Hot Hamburger
Some call it Salisbury steak, my husband calls it Hot Hamburger. However, we both call it delicious and so will you! It's a quick and easy weeknight meal. This is an S invention. I always thought it was Salisbury Steak, but he INSISTS that is made WITH STEAK not hamburger. *shrug* There are some battles you just don't fight....just sayin. So, last night was supposed to be one of the nights we were going to start hitting the treadmill to build up our … [Read more...]
Herbed Pork with Sauteed Wild Mushrooms
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, July 2002 Yeah, I'm a blogger slacker! This was okay. The picture looks better than I thought it was going to taste. I used Penzeys Chicago Steak Seasoning. I think it was a little overpowering. I didn't get to taste the mushrooms all that much. The sauce was just that...sauce. I thought the mushrooms would add more flavor to it, but they didn't really. I don't know if I'd make this again. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Large nonstick … [Read more...]
Boneless Pork Chops With Mushrooms & Thyme
Click here for recipe EatingWell: August/September 2005 It was pork marsala with mustard. Pretty good! Except, I didn't have marsala. I had sherry. It was still pretty good. I had really thick pork chops, so I sliced them in half horizontally to keep the portions down and the cooking time quick. I probably added way more mushrooms than called for, but what can that hurt? They were good. It was easy and I probably will make it again or some version of it Measuring cups and … [Read more...]
Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Sauce
Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Sauce recipe Cooking Light, May 2009 Yeah, I'm not so sure it was "sauce." It was more like cream broth instead of sauce. I would combine some cornstarch with the cream to make it thicken better. Of course, we couldn't find morels so I substituted shiitake mushrooms instead. It was pretty good and we'll probably make it again with those adjustments. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board Large nonstick skillet … [Read more...]
Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms
Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe courtesy Paula Deen These received rave reviews. I think Dad ate most of them. *snort* They were really easy to prepare. I blended the cream cheese with the herbs and it was rather thick. I thinned it out with a little milk so I didn't have to mutilate the crab when I tried to fold it in. It made LOTS of filling. We doubled the recipe to make 20 mushrooms. We made 16 and still have LOTS of stuffing left over. We'll probably make some more tomorrow. Measuring … [Read more...]
