28 Sep 2016 Danish Meatloaf

This is the meatloaf recipe everyone liked better than I did.  I still favor my Grandma Anderson's recipe but since the family liked it, here it is.

In a small bowl, combine to soak
1/2 c milk
1 egg
1 c toasted bread, cubed or 1/2 c dried bread crumbs
Let stand 5 minutes.

In hot skillet, sauté
1/2  medium onion, diced
1 T butter
Remove from heat, add
1 t fresh chopped parsley or 1/2 t dried
Allow to cool.

Mix together:
1 lb ground beef
1 T ketchup
1/2 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 t paprika
1 clove garlic, minced or generous sprinkle of garlic powder 
1/4 t thyme
1/2 t Worcestershire sauce
Add in cooled onion & parsley mix
combine well then add in the milk-crumb mixture

Shape meat into a loaf or into a loaf pan
Bake at 350ºF for 1 hour

Turns out if you want, you can shape them into patties and fry in butter until cooked through and have single serving meatloaf burgers instead of one big loaf.

Mexetti Squash

So I wanted to use the spaghetti squash but I wasn't in the mood for the usual Italian meatball pseudo-spaghetti. I also wanted something just as quick and easy so I browsed around on the internet and got an idea to use Mexican flavors. Here is what I served everyone tonight so we can remember it. There are no real measurements since every squash is a different size. Cut a spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. In a microwaveable dish, place one half skin side down so it can be filled with: cooked, cut up chicken diced Hatch chiles zucchini, chopped finely red bell pepper, chopped finely onion, chopped finely OR onion powder sprinkled on top Sprinkle it all with a little salt, pepper and cumin and shredded Jack, Manchego or other cheese Pour some enchilada sauce over it all. Add some heat with salsa, chile powder or whatever you like or not. Cover and cook- I microwaved a large half for about 15 minutes The smaller half only took 10 minutes. I served i...

Rainy day Farro with chicken

     This tasted really good on this cold and rainy March evening.  I still had Farro (an Italian wheat cousin with more nutrition than brown rice) in the cupboard so I searched around for farro recipes and came up with this version. Your dad wants to eat it again (and me, too) so here it goes down on record.  I didn't really measure the ingredients so I will do my best to come up with good estimates. Sprinkle generously 1/2 - 1lb cooked chicken in large chunks (off a rotisserie chicken works well) with oregano, salt and pepper and drizzle about 1 Tb apple cider vinegar & ! Tb canola oil  over it & set aside. I think warming it a bit will help the flavor soak in the chicken but it isn't necessary. Sauté 1 large colored bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 med onion, chopped 4-5 cloves garlic, minced until glossy and softened Add in 1 1/2 c uncooked Farro, rinsed 2 1/2 c chicken broth 1/2 t cumin powder 1/4 c sun dried tomatoes in olive oi...
