“Dutch oven Beef Stew” 🥣👨🏽‍🍳

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 lbs chuck beef, trimmed of fat and cut into 1 1/2-inch size pieces
1 Tablespoon flour you can use all-purpose, white whole wheat, whole wheat pastry flour, or gluten-free flour blend
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 carrots, stem removed and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 celery stalks, cut into chunks
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tablespoon Worstceshire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely minced
3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 cups beef broth
salt & pepper
3-4 medium-sized red or yellow potatoes, cut into quarters

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Season the beef, then coat in flour: Season the beef pieces with a healthy pinch of salt. Then, toss them in the tablespoon of flour until each piece is evenly coated.
3. Brown the beef: Heat a Dutch oven on medium heat with olive oil, and brown the meat on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Then transfer the beef onto a plate when finished.
4. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot you cooked the beef, add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until soft (about 4-5 minutes) with a pinch of salt. Then, add the minced garlic for 1 minute.
5. If the bottom of the pan is dry, add a splash of beef broth to deglaze the bottom using your spoon to scrape up any bits from the bottom.
6. Add remaining ingredients. In the same pot as the sautéed vegetables, add the browned beef, cubed potatoes, thyme and rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
7. Season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper and stir ingredients together.
8. Cover, and roast. Cover the pot with a fitted lid, and roast for 1 and 30 minutes at 375F.
9. Peek at the stew at the 1-hour mark and add any extra broth if needed. When it’s finished, add the chopped parsley, taste, and season with additional salt & black pepper until the flavor is just right. Then Enjoy!!😊

“Homemade Apple-butter”👨🏽‍🍳
INGREDIENTS:
4lbs apples (roughly 10 small-medium apples)
1/2 cup apple juice, apple cider, or water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 cup light brown sugar, packed*
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Core and chop apples into chunks. Peeling, optional. Place apples into a large stock pot.
2. Add apple cider, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir together.
3. Cover, and cook (light simmer) over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples have become very soft. Approximately 1-2 hours, depending on the variety of apple.
4. Use an immersion blender to puree apples in pot or spoon into a blender and puree in batches. Return pureed apples to the stovetop to cook for an additional 30-60 minutes or until thick, and a deep brown color.
5. Check doneness by placing a spoonful onto a plate and allow to cool. If there is no water separation, the apple butter is ready.
6. Spoon mixture into jars. Refrigerate 3 weeks up to 1 month.

NOTES
SUGAR: Keep in mind, the sweetness of your apples will determine how much sugar you will need to add. Apple juice will also add sweetness. Adjust the added sugar according to your apples and preferences.
TO FREEZE: Spoon apple butter into freezer containers for several months up to one year.
FOR CANNING: Ladle into sterilized jars, wipe the rims clean, screw on fresh lids and submerge in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove jars from water and cool to room temperature. Processed jars of apple butter will keep at room temperature for several months.😃

“Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes”👨🏽‍🍳
Ingredients: 🔹3/4 cup milk
🔹2 tablespoons white vinegar
🔹1 cup flour
🔹2 tablespoons sugar
🔹1 teaspoon baking powder
🔹1/2 teaspoon baking soda
🔹1/2 teaspoon salt
🔹1 egg
🔹2 tablespoons melted butter
🔹1+ cup fresh blueberries
🔹more butter for the pan.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix the milk and vinegar and let it sit for a minute or two.

2. Whisk dry ingredients together.

3. Mix in the egg, milk, and melted butter.

4. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Melt a little smear of butter in the pan (essential for giving them a reeeeally yummy golden brown crust). 5. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the hot skillet and spread it flat-like (it will be pretty thick). Arrange a few blueberries on top. Cook until you see little bubbles on top and the edges starting to firm up. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are cooked through.

6. Serve with butter and maple syrup. But honestly, sometimes I just like to eat these plain. YUM, YUM, YUM.

BONUS: For thick pancakes, use 3/4 cup milk as directed. For lighter, slightly less fluffy pancakes, use 1 cup milk. 😃

Aluminum and non-stick cook ware are toxic!

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many other chemicals that are in non-stick coating.

These chemicals are linked to liver damage, certain types of cancers, thyroid disease, infertility, high cholesterol, obesity and several other health conditions.

Cast iron, glass and stainless steel cookware is best. Copper and ceramic are acceptable also just as long as they are not aluminum coated with copper and ceramic.

“Easy Turkey Brine” 🦃👨🏽‍🍳
Ingredients:

🔹Wet Brine:
16 cups water divided
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon dried red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 bunch fresh thyme
2 heads garlic sliced in half
*14 to 18- pound turkey cleaned, innards removed.

8 tablespoons kosher salt
4-8 tablespoons freshly cracked black peppercorns
4 tablespoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons paprika

🔹For the Wet Brine:

Remove bird from brine, discard brine and roast as needed.

“Easy Caramelized Banana topping” 👨🏽‍🍳
Ingredients:

Bananas
Sugar
Olive oil
Instructions:

1. Slice and coat the bananas with sugar. They can be in the form of round coins or lengthwise strips. The important thing is to slice them thickly and evenly and to coat each slice generously with sugar.
2. Grease, and preheat the skillet. This step is crucial because you don’t want the sugar and bananas to stick to the pan. Preheating is also vital because it gets the caramelization going.
3. Caramelize the bananas until they are light to golden brown at the bottom. Lift them carefully with a fork to check.
4. Flip the bananas over and cook the other side. This will take a lot less time, about 1 minute. Again, keep a close watch on the sugar and the bananas to ensure they don’t burn.
5. Serve and enjoy!
