    It's homemade pizza time! 

    Made my own dough yesterday, let it refrigerate for 24 hours, then used my homemade sauce from last weekend. Topped with blended Italian cheese, pepperoni, banana peppers on the left side, hot cherry peppers on the right.

    Like Italian heaven! 

    For those of you who might never or recently had a true homemade Italian pizza or one from a real Italian pizzeria  they look like Dutch's picture -or- like one from Grimaldi's Pizza from NJ he sent us in October.

    They are NOT like the cookie cutter national franchise joints.

    The taste and smell are PRICELESS !        (Hungry for a pizza now?)

    Oh yeah my mother cooked for 8 for years with the old pressure cooker, my grandmother cooked and canned everything you can imagine with pressure cooker and cast iron.  It's fast and a good way to make some family or GAMEDAY meals.

    I always loved my mother's roast beef meals, here's something to get you started from the BEEF, it's what's for dinner people. There are some great dishes there guys!

    Whether you're a beginning cook or an old pro in the backyard or in the kitchen it's worth checking out.  😉

    WILD MUSHROOM BEEF STEW

    INGREDIENTS:

    • 2 pounds beef Stew Meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1/4 cup tomato paste
    • 1/4 cup dry red wine
    • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

    • 8 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini and oyster, cut into quarters
    • 1 cup baby carrots
    Garnish:

    COOKING:

    1. Combine beef Stew Meat, flour, salt, thyme and pepper in large bowl; toss to coat. Place beef mixture in 4-1/2 to 5-1/2-quart slow cooker.
    2. Combine broth, tomato paste, wine and garlic in small bowl; mix well. Add broth mixture to beef. Add potatoes, mushrooms and carrots; mix well.
    3. Cover and cook on HIGH 5 to 6 hours, or on LOW 8 to 9 hours, or until beef and vegetables are tender. (No stirring is necessary during cooking.) Stir well before serving. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
    ALTERNATE COOKING METHOD:
    1. This recipe can be made in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker. Combine beef Stew Meat, flour, salt, thyme and pepper in large bowl; toss to coat. Place beef in pressure cooker. Combine broth, tomato paste, wine and garlic in small bowl; mix well. Add broth mixture to beef. Cut potatoes into 2-inch pieces or, if smaller, keep whole.

Use quick-release feature to release pressure; carefully remove lid. Stir well before servings. Garnish with parsley, if desired. (This recipe variation was tested in an electric pressure cooker at high altitude. Cooking at an altitude of less than 3000 feet may require slightly less cooking time. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.).

    WILD MUSHROOM BEEF STEW

    The problem with wild mushroom beef stew is catching them. You have to have your traps set with exactly the right bait in a similar manner to catching rabbits for wild jackrabbit stew.??

    Or you can do what we do and go to our local Giant Eagle or Rulli's Italian grocery store.  At one time where we used to live long ago surrounded by woods and lakes we could hunt for real wild mushrooms but that's too much work now.

    Besides it calls for some easy to find mushrooms but you can use what you like.  I like shitakies or portabellos in most mushroom dishes.

  • This is what we are having for our Sunday GAMEDAY MEAL my wife is out picking up a few things like half & half and we're almost out of Italian seasoning.  We are lucky to have a Giant Eagle for meats and deli food, etc, Aldi's, Marc's and a real gem Rulli's which is a smaller but loaded local Italian grocery store for lunch meat and cheese (they sell tons of it) and prepared food, spices and about anything else you need for cooking or baking.    Two locations just ask any Boardman/Austintown area local about it. Oh all within 3 miles of our house.

    BAKED PARMESAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES  - I haven't done a recipe in awhile.  We've had recipes similar to this in the past.

    INGREDIENTS

    6 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on, optional)

    1 pound baby Dutch potatoes, halved or quartered (or any on hand like redskins)

    3-4 cups baby spinach, chopped. (we're using chopped spinach we had)

    4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

    1 tablespoon Italian seasoning  (optional but good if you like Italian!)

    Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

    Fresh parsley, optional

    Sauce:

    1 cup low-sodium chicken broth. (we prefer regular chicken broth)

    1/2 cup half and half

    1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated. (we have shredded on hand)

    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

    1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    4 cloves garlic, minced

    1 teaspoon dried thyme

    1 teaspoon dried basil

    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

    PREPARATION

    Preheat oven to 400º F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sauté spinach until just wilted. Remove from heat.

    For the sauce: lower heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn.

    Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, or until roux is thick and golden brown, then slowly whisk in chicken broth until incorporated.

    Stir in parmesan cheese and half-and-half, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until thickened, then stir in thyme, basil and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.

    Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and Italian seasoning and place in baking dish.

    Place chicken thighs skin side up in your greased baking dish, then top with sauteéd spinach and halved potatoes. Top with cream sauce, then place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

    Optional: broil for final 5 minutes, or until skin is crispy, if not already seared.

    Remove from oven and serve hot.

    I was thinking of you yesterday mjp, was driving through your old stomping grounds of Niles for the first time in years. 

    Niles McKinley class of 1968 !   Used to have some great unique restaurants on the strip, some now replaced by franchises, too bad. (But they have an Indians A baseball team!)

  • Made a fresh pot of my famous green beans cooked with cherrywood smoked think cut bacon that has been semi-fried before inclusion. Now all I have to do today is think of some dish to go with them. Been thinking maybe chicken tenders baked in a basil & leftover cabernet sauce with just a hint of blackberry jam added in to baste it with. And now that my gastroenterologist has cleared me to resume consumption, think I'll have a nice small glass of cabernet port by Deaver Vineyards of Amador County, Californicate to go with it.??

    The first time I had my homemade wild blackberry jam with baked chicken - it was an amazing combination. Which reminds me, on Christmas vacation with our friends in NC, we had banana pudding. Normally, I don't care much for the stuff. But this recipe had cream cheese in it, and it was amazing - the texture was like the very best coconut cream pie. Now I forget where they got the recipe. It rocked for dessert.

        Yesterday, cooked a nice small pot roast in the 2 qt pressure cooker - then cooked it a bit more with cut up potatoes, carrots....

    Some fresh ground 4 pepper mix, salt... that was excellent. Only took about a half hr. Amazing. (browned big cut ups of roast in skillet before pc)

    That reminds me that my wife wants me to make my other famous recipe for Key Lime Pie. I use real key limes, but they are hard as rocks compared to the regular ones and hand squeezing out that much juice gave both hands cramps. So I got smart from then on. I cut them in half and put them in the microwave to warm them up decently and then use one of those hinged metal nutcrackers to leverage the juice right out. Easy peasy. Makes for a really good and really fresh Key Lime Pie rather than using store bought lime juice in a bottle.

    Another good way for you to get the juice out of key limes is when squeezing them, for you to think of Derrick Henry. 

    Those things will be dry as a bone in no time. ?

    I would not be able to catch them just like the LBs he runs by can't catch him either.?

    BTW I ate a lot of shit here for his first 2 1/2 years. This is my turn to say"I told you so MFers!", so I'm milkin' it for all it's worth. Run Derrick, Run!?
