Crocking & dusting off the old blog....  

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Hi ya'll! I have let this blog get dusty! It has been over a year since I last posted! Wow I am going to try to be better about that!

Well It is back to school time! This means that our schedules are CRAZY BUSY! Today I started to feed my freezer (no my freezer is not possessed!) with meals. My cousin in-law recently told me about The Crockin Girls cook bk. I knew about their FB page but did not know they had come out with this AWESOME cook book. 

  http://www.crockingirls.com

Please head on over and show them some love! They are GREAT!

Time: 45min max
Made: 6 meals
1 for today and 5 for the freezer 
 (not all recipes are from their cook book, some are my own)

Here is the recipe for the one I made both for tonight and another time.  (click on the picture and then click again to make bigger)
 

Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken: 

1 bottle of Teriyaki marinade 

1 20oz can of chunked pineapple

1/4 cup onion diced

2 minced cloves of garlic

4 frozen or fresh unfrozen boneless skinless chicken breast


I throw it all in my crock liner bag, then take a rubber band seal bag then place in a big ziplock freezer bag, lable and throw in the freezer! 

To use: take out of freezer (FROZEN!) in the morning, take inner bag out and rubber band off. Place liner bag in crockpot, cook on low for 8 -10 hours, and go enjoy a cup of coffee! Dinner will be ready around 6pm! You can always use the keep warm feature if your crock pot has one and eat later than that if needed.

 
 

 





I will be posting more crocking meals in the future. Real life is calling my name (Mommy!) at the moment. Hope you all have a great day!

You're in Charge of This Class!

Hi, this is Shelley from One Roast Vegetable.

I've just created a brand-new cooking for the freezer class called "Fresh From The Freezer: Healthy Meals for Busy People." Short video lessons, showing you step-by-step how to successfully use your freezer to help make meal preparation easy :)

I was originally going to sell this class for $42.

As you probably know, my 14-week Back to Basics Cooking Class sells for $37 and my Fabulous French Desserts class is $29. I could easily sell this new class for $45 or more.

But after more than 4 years of teaching cooking online, this time I want to do something SUPER SPECIAL. I want to give away the new "Fresh From The Freezer" class to ALL of my subscribers.

In fact, YOU are going to determine just how fabulous this class is.
Here's how it works.

1. Enter your first name and your email address on the sign-up form on the right.

2. You get instant access to the lessons!

3. Now send an email to three of your friends (or more) and invite them to sign up here > www.FreshFromTheFreezer.com. (If you're an affiliate, be sure to use your affiliate link.)

4. You can also post a message on Facebook or Twitter and invite your friends to sign up here > www.FreshFromTheFreezer.com.

Then you'll see that something magic will happen. The more people sign up for the class, the more videos I'll release :)

Beef Potpie Wedges  

Thursday, February 25, 2010

Marcus Nilsson

By: Rachael Ray
From: 30-Minute Meals

Dig into this warming dish to chase away the last of the season's chill.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • One 2/3-pound piece skirt steak or flat-iron steak, thinly sliced on an angle and cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 white mushroom caps, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 package (2 pieces) prepared piecrust
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Serve this dish with a green salad.

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°. In a medium skillet, heat the EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the butter to the skillet to melt, then add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the beef stock, peas and Worcestershire sauce. Return the meat to the pan and cook until the sauce thickens and the peas heat through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; remove from the heat.

  2. Unroll the piecrusts and halve them. Divide the cooled meat among the 4 piecrust pieces, placing a mound on 1 side of each piece and leaving a small border. Brush the edges of each piecrust piece with some of the egg. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, pressing down on the edges; crimp with a fork. Brush the tops of the dough with more of the egg and transfer the pies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden-brown, about 10 minutes.
