Hi Everyone,
Just checking in and hoping all of you had a great Memorial Day Celebration. Family and friends gathered at our house for a picnic and it was great sharing the day with them.. However there was a few empty spaces that could only be filled by my daughter and her family, but our thoughts and prayers were with them.
I am posting some pictures of my mini tea post collection as well as some other china pieces. Please enjoy and also visit my other blog: nananovembersparlor.blogspot.com
Thanks and have a super great day.
Hugs,
Janet

Supper Outside
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I did not post yesterday. I wanted to share this recipe with you yesterday but I was alittle busy. Yesterday I was wondering what to make for supper. We had a late lunch so I didn't want to make a big supper. So I decided to do the following.
Fresh Garden Salad with Homemade Italian Dressing and Longhorn Cheddar Butterfly Crisps
(I know long title, but yummy meal)
Fresh garden lettuce (right from the garden), cleaned and chopped
Fresh onions (right from the garden), cleaned and diced, including the green part
1 MacIntosh apple, cleaned, cored and diced
Shredded Fontinalla Cheese
Homemade Italian dressing
Mix together and set aside.
Spraylightly a non-stick skillet and get it hot. Cut sliced Longhorn cheddar cheese into triangles and place them in hot skillet with top points touching. Fry on one side till almost golden brown and then flip to lightly brown. Remove from skillet to drain on a paper towel. Use to garnish salad. What a yummy treat. My guys loved them.
Homemade Italian Dressing
1 cup Canola Oil
1/2 cup vinegar
onion powder (to taset)
garlic powder (to taste)
italian seasoning (to taste)
1/4 - 1/3 cup of sugar
light sprinkle of water
Shake well and add to salad. This makes enough for a few salads.
Please try these out and enjoy!!!
Hugs,
Janet

Kitchen Duty
Hi Everyone,
I am calling this post Kitchen Duty, but I mean it in a special way. I love being in the kitchen cooking and baking. Especially for my family. Today I want to share with all of you what I am cooking for supper tonight. I was inspired by the Laura Ingalls Wilder book series. Yes that is a kids book series, but I love reading them just to be reminded about life long ago. She shares in her books differents things her mother would cook and bake, this what inspires me to try new things when I cook and bake. So here we go.
Creamed Potaotes and Peas
Wash, peel, cube, and cooked till tender the desired amount of potatoes
1 bag of frozen peas cooked according to package directions
2 quarts of water
2 large tablespoons of chicken base
1/2 cup of flour
About 1 1/2 cups of water
After the potatoes are finished cooking drain them and set aside. Take the 2 quarts of water (could be less if your desired) add the chicken base. More base can be added if needed. and bring to a boil. Mix the flour and water together for a thicking and add to the boiling chicken broth. It will get thick. Add potatoes and peas and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve and enjoy some old fashion cooking. I am serving mine in a bowl because I made a little extra thickened broth. I am serving it will the follwing:
fried ham slices
sliced bread and butter
Dessert: chewy fudge brownies with walnuts
Try this menu out on your family and remember the good old days when life was much simplier.
Hugs,
Janet
