EwE - Mushroom Sloppy Joes

-


We LOVE sloppy joes!   But these are so much better than those you make with a canned sauce.  And they are easy to prepare and quick.  Not to mention they only have good ingredients in them and not all the chemicals and preservatives the canned ones have.  

You can access Ellie's recipe in her Weeknight Wonders book

Or, this is how I made them.  We wanted some meat in ours so I added ground turkey.  So good I can hardly wait to eat the leftoverss tonight!

Brown one lb of ground turkey.  Add one onion chopped and one bell pepper chopped.  Cook these for a few minutes until soft before adding to turkey.  Add two cloves of garlic, one T. Apple cider vinegar, one T. Chili powder, two T. Sugar, one can drained pinto beans, one cup chopped mushrooms, one 15 oz. tomato sauce, one T. Tomato paste.   Simmer for fifteen minutes,  enjoy!

Hi Peggy, I made these as per the recipe (no meat!), and was surprised by how tasty they were. Opened my eyes to something I would never have chosen alone.

Okay, I'm catching up a bit posting some old recipes from EwE that I missed and going around commenting on the ones I am posting because I am late to the date. Sigh. Anyway, your sloppy joes look really good with the ground turkey, very nice photo! I loved them just as she wrote it so I am thinking this is a success here for me. Sometimes I just like to have a meatless meal. I thought this was a great pick, thanks for helping me find a new favorite. :-)

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
