yAy! remember to do each one in a different post, so that it gets linked alone :)
 
I picked up some Spiced Apple Chicken Sausage at the grocery store yesterday because it sounded yummy. I dont want to make a stuffing, sausage sandwich or just grill it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to incorporate it into a full meal :)
 
^make potato soup with it. i will find my recipe after class this evening.
 
Egg Salad

6 hard boiled eggs (peeled & chopped)
1/2 - 3/4 c sour cream (or plain yogurt)
1/4 diced onion
2 teaspoon dijon mustard (or mustard of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon dill
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika (not entirely necessary)
salt and pepper to taste

Tastes awesome on fresh focaccia.
 
Chanfana (a Portuguese lamb casserole)
(Very easy!!! Fantastic winter warmer food)

Ingredients:
1 whole forequarter of lamb, cut up into chunks by your butcher (still on the bone)
dried bay leaves
a few cloves of garlic, chopped roughly
2 brown onions, diced roughly
white pepper
paprika
salt
1 large sprig of continental parsley
a dash of olive oil
a whole bottle of dark-coloured red wine e.g. shiraz

Method:
In a large casserole dish, put the chopped onions and some of the bay leaves and chopped garlic in the bottom, and sprinkle some white pepper, paprika and salt.
Place a layer of lamb chunks.
Repeat the sprinkling of white pepper, paprika and salt, and add some more of the bay leaves and chopped garlic.
Add another layer of lamb chunks.
Repeat again the sprinkling of white pepper, paprika and salt, and add some more of the bay leaves and chopped garlic.
Continue until the dish is full.
Pour in the bottle of wine.
Cover with some aluminium foil and let the meat marinade for at least 4 hours.
About 1/2 hour before putting the dish in the oven, preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celcius (for a fan-forced oven).
Before you cook the casserole, put in the sprig of parsley and a dash of olive oil, and top up with more wine if necessary. Cover again with aluminium foil.
Place the casserole dish in the oven and cook at 220 degrees C for 45 minutes.
Reduce the temperature to 180 degrees C and cook for another 2 hours.
Serve with some roast potatoes or rice or mashed potato, and red wine of course =D

(This recipe is so easy we don't even have it written down! The meat comes out SOOO tender and juicy, it's awesome. And also, don't worry about the alcohol in the recipe making you drunk because it is all cooked off in the oven. Only the alcohol you DRINK will make you drunk ;))
 
Easy Potato Soup
Last week i had a last min notice to inform that a friend is coming by for dinner. Got a bit panic as i did not have much ingredients and definitely not enough time to boil the conventional type of Chinese soup.

Suddenly i remembered my friend once shared with me on this recipe which i have yet to try out....... The result?? Good!

Surprisingly, the soup came out to be some sort of cream soup and it taste really nice..... Try it out and let me know how you find it or how you mollify it better!

Happy Cooking!

Ingredients:
1) Large potato (1 potato for 1 serving) - Skin the potatoes & cut into medium-size cube

2) Celery (1/4 cup of chopped celery per serving) - Cut Celery into medium-size cube (not too fine)

3) Onion (1 large onion per serving) - Cut onion into 4 pieces (like wages)
4)Fresh Milk/Full Cream Milk or cream
5) Chicken cube
6) Coriander/cilantro or your own fav type of herbs.
7) Salt & papper to taste

Method:
1) Boil potatoes, celery and onions in water with the water level slightly covering all the vegetables.
2) Bring to boil and lower heat, cover and simmer for 25mins, or until all of the vegetables are very tender.
3) Using a potato masher, coarsely crush the potatoes, but dont mash them, you want chunks left (I used fork instead). Just add it in after the vege are soften. I put in only 1 cube for the serving of 4.
4) Add enough milk or cream to thin to desired thickness and add salt & pepper to taste.
5) Finally, add some coriander (fresh or dried also can).

Done!
 
Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

You will need:
1/2 c Crisco
1/4 c Unsalted Butter
1 c White Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla
2 c Flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt

Also buy or make your choice of frosting. They are great with home-made lemon frosting.

Preheat the oven to 375.
In a saucepan, or skillet, melt the crisco and the unsalted butter together over the stove. Pour it into a bowl and place the bowl in the fridge. Retrieve the bowl once the butter/crisco mixture has solidified.
In a small bowl, sift and mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a larger bowl, blend together the egg, vanilla, and sugar with the crisco/butter mix. Slowly, add in the dry mix, until you have a dough.
Pin-roll the dough and use a small cookie cutter (no larger than the bottom of a beer bottle. A narrow drinking glass works best). Get out a cookie sheet.
Take each cookie cut-out and press both sides of it into a plate of sugar so as to lightly "coat" it in granulated sugar. Place it onto the cookie sheet. Only put six cookies on each sheet, or they will run into each other.
Bake for about 8 minutes each (watch until you can see cracked lines form on top of the cookies. DO NOT overcook. They will smell "off" if you do. You will grow familiar with that smell, if you sniff the bottom of the cookie. Good ones will smell sweet, overcooked ones will have an off smell that I can't describe.
Add some frosting and enjoy!

Make sure you store them in an air-tight container. Best if kept in the fridge.
 
I made a delicious drink last night...I didnt measure though.

Pineapple Mojito

- pineapple rum ( I had made one with regular white rum and it was really good. I ran out and switched to the pineapple and it was a little sweeter)
- a drop of sugar
- crushed fresh mint
- crushed pineapple
- ice
- a splash of club soda

I could easily down a pitcher of these. Super yummy.
