Traditional Turkey Gravy

Posted by Hallee on Nov 22, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes, sauces & spreads

When my mom makes turkey gravy, she always makes giblet gravy (recipe to follow). It took me many years to learn how to make any other kind of gravy. Now that I make this recipe, it would be hard for me to say whether I prefer giblet gravy over this traditional gravy or not! It is really flavorful and the perfect compliment to the rest of your Thanksgiving feast.

Roux [roo]

Posted by Hallee on Aug 20, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, kitchen & cooking tips, Recipes

A roux is a thickening agent made from some kind of fat with an equal portion of flour. You melt the fat, add the flour, then cook until the flour taste is removed.

This meal is a favorite of everyone in my family, and is so simple and SO economical that I’ve linked it to $5 Dinners.

Whole Wheat Penne Pasta with Chicken & Veggies

Posted by Hallee on Oct 4, 2009 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes

I was hungry for something creamy and pasta-y with chicken and veggies, so I put “pasta with chicken and veggies” on the menu this week and made the recipe up on the fly. It turned out very nice.

Southern Fried Chicken

A favorite of my family’s. I love to pull out two cast iron skillets and fry two full birds. They inhale this dish, especially when served with buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
