Today I have a simple recipe great for cold weather days.

This is a sweet and salty dish that reminded my Mom of Chinese food, like sweet and sour. Also, despite its numerous ingredients, it is actually pretty simple to make. Here is what you
need:

1 pound fully cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
¹⁄₂cup beef broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¹⁄₄teaspoon garlic powder
¹⁄₄teaspoon black pepper
1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, undrained
2 tablespoons cornstarch
hot cooked rice

Alright, so first you need drain the pineapple chunks, but keep the juice. Next, cook the sausage, onion, and green pepper together in a skillet (large enough to hold all ingredients) until onion is translucent.

Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch and reserved pineapple juice until smooth. When the meat mixture is ready, add the tomatoes, broth, brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, and pineapple chunks into sausage mixture. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.

That is it! Now the sausage is ready. While you are cooking this, you might also want to cook some rice to put this on top.

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with sn...
