Accepting Requests

My husband had an idea. We were talking over lunch about this here little blog and the fun I have cooking and being creative with food. He said that I should take requests.

If any of you lovely, loyal readers of this blog have a suggestion for a recipe you would like me to make or a request for something you have been hunting for, you should ask me.

So go ahead.  Leave me a comment and I will cook it up, complete with detailed instructions and photos.

Let me throw out one rule though. No mushrooms allowed. I do not touch mushrooms. I'm allergic to them, so that is a household rule set in stone. And I have been asked many, many times if I miss them. Nope. Not at all. I think they taste like dirt or garbage.

Don't be shy now! I already have plans to make apple crisp next week after my daughter's birthday party.  I will be posting the recipe and instructions for the devil's food cake and honey buttercream frosting that I'm going to use for her cake.

Applesauce Ginger Cake (Like Starbucks Holiday Gingerbread)

Added Feb. 19, 2016: Dear Readers, I've seen my recipe get reposted by a lot of different websites, and subsequently pinned on Pinterest, since I published this in 2011. Please give proper attribution. It hurts my heart that so many other bloggers are pirating my content and claiming it as their own. If you'd like to re-use this, just ask! I appreciate you all. Just remember, we are all people with feelings and families to support. And believe me, Dear Pirate, I noticed when you copied my text, word for word.

Did you know, the gingerbread loaf cake at Starbucks is really pretty good? It's also a bit expensive. You don't always notice the $1.85 when you buy a few drinks. I had to wait a whole year to get my fix, because this treat is only available between Thanksgiving and roughly New Year's. I scoured the Internet last January but didn't find a suitable recipe. I gave up and ate Lemon Pound Cake or Pumpkin Bread.

This gingerbread season, I managed to bu…

Jenny's Pork Schnitzel Recipe

Image
Let me tell you, I have been making this exact schnitzel recipe for years now. Justin and I have taste-tested many iterations to come up with this particular formula. And then one day recently, we went to lunch with Justin's mom to the nearby Olive Garden. Justin ordered their Pork Milanese. We looked at it. We tasted it. We sat there slack-jawed because it was exactly *EXACTLY* (No I'm not exaggerating) the same as I make it.

Crazy huh?

Usually if I want to recreate a restaurant recipe, I google it on the Internet. So anyone who loves OG's breaded pork cutlet, give this a try.

PS Sorry, I have not tried to clone their ravioli that comes with the pork cutlet.

½ cup butter or margarine
2 lemons, cut in wedges
3 T. chopped fresh parsley

Method

Beef Prime Rib Roast

Image
When the carnivore comes out, sometimes you just need a good hunk of beef. To quiet the beast within, I usually go for a steak, a fat and juicy hamburger, or a roast.

We've tried lots of different techniques for cooking, like long and slow, or even in the rotisserie, but for just a good "get 'er done" roast, this recipe is it.

One thing I can't stress enough is using good meat. How do you know good meat from bad meat? If you can get your roast from a reputable butcher, it will be good. If it comes from Wal-Mart, it will probably be tough. Fork out the extra couple bucks for a fresh roast. Don't bother buying the one on sale that's turned a bit brown. It will be stinky to eat.

As for the roast's preparation, it's so nice to have the butcher trim the rib bones off, then tie them back on. One local shop here (that recently went out of business) used to sell roasts with an extra layer of fat wrapped around the outside and seasoned between the layer o…
