Question: Originally Posted by Sirrahsim Right now I have a ham roast in the crock pot! The recipe calls for a pork roast but I am NOT a fan of the taste of a pork roast at all so I use the precooked ham halves instead This picture does not do it justice. It turns out soooo tender and yummy 3lb pork roast (I use precooked ham halves) 1 large can crushed pineapple with juice 2 to 3 Tbsp brown sugar 2 Tbsp soy sauce 1/2 clove minced garlic 1/4 tsp dried basil about 4 additional ounces of pineapple juice Place roast in slow cooker. Combine all ingredients and pour over ham. Cover and cook 4 hours on high and 4 hours on low. I think it helps to use a spoon to pour some of the liquid up over the meat whenever you happen to wander through the kitchen. If you want gravy to go with it you can remove the meat and use the juices. Measure out the cooking juices, add enough water to make about 1 3/4 cups and pour into a saucepan. In a separate bowl blend about 2Tbsp flour with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Stir flour mixture into the hot cooking juices and bring it all up to a boil. Stir constantly until thickened. I usually heat up a loaf of store bought Hawaiian bread and some sort of veggie to go with it OOO.....that sounds good!! i have tons of pork in the freezer, since we had a pig slaughtered recently, and I am running out of Ideas! That sounds like a great dinner for tomarrow! Answer: I've never made it with a regular pork roast so I can't offer any promises Answer: I tried something last night that turned out really well - flour tortillas for noodle/dumplings! My dad had told me about this. I stewed my chicken as usual with broth, carrots, onions and spices. About 10 minutes before supper - sliced up several flour tortillas and added them to the pot. It came out like Campbells Chicken Noodle soup The tortillas thickened up the broth a bit, too. Answer: Originally Posted by Sirrahsim I've never made it with a regular pork roast so I can't offer any promises I am willing to take chances! besides i have ham and pork! so I am good! I can try it both Ways!! Answer: Originally Posted by sirrahbed I tried something last night that turned out really well - flour tortillas for noodle/dumplings! My dad had told me about this.

Answer: Originally Posted by critter crazy Hmmm..I love anything with tortillas!! how small did you slice them?? I did half of them in thin strips not much bigger than the noodles in canned soup. The rest I cut about as big as a stick of gum - maybe three inches by 1 inch. I liked those better as they stay more chewy They also look more like my homemade noodles which we call "dumplings" in the south. I wonder how it would taste made with corn tortillas? I bet it would be good as long as they don't go back to mush Answer: Originally Posted by sirrahbed I did half of them in thin strips not much bigger than the noodles in canned soup.

I bet it would be good as long as they don't go back to mush Awsome definitely gonna have to try that! yeah the thicker ones sound much better! I dont know about corn totillas, cause like you said, it seems like they would mush up on you?? not sure tho? Answer: I've been sick so I haven't gone out or done much of anything other than going to work. So, I've been cooking - mostly soup. Here's the past 2 night dinners and the Beef Veggie soup was just made for tonight. Homemade Potato Soup
Cut potatoes, onions, and celery to the size you like. Boil potatoes in water. In another pan, sautee onions and celery with 1 stick of butter. When cooked add broth and water. Drain potatoes, add celery/onion/broth mixture. Add milk, salt, and butter to taste. Shred a few carrots over top for color. Chicken Catchatori
Boil boneless chicken breasts until cooked completely. Shred/cut chicken to preferred size. Cook as much rice as needed to serve. Sautee carrots, celery, and onions. Put spaghetti sauce in a frying pan and heat. Once the carrots, celery, and onions are cooked - add to sauce. Add chicken to sauce and let cook all together for about 5 minutes. Plate a bed of rice, scoop on the sauce and chicken. Enjoy! Beef Vegetable Soup
Cut and then boil leftover steak in water, enough to cover the top of the steak slices. Add bouillon to taste. Cut can of whole tomatoes to prefered size. Combine into one pan and allow to come to a boil. Add rice. Answer: Kay, I made the pototoe soup the other night...didn't look as good as yours. I made the mistake of taking the boat motor to it, I meant to just do it a bit but ended up doing too much. Answer: Cuban Pork Roast 1 lb dry pinto beans 3 lb Pork Roast 7 C Water 1/2 C chopped onion 2 cloves Garlic, chopped 1 T Salt 2 T Chili Powder 1 T Cumin 1 t Oregano 4 oz Green Chili Peppers (1 can) Put all ingredients in crock pot for 5 hours or until the beans are done. Uncover for the last half hour to allow to thicken. Serve with Rice. Answer: Pet Talk Cooking Consultants -- please see related topic about recipes for chili -- I don't have a good one, but I wish I did! Can you please suggest one? It can be either vegetarian or with meat. http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=123459 Answer: Heres a recipe that delicious! I had been meaning to post it for you guys but never got around to it. I made it it school and it was good so I got the recipe and I have had it plenty of times at home. Quick Pasta with no vodka sauce 2 T. Butter 1 clove of garlic, minced 1 1/2 c. tomato sauce 1/4 c. heavy cream 1/4 c. chicken broth 2 T. parmesan cheese A few pinches of crushed red pepper flakes 2 c. cooked pasta Melt butter in a large fry pan, add garlic, and saute until tender, but not brown. Blend in tomato sauce, bring to a simmer over low heat. Slowly stir in chicken broth. Slowly add the tempered cream to the sauce, stirring constantly. Add parmesan cheese and pepper flakes. Stir until well blended and thoroughly heated. Add cooked, drained pasta to the sauce. Toss to coat. Enjoy Then add more parm. cheese on top of the pasta w/ sauce, if you like it that way. (Also, if you have leftover sauce you can use it as a dipping sauce. I love dipping pizza rolls in it. ) Answer: I have now tried Kay's potato soup and mruffruff's Cuban pork roast - and both were just fantastic The carrots in the potato soup sure do add eye appeal and that recipe is buttery rich and yummy. The roast will also be a regular as I love the flavor of the cumin. It really is fun to read and see what other folks have been making - gives me ideas I love this thread and the other "what is for dinner?" threads. Soooo I am hoping to see more pictures to give me inspiration. Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.tendlife.com
