Jenny's Fried Rice

 

Canola oil
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced Garlic
2 tablespoons minced Ginger
1 bunch chopped Green Onion
4 strips of cooked Bacon, crumbled
4 cups cooked, day-old long grain Rice
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste

 

In a wok or large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil and quickly soft-scramble the eggs. Remove the eggs. In the same pan, coat with oil and stir-fry garlic and ginger. Add onions and bacon. Add rice and mix thoroughly. Add soy sauce, white pepper and scrambled eggs. Check for seasoning. Serve immediately.

 

I have also used a very good Fried Rice seasoning packet from Sun-Bird, distributed by Williams, Inc. in place of the ginger and the garlic. You can also use ham or pork instead of the bacon.

 

David's Seafood Boil

 

Old Bay Seasoning to taste

 beer

 

Heat a large pot of water over an outdoor cooker, or medium-high heat indoors. Add Old Bay Seasoning to taste, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, and sausage, and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the corn and crab; cook for another 5 minutes, then add the shrimp when everything else is almost done, and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes.

 

Drain off the water, and pour the contents out onto a picnic table covered with newspaper. Grab a paper plate and a beer and enjoy! This is another dish that's ripe for hot bread and a salad with Atomic Dressing!

                                                                                                             

Jenny's Chile Relleno Bake Casserole

 

Lauren loves Chile Rellenos - but the 'real thing' is sure a pain to make! This is a good substitute, and much, much easier.

 

2 4 oz cans of whole Chiles

6 oz Monterey Jack Cheese

4 Eggs, beaten

C Milk

½ tsp Salt

½ tsp Baking Soda

½ C All-Purpose Flour

½ C Cheddar Cheese, grated

 

Drain the peppers and cut in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Cut  Monterey Jack cheese into strips and wrap in pepper halves. Place in greased 10"X6"X2" baking dish.

 

Combine eggs, milk; beat in flour, baking soda and salt until smooth. Pour over peppers and cheese.

 

Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbling. Served with refried beans, hot tortillas and a salad - and maybe some fresh salsa with chips! - and El Chico ain't got nothin' on you.

 

Mable's Pot Roast

 

This is about the easiest, tastiest pot roast you can make.

 

1 roast - 7 bone, chuck, whatever

1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (the kind you usually use to make onion dip)

2 C Water

 

Put roast in crock pot. Mix onion soup with water and pour over roast. Cook on high 'til noon, turn heat to low.

 

You can add some carrots and potatoes, too, for a 'meal in a pot' that's ready when you get home from work - or that's ready at the end of any long day.
