Stromboli

So, do you  ever feel like you are losing your mind?  I do.  More often than I would like to admit, in fact.  I was certain that I had posted a recipe for Stormboli on my blog sometime last year.  I remember taking the pictures and everything.  However, when I looked for the recipe, it was nowhere to be found!  I even did a search and turned up nothing. Consequently, when I made Stromboli the other day, I decided to take new pictures and waste no time getting them posted.  I make this at least once for supper during the harvest season because it is so good and easy to eat while driving machinery.  Stromboli is a great, easy meal that you can customize to your family's tastes.  I put pepperoni on one half for my spice-loving little guy, and ham on the other half for my girls.  Feel free to experiment with your favorite pizza toppings on this one! Here's the recipe: Stromboli 1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed ...

Apple Pie Pockets

We are getting ready to make some harvest meals next week, which means that everything needs to be able to be eaten with one hand while operating machinery. One of my husband's favorite desserts is apple pie, so I wanted to make apple pie that could be eaten on the go. I combined a couple of recipes that I found on the web to come up with these tasty little treats. Here's the recipe: Apple Pie Pockets 1 recipe Aunt Joyce's Pie Crust 2 1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and finely chopped 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1 tablespoon flour Approximately 2 tablespoons butter 1 egg white, beaten 2 tablespoons water cinnamon sugar While you are waiting for the oil and water to cool for the pie crust, mix sugar, spices, and flour together in a bowl. Add apples and mix well. Roll out dough between wax paper and cut out circles of dough. I used a plastic container that was nearly five inches in diameter to cut mine out.   I put...

Shredded Beef Sandwiches

Fall, to me, is the beginning of "slow cooker" season.  With all the fun pins I am seeing on Pinterest, I'm itching to get my crockpot out several times a week.  This recipe is one that my whole family enjoys!  I have adapted it from a Taste of Home recipe.  I like to make a big batch--we use half and then freeze the leftovers for another time.  The taste is slightly different than barbequed beef, and it turns out very moist and delicious.  My kids love them on homemade buns with cheese and pickles.  See here  for the recipe I use for the buns.  Instead of making 12 rolls, I make about 10 buns and adjust the baking time a bit longer.  Super quick and easy, too! Since I have been trying to cut down on my carbs (it's been taking a while to get the baby weight off!), I just ate the beef plain, and it was very satisfying.  Here's the recipe: Shredded Beef Sandwiches 1 12 ounce can cola 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 4 ga...
