Fried Peppers and Onions

June 30, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I use this same basic recipe for fried peppers and onions for many different kinds of dishes.   They are fantastic as part of a taco or burrito, of course.  They also go great on a sausage or meatball sandwich.  They make a lovely side dish just as they are, as well.  You can use a [...]

Vegetarian Panini with Cheese, Tomato, Red Onion and Arugula

May 21, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Forgot to take a picture alas, but this is well worth making.  I was looking for a quick dinner, something warm, and thought a panini would do. I made this on sliced sourdough, not any special bread. Inside was: Dijon mustard Tomato, a few slices Fontina cheese, sliced Red onion, a few slices Pepperoncini, sliced [...]

Bierocks (aka Runzas): Beef and Cabbage Stuffed in Bread

March 1, 2010 by Ellen · 2 Comments 

I was thumbing through some old magazines before donating them to the library and came across this recipe for bierocks in an old Cooking Light magazine, apparently something the Russian Mennonites brought over (the recipe, not the magazine!)  When I was growing up, we seldom ate out or picked up takeout, but a great little [...]

Bacon Bit Burgers with Steak House Fried Onions and Spinach Salad

February 7, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Take some ground beef and mix with chopped cooked bacon, cooked onions, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce, then top with fried onions and cheese. My twist: rather than just use buns, I turned this into a patty melt kinda deal with some sliced French bread I had leftover from a small dinner party. Oh my! [...]

Breakfast Bagel Sandwich with Eggs and Bacon

February 2, 2010 by Ellen · 1 Comment 

I bought some plain old cheap bagels at the grocery store the other day, along with some whipped cream cheese.  At some point I cooked up some bacon for something and had a few slices left over in the frig, which led directly to the most delicious fast breakfast I’ve had in a while. The [...]

Homemade Hamburger Buns

January 10, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

A discussion on a CheapCooking Yahoo group I run about bread machines made me feel like baking bread. I had a pork shoulder roast in the Crock Pot, slowly being turned into pulled pork, so I decided to make some homemade hamburger buns, which I’ve never done before. I used a recipe in my copy [...]

Crockpot Pulled Pork

Turn a pork shoulder (often found on sale) into a delicious batch of pulled pork. Freeze some for later–it makes a lot! Or share with a neighbor. 1 T oil 2 chopped onions 6 minced garlic cloves 1 T chili powder 1/2 tsp black pepper 12 oz chili sauce (1 small bottle) 1/4 cup brown [...]

Homemade Black Bean Burgers & Sweet Potato Fries

November 27, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I don’t watch cooking shows very often, but these black bean burgers on Sandra Lee’s Money Saving Recipes were intrigued me. My parents came down on Wednesday to stay with us so my mom and I could start on Thanksgiving preparations. I knew they are always willing to try new foods and enjoy low fat [...]

Ham Panini Sandwiches with …

November 15, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I had a few nights this week where it was just me for dinner!  Wow. Not used to cooking for one.  I had some ham so both nights ended making ham paninis with various fixings and a simple green salad with tomatoes from the garden. First up was a Panini sandwich with some thinly sliced [...]

Chicken Salad Sandwich and Soup

October 31, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

A dinner of leftovers tonight. I can hardly cook when the doorbell keeps ringing! First, I had some leftover Sort of Mexican Chicken Soup.  I added a large spoonful of this avocado pico del gallo and some crushed tortilla chips. Mmm! I also used the last of the cooked chicken to make a chicken salad [...]
