Easter
Ham
There is nothing better than a juicy melt
in your mouth ham at Easter time. This
recipe is so simple anyone can do it. My
German Uncle Heinz, who is a butcher by trade,
taught me that adding ginger ale to a ham
somehow seals in all the juices and adds an
incredible flavor to the ham. He was so
right and I am so thankful for his good
advise.
Cheesy
Beef and Macaroni Supper
Here's a great little recipe for when you
are in a hurry and only have 1/2 hour or less
to make a meal for your family. It is
something I invented once because I had so
little time to cook and my son Bill loved it
so much that it has been a repeat in my family
for many, many years now. It has a mild
comfort food kind of taste that most kids will
enjoy including the "big kid", my
husband Phil!
Wrapped
Chicken
This recipe comes from Linda Gauger and is
always good for a company meal especially when
the group is a large one. It is one of
those stick it in the oven and forget it
recipes that are easy as pie. I
like to serve it here at home with buttered
pasta. Love it!
Stuffed
Pork Loin with Apple Sauce
This is my own recipe and a favorite for
when company comes. It is tender and
juicy and the apple sauce compliments the pork
very well. It has become my husbands
favorite dish. It is not all that hard
to make and I'm sure you will enjoy it once
you've tried it! I made it this Easter,
2005, when my daughter came home to visit and
she loved it!
Fast
Family Chicken Fajitas
This recipe is great for when you are in a
hurry and need to make dinner fast and fun.
It uses ingredients you would normally have
around the house anyway. It will feed
six or double it for a crowd. Good at
lunch time as well.
Simple
Beef Stroganoff
Here a quick and easy recipe for dinner
especially if you are in a hurry. And, who
isn't these days? You can make it with
sirloin beef strips, chicken breast strips, or
even with ground beef. I like the beef
best. Serve it over hot buttered egg
noodles with a leafy salad and a loaf of
French bread and you have dinner!
Golden
Noodle and Sausage Bake
Here is another good recipe that is hearty
and quick and easy to make. Your family
will love it! Serve it with a salad and
biscuits and you've got dinner ready in 1/2 an
hour!
Leftover
Skillet Supper
My Mom had a way with leftovers! She
could throw almost anything together and make
it taste good. This is one of my
favorites that she used to throw together and
we all loved it.
Beefy
Bean Burgers
This is a nice version of something else
you can do with ground beef in a hurry besides
Sloppy Joes. It is one of my husbands
favorite sandwiches for lunch and very easy to
make.
Shredded
Barbecued Beef
This recipe will feed a crowd of people and
is oh so good. It also comes from the
kitchen of Ruby McGlothlin. A great meal
for a bunch of hungry teenagers or men.
I cut the recipe in to half as much for my
small family. Thanks Ruby for another fine
recipe!
Stuffed
Cabbage Rolls
I have been making these for a long time
now. They are best in the summer when
you can get local home grown cabbage because
the flavor is even more intense. The
cabbage rolls also freeze very well and when I
make them I usually make a large batch and
freeze some. They are great for buffet
style dinners as a side, also.
Beef
Burgundy
Here is an old standard recipe that is
always great for when company comes. It
is fairly easy and yet it is so special at the
same time. I like to serve it with
buttered egg noodles or rice.
Basic
Meat Loaf
This is my simple but juicy and tasty
recipe for meat loaf. It comes from my
Mother with a few embellishments of my own
added to the recipe. I serve it with
mashed potatoes and gravy and what ever
vegetable I like. Always a hit with a
meat and potatoes kind of man like my husband
Phil.
Meat
Log Stew
This is a recipe that I invented when I
wanted to make beef stew and didn't have
anything but ground chuck. It turned out
to be quite a favorite of my family. My
friend Jeanie Mullins loves it and couldn't
wait for me to add it to my list so she could
make it. Hearty and great tasting.
Hunter
Chicken
I love this dish! It is so easy to
prepare and gives the chicken breasts a
different taste. I like to serve it with
buttered noodles or boiled red potatoes in a
parsley butter sauce with a side of snow peas
or California blend. A delicious and
nutritious meal in less than 1/2 an hour.
German
Beef Roulladen ( Beef Roll Ups)
This is a recipe that comes from my Mother.
I have embellished it slightly to suit my
taste with added mushrooms, but it is pretty
authentic. We used to have Roulladen for
Christmas dinner because it was such a special
treat. I fixed Roulladen for our family
Christmas Eve reunion this past Christmas
(2004) and it was a big hit with my family of
about 30 people.
Wiener
Schnitzel
This recipe comes from my Mother.
It is still a big favorite in my family.
You can use veal but Mom always used pork
because it was less expensive and some how the
pork is some what more juicy than the veal.
I like either one. Served with a wedge
of lemon and buttered egg noodles. What
could be better than this?
Jager
Schnitzel (Hunter Style)
This is also a wonderful recipe for
Schnitzel in a Hunter Style, with a brown
gravy and mushroom and wine sauce that is just
fabulous! Delicious and very different
from the Normal way of serving Schnitzel.
Also great served with buttered egg noodles or
potato dumplings.
Paprikaschnitzel
(Hungarian Style)
This recipe is for a Hungarian Style
Schnitzel. It is also very delicious and
has yet another kind of taste that is very
different. I like to use Vidalia onions
with this one because they are so sweet.
This schnitzel reminds me of Hungarian Goulash
but better! Served over, you guessed it,
buttered egg noodles!
Stuffed
Green Peppers
This recipe is one of my husbands favorites
and is so easy to prepare. I love using
fresh green peppers, the home grown kind, that
I can get in the summer. They have a
more intense flavor. This is a great
treat for dinner, anytime.
Old
Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie
This recipe comes from my mother in law
Virginia Lutz and is so delicious! It's
just plain good old southern cooking at it's
best. She never used vegetables in hers
but I added them to mine to make it even
better and more wholesome. It is my
husbands all time favorite besides chicken and
dumplings.
Chicken
and Dumplings
This is my husbands most favorite recipe of
all. I fix this for him at least once or
twice a month. He can't seem to get
enough of it. It really is not that hard
when you use Bisquick, so give it a try!
Lemon-Pepper
Chicken Sauté
Here is a quick recipe for chicken breasts
that is so easy to make. You will love
the mild flavor and it is good served over
rice with your favorite crusty bread and a
nice fresh salad. Most every one likes
chicken.
Sandwich
Supper Wraps
There are times when it's just too hot
outside or when you just don't feel like
cooking and you need something good, but also
something quick and easy for supper.
Have you ever tried sandwich wraps? Here
are a few of my favorite wraps that are good
any old time.
Gyoza
This wonderful recipe for Japanese Won Tons
comes from my good friend Akiko Quinn.
Akiko gave the Fellowship team of my church a
demonstration of how to make these and then we
feasted on them. You just can't eat just
one! They are the best won tons I have
ever tasted!! I'm going to see if we can
add Akiko's recipe for fried rice also.
You have got to try these they are wonderful
and not much work either.
Broccoli
Cheddar Chicken
This recipe comes from my nephews wife Tina
Leonard and it is so simple yet, hearty and
delicious. There are so many ways to use
chicken breasts and that is healthy eating, if
you ask me. Served with a crisp salad on
the side and some applesauce and you've got a
meal with not too much fussing. Give it
a try and you won't be sorry you did.
Chicken Bundles
This recipe comes from Linda Gauger's Aunt
Eleanore. She brought them to me when I
was sick and needed help. Our church
family is so loving that when ever any one is
sick we do dinner for them for a while till
they are stronger. Anyway these lovely
bundles are so light they are just right for
anytime. I fell in love with them at
first bite.
