With all that life has thrown at us the last couple of months I ne ed to take some  continued time off. Poor hubby is stuck in the kitchen but I help when I can. I’ll still be posting some contributed recipes, but they may be far in a bit far between.

Keep on cookin,

Well I can finally move so I’ll be back in the kitchen soon. Thankfully I only broke a couple ribs and deeply bruised my sternum and shoulder blades. The worst has been the bruising and cracked teeth. So I have more doctor visits and dentist visits in the near future but I’ll survive. My incredible husband took such good care of me. I’ve been down in bed for three weeks and he has done all the cooking and the cleaning and keeping up at the house and taking care of my meds. I couldn’t be more blessed. So look for some new recipes in the near future. I miss you all. Take care.

Hey y’all, sorry I’ve been on such a long break, but I fell down my stairs again and I’m in a tremendous amount of pain. I foolishly chose not to go to the hospital and now it’s a week later and I’m still in so much pain I can barely breathe. We decided to go early in the morning and see if they can’t help with x-rays and doctors and see if we can’t pay down what’s caused all this pain. So my sincere apologies that I haven’t been there for you guys. I’ll be back at the kitchen as soon as the doctor says I can. God bless!

Easy Fast Beef Stew

Serves 4-6 (or 2 hungry bikers)

2-3 lbs stew meat
1 pkg baby carrots, chopped
10 stalks of celery, chopped
1 pkg baby gold potatoes, cut it to quarters
2 pkg kinder pot roast mix
2 pkg brown gravy mix
One loaf of crusty bread

This is a fast easy way to make beef stew. They still come out with an incredible tasting meal.
In a large stock pot add all your vegetables and cover with water put on a high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender.
Meanwhile, in a pan with some oil in it, take your beef stew meat, and spread it out. Sprinkle your kinder seasoning over the top. Stir off until meat is thoroughly browned and begins to tender.
Once vegetables are done for your meat mixture and any juices into the pot. Bring back to a boil and add both packages of brown gravy mix. Stir well to prevent lumps. Allowed to cook 20 minutes and you’re done. Serve with bread.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Serves 4 (or 2 hungry bikers)

4 chicken breasts
2 cups dry rice
1 can cream of chicken soup
Lost to your favorite season salt
5 cups, water or chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 box of fried onions
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat your oven to 350°. Grease a casserole dish or as I used an aluminum pan. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix half your chicken stock or water with your cream of chicken soup and until it becomes completely incorporated. Poured it into your casserole dish then add in your dry rice stir around so everything is nicely covered. Add some of your seasonings and stir well.
Seasoned both sides of your chicken with your favorite seasoning then place into casserole dish on top of rice. Sprinkle the fried onions on top of everything.
Place casserole dish onto an aluminum pan to prevent spillage while cooking. It’s not necessary but I like a clean oven. Bake for 1 hour then remove and sprinkle cheese evenly over all four pieces of chicken. Been returned to oven for another 15 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Removed from oven and allow a cool 10 minutes then serve. Enjoy!

More comfort food needed and split pea hit the spot

Split Pea With Ham

Serves 6-8 (or 3 hungry bikers)

1 bag dried split peas
8 cups chicken stock
Water as needed
1 tbsp season salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup butter
1-2 carrots, diced
1-2 celery stalks, diced
1 med onion, diced
2 lbs ham steaks, diced
Parsley for garnish

In a large bowl place washed peas. Cover with water and allow to soak overnight
Transfer peas to a crockpot and turn to high. Add chicken stock and allow to heat to boiling then reduce to med or low and set aside
In a sauté pan melt butter and add in all veggies. Cook till tender then add to crock along with seasonings. Stir well. Allow to cook 4 hrs
Once peas begin to soften add in 3/4 diced ham reserving 1/4 cup for presentation.
Continue to cook for 4 more hours adding more chicken stock or water to be sure peas are completely covered with at least an inch of liquid
Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed. Peas will soak up salt so taste and adjust often throughout cooking process
Serve when peas have completely softened. Ladle to bowls adding a few chunks of ham and some parsley to top. I do this because sometimes the ham loses flavor into the soup and get super soft. This way you can get a nice salty bite of ham. And let’s be real the parsley is just for color 😆
Enjoy with some nice crunchy bread

It’s been a crazy couple weeks. Friends passed, chemo week, and life just seemed out of control so I needed a break and some good old comfy food. This is one of my favorites

Cheesy Spinach, Potato, and Chicken Soup

Serves 6 (or 3 hungry bikers)

2 lg chicken breasts, diced
1/2 bacon, diced
1 lb little golden potatoes, diced
1 can French onion soup
1 sml pkg velveeta cheese, diced
2 pkg chicken gravy mix
4 cups chicken stock
1 lb raw spinach, chopped
1/8 cup (or to taste) kinder buttered steak seasoning (or you favorite seasoning like salt, pepper, garlic powder,onion powder etc)

In a soup pot render down bacon with chicken then drain off excess grease. Add remaining ingredients at store over a medium heat until it comes to a very low boil. Cook approximately two hours until potatoes are for tender that serve with nice crunchy French bread. It’s a very simple soup but there’s a very tasty soup. Definitely comfort food.

Ps all this could be cooked in a crockpot for 4 to 6 hours or in an Insta pot for about 30 minutes

In the same pan add 1 tbsp oil and the mushrooms, cook till tender, remove from heat and set aside In a medium bowl, mix together cooked onions, garlic, salt, pepper and very cold ground beef.

Divide meat mix into 4 equal parts then each pat gently shape into patties, slightly thicker on the outside
Lightly brush the grill or pan with oil and heat to high – I mean really HOT
Place each patty on the grill or into the pan (you should heat a good sizzle sound if its hot enough) and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip over and cook the other side for a couple of minutes cooking to the level you like
Just before they are done, spoon mushrooms on each burger and cover with a slice of swiss cheese
Allow it to begin melting but don’t over melt while in the pan or on the grill or the topping may slide off lol
