Is Home-Cooking on the rise? Shared Recipes

Self ^ | Self

[Cvengr]

After cooking more at home during supposed "Lock-downs", I've begun catching up on cataloging all the family recipes from several generations, including newspaper and package clippings from the 30s.

Curious if others are all sensing a resurgence in home-cooking from scratch.

Can't find an older Quiche Lorraine recipe.

Maybe we can exchange recipes.

I'll start with a simple classic the kids and from our youth, we always enjoyed, Beef Stroganoff.

CHOPPED BEEF STROGANOFF

Ingredients:

1 pound Hamburger Meat.

1 Medium Onion, Diced.

1 Stalk Celery

1/2 cup Sliced Water Chestnuts

1/4 teaspoon Bouquet Garni for Beef

1 - Beef Bullion Cube, crushed

1 - 3oz can Button Mushrooms/liquid

1 - 10.5oz can Cream of Mushroom Soup, Undiluted (Campbell's)

1 cup Sour Cream

3 1/2 cups cooked rice (1 cup uncooked rice)

Saute chopped beef in mderately hot skillet until beef loses red color.

Add Vegetables and Water Chestnuts and continue to cook until vegetables are limp.

Stir in seasonings, mushrooms and soup.

Simmer until all ingredients are heated and blended.

Just before serving, stir in sour cream and heat, but do not boil.

Serve over hot rice.

Serves 4-6.

Note: 1/4 t dried dill may be substituted for Bouquet Garni (Spice Islands).

Yes it is- I’ve had to learn how to cook, and here’s what i’ve learned so far, which I’m happy to share

Step 1: Boil Water

Step 2: Drop Bullion cube into water

Step 3: Let cool somewhat

Step 4: Enjoy

OPtional Step: Butter a slice of bread, and eat alongside the bullion soup

Other than that- I’m lost-

Does the pope wear a funny hat?

A lot of folks eat out a lot - or did. Now they either prepare their own meals, wait in drive through lines for marginal food, or starve to death.

Started a batch of 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough on 4-14. So far I’ve made English Muffins, waffles, pancakes and given a couple of starts away.
Does anyone need a start?

If you dropped that bullion cube in your beer you could save yourself a lot of trouble.

The grandkids have been having a feast at the house.
Surprisingly the favorite old recipe has been Fried Cabbage and Noodles w/kielbasa

I have never failed to find a recipe I was looking for on YouTube. Always some Julia Child wannabe putting on a show will have produced whatever it is you are looking for.

Here's my *sauce for steak, salmon, or pork. All quantities are "to taste."

mayonnaise (about one or two tablespoons per person)

Tajin Mexican seasoning

McCormick's Smokehouse Maple seasoning

Lemon-pepper seasoning

Wright's Liquid Smoke

Use milk, cream, or water to thin to desired consistency.

*Notice to suspicious people: I do not own stock in any of the companies mentioned in this recipe.

On the technology side, I like the Paprika app on my iPad for storing favorite recipes. It’s good at sucking in recipes from all the major recipe sites.

Food Network is my first go-to site for most things, have gotten a lot of good recipes from there.

I made some from-scratch whole wheat hamburger buns yesterday. Here’s the recipe I used for those; I was pretty pleased with the results:

>> A lot of folks eat out a lot - or did

Yeah, that was us, for sure. Fortunately I’m also a decent home cook. I just do a whole lot more of it.

I’m sure heartburn and Rolaids sales are on the rise.

There’s a great guy on YouTube, Daddy Jack. His channel is called Cooking With the Blues. He just did a Quiche Lorraine recently.

I’ve been on the Kamado Grill a lot..

Pulled Pork - 4-6lb port shoulder, bone in our bone out is fine, keep temperature at 225-250, cook until internal temperature of meat rises to 195 degrees. Thermometer required...

Once done, wrap in aluminum foil and be allowed to cool for 45 to 60 minutes...

Shred appropriately....

Best ever Banana (nut) bread.
1 cp Sugar (Splenda for a low cal treat)
1 cp Flour
1 tsp Bkg soda
1/2 tsp Salt
3 Lg super ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cp butter flavored crisco
OPTIONAL: 1 cp total - nuts, raisins, dried cranberries/cherries

1) Mix dry stuff: Sugar, flour, soda, salt.
2) Mix wet stuff: Melt shortening in microwave (about 30seconds). Combine shortening, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well with a fork.
3) Combine 1 & 2 and mix well. **You’ll think it’s too dry but its not.
4) Mash up bananas, stir well with fork and pour into above mix and stir up well.
5) Add 1cup chopped walnuts. Or equivalent of white raisins and dried cranberries. **You can get creative here.
6) Spray non-stick (Pam) a bread pan and pour in mix.
7) Bake at 350deg for exactly 1hour.
8) Let cool (about 45min). Spread cream cheese icing on top for a few hundred extra calories.

**Your house will smell delicious**

1 tsp vanilla or 50:50 vanilla/almond extract
