She was an amazing cook who even made this cake for my wedding reception. For almost 60+ years of my life, I always felt this made Christmas foods right up there with flat enchiladas and tamales. We could mention 2020 and how awful it was and the world turned upside down, but one of the biggest world flippers was finding out my dad and my husband didn’t like tamales and they would rather have apple pie rather than German chocolate cake. But that is another story….<p></p><p>Her recipe is as follows:</p><div class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-group" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px;"><h4 class="wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-ingredient-group-name wprm-block-text-bold" id="for-the-cake" style="box-sizing: border-box;

Let simmer for 5-10 minutes. Serve with guacamole on fresh flour tortillas. Big D could not get enough.</p><p>If you like it spicier add a few drops of Tabasco or use a spicier pepper. </p><p><br /></p>Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-27722760270893795112020-12-06T08:46:00.000-08:002020-12-06T08:46:31.805-08:00Portuguese dressing<p> This is an absolute TNT recipe. This recipe came into the family with my Husband’s father who was born in the Madeira Islands in 1921. This is usually done the day before so all the flavors can meld together.for more onion celery flavor increase as desired.</p><p>2 packages of herbed Pepperidge farms stuffing cubes/crumbs</p><p>1 small onion chopped</p><p>6 stalks of celery chopped</p><p>1 lb ground beef</p><p>1 can chopped black olives</p><p>1 cup chopped walnuts</p><p>4 cups chicken broth(warm)</p><p>Butter</p><p>If using regular non herbed stuffing, add sage thyme and Rosemary or poultry seasoning to your taste.</p><p>In a skillet sauté with 1/2 stick butter onions, celery, beef together. Add to stuffing crumbs, add olives and chopped walnuts. Add warm broth enough to moisten and blend all together. Reserve other 1/2 stick butter to melt and pour over the stuffing.</p><p>Stuff turkey with it. Put in its own pan but add.juices from the turkey before baking. Bake 350, 40 minutes. Do not let it get dried out or be mushy...find that happy medium. </p>Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-40027847714343357482020-11-11T03:32:00.000-08:002020-11-11T03:32:20.117-08:00Scotch Broth<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, and milk. Add the melted, cooled butter and whisk until well combined.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; display: inline; padding: 0px;">
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, film with 1/2 teaspoon of neutral oil such as canola or peanut oil. After about 30 seconds, when the oil shimmers but is not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and use a soup spoon to drop in heaping spoonfuls of pancake batter.</div>
</div>

<li class="Recipe__instruction-step" style="border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 1rem; padding-top: 1rem; position: relative;"><div class="Recipe__instruction-step-content" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; padding-bottom: 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; display: inline; padding: 0px;">
The batter will spread into a pancake about 3 inches wide. Cook for about 2 1/2 minutes. (If the pancake scorches or the oil smokes, lower the heat.) When the bubbles that form on the edges of the pancakes look dry and airy, use a thin spatula to gently lift one side and peek underneath. If the pancake is golden brown, flip and cook on the other side for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until the bottom of the pancake is golden brown.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; display: inline; padding: 0px;">
Remove from the skillet to the baking sheet in the oven. Scrape any stray crumbs or scraps out of the skillet, add a little more oil, and continue to cook the remaining batter.</div>

The directions say, <ol class="X5LH0c" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-family: Roboto, HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;">
<li class="TrT0Xe" style="list-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 12px 16px; padding: 0px;">In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, dry leek soup mix, water chestnuts and chopped spinach. Chill in the refrigerator 6 hours, or overnight.</li>
</ol>
Those ingredients are still there...just a few more items have been added.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1 oz pkg cream cheese(room temperature)</div>
<div>
1 1/2 C sour cream</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
1 pkg of dry leek soup mix</div>
<div>
1 Tbl dry ranch dressing mix</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thoroughly mix...and then synergize this recipe...(synergy: the interaction of two or more forces or elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of their individual effects)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2 boxes of chopped spinach(once were frozen, but now they are thawed and drained)</div>
<div>
1 Lb bacon(baked in the oven, crumbled and degreased)</div>
<div>
1 can of chopped water chestnuts</div>
<div>
1/4 cup finely chopped onions </div>
<div>
1/4 cup finely chopped celery </div>
<div>

The outcome was a delicately portioned out tasty treasure that had taken her quite a bit of effort to make. All other pimento cheese recipes just did not do it for me. Store bought in the glass jars was horrible. So a few moments in time later, I craved my mothers heaven blest concoction. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I changed and adapted with the times. No more miracle whip! Helmans is the best and used liberally.</div>
<div>
No more grating! Buy the cheddar or combo finely pre-grated cheese to your taste. I love either Sharp or the Mexican cheese combo. Life is even easier with diced pimentos in the jar. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would love to be able to tell you exactly what the proportions are, but it is more done by sight. When using large amounts of cheese like I have done(5 lbs cheese ), use a large or even two small drained jars of chopped pimentos. Always drain. And the question you ask yourself, how much do I like pimentos? Mayo amounts are added so it is not a dry combination, so in a large batch it could be a whole jar of mayo. Add it in chunks so as not to over mayo-nize it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Salt minimally, dash of pepper still to your liking. And always a pinch of sugar. The pinch should be according to the batch size. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have added Dill Weed at times. Some like tobacco. I like it most as a purist. If any questions. Ask away! But most of all...enjoy!</div>
<div>

Got in from work yesterday and knew I wanted chicken with a pasta. a new creation was born!<br />
<br />
I took 7-10 frozen chicken tenders straight out of the freezer and put them in my medium sized round calaphon sauté pan on a medium to high heat. Added in a cup of sliced mushrooms, a cup of chopped celery, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Tuscany seasoning to taste After letting that simmer with the dome lid on for a few minutes I added one can of diced tomatoes and covered it again. It needed color and more sauce so I went looking in the pantry and found a pint of gossner's shelf whipping cream. Added that and let it simmer a bit more. I also cut up the now cooked chicken tenders into bite sized pieceswith a small metal spatula while it was still in the pan. Still wasn't happy with it, so I pulled out the remains of fresh spinach from the fridge and added about 1.5 cups of freshly torn spinach to the pan and covered it up and turned off the heat.<br />
<br />
I cooked up a batch of whole wheat angel hair pasta. That was the healthy part of dinner! The final touch was adding a handful of shredded cheese to the top of the chicken florentined cream rose colored sauce before serving. To say the least, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);">It was a hit with this crew!</span>Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-16670948466353224172012-09-13T17:02:00.000-07:002012-09-13T17:03:18.149-07:00Shrimp Creole...my wayI was at my sister in laws on Saturday and saw her recipe for Shrimp Creole sitting on the counter. I immediately knew I would be making something like it this week<br />
<br />
1.5 cups chopped red bell pepper<br />
1/4 of a jalepeno pepper minced very fine<br />
1 c chopped red onion<br />
1.5 cups of chopped celery<br />
2 Tblsp minced garlic<br />
<br />
Sauté all of this in a 1/4 cup butter. Salt pepper to taste<br />
<br />
Add 2 lbs of shrimp(mine were actually frozen with deveined and the tail off)<br />
Tobasco to taste<br />
1 can of tomato paste<br />
3 reg cans of diced tomatoes<br />
<br />
I let that simmer and stew until the shrimp started to melt and cook. I then added frozen okra, about one and a half cups. Simmered about twenty more minutes. Turned the heat off and let it sit for an hour. Served over jasmine rice blend with wild rices that had been cooked in chicken broth and butter.<br />
<br />
It was really a comfort food on a rainy night.<br />

It was designed for those who are not huge fans of pickles or eggs<br />
<br />
12 potatoes cut up and boiled in salted water , then drained.<br />
<br />
1 c chopped Celery<br />
1 c chopped Onion<br />
1 c of crumbled Bacon <br />
<br />
Saute the three C of COB in 2 Tbl of butter. Combine all of this with the still warm drained potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste. I like to add an herbal seasoned salt that has rosemary, thyme and other various herbs. I actually use a potato masher to give it a bit of a mashed potato appearance, leaving lumps is preferred. Add the last three ingreadients, mixing it quite well.<br />
<br />
1 C sour cream<br />
1/4 c of mayonaise<br />
1 1/2 C of shredded nacho cheese( I do love Gossner's brand)<br />
<br />
The awesome part of this recipe is that it can be served warm like a german potato salad or cold like a traditional summer salad.Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-13420993455620385552012-07-07T12:57:00.002-07:002012-07-08T03:49:10.145-07:00Quick Pork roast with Bread DumplingsI have a family friend who I call "Aunt Maria". She is from Czeckoslovakia which is now known as the Czech Republic. She taught me long ago to make czech bread dumplings. When we were in Prague I ordered their goulash with dumplings. I was utterly pleased when they were the bread dumplings that she has taught to make years ago.<br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We found pre-made ones in Bergreinfeld where Jeni and Al live. We hoped for the best and they did not disappoint. But I digress.<br/>
We were starving when we returned from church and I wanted something quick. We had pork roast and a package of the dumplings. I opted to cut the raw pork roast into bite size pieces, coat it in flour, and braised it with onions, carrots, ground pepper, and a herbed salt we found in Salzburg. The meat was tender and juicy and tasty. It left a wonderful base for a gravy. A little gooseberry jam was added to the gravy and it was super! When it was all done, we added the pre-cooked dumplings on top, covered it and let them steam. It was so fresh and tasted like the meal we had had in Prague.<br/>
Now if you cannot find pre-made dumplings I am including the recipe that Aunt Maria gave me years ago.<br/>
1 pkg of yeast<br>
1/2 c Warm-not hot milk to activate the yeast<br>
1 pinch of salt<br>
2 eggs<br>
3-4 c of flour<br>
2 rolls broken up small or 4 white pieces of bread torn up<br>
mix ingredients in order. Let rise for an hour. Form into loaf shapes and then drop in hot boiling salted water. COVER-DO NOT PEEK! Keep covered and boiling for 20 minutes.
When they are done remove and cut them into thin slices with a piece of White thread. There are two kinds of dumpling on this picture, one is the potato dumpling and is more yellow in color. The other is white and the bread dumpling. They are wonderful for using with any meat and gravy. Also tasty with Cabbage and potatoes cooked together!<br>Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-20169318658765738282012-07-07T10:17:00.002-07:002012-07-08T03:48:22.070-07:00Savaroises au chocolatOur trip to Europe has inspired a new taste treat!

Hot Chocolate Popovers
makes: 12 popovers
recipe adapted from David Lebovitz
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus more for greasing the pan
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 large marshmallows.
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
I used a standard muffin tin for these popovers. No fancy popover pan required. Use a paper towel to grease the individual muffin cups. Grease well with butter. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk well. Get an arm workout.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, instant espresso powder, salt, cocoa powder, and flour.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just incorporated and no lumps remain. I poured my batter in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup and poured the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Fill cups one-half to two-thirds full. Place pan in the oven and set timer for 30 minutes.
No peeking. That’s important. Don’t open the oven.
After 30 minutes, remove the popovers from the oven and immediately set oven to broiler.
Carefully add a sprinkling (maybe about 5-7) chocolate chips into the center of the popover, and top with a marshmallow. If you have to press the chocolate in and deflate the popover a bit, use the back of a spoon. Go for it.
Place pan under the broiler and barely close the door. Keep and eye on the toasting marshmallows. They’ll only need about a minute under the broiler. Feel free to rotate the pan as necessary.
Remove toasted popovers from the oven. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Use a butter knife to gently remove the popovers. Serve warm.
Popovers are best the day they’re made, but they also freeze just fine. Place in the freezer and reheat wrapped in foil, in a 350 degree oven.Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-28266343086988302972012-02-19T04:44:00.000-08:002012-02-19T04:56:50.487-08:00Easier PaellaI just wanted a little Paella.
Cut up a quarter of an onion, 1/2 cup celery and about 2 TBL of cilantro
Put it all in a small saute pan in melted butter to meld flavors and tenderize the veges.
Added this mixture to the rice cooker that had enough rice for two and a couple of pinches of saffron and one of salt. Did not start the rice cooker yet.
I had been steaming gulf shrimp with the shell on, frozen clams in the shell, and frozen black shell mussels. I took some of the broth and added some of the broth to the rice. I then filled the rest of the appropriate amount of water to the rice cooker and turned it on.
I did add one can of drained diced tomatoes after the rice was finished. I tossed the gorgeous yellow saffroned rice with the seafood in a huge white bowl. Big D was more than impressed! Success with an easier Paella! Leftovers enough for today!
To the purists of Paella, no I did not use Olive Oil. No I did not use rabbit, or chicken. I like a seafood Paella. I did not cook it over a wood burning fire. Nope, no peas either. Nope no red peppers either. But it was so good and we liked it!Cooking with Rockymentohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17578963412929391703noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256599256291360606.post-17306100954715063302012-01-15T11:53:00.001-08:002012-01-15T11:53:44.594-08:00Smoked turkey chiliI had a smoked turkey breast...I wanted chili...I cut up a half of red onion, chopped up the smoked turkey breast. Melted 2 Tblsp of butter. Added 2 Tblsp of garlic and the chopped up onion, one can of hatch chopped chilies and the turkey, with salt to taste. Now here is the cheater part part...I added 7 cups of water and brought it a boil with cilantro and one can of green enchilada sauce. Brought it to a boil and then added one can of drained kidney beans and a pkg of darn good chili mix. After it has simmered for about 20 minutes.
