Yummy Broccoli Casserole

by Mary's Country Kitchen2014-12-29

Broccoli is a fiber find. Not only is it a rich source, but half of its fiber is insoluble and half is soluble, helping to meet your needs for both types of fiber. But the story doesn’t end with broccoli’s rich array of nutrients. Broccoli provides a health bonus in the form of protective substances that may shield you from disease. Botanically, broccoli belongs to the cabbage family, collectively known as cruciferous vegetables.
Recipe:
1 pound of fresh broccoli
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayo,or can use sour cream
1 stick butter
1/2 to 1 cup cheese (I use cheddar or .American)
1 egg
Start by cooking broccoli  Drain
While hot, add all ingredients, pour all into a buttered casserole dish and add crushed Ritz crackers on top bake 350 for about 40 min. Yummy

Best Bbq Sauce

T

This yummy bbq  sauce is good for pork or chicken

It is our favorite recipe we  have used for several years

1 1/2 cups water

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 stick butter

1 small onion chopped

2 tablespoons mustard

2 tbsp. vinegar

1 1/2 cups catsup

4 tbsp. lemon juice

3 good dashes of Worcestershire sauce

Hot sauce to taste  

Mix first six ingredients in a saucepan and  bring to a boil and turn down to simmer for about 20 min.

Add catsup and rest of ingredients  and simmer until mixture cooks down and thickens about 30 to 45 minutes

Left over sauce will keep in refrigerator for  2 weeks. It is a good one to make ahead of time if your planning a cookout. I like to start thinking about doing summer things this time of year. I get ready for spring and planning some good vegetables and flowers, My husband plants lots of sunflowers every year all around where they can be seen from every window. They are so beautiful.   Please follow on WordPress  http://mwilliams6337@wordpress.com .

Mom’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake

 

This is a perfect dessert, it can be served so many different ways. They are good plain, with a drizzle of glace or icing if you prefer.  Summer time it goes really well with oven roasted peaches or nectarines with some whipping cream or scoop of ice cream. Add berries or  butter slices  and lightly toast in oven.  There is only my husband and myself so when I make one I like to freeze half of it. It freezes well.
Ingredients
3 sticks pure butter
3 cups cake flour
3 cups sugar
1 lg. pkg. cream cheese
6 lg. eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
 mix together in a mixing bowl the butter, sugar and cream cheese, mix these together well and add eggs that have been slightly beaten. Add flour  a little a time and blend well, add vanilla   Pour into a grease and floured Bundt pan and bake in preheated oven at 325 for about one hour. check at 35 to 40 min. cooking time varies with every stove, when done let sit on cooling rack for 10 minutes before turning out.

Pork lion Chops

Delicious Country Brasied Pork Loin Chops

 

Braising is a good choice of cooking method for cuts of meat that are tougher or from older animals. The connective tissues that are more prevalent in cuts like this, and which can make meats tough and chewy when improperly cooked, are slowly dissolved through long, slow application of moist heat . So you end up with a tender piece of meat. 

Ingredients   
6 boneless loin chops
2 tablespoons veg. oil
 1-1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 chopped onion and 1/2 lg bell pepper or 1 sm.
dried thyme,salt, pepper, paprika,garlic powder
red wine vinegar
Dry chops, make a rub with the last 5 ingredients. let set 15 to 20 minutes to get room temp,and dry .
add veg. oil to iron skillet or a casserole dish (oven Proof) Brown chops on both sides. Take out of skillet.   Add chopped onion and peppers and cook about 5 min. add about 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar, stir to get the yummy off the bottom and add chops back to skillet on top of onions and peppers, add enough beef broth to just come 1/2 way of chops ( do not cover with broth)  Have oven heated to 300 degrees. cover  top of skillet or casserole dish tightly, so  all the steam stays in. I cover with foil and add a lid on top. bake for one and a half hours. check for tenderness if needed bake another 30 min. They will be moist and tender and  when serving spoon broth in skillet over the chops. it is also Fab with mashed potatoes.

Favorite Black Eye Peas

by Mary's Country Kitchen2015-01-02

One cup of cooked black-eyed peas, or cowpeas, has 160 calories and negligible fat. Their 5 grams of protein represents 9 percent of the recommended daily intake for men and 11 percent for women. As with all legumes, black-eyed peas are especially good sources of soluble fiber, which helps prevent type 2 diabetes by keeping blood sugar balanced after you eat. Soluble fiber also binds to cholesterol and carries it out of the body. Men get 21 percent of their daily intake of fiber, while women get 32 percent from 1 cup of black-eyed peas.
Ingredients
2 cans black eye peas
1 sm. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 can rotel tomatoes
Drain and rinse peas
pour into 2 tbsp. olive oil for healthier or  2 tablespoons bacon grease   add onion cook a couple min. add peas and garlic if you like. add the tomatoes and time and enough water  almost to top or extra flavor use chicken broth. Cook  low until everything is cooked and add salt and pepper if desired. Very Good.
