I’ve been mucking about with chili recipes for ages trying to come up with one that I particularly liked, and I think I’ve finally nailed it. Catie’s Chili 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion 2 bell peppers 4 cloves garlic, smashed 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 cans diced tomatoes 1 heaping tbsp tomato paste 1 c vegetable stock 2 cans kidney beans, rinsed 1 c frozen corn 1 lb (500gm) stew meat, if desired…
These, like every other molasses cookie I’ve ever had, are incredibly addictive, and are a family favorite that I don’t make all that often because (I realized as I was making them) the dough isn’t nearly as good to eat raw as chocolate chip cookie dough is. :) Raisin Bar Cookies 3/4 c butter 1 c sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 c molasses 3 3/4 c flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ginger 1 c raisins 1 c powdered sugar 2-3…
I revamped my maple apple butter recipe entirely this year and it is Good. A big part of the difference is I was using eating apples, because that’s what I had this time instead of super sour cooking apples, and it takes much less maple and sugar to overcome the sourness with sweet apples. I did use about five tart apples in this, too, and would recommend that, my own self. So: Miz Kit’s Maple & Brown Sugar Apple Butter 15-20 prepared (peeled, cored, sliced) apples 1.5 c apple juice…
This is our family’s go-to brownie recipe: Cocoa Brownies 3/4 c sugar 3/4 c flour 1/3 c cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, room temp or softer 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla Whisk the dry ingredients together. Add butter, eggs and vanilla and mix. Scrape into a 9×9″ buttered pan. Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, until barely done (a fork inserted in the centre should come out slightly gooey but not *wet*). Allow to cool. Frost as desired. (I usually use chocolate buttercream frosting.) Eat! Makes 16…
Many years ago, presumably before Pop Tarts began to be a thing that occasionally showed up on Irish grocery store shelves, I got the idea into my head that one could, y’know, probably MAKE them. I looked for recipes, but never got around to making them. A couple weekends ago I was making pot pie anyway and thought I should make up an extra batch of pie crust and try ’em. oh my flippin’ stars. I used my basic pie crust recipe and added about a quarter cup of sugar…
