Meat And Veggie Sautéed Dinner
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 1 Medium Sized Onion,Thinly Sliced
- 2 Bell Peppers,Thickly Sliced
- 2 cups Cauliflower,Chopped
- 1 lb Italian Sausage,Cooked And Sliced
- 1/2 cup Crushed Tomato
- 4 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
Note: You can change this dish with different vegetables and meats, but I like to start with the onion and pepper mixture as my base. Then add one or two moist vegetables; finally adding your choice of meat. Some vegetable substitutions could be broccoli, mushrooms, summer squash etc. For meat subs you can use chopped meat, chicken, pork, anything that you can cut into bite sized pieces. Instead of crushed tomatoes you could use spaghetti sauce, or tomato sauce, whatever you have on hand for a binding sauce.
Directions
- Heat oil in frying pan. Add onions and peppers and fry until tender crisp. If mixture starts to stick to the pan add a little more oil or 2 tablespoons butter. You may also need to lower the heat a bit.
- Add Cauliflower and cook until no longer crunchy; add cooked sausage and tomatoes. Continue heating until all pieces are hot.
- Serve with grated Parmesan Cheese (Pecorino Romano Best) to taste.
Hamburger Soup
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound frozen mixed vegetables
- 46 ounce canned tomato juice

Note:This is a simple meal to throw together or pick up a few ingredients on the way home.
Directions
- Brown the ground beef in a frying pan.
- Pour the tomato juice into a large stock pot. Add the frozen vegetables.
- Drain the ground beef and add to the pot. Season with salt and pepper if you really think it needs it.

Strawberry Orange Cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries,clean and cut up
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Note: When strawberries are in season, this is really good. Because you are using fresh cream it will not hold more than one day in the refrigerator.
Directions
- Place berries in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for half an hour.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan put 1/4 cup sugar, orange juice, orange peel and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stir and cook gently for about 10 minutes.

Directions
- Grease and flour a 13 x 9 pan. Put the raisins and water in a small pot and bring it to a boil. Let it steam for a few minutes and then cover. Turn the heat off and let it sit until you are ready to add it to the batter. (This will make the raisins soft.)

Dog Recipes
Dog Biscuits
- 2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 3 cups liquid (broth or water)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt, Optional
- 6 cups Whole Wheat Flour
Directions
- Put the oats in a big bowl. For the liquid, if you have plain, unseasoned, chicken or beef stock use that or just plain water. (If using plain water you can also add about 2 tablespoons butter for flavor and texture.) Heat the liquid to almost boiling and pour over the oats. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Then add salt, eggs and garlic powder. Stir in enough flour to make the dough dry enough to roll out without sticking to everything. The dryer you make it now, the less time it needs in the oven to dry out.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Pat or roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter or with a knife cut into rectangles the size you want. Put on cookie sheets, almost touching each other. They shrink just a little as they bake.
- Bake in oven 50 minutes or longer. You want them cracker hard so they will keep longer and really crunch when the dogs eat them. I put them in tupperware and keep in the refrig.
