Sometimes I like foods that are nutritious, yet delicious, but sometimes I like delicious and not so nutritious. I have been the co-owner of a fried chicken franchise in Michigan, and a family style restaurant in Montana. My mother was a professional cook in her early years, and I have gained a love of cooking and baking from her. Recipes received from other sources are duly noted; otherwise they are my own.GrammaNitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13851646960653141079noreply@blogger.comBlogger132125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191969627655024941.post-27531720595815647062020-10-07T18:58:00.002-07:002020-10-07T18:59:49.507-07:00MEATBALLS<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">MEATBALLS:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> 1 ½ lb. ground meat</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> ¾ cup quick or old fashioned oats, uncooked</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> ½ tsp salt</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> ½ tsp garlic salt</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> ¼ tsp pepper</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> ¼ cup finely chopped onion</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> 2 Tbsp milk</span></p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-63e06803-7fff-73d2-9a6c-07510ebe0b14"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">1.Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

muffin tins or put paper liners in the muffin tins.<br />

bowl add your flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix it all
together.<br />

egg, and oil. Whisk it all together.<br />
6-Pour the wet ingredients
into the dry ingredients. Mix it until it’s just combined. It
doesn’t have to be smooth. Do not over mix. If you over mix it then
the tops will be more like a tall cone. You want it to be a nicely
rounded top.<br />
7-Fill the muffin tins about ⅔ of the way
full.<br />
8-Add any mix-ins on top of the muffins and then get a
toothpick to stir them in a little. Again, try not to over mix

before taking them out.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2. Heat skillet to medium high</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. Add <b>cooking oil </b>to generously cover bottom of pan </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> (I like to use olive oil)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4. For each serving, add:</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> 1/4-1/2 cup chopped onion</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5. Stir while cooking for about 5 minutes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6. Add: <b> 1/2 can chicken, drained, </b>OR equivilant of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b> 1 chicken tender, </b>cut up and thoroughly cooked* </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7. Cook about one minute while continuing to stir.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">8. Add:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <b> 1/4 cup cashews</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Your favorite <b>oriental sauce - </b>enough<b> </b>to lightly </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> cover ingredients, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">continue to stir for about </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> one minute. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">*NOTE: if using <b>fresh chicken</b>, cut into pieces and cook in skillet first, then set aside. Make sure chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add chicken at the end with the cashews and sauce.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">OPTION: Instead of chicken, use cut up meatballs. I used frozen fully cooked meatballs, and microwaved them enough to thaw a little, so I could cut them into pieces. Add as step #6. This is especially good with Panda Express Mandarin Sauce. Very tasty!</span><br />

<span style="color: #121212; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I found this recipe on Facebook on Tasty from Buzz Feed. It was a first-time success! The only problem was that it seemed way too salty (this from a person who likes lots of salt!) I have adjusted the recipe and tweaked it a bit. This is a chewy crusty bread that is absolutely delicious! The recipe makes </span><span style="color: #121212; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 loaf.</span></h2>

<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1.
Stir sugar and yeast packet into water and allow yeast to bloom. (A light foam
should appear on top of the water after about 5 minutes. This means
the yeast is alive and active.)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt thoroughly with a whisk. Once incorporated,
create a well in the middle and pour in the water/yeast
mixture.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3.
Mix by hand, wetting your working hand before mixing so the dough
doesn’t stick to your fingers (or use disposable kitchen gloves.) The water and flour should come
together and a form rough dough that pulls away from the sides of the
bowl. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour in small increments,
about 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too dry, add more
water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Once the dough has come together,
cover it with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with pan spray, and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1.5 to 2
hours).</span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4.
Uncover the dough and give it a few pokes with your finger. If the
dough has risen properly it should indent under the pressure of your
fingers and slowly deflate.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5.
Using your hand or a rubber spatula fold the dough. Starting from the
rim of the bowl, work the dough loose from the sides and fold it up
and towards the center of the bowl. Rotate the bowl and
repeat until all the dough has been pulled from the sides and folded
towards the center. Once finished, cover and allow the dough to
continue to rise for another 1.5-2 hours, or until double in size.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">

<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6. Gently remove dough from the
bowl onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle a small amount of
flour on top of the dough. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7. Using your hands, begin to shape the
loaf. Fold the dough over itself several times to form a ball, then
claps together the seams of dough together. Place the dough
seam-side down in a clean bowl that has been coated with olive oil
and flour. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">8.
Meanwhile, take a 6-quart seasoned dutch oven (or heavy cooking pot with
oven-safe lid) and place it inside the oven. Preheat the oven to
450˚F/230˚C and allow it to heat up with the pot inside for 45
minutes.</span><span style="color: #073763; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">MY NOTE: If your dutch oven has legs, put it on a cookie sheet so it will not get caught on the oven rack</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="border: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">9.
Remove the pot from the oven and place it on a trivet or heat-safe
surface. (Be careful! It’ll be VERY HOT.) Turn the proofed dough
over onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a round ball with seam side down. Carefully place it inside of
the pot. Cover with the lid and return the pot to the oven. </span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">NOTE: If you are careful, you can open the oven door, pull the cookie sheet with the dutch oven forward, remove the lid, then slide the dough into the pot. Much easier than lifting a hot dutch oven out of the oven.</span></span></span></div>

Bake at 450˚F/230˚C for 45 minutes, removing the lid for the last
15 minutes. </span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">NOTE: I keep forgetting to take the lid off, and it comes out fine.</span></span></span><br />

Remove bread from pot and allow to cool for 10 minutes before
