Jan 27....the Dutch Oven drama
39. Barbecue Chili
This was so good. I love chili and I have to say that this is one of the best chili's that I have ever tasted. Dave agreed with me on this one as well. Elise even had a bite and told me it was ok. So high praise!
However it calls for a dutch oven. After nap time I got the kids ready and we went to target to get a dutch oven. I got the only one they had there and brought it home to wash it and use it....I open the box and there is no lid. Missing. Who does that happen to other than me? So tomorrow I will be taking it back to Target to try to get one that has a lid.
*1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
*1 lb ground beef (or turkey, venison....whatever!)
*1 cup chopped onion
*2 cloves garlic chopped
*1/4 cup chili powder
*1 TBSP Cumin
*1 can (16 on.) stewed tomatoes
*1 cup ketchup
*1/3 cup brown sugar
*1/4 cup molasses
*1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
*1 TBSP dry mustard
*2 can dark red kidney beans, drained
*2 cans pinto beans, drained
*1 can cannellini beans, drained
In a large dutch over, (thank Target) heat oil over a medium high heat
Add meat, onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin, cook stirring to break up the meat, about 10 minutes until meat is no longer pink
Stir in tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, worcestershire and mustard
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally
Stir in the beans, cover and simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
Garnish with Jalapenos, which we did not!!
YUMMY!!!

Jan. 5
I need to go back to the whoopie pies. I have had some people ask me for this recipe and they were wonderful.
so here you go!!
Cookie
*1/2 cup (1 stick) butter at room temp. (if you make sure that the butter is at room temp and not melted our cookies will not spread.)
*1 cup sugar
*1 1/2 tsp baking soda (I used a little less)
*1/2 tsp baking powder
*1 egg
*1 tsp vanilla extract
*1/2 cup cocoa powder
*1 cup milk
*2 cups flour
Marshmallow filling
*1/2 cup butter at room temp
*1 and 1/2 cup powder sugar
*1 jar of marshmallow fluff
*1tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 and spray the cookie sheets. (I really like the flour in a can)
Beat the Butter, sugar, baking soda and baking powder until light.
Mix in the egg, vanilla and cocoa. (At this point it will be very thick...dont worry!!)
Slowly beat in the milk and flour alternating between the two.
Beat until smooth
Drop the dough by the TABLESPOON. (this is make them the right size and not too big)
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until they spring back to the touch. Dont overcook!
Cool on a wire rack
When cool put the filling on the back of one cookie and place the second on top. (I put the filling in a large zip lock bag, cut a slit into the corner and that way you will be able to spread the filling easy and not get everything messy!!)
Today Recipe 12
12. Chicken Taco Soup
*1 onion, chopped
*1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
*1 (15 ounce) can black beans
*1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
*1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
*1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
*2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
*1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
*3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
*shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
*sour cream (optional)
*crushed tortilla chips (optional)
Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.
Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. (be careful that your dog does not get the chicken. That has happened here!!!) Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
Dave said that he liked it better with sour cream. I liked it better without.
As I was putting this in the Crock Pot Elise looked at it and said "I hope I dont have to eat that." They did not!!

I started Jan. 1 and in one day made 6 new things.
1. Ribs
2. Potato Salad
3. Brownies
4. Chocolate ice cream
5. apple sauce
6. Red Pepper dip.
The dip was really good.
*1 jar of roasted red peppers (I had to ask where they were in the store)
*1 cup was feta cheese
*a couple cloves of garlic crushed
*2 TBSP olive oil
Put in the food processor (I know I never use mine either. It was a wedding gift and I have used it about 5 times) and pulse for about a minute.
Serve with pita chips.
Dave and I loved it. My kids told me it was gross.
Jan 2- Elise and I both got a stomach bug and there was no cooking
Jan 3-
7.Chicken and dumplings
8.Roasted Broccoli
9. whoopie pies
Chicken and dumplings were the stand out....
*4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
*2 tablespoons butter
*2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
*1 onion, finely diced
*1 can of peas and carrots
*2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
Cut the chicken into strips and place in the crock pot. Mix the butter, soup, veggies and then cover with chicken broth or water (I used broth and it was great)

Elise hated it and went to bed early after she chewed a piece of broccoli and spit it on the dinging room table. Eli thought it was not as good as Wendys. Oh Well!
