Making and Freezing Stuffed Green Peppers

Making and Freezing Stuffed Green Peppers


We grow a lot of green peppers in our garden every summer season. They are inexpensive and you only need a few plants. When I make stuffed peppers, I like to make them in big batches as they freeze well for future meals.

Free Homemade Dog Food Recipes


The current crisis in our pet food supply has many of us looking for homemade dog food recipes for our beloved pets. I have been cooking for our dog for many years and find that he likes mostly the same foods that we do. Each animal has his own preferences, just like we do. For instance, our Oscar will not eat tomatoes, but Bonnie loves them. Use these recipes as a starting place for homemade dog food recipes. Then, as you discover your pets preferences you can customize them more. One caution: you should not serve onion or chocolate to dogs as they contain substances that can be toxic to dogs.

Cooking - Liver


All liver is a great source of iron and B vitamins and should be a regular part of a healthy diet and if cooked correctly liver can be delicious. Although liver does have bad press and many people will not even consider trying it. Sometimes it calls for the cook to be somewhat inventive to get people to try liver. There are many recipes to choose from and it is worth the experimentation.

The best liver is the liver from young animals as it is mildest and tenderest. Calf's liver is delicate and delicious but fairly expensive. Real calf's liver is paler in color than the redder more mature baby beef liver. For a mild flavored liver choose the palest that you can find. The darker the color the stronger the flavor.

Take care when choosing liver as sometimes baby beef liver is labeled calf's liver in the supermarket or grocery store. To ensure purchasing true calf's liver buy from a butchers or a reputable gourmet supermarket.

Baby beef liver is stronger in flavor than calf's liver but is very good and preferable to actual beef liver. Liver from beef is dark red and the color corresponds to the strength of flavor. Beef liver is readily available but many believe it is too strong for simple preparations.

Some cooks after buying beef liver soak it in milk or a flavorful spicy marinade such as a white wine marinade before cooking to soften the intense flavor. After marinating throw the liquid away and pat the liver dry before cooking.

A lovely tender well-flavored liver is lamb liver but this is generally quite difficult to find.

Also hard to find is pigs liver, which is strong in, taste but extremely tender. Again for pig's liver it can be soaked or marinated like the beef liver.

When choosing liver it should be impeccably fresh with no slimy or dry patches and should have a clear scent.

Should you find yourself preparing a whole liver first wipe it with a damp cloth, then with a sharp knife remove any exposed veins, ducts or connective tissue. With your fingers peel away the thin outer membrane without tearing into the liver itself. You then just slice on the diagonal to the desired thickness your recipe calls for.

Of course presliced liver can be purchased and is actually more commonly available than whole livers. If the butcher has not done so remove the outer membrane on the slices.

Before cooking make 1/8th inch cuts at 1-inch intervals around the outside of the liver slice. The reason for this is because liver has a tendency to shrink and curl when it is cooked and these cuts will help to prevent that from happening.

The liver is now ready for cooking. Liver should be cooked until it is pink but firm in the center. If liver is overcooked or cooked on excessively high heat it will toughen.

Liver is a lot richer in flavor than many other types of meat so a 4-ounce serving should be ample as a main course for most appetites.

Keywords:



Some veterinarians prefer raw meat for our pets. I prefer to cook the meat because of concerns over E Coli and other bacterial contamination. If you wish to use raw meat, do not use ground meat. The grinding process increases the possibility of contamination by providing more surface area for the bacteria to grow.

2 cups cooked brown rice
2/3 cup Lean beef
2 teaspoons lard -- or veggie oil
1/2 cup vegetables -- no onion*

Mix all together. You can serve the beef raw if you use chunks of beef. Do not serve ground beef raw, the grinding process increases the chances of bacterial contamination. Use any vegetables you like. You will find over time that your dog will leave any vegetables he does not like. Mix the above. Serve slightly warm, but not hot.

Chow Chow Chicken

You must remove the meat from the bones in this recipe. Chicken bones can easily splinter and cause choking problems in dogs.

2 chicken thighs -- or white meat
1 stalk celery -- sliced thick
3 carrot -- peeled and halved
2 small potatoes -- peeled and cubed
2 cups rice -- uncooked

Place chicken pieces in large pot. Cover with cold water (5 -6 cups). Add carrots, celery, and potatoes to water. Add salt to taste if you want. Cover and simmer on low heat about 2 hours until the chicken becomes tender. Add the rice, cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove soup from heat. Pull the chicken meat off the bone ( it will practically fall off), discard bones. Return shredded pieces to pot. Stir well. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator or freeze.

Meaty Dog Biscuits

Use beef, chicken or lamb strained baby food for these biscuits.

2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 to 10 tablespoons water
2 jars baby food meat, strained

Mix all ingredients together and knead for 3 min. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a dog bone shaped cookie cutter, and place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 min.

Makes approximately 2 dozen doggie biscuits

Bacon Bites for Dogs

6 slices cooked bacon -- crumbled
4 eggs -- well beaten
1/8 cup bacon grease
1 cup water
1/2 cup powdered milk -- non-fat
2 cup graham flour
2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup cornmeal

Mix ingredients with a strong spoon; drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cookies on baking sheet in the oven overnight to dry out.

Ace's Favorite Cheesy Dog Biscuits

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/4 pound margarine -- corn oil
1 clove garlic -- crushed
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup Milk -- or as needed

Grate the cheese into a bowl and let stand until it reaches room temperature. Cream the cheese with the softened margarine, garlic, salt and flour. Add enough milk to form into a ball.

Chill for 1/2 hour. Roll onto floured board. Cut into shapes and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly brown, and firm.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen, depending on size.

I hope that these free dog food recipes will inspire you to cook safe and healthy food for your pet.

Black and Decker Rice Cooker - Help With Cooking Perfect Rice

Black and Decker Rice Cooker - Help With Cooking Perfect Rice


Cooking rice can be known as a skill. Some of us can do it and get great rice every time. On the other hand, some of us can not cook rice at all. At best, we may get lucky once in a while and produce something edible (if you are anything like me!). For people in this situation, a rice cooker will be the best solution to the problem.

Black and Decker Rice Cooker - Help With Cooking Perfect Rice

This article reviews the range which are designed and produced by Black and Decker, a name which many of us associate with tools and other hardware.

This is a brand which you have not just inside your shed but also in your kitchen.

As well as having the strong name which usually brings thoughts of quality to mind, a Black and Decker rice cooker is equipped with all the features that any decent rice cooker should have.

A Black and Decker cooker will come with automatic and preset buttons. All you need to do is just place the dry rice in the pot, add water then press the button. That's it. The rice will begin cooking.

The 'keep warm' setting is added convenience and will allow the right temperature to be controlled and maintained automatically. This will make sure that the rice is not under cooked or over cooked.

There are also indicator lights which inform you that the cooker is either cooking the rice or simply keeping it warm for you.

Monitoring and checking the progress of the rice is safe and easy. The models in the range feature glass lids which have steam vents fitted that will keep the moisture right and the right amount of heat in. Both the lid and handles will also stay cool, allowing you to serve the rice the moment it is ready.

You can also steam vegetables at the same time as the rice is cooking with the steam tray which is included. I admit that I would prefer to see some changes made to the steaming tray as it is made of plastic. I personally think it would be better if it was made from stainless steel. However, this does not take anything away from the quality and easy to use cookers you will find on a Black and Decker rice cooker.

So there you have it. A quality product from a quality brand. These appliances from Black and Decker are becoming increasingly popular and it is easy to see why.

Wolfgang Puck 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer

Puck Rice Cooker Wolfgang

 

This rice cooker makes the perfect sticky rice. Don't follow the recipe on the bag of rice...instead, try pouring 2 cups of rinsed long grain or medium rice into the nonstick bowl, and then fill the water to the 2 1/2 cup line (the bowl has measuring lines on the sides of the bowl).

Puck Rice Cooker Wolfgang

This recipe makes great sticky rice! Also, the rice cooker turns off automatically when it's ready to eat, and defaults to a warming mode that keeps rice fresh.
Puck Rice Cooker Wolfgang
I was skeptical buying this one because there were so few reviews, however, the other rice cookers/steamers in this price range had such mixed reviews that I took my chances on this one. I love it! The rice was cook perfectly, no burnt rice on the bottom at all. Also, the keep warm feature does not burn the rice either.
Puck Rice Cooker Wolfgang
