Beef
Pressure Cooker Pork and Cabbage Dinner
I put on this pressure cooker pork roast in the morning to avoid that evening dinner rush so common on busy weeknights. All I do is fix a side of family-favorite potatoes and we can sit down to a satisfying supper.
Desserts
Make-Ahead Alaska Blueberry, Lemon, and Thyme Cinnamon Rolls
The dough in this recipe is straight from a 1943 copy of 'America's Cookbook,' which belonged to my grandmother. The filling is straight from the wild blueberry patches of Alaska, but any berry will work well here. Note: wild berries tend to be a little smaller and a little juicier than those you'd buy at the market, so if you're using fresh store bought berries, you might want to add up to half a cup to one whole cup more.
Desserts
Homemade Dunkaroos
Graham flour is often available in the health food aisle or at health food stores. You can also order it online.
Beef
Turkey Shepherd s Pie
This easy turkey shepherd's pie is a great way to use up leftover turkey, mashed potatoes and even the vegetables from your holiday meal.
Desserts
Berries with Rosé
Fresh berries are macerated in a rosé syrup and then dolloped with whipped cream for a no-fuss, special dessert.
Desserts
Homemade Cow Tales
This is my homemade take on a favorite nostalgic candy. For those not familiar, Cow Tales (not Cow Tails) are 8-inch lengths of soft caramel and cream filling.
Beef
Peppery Pizza Loaves
I often take these French bread pizzas to church picnics or potluck suppers and there are never any left. When I fix them for me and my husband, I freeze two halves in foil to enjoy later.
Beef
Turkey Meatballs
We make our turkey meatballs with spinach to ensure they turn out tender, juicy and moist. They freeze beautifully, so don’t be afraid to make a double (or triple) batch.
Beef
Roasted Sage Turkey with Vegetable Gravy
There’s no prep like home-style when roasting the big bird. Instead of sage stuffing with turkey, fill this bird with fresh sage and thyme sprigs for the same delicious flavors.
Beef
Sauerbraten Stew
"With this original recipe, I was one of 10 finalists at an Ohio Beef Council Beef Cook-Off," notes Margaret Ashcraft of Piqua, Ohio. "Serve this hearty sweet-and-sour spicy dish with parsley potatoes, German spaetzles or noodles."
Beef
Cheesy Spinach stuffed Meat Loaf
For an extra special treat for supper, try this meatloaf. The combination of spinach and cheese makes it fancy enough to serve to guests.
Beef
Hot Kippered Salmon
We fish commercially in front of our home on Cook Inlet. I developed this recipe as one of the many ways to enjoy our catch. This salmon dish is healthy and delicious served with steamed rice, broccoli and a salad.
Beef
Easy Mexican Lasagna
This lasagna is quick and easy to prepare, and leaves me plenty of time to feed our horses, goats and other animals while it's in the oven.
Beef
Phyllo Chicken
Some years ago I found this recipe and streamlined it to fit our family. The broccoli adds a lot to the rich flavor. Phyllo is fun to work with, and its flakiness turns standard ingredients into a special, satisfying entree.
Beef
Crispy Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups
These winning chicken rolls, with their crunchy cornflake crust, are so easy to fix but look like I fussed. My family and friends absolutely love them!
Beef
Texas Oven Roasted Beef Brisket
I was once a brisket novice, but now I cook up a dish with the taste of Texas. Thanks to a robust rub, the end result is a fork-tender cut with a crispy crust.
Beef
Glazed Racks of Lamb
Rack of lamb isn't an entree you make every day. So when you do prepare it, you need a tried-and-true recipe like this one.
