I got this recipe off of cookingclassy.com but modified it a bit. So, in terms of texture, this meat was awesome. It also tasted good, but I didn't like the vegetables as much. However, the method is awesome. You need AT LEAST 8 hours on low if you want it to shred easily. Crock Pot Roast  1 large onion chuck roast (mine was a small 1.5 lb. roast) 5-6 large carrots, cut into smaller portions 6 red potatoes, cut into smaller portions 1 celery stick I will leave this out next time 4 cloves garlic I am using garlic powder next time 1/3 cup red wine 1/3 cup beef broth 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper Italian seasoning from the grinder So, here is what I did. I seared the roast in a cast iron skillet coated in olive oil and heated high (you pat the roast dry and put salt and pepper on it). Then, I put that in the crockpot. Then, I put the onions in some oil and cooked those until they started to brown. I deglazed the pan with the liquid, and then poured this over the roast. I...

This is a good recipe and not as time-consuming as other Bolognese recipes I've seen. I took Scout to  a Harmon's cooking class a few years ago, and this is one of the recipes the chef had them make (her name was Chef Freyka). Anyway,  it gets a 7.5. 1 oz. dried porcini mushrooms I left these out and just added 1 tsp. of Trader Joes Unami mix 2 oz. pancetta I usually leave this out and add olive oil instead 1 onion, diced small 4 bay leaf 4 TBS garlic, minced 1 carrot, minced 1 lb ground beef 2 TBS dry oregano 2 TBS dried parsley 1/2 C. port wine I just use a basic red wine 4 TBS tomato paste 4 C. tomato sauce 2 BS balsamic vinegar 2 BS fresh oregano, finely chopped 2 TBS Italian parsley, finely chopped 2 TBS sugar, options I leave this out Soak the mushrooms in water and set aside. The cook pancetta until some of the fat renders. When it's cooked but not crispy, add bay leaves and the onion. Cool onions over low heat until they are transparent and caramelized. Stir in ga...

  This was fine but not great, which was surprising. I thought the mascarpone would make it more creamy, but it instead just gave the ice cream a tangy taste, almost like I had added yogurt. Boo. I'm to the point where I think any good peach ice cream needs to have jello in it, so I'll probably add that next time. This came from Fine Cooking and gets a 6. 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup granulated sugar Table salt 5 large egg yolks 1-1/2 lb. fresh peaches (or 1-1/3 lb. frozen), peeled, pitted, cooked to soften, and pureed 1 cup mascarpone Here's the link:  https://www.finecooking.com/recipe/peach-mascarpone-ice-cream

 So, this was fine. It just wasn't amazing, so I'm not even going to give many details, but here is what did not work well:  3 cups half and half 1 cup cream 1/2 cup sugar (don't go less than this) 1 1/2 lbs. peaches, peeled and pureed dash salt 1 Tbs. vanilla 6 egg yolks The best peach ice cream I personally have tasted came from my neighbor, Tori Spainhower. Here is the very vague recipe she gave us: 3 cups sugar                                                                 1 quart cream 3 peaches sliced into little cubes ½ package orange or peach jell-o                  ...

 Stefani hates this meal. Like with a passion. She says Mormons just throw in everything but the kitchen sink into the bowl and call it dinner. I actually like this. I use Rebecca's recipe she had growing up, and it would be even better with some sour cream. I don't make these very often, usually once a year, but my kids like them a lot. Hawaiian Haystacks   1 T. butter                                                                    1/3 cup onion 1 clove garlic sometimes I double 1/2 tsp. powder instead   Saute, then add:   ¾ cup cold chicken broth mixed with 2 T. cornstarch. Boil, then add 1 cup milk and 1 cup chicken broth. ...

I forgot to get a picture of these, but they look like cute little cheesecake squares drizzled in caramel and topped with chopped snickers.  These were good. I like them and I think they are an 8.

  I originally got this recipe from Melissa years ago and have always liked it. I made up a dipping sauce with guacamole, sour cream, garlic powder, lime juice, onion powder and parsley and will probably do that again. These get a 7. 2 cups frozen corn                                                         9 oz. package frozen chopped spinach I leave this out        1 cup Monterey jack cheese,    7 oz. can diced green chiles, drained 4 green onions, chopped                                      ...
