Friday Topic--Favorite Winter Time Recipes!! See Below!!

So, the last couple of years I've come a long way in the kitchen.
Not that I couldn't cook, I just never had too.
Working in the restaurant industry for over 13 years, I always
had someone else do it for me.
That being said I want to share a few places I love to visit when
I'm looking for ideas.

#1--Mrs Amy turned me on to this website, it really rocks!!
epicurious.com (kenda, notice no www. heehee)
One that Amy made for us lately from this website--
Spicy Sausage and Gorgonzola Pizza.......sooooooo very good!!! Check it out!

#2--I get a magazine every 3 months from Kraft foods called
Food and Family.
It is packed with recipes geared towards the time of year it's published.
If you go to Kraftfoods.com and register on their website it will send you
a copy of the magazine for FREE!!! I love getting it.
Make sure it does offer the magazine if not search the website for
Food and Family and get it!!
That's where the Winter Beef Stew came from.

I could go on and on with some of my favorites....
I just discovered how to make Homemade Italian Meatballs, so very easy
and Matthias loves them....let me know if you want the recipe..

Great Topic Britta!!! Thanks for giving me a reason to share!!!

Dinner Last night!!!

Perfect Winter Beef Stew

Prep Time: 15 min Total Time: 2 hr 15 min Makes: 8 servings, 1-1/4 cups each 3/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

2 lb. beef for stew, such as beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks

6 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped

3 cups sliced mushrooms

1 cup chopped onions (about 1 large)

3 cups sliced carrots (about 6 medium)

1-1/2 lb. potatoes, peeled, cut into large chunks (about 4 cups)

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes, undrained

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) beef broth

POUR dressing over meat in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; turn to evenly coat meat with dressing. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large saucepan on medium heat 5 min. or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from saucepan; drain drippings.

ADD mushrooms and onions to same saucepan; cook on medium-high heat 10 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Add meat, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, broth and bacon to saucepan; stir.

BRING to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 hour 15 min. Uncover; simmer an additional 15 min. or until meat is cooked through and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.

*MATTHIAS AND I ADDED OUR OWN AMOUNTS OF
CREAM STYLE HORSERADISH TO OUR BOWLS FOR EXTRA FLAVOR!!!
SO YUMMY!!!

*Also prep time took me longer than 15 min. I'd say about 25 min.
I cut everything up first and then cooking was a lot easier!!

1 package (8oz) cream cheese

Three things you may not know about me....

1.

I'm Not Good at Sharing....There I said it, I'm not a good sharer......I'm not, and I've come to realize it over the last couple of years. I guess being in committed relationship and having a baby brings a lot to the surface. I've had to face this a lot and have come up with my own theory. You either are a good sharer or Your not...and that's that. I've tested this out on a few of my friends and have found there are others who would rather not share, which of course makes me feel better. What's really weird about it all is that I don't mind sharing with Ava.....she could have my left arm if she needed it....but when it comes to everyone else I really have to think about it.....
Is that crazy or what....Oh well, we all have things to work on in life.

2.

When jumping into a pool of water I hold my nose. Every time. I know there's something your suppose to do like blow out of your nose when you hit the water, but I can't do it... Maybe one day I'll take some swimming lessons to learn how to break this childish habit.

3.

My brothers and I we're the biggest wrestling fans when we were like in the 6th grade. Every Wednesday night my parents dropped us off at the Fairpark coliseum in Lubbock and we'd run around the place watching all the wrestlers. We would mostly stalk the wrestlers outside their dressing rooms. We we're all but obsessed with the whole show. Oh and on Sundays we would watch it on T.V. live from Dallas, Texas.

My favorites of course we're the Von Erich Brothers-Kerry, Kevin and David(in that order)

Kerry Von Erich-He would have been in my top 5 for sure!!!

Kevin Von Erich

David Von Erich-
THAT IS SOOOOO KERRY MOSSER UNDER HIS ARM...I HAVE TO FIND OUT FORSURE....BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HIM...

Sometimes their Dad Fritz, would travel with them from Dallas for the big night of wrestling. He started the big Von Erich success... And they had another brother Mike, who came towards the end of my love for wrestling.

Andre The GIANT

I also loved it when Andre the Giant came to town, he was super large. Like 7'4 and just large, he would like sit on his opponents in the end to win the match... he was a good guy!!

Kabuki

I hated Kabuki the most, he was known for spiting blood in your eyes (or something like that)...and the nerve hold....lol. He was sooooo evil

The Fabulous Freebirds

The Fabulous Freebirds were the others I hated...they we're sooo mean and big rivals of the Von Erich Family.

I believed in wrestling so much....I knew for sure it was all real. I would defend them all, especially to my dad who would tell me it wasn't real. But this all came to an end when I saw The Fabulous Freebirds shopping at the Southplains mall with the Von Erich brothers I was so disappointed-I think I cried for days...................

So did you learn anything new about Me!!!
