I wanted to try something different and found another one of Nanny’s recipes that looked interesting. To clarify Nanny is my dads mother and Granny is my moms mother. Ingredients: 1 broiler fryer chicken, cut in pieces (used 4 boneless breast, thighs would also work) 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper (also…
Quick Turkey and Dumplings
We just celebrated Thanksgiving in the States, it’s a time to be thank full for what you have and share it. My family usually has a turkey, ham, sides and everyone who is able contributes (blessed). A couple of days after most will have leftover turkey that is starting to dry out and I had…
Roast Brisket with gravy
My Grandmother “Nanny” used to cook a beef brisket in the oven and it was delicious. Here is my attempt to recreate it (R.I.P Nanny). Ingredients: 1 to 2 lb beef brisket (used a 1 lb) 2 cups of beef broth (used 2 cups water and 1 bouillon cube) 1/2 cup red wine 2 carrots (cut…
Pan Pizza
This is what I would consider a successful home pizza. No fancy measuring, no pizza peel, none of that complicated stuff. My mom stopped by and had a couple of pieces and said “really good” several times. Last nights Tamale Pie didn’t turn out how I wanted, alot of time with marginal results. Dejected but…
Homemade Pizza #57
Again I’m searching for the ‘Holy Grail” of pizza and finally feel I’m getting closer. There are many factors that make a pizza just good or give me another piece really good. This is as close as I have gotten so far. I wanted to make this fun and not break out the scales to…
Sloppy Joe’s for 2
You don’t have to buy the stuff in a can, it’s easy to make and one of my favorites. When I was a child my mom made the best sloppy joes and we would top it with american cheese and cole slaw. I decided to try my own small version following Ree Drumonds original version….
Poached “Boiled” Shrimp
My search for South Carolina shrimp has lead me to a local gas station parking lot. Having no luck in the grocery stores I decided to stop in and check the guy selling fresh shrimp out of the back of his truck. He goes to McClellanville on Wednesday and gets the shrimp fresh of the…
One Pan Enchilada Bake
This is easy and tasty, if you can brown some hamburger and turn on the oven you got this. The star is canned biscuit’s, I don’t usually use them but for this they play well. If you want a real biscuit in a hurry use the frozen ones (tip from my Grand “Nanny”). This should…
Onion Casserole
In my youth I remember my Aunt Mary’s onion casserole and I have the dish she used to cook it with. I just didn’t have the recipe, but after a 30 minute phone call now I do (we had alot to catch up on). This is not an entree but a condiment to whatever your…
