So I realized after I did the post yesterday, I was not being very fair. I did not share my recipes with you.
My Spaghetti Sauce:
(Although I will tell you now, each and every time, I make my sauce, it may be different. Also, I do not typically measure anything)
For the version in the picture:
I began by browning 8 sweet Italian sausage links. Then I added about 1 pound of ground beef and drained that. I then added one whole medium size onion (diced) along with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper. Once that had a cooked a while, I added one quart size mason jar of tomatoes our family canned (if you don't have this option, I would add a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes along with 2 of the regular sized cans of Italian tomatoes. I let that cook a while. Then I added a jar of spaghetti sauce (I got this idea from watching "The Pioneer Woman". Plus I add a can of tomato paste to add depth to the sauce. I let it simmer about 15 minutes. I then serve it over freshly cooked pasta. For our dinner Saturday night, my husband also made us garlic toast. The dinner was yummy.
For the chicken dinner from Monday night, I began by seasoning 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs with Mesquite seasoning, brick oven seasoning, Chipolte seasoning plus garlic salt and some pepper. I heated some olive oil in a skillet. I then browned the chicken breasts on each side and cooked for about 25 minutes total. We served the chicken over Amish Egg Noodles. We also had sauteed greens - a trio of greens bought in a bag from one of our local grocery stores along with red onion plus garlic salt and pepper, a vegetable medley of squash, peppers, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower that were steamed in our microwave. We also had frozen kernel corn. It was a meal that got rave reviews from my family. So I hope you enjoy these recipes.
What is your favorite recipe/meal to prepare?
Ya know, I really need to start cooking more. I make meals but I don't do much homemade stuff and as my kids are still pretty young it would be really cool to get into the habit of that. Maybe even just once a week or something. Food is a huge part of how I show love, as it seems to be with you! thanks for inspiring me today ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. Yes since your children are young, now it is a great time to use home cooking as a way to expand your children's tastes. Glad I was able to inspire you today!
DeleteI was just asking my mother for her spaghetti recipe on Sunday. It has been years since I cooked my own.

Thank you for your comment. I hope you make a wonderful meal of spaghetti that you may share with family or close friends.
DeleteI love spaghetti, but can also make a great meat loaf! Those are my favorite staple American foods but I have several foreign dishes that I love to prepare!
