I have always loved cooking with sourdough. It is super easy to make and keep a jar of sourdough sitting on the counter, ready for use in bread, cakes, pizza dough, or anything else. My favorite recipe of all is Sourdough Spice Cake: Ingredients 1 cup sourdough 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup vegetable cooking oil (I use olive oil) 2 eggs 1 cup milk 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp cloves (ground) 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ginger 1 cup flour, if the sourdough is thin Directions To …

Here is a recipe that my family enjoys. It uses several items from my long-term food storage. We are in Alaska, so some of our food storage may seem strange to you. When I first moved here from the mid-west, I thought the idea of canning salmon was the oddest thing. Now every year we can many pounds of fish, which make tasty meals through the winter. We also have a root cellar that helps us keep produce from the garden fresh through our long winters. Serves 6 “Really it did” Ingredients: 2 Tbsp Butter or fat 2 Tbsp Flour …

I am a 5th generation Oklahoman. My wife is ethnically Vietnamese. Our children are happy little mongrels with Eurasian eyes and Oklahoma accents. We often produce fusion recipes consisting of local ingredients and traditional Vietnamese ideas. Wild turkey spring season is almost upon us, and I would like to share one of our fusion recipes with the blog. Pho (pronounced fuh-uh with two syllables NOT foe with a long O and one syllable) is a simple soup dish with numerous health benefits. In its simplest form it is broth made from bones and simple herbs. The bones provide minerals and …
How to Make that Meat Go Further People can be very picky eaters, but down the road that may not always be an available luxury. People will also start in a litany of “I don’t eat mustard, or onions, or garlic, or mushrooms, or whatever.” (This is not to be confused with a legitimate food allergy!) Remember, a recipe is a combination of pleasing ingredients that impart delightful flavors and textures. Think about liquid vanilla extract. It smells out-of-this-world, but it tastes like nothing you would want you eat. Sugar must be added to make it edible. The following recipe …
I worked in various pizza kitchens as a youth, and now make it at home regularly. We like to add a few extra ingredients to the crust for flavor and nutrition.They are optional, so experiment and find the mixture that best suits your tastes. Total “Flour” component should be about 3-cups, but make sure at least 2-cups are a quality bread-flour, or else you get more of a granola-bar than pizza-dough. Ingredients: Approximately 1.5 cups warm water (100-110 F degree’s; use a thermometer as too hot/cold matters.) 2 tsp. Salt 1 package dry yeast (live yeast also suitable, vary instructions …

Here is a recipe I invented using leftovers from baked potatoes to make tacos: After scrubbing well and baking, slice the top of the potato with a sharp knife lengthwise end to end. Eat all of the baked potato, scraping excess potato from the skin. (Not too hard, you don’t want holes in the skin.) The skin is now ready to be used as a tortilla, thereby cutting back on tortilla carbs, if dieting, or gluten, if sensitive. Holding the skin of the potato in one hand, you are now ready to apply a filling. Being a girl from Texas, …
Ingredients: 1 quart chicken broth 1/2 cup rice 2-3 tablespoons dehydrated onions 1 15.5-oz. can white beans 1 13-oz. can chicken 3/4 cup dehydrated spinach Directions: Cook first three ingredients, until the rice is done. Add the next three ingredients (including liquid in cans) and cook about 10 more minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Notes: We grow Malabar spinach, dehydrate it, and store in quart jars in the pantry. We also make homemade chicken broth, reduce it, and freeze in ice cube trays, then just use about 5-6 cubes with water. Homemade broth tastes better than store canned, and …
