Evolution of a Real Food “Quick & Easy” Recipe

Posted by Hallee on May 3, 2012 in Hallee's Galley, kitchen & cooking tips, Recipes

I’d roasted a turkey on Monday. A few days later, I was up to my eyeballs in edits for my current novel and lost track of time. I was trying to come up with something “quick and easy” for dinner. The problem with that is that I don’t have anything pre-prepared. So, anything I made would need to be MADE. I don’t even think I had any bread so that I could make something like open faced sandwiches.

Then I remembered that there was some Bisquick recipe my mom used to make.

Turkey Breast in the Rotisserie

Posted by Hallee on Apr 20, 2011 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

I LOVE my rotisserie oven. I don’t know why food tastes so much better coming out of the rotisserie than the oven, but it does. I prefer to cook meat in it if I can. This turkey breast was amazing – I used it to make lunch meat and the flavor even in thinly sliced pieces was just wonderful.

Roasting the Perfect Turkey

Posted by Hallee on Nov 19, 2010 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, kitchen & cooking tips, Recipes

Roasting a turkey may seem like a daunting task, but it’s really not that difficult. It’s just a matter of making sure it’s cooked all the way more than anything, and making sure you don’t over-cook it. Under-cooked turkey is a health hazard, and over-cooked turkey can be dry.

Menu Monday 09 Aug 2010

Posted by Hallee on Aug 9, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning

We are still out of town, still in a hotel with a 2-burner stove, a microwave, 1 large pot, and 1 large frying pan. We do have access to a grill, so we’ve been trying to use that to cook the meat as much as possible. Breakfasts are provided by the hotel.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of August 9th. As far as desserts go, we have store-bought ice cream and Fresh Bakery bakery pound cake.

Crock Pot Turkey Breast with Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce

Posted by Hallee on Dec 11, 2009 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

Pom Wonderful asked me to come up with some pomegranate recipes. I had a turkey breast in the freezer and a bag of cranberries in the fridge, so I thought I would see what I could come up with.
