Recipe By : Real Food for Real People
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bread Makers Breads
O.A.M.C.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup Dehydrated Onion Flakes
3 1/3 cups Flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Dry Milk
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 3/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
OR 2 1/2 tsp. Quick Acting Dry Yeast

wet ingredients to add later:
1 1/8 cups Warm Water
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Place onion flakes in a small zip baggie and set aside. Do the same with yeast,
or set aside a prepackaged envelope of yeast.

Mix and place the remaining ingredients into a quart sized jar. Lay baggies of
onions and yeast on top of mix and place lid on jar.

Use scissors to cut a 9 inch-diameter circle from fabric of your choice. Center
fabric circle over lid and secure with a rubber band. Tie on a raffia or ribbon bow to
cover the rubber band. Attach a card with the following directions:

1-1/8 cups Warm Water (110 degrees F)
1 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil

Place all wet ingredients into the bread pan in the order recommended by your
bread maker manufacturer. Insert the bread pan into the bread maker, and select
"White", desired crust color, rapid or normal baking cycle and loaf size. Select
desired delay option, and press Start.

You should store these mixes in a cool, dry place just as you would store the
pre-packaged mixes you can purchase in the stores.

Kaylin,
I need recipes for Barley and Lentils. My husband was given 25 pounds of each and I honestly don't know what to do with them except give them to the food pantry. If anyone has any tried and true recipes, please submit them for me, I would be very thankful.

Judy in Florida

I was wondering if anyone had a good quick meatball recipe. That you cook and add to spaghetti sauce or BBQ sauce? Thanks!

Vicki

I'll be taking my son and friends to a "Pick Your Own" orchard to pick blackberries and blueberries. He wants to make blackberry jam, but I've never made jam of any kind! Am looking for recipes and guidance on how long it will keep, etc. Thanks!

Sharon in Houston

This is for Venice who was looking for rice cooker recipes. I have a dear friend from Jamaica who cooks extensively with her rice cooker. Here are a few ideas she has inspired me with.

Rice Cooker Paella

Use V8 juice and or chicken broth for liquid then add appropriate amount of rice for liquid. (I have a large family and a large rice cooker so scale down as you need to.) Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes to taste. Add saffron or curry powder to taste. Salt and pepper to taste. Add sautéed onion and kielbasa, bacon, or Proscutto (amount will vary depending on amount of rice ~ I have a large family and use 1/2 cup onion and 3/4 cup bacon.) Add about 2 cups any combo of frozen corn, frozen peas, artichoke, grape tomatoes, etc. Add left over cooked chicken, canned chicken, and/or add frozen scallops (small) or shrimp once rice is cooked.
Stir in and put on warm for a few minutes or run a short cook cycle to warm up seafood.

Mexican Variation

Use V8 juice as liquid
Add appropriate amount of rice for liquid
Add 1 can black beans
Add 1 cup frozen corn
Add 1 tsp cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste

Chinese Variation

Use chicken broth for liquid with appropriate amount of rice. Add 1 bag of stir fry vegetables with seasoning pack or use your favorite oriental seasoning. Add 1 small can of water chestnuts. Add cooked chicken cubes (canned or frozen is fine). Cook. Stir in Cashews before serving.

As you can tell I tend to use recipes as rough guidelines, hope these help anyway!

First, let me say how grateful I am that Kaylin has persevered and got this ezine back on track!! And, Diane was asking about stuffed peppers. This is a bit different, using no rice, but it is our family favorite.

Stuffed Peppers

4 large blocky green peppers, cut the tops off, remove seeds and membrane, rinse and drain. I save the tops, and sometimes a bit cut off the bottoms, for salads.

1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup cottage cheese (I use small curd, low fat)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 egg
1 tsp garlic salt, and 1/2 tsp seasoned pepper

Mix this until combined, and divide evenly among peppers. Make sure the filling is firmly packed into pepper shells. Cut each stuffed pepper crosswise into about 1" pieces.. (I usually get three rounds from each pepper). Lay them in a baking pan, 9 x 13 works well. Stir 1 Tb Worcestershire Sauce, 1/2 tsp each dried thyme and oregano into a 15 oz can of tomato sauce. Pour this evenly over pepper rounds. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Spoon 2 Tb sour cream on each round and return to oven for 5 minutes. Serves 4

Spicy Stuffed Peppers

Recipe By : June Meisel
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Casseroles Ground Beef
Main Dishes Microwave

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 green bell peppers
6 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup salsa
8 ounces tomato sauce
chopped onion
chopped green bell pepper
2/3 cup instant rice -- uncooked
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Wash, core and seed green peppers. Place in microwave safe dish with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 6 to 8 minutes; drain.  In a bowl mix remaining ingredients together until well blended. Fill peppers with mixture. Cover; microwave 16 to 18 minutes; turning if microwave doesn't have turntable. Sprinkle with FatFree Parmesan. WW123 - 1 pepper = 3.5 points

This are both very simple, tasty appetizers to cook on the grill or in a smoker.

Smoked Stuffed Jalapeños

12 large jalapeños
8 oz. carton whipped cream cheese
½ package little smoky sausages, cut in half, lengthwise
1 # bacon

Light grill using indirect heat method (on gas grill—only light ½ of the grill). Use wood smoke chips (I used apple).

Slice jalapeños in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds. Stuff with cream cheese.  Place little smoky half on top. Wrap with bacon. The size of piece of bacon will depend on how big your jalapeños are. Secure with toothpick. Place over indirect heat (about 350degrees). Cook until bacon crisp—about ½ hour. I cooked in a grill pan to keep them from falling over. Yummy and not too hot!

Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms

12 Medium Mushrooms, stems removed
Whipped Cream Cheese
1# Bacon
Garlic salt

Light grill using indirect heat method (on gas grill—only light ½ of the grill). Use wood smoke chips (I used apple). Stuff mushrooms with cream cheese, wrap with bacon, top with garlic salt and secure with toothpick. Size of bacon will depend on the size of your mushroom. Place over indirect heat (about 350 degrees).  Cook until bacon is crisp—20-30 minutes. I also put these in a grill pan.

These two can be cooked at the same time. Can also be done in a smoker. Have them ready for when your guests arrive!
