BBQ Grilled Salmon

Posted by Hallee on Sep 15, 2009 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

Grandpa would have line caught salmon on the grill and garden fresh corn on the cob. Grandma would cover the picnic table with a red and white checkered tablecloth, and we’d eat on paper plates with wicker plate holders.

Tip: Peeling Tomatoes

Posted by Hallee on Sep 11, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, kitchen & cooking tips

This is an easy way to peel tomatoes. The same process can be used for peaches and other similarly skinned fruits that you intend to cook or can right away.

Gregg’s Gingerbread Cookie Dough

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in Breads, Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes

Traditionally, gingerbread cookies are decorated with white icing and raisins for features, but feel free to let your imagination run wild with other decorations such as red hots, colored sugar sprinkles, gumdrops, etc. Prepared dough will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. This wonderful, versatile dough can not only be used to make gingerbread men, but also other shapes, like gingerbread houses.

Gregg’s Quick & Easy Royal Icing

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

In an effort to economize, when creating a recipe for Gingerbread Cookies that would certainly need Royal Icing, I decided to experiment with the eggs in use. Splitting the egg yolks into the gingerbread and saving the whites for the icing worked out perfectly.

Hallee’s White Chili Recipe

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, Recipes, Soups

One evening, with company arriving less than three hours from the time that I held four frozen solid pieces of chicken in my hands, I decided that white chili was probably the best route to take. So, I plopped them in the big stock pot, covered them with water and proceeded to make white chili. Though a recipe that I put together on the fly with only the ingredients I had on hand, it really ended up tasting quite good.

Italian Turkey Sausage Spaghetti Sauce

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes

This is such a tasty sauce! It really goes well with whole grain pasta. It is exactly the right amount of spicy and exactly the right amount of rich and thick.

Posted by Hallee on Sep 7, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning

Here’s the menu plan for the week of 7 September 2009 for my family. As far as desserts go, I am going to make a cherry cobbler and a pineapple cake. I may also do sugar cookies in the letter ‘E’ because that is our letter this week – so, we’ll do elephants and eggs and the letter.
