What to get your children when they purchase a new home???

I think I found the answer for this dilemma. I believe I have found the perfect gift for their new home. Everyone likes to make changes in their decor when purchasing a new home. So, I decided to get them a gift certificate from modern rugs. These are examples of what type of rugs you can get; Contemporary, Transitional, Children, Shag & Flokati, Solid, Novelty, Striped and Outdoor rugs. One cannot go wrong with such a large selection of modern rugs.

Veal Stew and Veal & Peas

My mother always told me not to go food shopping when you are HUNGRY. Very bad thing to do. Well, I never listened when it came to food shopping. So, yesterday I decided to go to a food warehouse. I went there because they were having a sale on ground sirloin. Guess what? They were out of it. So instead I bought chicken tenders (20 lbs.) frozen cod fish, and frozen chunks of Veal among many other items. I should have listened to my Mother’s advise. Anyhow the Veal was frozen ( all 5 lbs of it) so I thawed it out overnight. I could not wait to cook it, I could taste it…..

This morning I decided to make Veal & Peas and Veal Stew. Here is how I make it.

a. First sauté a large onion in a large skillet. Add the Veal hunks, salt, pepper and let is simmer. Add a cup of wine, any flavor, and let it simmer about 5 more minutes.

I separated the Veal so that I could make both dishes.

Veal & Peas

In a large Crock Pot place the amount of Veal chunks desired

Add at least one can of small peas (frozen or canned)

1 can of Pastene Kitchen Ready tomatoes

3 cans of Hunt’s Tomatoes Sauce

1 can of Chicken Broth

Salt and pepper to taste.

Cook on High for 4 ½ hrs.

Veal Stew

Place the Veal chunks in another large Crock Pot

Add one can of Pastene Kitchen Ready tomatoes

One can of chicken broth

One can of sliced carrots

One can of string beans

Sautéed celery chopped

Sautéed onions chopped

4 medium potatoes cut into small chunks.

Salt & Pepper to taste.

Cook on High for 4 ½ hrs.

Yummy…..

We had it for dinner, of course I had to have both with some nice Italian bread to dunk in the sauce.

Oh by the way, they are getting their order tomorrow for Ground Sirloin....guess who's going back to the food warehouse?

Did you know?

I received this information from a friend a couple of years ago...read it and put it away. I stumbled on it when cleaning my filing cabinet. You will be surprised as to how many uses a sheet of Bounce has. It is not only for the dryer!
It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
It will repel mice...spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
It will take odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. (You are probably wondering why mention mosquitoes in November? Some of my readers live in warm climates.)
Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet to keep dust from settling.
Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
Eliminate odors in waste basket.
This is my favorite: Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food.

There are a few more uses. You can contact me and I will be happy to send you a completed list.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

May you all be blessed with Family and wonderful friends like mine. I am so grateful for everything that life has given me from my wonderful husband, my two great children and the blessing of four grandchildren. I hold them all very close to my heart.

Both of our children have decided to buy new homes at the same time. We want them to find the homes that they love. My problem is trying to find something great to buy them when they find their dream houses.

So I put on my thinking cap and came up with a couple of good ideas…Our son has a beautiful bar in his present home and I thought why not get them barstools, nice padded comfortable barstools that these old bones could sit on and have a great glass of wine! Then it occurred to me that I could get them a gift certificate to CSNstores.com where they could choose the style of barstools. Either way, it would be a win win situation.

Now comes the dilemma about our daughter when it dawned on me that I could do the same for her. CSNstores.com has over 200 plus online stores to choose from.

Problem solved!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Stay safe and God Bless

Left over Chicken???

For some reason I always have left over chicken. It's probably because I cook more than I should. My husband, Jack, loves chicken in any shape or form. I try to do different things with it and tonight I came up with a wonderful combination. Here's what I came up with:

In a large saute pan place pieces of chicken (I always remove the bones) roasted red peppers, stuffed green olives, artichoke hearts, small amount of olive oil and seasoning. I used McCormick Perfect Pinch Vegetable seasoning and a dash of salt. While this simmered, I microwaved a bag of Birdseye Steam Fresh Brown Rice and sauteed Broccoli Rabi with garlic and olive oil.

Place the rice in a serving dish, top with chicken mixture and surround it with Rabbi.

What a fantastic combination of flavors!

The two of us ate it ALL!
