A Weekend of Cooking: stew beef, chicken, salads etc.


We do love salad

Beef Stew and delicious salad

Mama gave me lots of collards and cabbage a friend gave her so many
we ate some and I froze 2 gallon bags full

cabbage I need to cook and freeze some. 
It is the largest cabbage I have ever seen.

Pan grilled chicken breast
This weekend of cooking I also had to fry a little 
We southerners do love our chicken


So delicious


This is the largest double yoke egg I have ever gotten


Easy Beef Stew
Brown cubed chuck/stew beef & 2 cloves garlic minced little batches at a time
sprinkle with paprika for good color
when beef is browned add 2 1/2 to 4 cups of water
1 can mushroom soup
1 envelope dried onion soup
Bring to a boil
Simmer for 1 1/2 hours 
add 4 peeled quartered potatoes
Big handful of baby peeled washed carrots
Cook for 30 minutes more
Add salt & pepper to taste
serve over rice or potatoes or simply in a bowl by itself

If gravy needs to be thickened
add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour with little water mix into paste 
pour into pot bring up heat
cook until lumps are gone and thickened as you wish.
If it is not brown enough add a little Kitchen Bouquet


Easy Pot Roast

The night before:
Put a rump roast fat side up in a crock pot
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
That's it cook on low overnight.
Cook longer is you need it more tender.

You probably already have this recipe. It is very flavorful
