Pepper Sherry

Image
In preparation for our next recipe - though this stands out all in its own & can be used in a myriad of recipes - submitted by Nancy: Pepper Sherry Ingredients: 1/4 cup fresh hot small peppers (I use Serrano peppers) Leave peppers whole 1 cup dry sherry Directions: Place clean peppers in a clean glass bottle or jar. Pour sherry over peppers. Shake, then cover with bottle cap. Let stand at room temperature, one week before using in recipes. (This sauce is great in all kinds of other recipes, too) AllPosters Simple & easy sauce. We will use this in the upcoming recipe. But it can be used in many things. Good to have around in the house.

Nancy sent in a couple of great chicken recipes. She Writes: I know this is a very corny recipe, but it's fast and easy, once you get the system going and probably not too expensive, either. This makes about four servings, although my son Jake and I sometimes finish up the whole lot at one time. Shows you why I'm now on Weight Watchers.

One really great thing about our insane cook Paula. She notices when I am busy elsewhere and sends in recipes for all of us to enjoy. For this I thank her. So I put this one out for you guys. Be warned though. I am going to be doing a few recipes and pieces on really CHEAP & EASY dishes, due to some email that I have received. So if any of you out there have any... SEND THEM IN! Paula Writes: You’re all probably tired of chicken recipes by now. This one works with ground beef as well. A simple, flavorful and easy dish. Did I mention its’ all in ONE DISH!

Grilled Salmon & Vegetables

Apologies to all readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen as due to a computer software foul-up I had to reinstall my whole computer. But we are back now, though I still have to sort out some software! This one is from Paula. She writes: Salmon is one of those dishes people either love or hate. I find it similar to Tuna and when cooked right, it really is delicious and healthy. My uncles swore they would never eat Salmon again. They were forced to eat it at home when they were younger. As I have said in prior posts, my grandmother, though a dear woman, is a terrible cook. So, I being the Insane, sometimes evil cook that I am, made this dish for a Barbeque. I did not tell them what it was ( they love my cooking and stopped asking). They loved it. Of course it took some convincing to make them believe it was salmon. Poor guys, the horrible memories of bad cooking left a lasting impression on their taste buds. P.S. I’m guessing our host will give this a Three. Grilled Salmon

Lemon Meringue Pie

Image
Here is one from Paula - Lemon Meringue Pie : Lemons are one of the most versatile fruits on earth. From cleaning to cooking, this is one item I try never to run out of. There are several options to making this pie. You can buy canned Lemon Pie filling and a prepared pie crust, purchased at the market, and just add the meringue topping. This is the easy, cheat way to make it. You can semi-cheat and use the prepared pie crust and make the filling and meringue and it would be less cheating and you will be pleased with the outcome. Or… you could make the entire pie from scratch and be the envy of your guests for such a terrific dessert. Either way, you will enjoy it. Lemon Meringue Pie Using the Pie Crust Recipe I submitted previously, prepare the crust and bake it. ( This recipe for pie crust can be found by clicking here. ) Once you have the Pie Crust Recipe...here is for the rest of the Lemon Meringue Pie . Utensils you will need: Two Large Bowls 1 Medium sauce pan Whisk Ingredien
