Turkey ham cut into 1/4 inch slices covered with a sauce of mustard, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Baked in the oven at about 350 F, until warm. Served with baked or mashed potatoes and cheese. This is my comfort food. It can also be made in the microwave in a pinch.2. Quiche Lorraine.
Brenton calls my quiche “Man Quiche” I use a flakey pie crust and follow the betty crocker recipe for Quiche Lorraine, except I use a whole pack of bacon, substitute about 1 1/2- 2 c. cheddar cheese for the swiss cheese, and I leave out the onion and red pepper. It’s a heart attack in a crust. But I love it. Good thing I rarely make it
3. Hot artichoke-Spinach Dip (The Olive Garden Copy-Cat Recipe) I usually serve it with fresh French bread. Brenton and I will make a meal out of this sometimes.
4. Philly Cheese Steak
saute 1/4 c. onion, sliced; 1/2 green pepper, sliced, and 1/4 of a 4 oz can of mushrooms, drained, season to taste (I use mexican seasonings)
Broil or steak(about 1 lb of meat), seasoned to tasted. When the steak is cooked through, cut into strips. Return to broiling pan. Top with sauted vegetables and slices of provolone cheese. Broil for another minute, until cheese is melted.
I got the recipe from a low carb recipe site and promptly decided they were best when served on hoagie or french rolls. So much for low carb.
5. Black Bottom Cupcakes
Oh my oh my, these are good. No need for icing, but fudge icing is good on them too. They are a bit messy to eat and VERY rich.
6. Blue bunny, bunny tracks ice cream which I first had on a date with Brenton, or cappuccino fudge blitz MMMM…
7. biscuit pizza
I get canned biscuits and flatten them out. Then I top with tomato sauce (I get the small can that is pre-flavored with garlic and herbs), pepperoni or hamburger, and mozzarella cheese. Cook according to biscuit package directions.
8. spicy hot ham sandwiches another family recipe that is ohsogood.
9. Hebrew National kosher hot dogs. If I’m going to cook out, I still want good food. These are the best. Two summers at camp cured me of eating cheap hot dogs.
10. McDonald’s Bacon Egg and Cheese biscuits. I don’t really like anything else at McD’s, but I could eat a bacon egg and cheese biscuit 3 times a week.
11. Steel cut oatmeal. This is my usual breakfast. The flavor is nutty and has a lot better texture than quick cooking oats. I can actually eat breakfast and not need to eat again until lunch time. That’s a major accomplishment for me. I usually mix with brown sugar or raisins.
12. eggs, sunny side up. But it has to be served with toast. My Grandma always made these when we visited her in Nebraska.
13. I always feel like the last one should be grander than the rest, but I usually run out of things by now. This time I saved the best for last…dark chocolate…cadberry, dove, Hershey’s, any kind as long as it’s dark.
