Mashed Potato
Creamed Spinach and Mushrooms
Corn Casserole (in the interest of full disclosure, the girl child took this over this year!)
Pecan Pie
Key Lime Pie


What did you make?
What happened to make this year memorable?

Lisa's Beef Stew

I have lots of friends named Lisa. Seriously, sometimes there can be 6 of them in the same room!!
Craziness I tell ya!

One Lisa gave me this recipe for her beef stew.
I have my own that we are partial to, but always willing to try a new one!

I was laughing at myself while making this because she obviously typed it as she was trying to remember it all. There would be ingredients listed in the directions that were not in the ingredients list. So, my pictures are a little whacked, but it's all good!

This recipe makes a LOT of stew! We ate it for two meals, I brought it for lunch two days, and I have another couple of servings in the freezer!

Ingredients:

3 ½ Lb stew beef

5 Cloves garlic (crushed)

4-5 Medium onions (quartered)

2 Lbs carrots (chopped into large pieces)

6 Medium potato

2 Tsp salt

1 Tsp sugar

1 ½ Tsp pepper

½ Tsp paprika

3 Tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 Bay leaves

Dash of tabasco

Dash of lemon juice

1 Cup flour

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Brown stew beef in a large pot with vegetable oil for about 20 minutes

2. Add 4 cups boiling water, spices (minus lemon), garlic, and 1 onion

3. Simmer (covered) for 1 hour

4. Add carrots, potato, and rest of onions

5. Simmer another hour

6. Add lemon during the last 15 minutes of cooking

7. To thicken, shake 1 cup flour with 1 ⅓ cup cold water until there are no lumps. Slowly add to stew.

She forgot to tell me about the oil needed to brown the beef

Then I paperclipped over where it said to use potato!

Mediterranean Feta Egg Scramble

I love me some feta cheese.
I eat it plain as a snack, love it in dips, adore it on salads...and melt when it's used as a pizza topping.

Fortunately, the people I share my life with feel the same way. None of us will ever turn our noses up at something that includes feta cheese.

When I saw this recipe on Our Best Bites, I knew it would be a favorite! Whipped it up quick one Sunday morning and hubby and I ate every bite in our bowls.
There is still a serving on the stove.
Just sitting there, waiting.

My snoozy girl child has yet to wake up and join us.
It would be in her best interest to do it soon...I might be feeling a smidge hungry again!

Ingredients:

6 Eggs

¼ Cup sour cream

¼ Tsp salt

Cracked black pepper to taste

¼ Tsp garlic powder

½ Tsp dry basil

½ Tsp dry oregano

¾ Cup crumbled feta cheese

2 Tbsp diced roasted red peppers

2 Tbsp minced green onions

1 Tbsp butter

Directions:

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat

2. Whisk eggs,sour cream, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and garlic powder together

3. Gently fold in feta cheese

4. Add butter to heated pan

5. Add eggs to pan and stir

6. Add in red peppers and green onion

7. Cook eggs until cooked through

Scalloped Sweet Potato

Hubby and I were sitting around one day (or night, whatever) watching the Food Network. Bobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction was on, and he was making hasselback sweet potato.

I was bringing a potato side dish to a family function, and thought that would make for a nice change of pace.
Though, there were going to be so many of us, I knew there was no way I could do enough hasselback style. It would have either been overwhelming, or a waste.

I sliced the potato thin and layered them with the butter mixture to create a scalloped potato version.

As discussed in another post, I have yet to ever try a sweet potato.
So...general consensus is that this is sweet and delicious.
The majority have spoken!

Ingredients:

3 Large sweet potato (peeled and sliced thin)

1 ½ Sticks unsalted butter (softened)

3 Tbsp molasses

1 Tbsp cilantro

1 Tsp orange zest

⅛ Tsp nutmeg

Salt and Pepper

½ Cup rum

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. Spray casserole dish with cooking spray

3. Mix all ingredients (except potato)

4. Layer butter, potato, butter, potato until all is used

5. Cook for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork
