Hi all;
I am looking for some good stuffed pepper recipes. I can't seem to find any when I want them. Thanks!

Hi Kaylin;

I want to first thank you for your perseverance in getting the e-zine back up. It was a long month or two not receiving it!!

I have a request that I am hoping people will be able to send me some ideas.

My parents are 79 and 80 and my mom's health is failing. She was diagnosed with cancer last year and the chemo is finally taking a toll on her. Besides cancer, she has heart failure and other ailments, including high cholesterol.

Since Mom has been the main cook in the family, Dad doesn't have a clue how to make dinners!! I have been trying my best to cook for them on a daily basis, but their taste and my families differ greatly.

I am hoping that someone can share some ideas for meals that can be made ahead and frozen in small containers that can be cooked or reheated in a toaster over (Dad won't use a microwave...ugh). They are not big eaters, but I would like to have a full meal for them at least 3 or 4 times a week. Dad can make hot dogs and beans and cook veggies, but that just doesn't cut it every night:)

They usually eat low fat, low or no sugar, use margarine and eat "whole" foods, whole wheat bread, bran, etc., rather healthy. They will eat TV dinners, but I think they are so bland and would rather make them some things. They do eat meat, but prefer chicken and fish (which I can't cook) and Mom can't have many greens, so salads aren't an option. I work full time and have a family of my own, so time is sparse. My brother will be coming in next month for a visit and I am hoping to have some good meal ideas that he can spend a day cooking and freezing which will keep us stocked for a little bit.

I appreciate all your efforts and ideas. Thanks guys. Thanks again for all your help and Kaylin for a fantastic job!!

Joan

Note from Kaylin: Have you checked out the O.A.M.C. pages on the RF4RP website? There are lots of ideas and starter recipes for this type of cooking here that may help you. Also, try making planned leftovers for your folks. When you cook for your family, make extra and freeze it for your parents. This is not really any extra work for you, and it can be done while doing what you would be doing anyway during your day. The only addition is delivering it to your folks. You can pick up containers at the dollar store that are safe to keep the meals in for re-heating in the toaster oven. Enjoy!


 

Every time I bake brownies, the edges always come out hard as a rock!! I follow the directions to a T but it never fails. HELP!! Thanks.

Here is a recipe for African Peanut Sauce. It was put into our church cookbook by a woman by the name of Karen, who is a missionary in Africa. It a favorite in Guinea, W. Africa. I would assume the bouillon would be either beef or chicken, depending on what you were serving it with, as the original recipe called for serving the sauce over cooked chicken or beef. I've never tried it, so I can't testify to the strength of the peanut butter taste, but looking at the ingredients, I'd think it wouldn't be too overwhelming.

                                                   African Peanut Sauce

1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1-3 T. oil
1/2 c. peanut butter
2T. tomato paste
1-2 bouillon cubes
salt and pepper

Brown onion and garlic in oil. Mix peanut butter with water and add tomato paste. Add to onion mixture. Gradually add 2-3 cups more water until the sauce is the consistency desired. Add crushed bouillon cubes. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer.

Amber,
I got this off of Dinners Made Easy from Betty Crocker today. I hope it helps!

                                                          Peanut Sauce

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3 to 4 drops red pepper sauce

1. Heat oil in 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion in oil, stirring occasionally, until tender; remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until blended (sauce will separate if overcooked).

This is a Peanut Sauce that we use on a regular basis. Don't be scared off by the long ingredient list - most of the items are things you probably already have in your pantry. If not, they are things that you can keep in the pantry for the next time you make the sauce.

Warm Ginger Peanut Sauce

Recipe By : Beverly Mills & Alicia Ross
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cloves fresh ginger
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil -- Asian Dark
1 tablespoon fresh ginger -- minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- or more to taste

Start to Finish: 10 minutes:
Peel the garlic cloves an drop them 1 at a time through the feed tube of a blender or food processor with the machine running and finely chop. Add the remaining ingredients one at a time, squeezing the lemon juice through a small strainer (to catch the seeds) directly into the blender or processor bowl. Pulse on high to combine well.

To serve, place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave, covered with plastic wrap, on high until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

NOTES : Author's Comments: Bottled fresh ginger is the perfect replacement for time-consuming fresh ginger. Called crushed, ground, minced, or chopped, depending on the brand, bottled fresh ginger is available in the produce section of larger supermarkets. Finely minced fresh ginger can be substituted.

The sauce can be stored covered for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Dorothy's Comments: This sauce goes a long way and has a great flavor. I have kept it longer than 2 days - over a week actually. It begins to separate if it is reheated too many times. Try to only heat as much as you will be using at a time. There is nothing in that that will spoil so don't throw it out, be creative and use it up. We use this sauce on lots of other stuff when we have it left over - pretty much any plain meat or fish works well. I also use it as a salad dressing when I have left over grilled chicken to also put on the salad. I have used bottled lemon juice in place of the fresh lemon - use about 1 tablespoon of the bottled juice.

Serving size = 2 tablespoons

No Bake Granola Bars

Recipe By :Dorothy Lowry
Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Baked Goods Family Favorites

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 3/4 cups crispy rice cereal
3 cups quick-cooking oats -- uncooked
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Combine first three ingredients in a large bowl. Bring brown sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a small saucepan over medium high heat; stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until well blended.  Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture; stirring until coated. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir in chocolate morsels.  Press mixture in to a 13 by 9 inch pan. Cool in pan. Cut in to bars.

Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 112 Calories; 4g Fat (28.6% calories from fat); 2g Protein; 19g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 52mg Sodium. Exchanges: 1/2 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 0 Fruit; 1/2 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbohydrates.

Dorothy's Notes: The raisins and chocolate chips can be replaced with any filler. I have used mini M&Ms, toffee baking pieces, nuts, dried cranberries, dried cherries, etc. I have found that freezing any chocolate additions before using them helps them hold their shape and reduce the mess when adding them to the warm bar mixture. These keep well in the pantry for a week or two, but for longer storage they can be frozen - they never last that long in our house!
