Hi Everyone,
I just finished supper and I wanted to share some new recipes that I have done the past two days. Sunday we went to the Italian Festa here in Vandergrift, Pa and it inspired me to make some Braiole (stuffed steak). So yesterday we had Braiole, red skinned mashed potatoes with dark brown gravy and fresh garden tomato salad. The guys loved it and my future daughter in law liked the potatoes. Below is my recipe for Braiole.
Braiole
boneless round steak, pounded thin
Filling
7 slices of bread run through a food processor
1 green pepper and 1 peeled onion finely chopped in food processor
garlic finely chopped
2 large eggs slightly beaten
salt
pepper
Mix all the filling ingredients together and spread onto the steak. Roll the steak and place in roaster. Top with a little steak sauce. Add about a 1/3 cup of water to the bottom to keep from sticking. Baste often till steak is done and filling is cooked through. ENJOY!!!!
Now today meal was totally different from yesterdays meal. We had baked Tilapia with Lemon Salsa Verde and round mini raviolis with homemade marinara sauce. Below is the recipes for the Lemon Salsa Verde and the Homemade marinara sauce.
Lemon Salsa Verde
1/3 cup of each:
mint
parsley
basil
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of canola or olive oil
zest of one lemon
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 to 1 cup of lemon juice
1 - 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
about 1/4 cup of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
In a food processor mix together the herbs, garlic, oil zest of one lemon and salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a pan mix and heat together lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar and salt and pepper. Heat until thick and then remove from heat and let set or put in frig to cool. After fish is baked mix the herb mixture and the lemon sauce together and warm. Drizzle over fish and serve. You will have some left over. Store in frig. Use within a couple of days or freeze. ENJOY!!!
I hope you give them a try. Let me know what you think.
Hugs,
Janet

New Chicken Recipe
Hi Everyone,
I am having such a wonderful day today. Had Ladies Bible Study today and it was really nice getting together with other ladies to study God's Word. However, before I left I put some chicken breasts in the oven using a new recipe. I want to share that recipe with you. I was watching Holiday with Gordon Ramsey the other day and he showed how he makes his holiday turkey and I thought I would use his idea with my chicken breast, but I did it my way. I call my recipe Bacon and Orange Chicken. Here is my recipe:
Bacon and Orange Chicken
3 large chicken breast with skin on
1/2 lb of bacon
3 cups of orange juice
1 large onion cut in half
Place the 3 chicken breast in roaster skin side up. Season with a little salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Place bacon strips on top of each breast. Arrange onion halves along chicken breasts. Pour in 2 cups of orange juice. Place in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes and then reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake until golden brown on top, the bacon is crisp and the breasts are thoroughly cooked. Basted chicken breasts several times during the cooking process and add the 3rd cup of juice if you desire, I did. When done take the breasts out of the roaster and set aside to rest while you make the gravy Also remove the onion halves.. If you have made mashed potatoes for the meal reserved some of the potato water to add to the orange juice broth you cooked the chicken in. Season more if needed. Add corn starch to thicken. This makes a delicious bacon and citrus gravy, very unique.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable.
Enjoy the recipe and let me know if you try it.
Hugs,
Janet

Monday Canning Day
Hi Everyone,
Just checking in to say Hi and to let everyone know what I have been up too.
This past friday I decided we haven't had rabbit in awhile so that is what we had for supper. Roasted rabbit with onion gravy, mashed potatoes and garden fresh tomato salad. The guys really enjoyed it. Rabbit meat is tender when roasted, similar to chicken. Don't forget to baste it every so often.
Today I did some canning which keeps me pretty busy so I decided to take some leftovers and make some delicious. We had Hot Rabbit and Onion gravy over corn and cheese biscuits with baked cheesy mashed potatoes.
Rabbit Left Overs
Left overs from friday meal.
chopped rabbit meat
onion gravy
mashed potatoes
butter
cup of cheese
1/3 cup of canned milk
Mix the first two ingredients and heat over a low to medium heat. Slightly warm mashed potatoes. Mix in butter, cheese and milk. Dot with butter and bake in oven 400 degrees 20 - 30 minutes.
Corn and Cheese Biscuits
2 cups of bisquick mix
1 cup of shredded cheese
3/4 cup of canned milk
3/4 can of cream style corn
Mix all ingredients, drop by spoon on baking sheet. Bake in 400 degree oven till golden brown on bottom and slightly brown on top. Serve with gravy or top with butter. Both ways are delicious.
Enjoy!!!

Canning
Hi Everyone,
Hope all of you are having a great summer. Now that it is August the fruits of our garden are coming in and I have started my canning. Today, after many years, due to work, I started canning the tomatoes. I was able to make 7 3/4 quarts of tomato sauce. It was really good to be doing that homemaking chore again and hearing the pop of the jars as they sealed the goodness of the garden inside. It will be so nice this winter to open a jar and make spagetti with the sauce made from the tomatoes from the garden.
How many of you still practice the art of canning? A quick question how many of you can fruit? Can you give me some advice on canning the fruit? Is there one way or another that is best? I would really like to get into canning fruit for the winter.
I may try my hand at making some jam too. We will see about that, I don't want to take too much on my son is getting married in October, but first I will be going out to California for two weeks to be with my daughter and her family.
Well I better close for now. Please let me know about the canning. I will try to get some pictures posted of my jars of sauce.
Hugs,
Janet
