Red Beans N Rice Nancy style

by

Tools:

1 Fry pan, 1 spoon, measuring cup, and 1 tsp
1 medium cooking pot for stew
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rice n 2 1/2 cups water
cook your rice. I use a rice cooker.
When cooking rice on your stove top  you will need to cook with equal parts rice to water and  dash of salt.
1 medium onion sliced to chopped
1 tsp oil
1 pat of butter
3 cans of any type of red beans
1 TBSP cumin
1 tsp salt n pepper
1/2 TBSP paprika
2 tsp beef bullion
1 1/2 cups water
2 lbs sausage.
Cook your onion in oil n butter for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Cook for 15-20 minutes while you cook your Keilbasa or smoked sausage. Cook sausage until it Browns but no burns.

Add cooked sausage to bean mixture and cook for 5 more minutes on low while you set table.

It is  not this dark but it is very good.  Enjoy!

Family Day September 2016

We had the family over for a family day and that included family. Our visiting family were Daniel & Holli with baby Todd, Chris & Farren, Amber & Ryan, Ian, Ty, Linda, Mindy and Jordan.  We sat around and watched the Eagles kick butt, visited the corner stop sign and ate food.

Todd really, really likes the corner stop sign. I don’t quite understand why but he is fascinated with it. He laughs as soon as he sees it.
I hope to do this again. I enjoy having a houseful of people.
 

Pizza!

We made this in our cooking class at the library. The kids had so much fun rolling out the dough. This is a great activity for your kids and gets the in the kitchen. Who knows, maybe they will eat something new.
1 TBSP yeast & 1 cup warm water
Heat oven to 425.
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1-2 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP honey
Combine warm water to yeast and mix. Let stand while you get together the other ingredients.
In a medium bowl add the rest of the ingredients. Add yeast water to flour and mix until it becomes a ball. If dough seems wet add flour. If dough seems dry add a little water. The dough should not stick to your fingers.  Let dough sit for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle flour on a baking sheet. Handle dough with floured hands and roll dough to fill your baking sheet. Once it is rolled out place in heated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Check it at 10 minutes. It should be ALMOST done.
You are now ready to put your toppings on: sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers and/or whatever you choose. Bake for another 10 minutes or until you feel it is done.

Enjoy!
