A Conical Burr Grinder For Coffee Lovers

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Consider a conical burr grinder for coffee lovers in your family. They make great gifts and can bring that morning cup of Java up a notch. Even if you just want a break from having to wait in line every day at your favorite upscale coffee shop, having the option to grind and brew your own beans is great.

The slow grind the conical burr machines provide keeps the beans from burning. This is one of the secrets coffee shops kept to themselves for years. Many of the latest grinders have twenty or thirty settings that allow you to use just about any bean you like, and a new generation of machines let you grind and brew your Espresso or Turkish in one coffee maker.

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Whether you’re looking for easy kid’s recipes, healthy kid’s recipes, kid’s snack ideas, or even gross recipe ideas that kid’s will get a kick out of, this is the right stop.

I have eight children to cook for, so being in the kitchen is a major part of my day, but I never get tired of finding fun recipes that the kids will enjoy not only eating but sometimes even making. It can be very motivating for them to make snacks, lunches, and even some family meals if they can control the menu choices. If you can get them to peruse the recipes here on this website I’m sure they will find quite a few that they would love to help you make, and if they are old enough, there are plenty of kid’s recipes that they will be able to make all by themselves. Oh, and by the way! Don’t forget to teach them to also clean up after themselves. It’s much easier to let them do some cooking if you know you won’t always have to clean up after them. =-)

Take a look and see what kid’s recipes you can find that might spur that little chef to start helping you in the kitchen. You’ll find that there is quality bonding that takes place when you spend time in the kitchen cooking with your children. Check back often for added recipes!

Dutch Ovens are a Wonderful Way to Cook

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Dutch ovens have been around for hundreds of years and are still highly touted as a wonderful way of cooking

Although years ago the Dutch oven was mainly used over an open fire, you can now purchase the modern version to cook on the stove-top or in the oven as well. They are perfect for the individual who likes to cook using the one-dish theme, along with many other types of cooking such as: roasts, all kinds of meat, stews, casseroles, vegetable dishes, rice dishes, etc.

A Dutch oven is a thick-walled metal cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. You can use them on the stove-top or in the oven. They are typically smooth-bottomed and have two handles. They distribute heat evenly making them well suited for long, slow cooking. They are usually made of bare or enameled cast iron, but may also be made of ceramic or aluminum. Dutch ovens are a great cookware choice for making savory one-dish meals. In my opinion, the ceramic or enameled Dutch ovens would be excellent choices.

Ground beef sloppy joes recipe

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Easy ground beef recipes are my favorite accomplishment. Lol, for me they are simple as I like ground beef more than most everything else. If I had to choose one food it would be ground beef as it’s tasty and it’s so easy to blend it in with different things.

While I’m not a formally trained chef I have been cooking my own food for over 55 years. My grandmother started teaching me to cook at age 4 and the first thing she taught me was to fry a hamburger on the stove. I stood on a chair to flip the burgers and I learned to stay away from spattering grease. Cheeseburgers are my favorite meal.

I love easy recipes made with hamburger and a dinner made with ground beef and potatos almost guarantees I’ll show up to eat. I make a hamburger potato casserole that practically guarantees I’ll over eat. Hamburger casserole recipes are some of the easiest things there are to make.

I could have put this sloppy joes recipe up before this but for some reason I didn’t. I happen to like sloppy joes quite a bit and have them a couple of times per month and last week when I had them I remembered I hadn’t put this recipe up yet. This recipe for sloppy joes is so easy a 10 year old could do it.

Is this a good recipe. I think so, most of my family thinks so and most importantly my girlfriends granddaughter thinks so. She thinks they taste like the sloppy joes she eats at school. I( didn’t take that as a compliment because school food was really bad when I was young. However after she ate 4 of them I got the hint she liked them. Funny but she seems to think my sloppy joes taste a lot like Manwich. I don’t and I don’t like Manwich either. Mine are much better.
