Texas Cowboy Stew

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  Because I loved it so much I want to share it with all of you.

The Original site is linked to the cute logo below.

 Such an Easy Recipe.  Follow steps below for a delicious mouth watering Meal.

Step # 1 - Using a Skillet Sautee' your chopped up onions over medium heat.

Step #2 - Add ground beef and cook until there is no pink left.

Step #3 - Add your cut up sausage

In a crock pot or dutch 

• Step 3. Pour in tomatoes, pinto beans, corn, potatoes, diced tomatoes with chiles and veggies
• Step 4. Mix everything until well combined, add spices

• Step 5. Add water, bring to a boil, and simmer for one hour.

WHAT CAN I ADD TO COWBOY STEW FOR FLAVOR?

In this recipe, spices make all the difference. Don’t hesitate to add more spices if you want a bit more kick.

A pinch of cinnamon, a dash of paprika as well as cumin and chili powder can render a very delicious stew.

I usually add chopped jalapenos to make it a bit spicier. Sometimes I even add cheese on top, throw it in the oven, and broil it until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH COWBOY STEW?

To add a bit of freshness to this dish, I generally serve it with a simple mixed greens salad or coleslaw and a big slice of sourdough bread.

PRO TIPS FOR COWBOY STEW;

1. This recipe is so easy, you really don’t have to be a pro to make it. But if you

1. want to make it even more special,
2. Place cooked stew on a casserole dish, put cheese on top, and bake until bubbly
3. After cooking the ground beef and adding the kielbasa, cook it for a couple more minutes and drain the excess fat from the meat and the sausage.

Blueberry Sky Pie

Well I want to write something and my mind has gone blank.  So for now I will share this awesome recipe with all of my followers.  

Though there is not many of you I want to try and post more often this year than I did last.  I think I am doing pretty good so far.

Blueberry Sky Pie

Ingredients:

8 oz pkg cream cheese

1 Tbs Koolaide (Lemonaide)

14 oz Can of Sweeten Condensed Milk

8 oz Whip Topping

2 Boxes of Blueberry Pie Filling

2 Gram Cracker Crust

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients (saving out about 2 tsp. of blueberry pie filling for topping on pie when done for decoration)

Poor into Gram Cracker Crusts, then place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.  Eat and enjoy.  Great with milk or Coffee.

Number of servings 6-8
Makes 2 Pies

Some are now using a can of frozen lemonaide.  Cost more and not sure what you do with the excess.  Also see people are only chilling for 20 minutes now.  Chilling longer makes it stand up better.  Keep one for home and take one to your co workers, Dentist like I did at Christmas time or a dear friend.

p.s. pictures were borrowed from the world wide web.  I starting making this recipe in 1975.  You can also switch out blue berry for strawberry or cherry.

Rhubarb More than a Plant

Rhubarb

Not just a plant.

But it is Pretty in your flower garden.  

But it's also real tasty.

Do you like Lemons, or other sour foods.  
You will love Rhubarb with salt.  
Well I eat Lemons with salt.  

But you can back really good sweets too.  Scroll down

Break off the stalk.  Do NOT eat the leaves. Break them off when they turn red.

They also have nutritional value too

Here are just a few Recipes I borrowed from Pinterest.  

You can find lots of great recipes on there.

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE WITH AN OATMEAL COOKIE CRUST

Dinner with Julie

Ingredients

3/4 cup oats

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

pinch salt

1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces

FILLING:

3 cups chopped rhubarb (about 1 lb)

1 1/4 cup sugar, divided

3/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup heavy (whipping) or half & half cream

2 large eggs

This one I was thinking maybe I could add a little less sugar.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

PREP TIME

15 mins

COOK TIME

1 hour

TOTAL TIME

1 hour 15 mins

Canning in jars is easy when you know How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Jam from fresh rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and lemon without pectin.

Author: Krissy Allori

Recipe type: spread, breakfast

Yields: 4 cups

INGREDIENTS

• 5 cups rhubarb (about 3 large stalks), cut into 1⁄2" cubes
• 2 cups hulled and halved strawberries (about 1 pint)
• 2 1⁄4 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from about half of a large lemon)

==============================

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium to large saucepan over medium heat. Once mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium low. You'll want the heat set to the point where it continues to bubble but not violently when stirred (you'll understand once you start cooking if jam bubbles start to pop out of the center of the pot). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the jam has thickened. Plan on cooking jam for about an hour and temperature of the mixture is over 205 degrees F.
2. While the jam is cooking, sterilize four 1-cup jelly glass jars plus their rings and lids. I do this by boiling them in water for 10 minutes or I boil the lids and run the rings and glass jars through the dishwasher.
3. Transfer sterilized jars, lids, and bands to a clean dish towel.
4. Have a very large covered pot of boiling water ready. There needs to be enough water in the pot so that when the filled jars are submerged, they're covered by at least 1" of water.
5. Fill each jar with hot jam, leaving at least 1⁄4" of space at the top. Place lids on jars, and secure ring bands. Secure just tight enough so that they are hand tightened but you can easily unscrew.
6. Transfer filled jars to pot of gently boiling water and let boil for 10 minutes. Transfer jars, set at least 1" apart, to a dish towel and let cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. You should hear the seals on the lids pop pretty soon after removing from the water.
7. If any jar is not fully sealed, or you chose to skip the canning process, jam should be refrigerated and used within 2 weeks. Sealed jars will keep, in a cool, dark place, for up to a year.

=================================

This is one I really want to try.

Review..................Check out these posts for 2014

Ok I got thinking about something a bit ago.  How many of us blog about something important that might help out others.  Or maybe do a blog on a technique or something we really want others to see.

Well probably all of us.   And they get viewed, then are on the back burner or way back in the closet so to speak just covering up with dust.  I'm not sure if you are like me, but I hate clicking on the month on a blog or on the year and then months to see what might have been posted.  So I am going to start posting the first and 15th of each month several older posts past.  That way you can check them out by clicking on the link.  Or I hope it takes you right to them.  I might have to do a bit of work to get this right. So please bare with me while I try to get this right.  Go right to the post and no scrolling for ever to find the particular post.
