Local and organic products are what I strive for. I love to bake and cook from scratch. There really is a difference when you use the freshest ingredients and make it yourself. I do it all from my home on Long Island, NY where the farm stands and my garden give me much of what I need. When you use local and organic ingredients you are being kind to the planet.Reillybb12http://www.blogger.com/profile/16468407208591092787noreply@blogger.comBlogger456125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876312366979020804.post-87395623401385493122017-03-12T20:44:00.001-04:002017-03-12T20:49:52.210-04:00Lamb Meatballs with Yogurt Dipping Sauce<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I was in the grocery store and saw a package of ground land and decided to buy it. Then I got home and had no ideas. I decided that lamb is used frequently in Greek cooking so Mediterranean flavors would be the perfect match. The cool yogurt Sauce is a nice balance to the Meatballs. The Meatballs are soft inside and crunchy outside. All of these items are easily found in your local store and this recipe is quick and easy to make. If you want to use these as an appetizer for a party, make smaller Meatballs. If you want to make them as a main course, make 15 Meatballs. They are great either way.<br>
<br>
Ingredients:<br>
<br>
For the Sauce:<br>
16 oz container of plain yogurt<br>
1 tsp fresh chopped dill<br>
5 leaves fresh mint, minced<br>
1 garlic clove, minced<br>
Zest of 1/2 lemon<br>
Juice of 1/2 lemon<br>
Pinch salt and pepper<br>
<br>
For the Meatballs:<br>
<br>
2 large garlic cloves, vminced<br>
1 TBS fresh parsley, minced<br>
1 TBS fresh mint, minced<br>
1 tsp fresh oregano, minced<br>
3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs<br>
1/2 tsp salt<br>
1/4 tsp black pepper<br>
1 TBS olive oil<br>
1/2 cup whole milk<br>
1 lb ground lamb<br>
<br>
Here's how:<br>
<br>
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.<br>
<br>
Start making the Sauce.<br>
<br>
Set a small holed strainer inside a medium sized bowl. Place three sheets of paper towel inside of that then place the yogurt inside the paper towel. This is to thicken the yogurt. Set aside.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkfvqWnJNbfvKHnjPcY6DgRIVAvPcrb7gUu5F9NlZaDllq5j1XF71_EcuDG80M_2nV1-WGWqFWMI9k_8D-gd1_3jEKr7bwGRrhXj8qgj7zF3VXalMtRXf6qeo5-M54cizIv1q_pZyu94/s640/blogger-image-922972875.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkfvqWnJNbfvKHnjPcY6DgRIVAvPcrb7gUu5F9NlZaDllq5j1XF71_EcuDG80M_2nV1-WGWqFWMI9k_8D-gd1_3jEKr7bwGRrhXj8qgj7zF3VXalMtRXf6qeo5-M54cizIv1q_pZyu94/s640/blogger-image-922972875.jpg"></a></div><br>

Add the lamb and use your hands to make a uniform mixture, being careful not to work the meat too much.<br>
<br>
Make into equal sized Meatballs and place on a cookie sheet.<br>

Bake for twenty minutes, turning halfway through.<br>
<br>
Turn up the oven to 450 degrees F and leave the Meatballs in for 5-7 minutes. You are trying to brown the koutside, not burn them. You do not need to wait until the oven is preheated to do this. Just crank up the oven with the Meatballs in there.<br>
<br>
Remove the Meatballs and set aside.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD77b6O84joBinAnyiYvBNHSofi_V_Ux7KAYr3R7boPdXjfVsUx7yW2T6Mlz3PyE-E7vJmS3LPycJNHX6qvr-35NxLFPzJ6H2qKGepU2LVN4D5Q6ZMUSNGc8XJE9UB5LQ4zO1WRxwGB1A/s640/blogger-image-2045552471.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD77b6O84joBinAnyiYvBNHSofi_V_Ux7KAYr3R7boPdXjfVsUx7yW2T6Mlz3PyE-E7vJmS3LPycJNHX6qvr-35NxLFPzJ6H2qKGepU2LVN4D5Q6ZMUSNGc8XJE9UB5LQ4zO1WRxwGB1A/s640/blogger-image-2045552471.jpg"></a></div><br>
While the Meatballs are baking in the oven, finish the Sauce.<br>
<br>
Pour the liquid that has come out of the yogurt down the drain. Discard the paper towel and place the yogurt into the bowl.<br>
<br>
Stir in all the remaining sauce ingredients into the yogurt and set is aside until the Meatballs are done.<br>

Serve the Meatballs with the dipping sauce on the side. This would go great with a Greek salad.<br>

As the season progresses, I have been getting more and more great produce and quiches are great ways to use up some of the fresh vegetables and herbs. The eggs, scallions, squash and basil are all from my share. The parsley and milk are from the farm market at the Garden of Eve. The cheese I used here is Parmesan but you can use your favorite cheese here. One of my favorites is goat cheese from Catapanos, this is also sold at the market. I used a store bought pie dough because I did not have time to make my own, but homemade works here too. The flavor of this quiche reminds me of early summer when the produce starts to come in. I know summer is here when squash and basil arrive. <div><br></div><div>Ingredients: </div><div><br></div><div>1 pie crust</div><div>1-2 TBS extra virgin olive oil</div><div>2 medium or up to 5 small squash or zucchini, mixed is good, diced</div><div>1 tsp kosher salt</div><div>1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper</div><div>2 scallions, cut into small rounds, green and white parts</div><div>5 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade </div><div>2 TBS fresh parsley, minced</div><div>6 eggs, beaten</div><div>1/3 milk</div><div>1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese or your favorite cheese</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. </div><div><br></div><div>Place the dough in a deep tart pan or pie dish.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavKZdXJdfpyyZN5B1JJtX8_YVkyrK6AD2aC5n1QqmTeIQaa-Kj66hjorRk7KuZ4etYuGYHgiUGlKY2u-WGoFSeoNWoYa3lOJx1Q4_JsI_PUZ2wOLQPMw7TC5x9FDlg0mZKZG54RkMFr4/s640/blogger-image-1711651155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavKZdXJdfpyyZN5B1JJtX8_YVkyrK6AD2aC5n1QqmTeIQaa-Kj66hjorRk7KuZ4etYuGYHgiUGlKY2u-WGoFSeoNWoYa3lOJx1Q4_JsI_PUZ2wOLQPMw7TC5x9FDlg0mZKZG54RkMFr4/s640/blogger-image-1711651155.jpg"></a></div></div><div><br></div><div>Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust.

I used the carcass to make the stock. The carrots, celery, thyme and onions were leftover from the stuffing and gravy. The only ingredient not leftover is the orzo. The best thing about this recipe is that it is more of a concept than a recipe in that most items can be substituted for something else you have on hand. The turkey meat can be chicken, turkey stock can be chicken stock or vegetable stock, and orzo can be any small pasta or rice. If you have some fresh parsley on hand use it, if you have leeks or shallots use them instead of, or in addition to, the onions and garlic. The point of this recipe is not to buy ingredients - it is to use what you have in the fridge and pantry. I used the meat from the turkey legs because that is what I had, but a combination of white and dark, or just white, can be used. The cheese rind is used to add a richness to the broth, if you do not have one it is ok to leave it out. One thing that you need for this recipe is the lemon. It is added at the end for a brightness to the soup. All of the ingredients are savory and the lemon wakes up the soup in a way that does not add lemon flavor. It is the secret ingredient that takes the soup from good to great. Do not add it at the beginning, it is added just before you serve.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>1 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil</div><div>1 small onion or 1/2 large onion, small diced</div><div>5 small carrots or 2-3 large, cut into 1/4 inch rounds</div><div>3 celery stalks, cut into 1/4 inch pieces</div><div>1 TBS kosher salt</div><div>1 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper</div><div>2 large garlic cloves, minced</div><div>5 fresh thyme sprigs </div><div>2 small or 1 large Bay leaves</div><div>1 Parmesan cheese rind</div><div>12 cups turkey stock, homemade preferred</div><div>3 - 4 cups cooked turkey meat</div><div>3/4 lb orzo</div><div>1/2 lemon</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Heat the oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat.</div><div><br></div><div>Once the oil is hot, add the onion, carrots, celery, salt and pepper. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhOyXyTBRhQksXsLJAjnuoIdY2u1Ttk_l4TrdVqyqGa4VeXtlE8c69XTOHitfO83blJ7VJH8UVh8ApCCS-zRtolWldnQI4Je6KCDBSKeM97MqbCWmc7dR1CAvZHhoAV9EZYQppzeCXvVg/s640/blogger-image-1116576293.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

But I am now home with a new baby so I hope to be able to create new recipes while I am home. This recipe comes from looking into my fridge and pantry and putting it together. The meat is from my CSA meat share and the veggies are a combination of CSA and organic from the store. The beef stock is homemade but a store bought version works too. If you can your own tomatoes use them, but I was out of them so I used San Marzano from my favorite Italian market; but any brand or type works here. As the weather gets cooler, this pot roast is a perct way to warm up. This only takes 30 minutes to put together but a few hours to cook in the oven so make this recipe when you are home for a few hours.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>2 TBS olive oil</div><div>2 1/2 lb top round beef roast</div><div>1/4 cup flour</div><div>1 TBS salt, divided</div><div>2 tsp pepper, divided </div><div>3 large carrots, cut into one inch pieces</div><div>3 large celery stalks, cut into one inch pieces</div><div>1 medium onion, cut into one inch pieces </div><div>8 oz sliced mushrooms, I used baby Bellas</div><div>2 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped</div><div>2 cups beef broth</div><div>1 sprig fresh rosemary</div><div>3 sprigs fresh thyme</div><div>2 Bay leaves</div><div>28 oz can crushed tomatoes</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.</div><div><br></div><div>On the stove, heat a Dutch oven with the olive oil inside on medium high heat.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWj6FzimD4PsM5WrDSXnMvbnURxGpUu39BYL6l1OfBUgYWePdoc0q2R2pMylZO-mB79htVdR8pc860iVZCIa6rFKIO_azMCC4kYc6KZxnpz7EinUCTK0aWBW5WaEDy6a2yBeBZ63s9AEA/s640/blogger-image-42397131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWj6FzimD4PsM5WrDSXnMvbnURxGpUu39BYL6l1OfBUgYWePdoc0q2R2pMylZO-mB79htVdR8pc860iVZCIa6rFKIO_azMCC4kYc6KZxnpz7EinUCTK0aWBW5WaEDy6a2yBeBZ63s9AEA/s640/blogger-image-42397131.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>In a medium sized bowl, add the flour and half the salt and pepper.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK6GdIth-xdgfMIM-XYI3ye86WPrz0r1qSQAF1uZ7bxaka35ysDbsgVyS5Qvu5mg3Mh1fCFyT7bcNgdC2wR8Sr61We7yUsXzwPwlR9hZLDWTjTkj5VhWXuk2T9qnBxFaJPzUEXhBsSu70/s640/blogger-image--1694074818.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK6GdIth-xdgfMIM-XYI3ye86WPrz0r1qSQAF1uZ7bxaka35ysDbsgVyS5Qvu5mg3Mh1fCFyT7bcNgdC2wR8Sr61We7yUsXzwPwlR9hZLDWTjTkj5VhWXuk2T9qnBxFaJPzUEXhBsSu70/s640/blogger-image--1694074818.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Add the meat to the flour mixture and coat it completely.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio7g3_wzWDnsnTdCauVQcKxfCFWU7WmB_Kx1DMkpl6s3bhLP0J2eC60uFCvxCmzjVd9nuVneFy_KZEHRW6HlJK5KP1jgBnkyIC2T2hp8VrxfkZNa-t8Ih7npRwMJTmVmyRS0b9SHIoDlA/s640/blogger-image--1818300799.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio7g3_wzWDnsnTdCauVQcKxfCFWU7WmB_Kx1DMkpl6s3bhLP0J2eC60uFCvxCmzjVd9nuVneFy_KZEHRW6HlJK5KP1jgBnkyIC2T2hp8VrxfkZNa-t8Ih7npRwMJTmVmyRS0b9SHIoDlA/s640/blogger-image--1818300799.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Add the meat to the heated Dutch oven and brown it on all sides.

All of the main ingredients are from my local farm. This time of year everyone has too many squash and this is a great way to use them up. I used yellow squash but zucchini can be used too. Leeks were from the late winter and early summer that I froze but fresh can be used. This recipe is easy and a quiche can be a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal. I used a store bought pie crust but your favorite homemade recipe would work too. All of my ingredients are organic but conventional works.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>2 medium size yellow squash, cut into 1/4 inch slices</div><div>1 pie crust, homemade or store bought</div><div>2/3 cup - 1 cup leeks, cleaned and sliced into half moon shapes </div><div>1 TBS fresh chopped parsley</div><div>1 cup crumbled goat cheese</div><div>10-12 eggs</div><div>1/2 cup milk</div><div>1 tsp kosher salt</div><div>1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.</div><div><br></div><div>Place the squash onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.

I have been trying to find creative ways to use up leftovers and pizzas is my new way. I use a store bought crust and then add whatever I have in the fridge. This serves many people and prevents me from throwing away food. If you do not have the ingredients here use what you have. You can use mushrooms if you do not have peppers and onions, or add some if you do. Use cheddar or provolone if you do not have Mexican mix and mozzarella. If you are out of barbecue sauce, use steak sauce or tomato sauce. The point of this pizza is to use what you have, not to go out and buy more. Enjoy the pizza.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>1 store bought rectangular pizza dough</div><div>2 cups leftover cooked steak, small dice.

First I made veal stock, the recipe is on this blog, then I made this delicious stew. The recipe is here as a guide for you as items are easily swapped out. If you do not have veal stock, use chicken stock or beef stock. The vegetables in this recipe are based upon what I had in my fridge. If you do not have leeks, use onion; if you do not have parsnips, add extra carrot; if you do not have baby Bella mushrooms, use white button and; if you do not have white wine, use red wine or just add extra stock. This stew is hearty and warming on a cold winter day. Enjoy.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Makes 3 quarts of stew.

I bought an electric version so it feels safer than that one I remember my grandma using and it is easy to use. I decided to make a recipe using it that was simple and stock is a great one to try in it. Veal was on sale at my local Italian market so veal was the choice for today. If you like to make stews or gravies using veal, this is the base for it. You can make this recipe on the stove top too. At the time when you add the items to the pressure cooker, simply add it all to a large pot on the stove and add 8-10 of water to the pot to account for evaporation and cook it for 3 hours on a low simmer.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>2.5 veal bones, I used neck bones</div><div>3 large carrots cut into 3 pieces</div><div>2 large onions, cut in quarters, skin can stay on</div><div>4 celery stalks, cut into 3 pieces</div><div>1 head of garlic cut horizontally in half</div><div>2 TBS olive oil</div><div>1 tsp salt</div><div>1/2 tsp pepper</div><div>1 cup red wine</div><div>6-8 cups water</div><div>2 Bay leaves</div><div>5 thyme sprigs</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.</div><div><br></div><div>Place the veal bones, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, oil, salt and pepper in a roasting pan and toss to coat.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQfhlxR_ipb4AO_CeJDWDG8AMcgMfnpNXlc2QFjPqGxM5PScwu1FMRch28pBaih4nurxQMCJBR5gzsZnCHr-s1mlO-Z3G1ThFAFbEkfcrqLVVEhsOXFWfSRig1lLycg8FKOGRCYD4sd4/s640/blogger-image-1094952636.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I sold my home and bought a new one. In between the sale and purchase, I had to rent for six months. During that time, I was out of sorts and most of my things were in storage. I am back and trying to get back into the swing of things. Here is the first recipe I have created in my new kitchen. <div><br></div><div>This recipe uses chicken stock but if you want to make it vegetarian you can use vegetable stock. If you do not have apple cider on hand, substitute vegetable or chicken stock for it and add an extra apple or two to add more apple flavor and sweetness. I made this recipe using ingredients from my fridge after a few trips to local farm stands. I used a red onion because I think it is sweeter when cooked, but you can use any kind you have on hand. In this recipe the cinnamon is optional, I did not use it but you may want to add some for an additional layer of flavor. This recipe does not use any dairy to make the soup creamy, it is creamy enough from puréeing it.</div><div><br></div><div>Makes 3 pints</div><div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>2 TBS olive oil</div><div>1 small red onion, diced</div><div>1 apple, any kind, peeled, cored and diced</div><div>1 large butternut squash, diced</div><div>1 garlic clove, minced</div><div>2 cups chicken stock, homemade and organic preferred</div><div>2 cups apple cider, local preferred</div><div>1/4 tsp dried sage, or 1 fresh sage leaf, whole</div><div>1 Bay leaf</div><div>1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)</div><div>Kosher salt</div><div>Pepper</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgty4QowuB3lmcCIWmMGylJVNCHe5jLvOeDm7g9adWZt8JI8wy2ppJ4GBCZtlZCAeUevR2M95IdN8Br7CedzgrJhy3a6RU_5_cTWrTOoy2PSY-RpUybBXSei4zGehg9CbhDP0gPa72Vsgk/s640/blogger-image--1806036646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgty4QowuB3lmcCIWmMGylJVNCHe5jLvOeDm7g9adWZt8JI8wy2ppJ4GBCZtlZCAeUevR2M95IdN8Br7CedzgrJhy3a6RU_5_cTWrTOoy2PSY-RpUybBXSei4zGehg9CbhDP0gPa72Vsgk/s640/blogger-image--1806036646.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Using a medium to large soup pot or Dutch oven, preheat the olive oil over medium heat.</div><div><br></div><div>Add the onion and apple.

This is a classic summer salad. Fresh tomatoes and basil are coming into season. Add some fresh mozzarella and you have a light salad that is perfect for a casual weekday dinner or a fancy dinner party. This is something that is just assembled and not cooked, perfect for a warm night. I use all local and organic ingredients from my local farm stand and the garden.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ingredients:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3 large tomatoes, cleaned. Do not use plum. Red, green, yellow or any color will look and taste great</div>
<div>
1 lb fresh mozzarella</div>
<div>
1 bunch fresh basil, cleaned</div>
<div>
Salt</div>
<div>
Fresh cracked pepper</div>
<div>
Olive oil</div>
<div>
Balsamic vinegar</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's how:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cut the tomatoes into slices, between a half and a quarter inch thick.</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Slice the mozzarella into the same size slices.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pick off large basil leaves. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You should have an equal number of tomato and mozzarella slices and basil leaves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
On a large platter or plate, time to assemble the salad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In three rows next to each other, layer a tomato, then a basil leaf and then a slice of cheese. Try to make the cheese and tomatoes the same size as you layer for a better appearance. </div>

Continue layering as explained above until you have filled the plate or you run out of ingredients. Any extras are a snack for you! </div>

Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the side and sprinkle a bit of each on top right before you eat it. This is to taste and need not be done if you do not like them. It just adds an extra punch of flavor.</div>

We sold our house and are living in a rental while most of our things are in storage, including my kitchen tools. But this recipe was an easy one to make and I have all of the ingredients and tools on hand. I used organic potatoes from the farm stand and my kitchen staples salt, pepper and oil. Not much easier than that. I serve these potatoes along side a grilled Ribeye Steak. What is better than steak and potatoes on the grill? I use a grill pan on the grill that is made for vegetables so the potatoes do not slip through the grates. If you do not have one, cut the potatoes thicker to prevent it and cook them a few minutes longer. These potatoes come out crisp and delicious, almost like a potato chip. They are so good.<div><div><br></div><div>Serves 6 people as a side dish or 4 hungry men at my house</div><div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div></div><div><br></div><div>6 medium size Yukon gold potatoes, about 2 - 2.5 lbs</div><div>3 TBS olive oil</div><div>1 TBS kosher salt</div><div>1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat the grill with a grill pan on it on high heat.</div><div><br></div><div>Slice the potatoes thinly so they are almost translucent but not so that they fold over onto themselves. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3mxz9BhK2uCfg1nDrbutxAOnwK317L93HmV0BOD_8LjGGlirpffo01Z3C27lNXYVT10keL3gcFi27IKzuUHLlqGC3NZoHwUQG9Z3RE3O3AFgGCiSKfw7SyQQ2q3MYglkktNL4NlLdd6A/s640/blogger-image-888995565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3mxz9BhK2uCfg1nDrbutxAOnwK317L93HmV0BOD_8LjGGlirpffo01Z3C27lNXYVT10keL3gcFi27IKzuUHLlqGC3NZoHwUQG9Z3RE3O3AFgGCiSKfw7SyQQ2q3MYglkktNL4NlLdd6A/s640/blogger-image-888995565.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj347mDim-KYi8AH3yXaKhL7K8gyWtNjfBw6vTor45YpyK5DFlH_XgCXiK8dXQb0-M2hBGzHOi4_J0F7PcZozDK-JvluYmsCAcgb1gpXxKqltwFVF_tK0mNO-im-qFcahBYXa0_1tt7xek/s640/blogger-image--1506915257.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj347mDim-KYi8AH3yXaKhL7K8gyWtNjfBw6vTor45YpyK5DFlH_XgCXiK8dXQb0-M2hBGzHOi4_J0F7PcZozDK-JvluYmsCAcgb1gpXxKqltwFVF_tK0mNO-im-qFcahBYXa0_1tt7xek/s640/blogger-image--1506915257.jpg"></a></div><br></div>In a large bowl, place all of the ingredients and toss until the potatoes are completely coated with oil, salt and pepper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQ-kSaH2rb1D2tvM5NVc6Na8a-gjyPi6cFjtwr3Qnjup3uEQE8v2UwCr-G0QL_QDKAun5FoSc1fYkwTmRRGVdlTOVKgAOF4ZT223knExQHvBQjaJ1YO4TOEiMAuz-qMTOsusSdQbmEaU/s640/blogger-image-1185776913.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQ-kSaH2rb1D2tvM5NVc6Na8a-gjyPi6cFjtwr3Qnjup3uEQE8v2UwCr-G0QL_QDKAun5FoSc1fYkwTmRRGVdlTOVKgAOF4ZT223knExQHvBQjaJ1YO4TOEiMAuz-qMTOsusSdQbmEaU/s640/blogger-image-1185776913.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div><div>Reduce the grill to medium high heat.

After we were all stuffed, there was still a lot of food left over. The antipasto that I put together was from our favorite Italian market where I could put all the things I wanted, in the quantities I wanted, into containers to take home and put together my dish. The recipe here is made using the things I had left over. The things here can be added to or subtracted from based upon what you have on hand or what you like. Olives, salami, pepperoni, Parmesan cheese or fresh mozzarella would be great in this salad. Fresh peppers and red onion would be a great addition too. You can use other kinds of pasta as well. Rotini, cavatapi or orzo would be good. But if you have leftover pasta from dinner, use that. This recipe is also good for a summer BBQ as there is no mayo to go bad and it can be served at room temperature as well as cold. Make your own version of this salad using this recipe as a guide. <div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>1 lb farfalle, cooked as directed on the box.

I wanted to come up with an easy recipe that is full of flavor. I found some local honey at a farmer's market but the orange is not local. But the flavor of orange and duck is so classic, I had to use it. When the duck is done, save the duck fat for later. Pour it through a fine mesh sieve into a heat proof glass bowl and store it in the fridge.

This recipe was made using things I already had in the house - beef and stock from the freezer; veggies from my crisper drawer courtesy of my winter CSA; and the pasta and herbs from the pantry. This recipe, like many soup recipes, can be changed based upon what you have or don't. If you do not have turnips leave them out, if you do not have baby Bella's, use white button mushrooms, if you have some frozen green beans throw them in etc. The soup is full of what I had on hand, so feel free to add your favorite veggies. This soup makes 11 pints or 5.5 quarts of soup. This recipe can be cut in half or thirds based on how much you have on hand. I used organic ingredients here but conventional ingredients are good too.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>2 TBS olive oil divided into 1 TBS each</div><div>2.5 - 3 lbs stew beef cut into 1 inch pieces</div><div>Salt and pepper</div><div>3 celery stalks, medium diced</div><div>3 carrots, large diced</div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2 leeks, cleaned and sliced</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1 medium onion, diced</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2 garlic cloves, minced</span></div><div>1 small turnip, medium diced</div><div>10 oz. baby Bella mushrooms, sliced</div><div>12 cups beef broth, homemade preferred</div><div>1 tsp dried thyme</div><div>1/2 tsp marjoram </div><div>2 Bay leaves</div><div>2 tsp dried parsley</div><div>1 cup farfalline pasta (mini bow ties)</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot on medium heat.</div><div><br></div><div>Add 1 TBS olive oil and heat until glistening.</div><div><br></div><div>Add 1/3 of he beef and brown on all sides.

The meats are always top quality and the guys who work there are knowledgable, friendly and will custom cut whatever you want. I saw these great short ribs in the case there yesterday and knew I had to buy them. Each rib was one half pound so when you make this recipe keep in mind how many ribs you need. I figure 2 ribs per person. I used 6 ribs however this recipe will be good for up to 12 ribs.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>3 - 6 lbs beef short ribs</div><div>3 TBS salt divided into 2 TBS and 1 TBS</div><div>2 tsp black pepper, divided into 1 tsp each</div><div>2 TBS olive oil</div><div>1 medium inion, large dice</div><div>4 celery stalks, large diced</div><div>3 carrots, large sliced</div><div>2 large garlic cloves, smashed</div><div>1 lager beer</div><div>1 28 oz can tomato purée</div><div>2 1/2 cups beef broth, homemade preferred</div><div>2 bay leaves</div><div>4 thyme sprigs</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how :</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat a large Dutch oven on medium heat on the stove.</div><div><br></div><div>Sprinkle 2 TBS salt and 1 tsp pepper on all sides of the short ribs.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhabOzOgb4rKque67revG8GJj8-7dfsDwbERRyJIU7KWHVHOFKSYHs1sGHhD13Ckw6kG1pXC1dPOKxI7owEStMuvHvvo6ZoXC0425UVHOhHJXvlh_g5g9mbKAfXOrusbOKI3SlXWSI3lC0/s640/blogger-image-923646162.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhabOzOgb4rKque67revG8GJj8-7dfsDwbERRyJIU7KWHVHOFKSYHs1sGHhD13Ckw6kG1pXC1dPOKxI7owEStMuvHvvo6ZoXC0425UVHOhHJXvlh_g5g9mbKAfXOrusbOKI3SlXWSI3lC0/s640/blogger-image-923646162.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Add the oil to the Dutch oven and let it heat until glistening.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDeLq7_wEBsUAqK_9ZBQ8xP7kCV1NrOqshUWM35zBsfGKa_c2bzu6s-QrpRXgy237WWkdXQLcjOFiVxlPpGGvpkbV0ODEWc1FJKfiErVoPTHOu2xn10DS-6TH5IwBTBiwBrzqOBov2Rc/s640/blogger-image--783269312.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDeLq7_wEBsUAqK_9ZBQ8xP7kCV1NrOqshUWM35zBsfGKa_c2bzu6s-QrpRXgy237WWkdXQLcjOFiVxlPpGGvpkbV0ODEWc1FJKfiErVoPTHOu2xn10DS-6TH5IwBTBiwBrzqOBov2Rc/s640/blogger-image--783269312.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Add the short ribs and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyfye2oLIi3yaNfg3YXRctp7k2sKbcdJbwHGjKqIkSQDfkp1ERTzhpVQjpP4q5dvSOB7Wp_8YcDKvOCUzb_ek_Utq1GJABn9ckfFlhr7f9F-T0yzKdPEsfgbVpxlfozVcUk5MTqREpl8/s640/blogger-image--641242779.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyfye2oLIi3yaNfg3YXRctp7k2sKbcdJbwHGjKqIkSQDfkp1ERTzhpVQjpP4q5dvSOB7Wp_8YcDKvOCUzb_ek_Utq1GJABn9ckfFlhr7f9F-T0yzKdPEsfgbVpxlfozVcUk5MTqREpl8/s640/blogger-image--641242779.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEnd7w450vn4S1ZJLA0NRCddGMrx8mTzSJ3xw9dnNG56e96qKGWL_S-G-ePpRSJ_Or5d6TPh__VybwEa7nCUhTgnylcwjpGZukggil0BKXW327-BfJ3NPJ0edvPJdZUcppe4ghvQJtvk/s640/blogger-image--795248800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEnd7w450vn4S1ZJLA0NRCddGMrx8mTzSJ3xw9dnNG56e96qKGWL_S-G-ePpRSJ_Or5d6TPh__VybwEa7nCUhTgnylcwjpGZukggil0BKXW327-BfJ3NPJ0edvPJdZUcppe4ghvQJtvk/s640/blogger-image--795248800.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div>Remove the meat and set it aside.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAfKDmdoF_qt4Fp19WKca3_n7y5MwSn4V2vhkO0ghv7RjKxdfISGiiHHszIyWrmIvHew5VXGf9N6dRquaHWEub891DzD_bsIeKbuDAg1rK1NcarxpjxNRykyr9PVAAPM35V6pkmUfLLaE/s640/blogger-image--1398403049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAfKDmdoF_qt4Fp19WKca3_n7y5MwSn4V2vhkO0ghv7RjKxdfISGiiHHszIyWrmIvHew5VXGf9N6dRquaHWEub891DzD_bsIeKbuDAg1rK1NcarxpjxNRykyr9PVAAPM35V6pkmUfLLaE/s640/blogger-image--1398403049.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and the remaining slant and pepper.

I wanted to use these ingredients in a hearty dish that would warm me up in the frigid Long Island winter we are having. I cut up my own chicken but you can buy a cut up chicken or ask the butcher to do it for you. You want the chicken cut into 10 pieces if you can because it cuts the chicken breasts into 4 pieces, which makes them cook evenly with the rest of the chicken. Also, save the back for chicken stock later. I made a double batch because I had a lot of people over for dinner, so this recipe doubles easily but cooks in the same time. Serve with some mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. <div><br></div><div>Makes dinner for 4</div><div> </div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>1 chicken cut into 10 pieces</div><div>1/2 cup flour</div><div>1 1/2 tsp garlic powder</div><div>1 1/2 tsp onion powder</div><div>1 1/2 tsp salt</div><div>1 tsp pepper</div><div>1 tsp thyme</div><div>2 TBS olive oil, divided </div><div>1 shallot, small diced</div><div>1 cup leeks, cleaned and sliced</div><div>8 oz sliced mushrooms, white or baby Bellas</div><div>3 garlic cloves, minced</div><div>1 cup white wine</div><div>1 bay leaf</div><div>1/4 tsp thyme</div><div>2 cups chicken stock, homemade preferred</div><div>1/4 cup heavy cream</div><div>Salt and pepper to taste</div><div><br></div><div>Here's how:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.</div><div><br></div><div>Heat a Dutch oven on medium heat on the cooktop.</div><div><br></div><div>In a small bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and thyme.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTdtauI5AFnv23SstPQbMUoqyfjaTo7hXYy9gPEEJxXFsWnBC8I9JKrlWhkFoT3dX6JwWGvnTDiQxMGLqsECwhdwjPWckPQn6GZeLWPZuyl7DmpX_3DTvKITxLor6v4jtSELUIBQyZL8/s640/blogger-image-506076506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTdtauI5AFnv23SstPQbMUoqyfjaTo7hXYy9gPEEJxXFsWnBC8I9JKrlWhkFoT3dX6JwWGvnTDiQxMGLqsECwhdwjPWckPQn6GZeLWPZuyl7DmpX_3DTvKITxLor6v4jtSELUIBQyZL8/s640/blogger-image-506076506.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPdp5g9eoA9QoYl1-QPvT-CTf3JXFk5cQ0Dslt5thnWs0CI_wa5FnDyk7Uf3mJZwraQR1IHoplf8bA2VlM6PJWC9oewO8wJUeQaTZIcVFRKFmE4Tn-ytkUYqIqkI4A7ssoh7_M1mua80/s640/blogger-image-765742977.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPdp5g9eoA9QoYl1-QPvT-CTf3JXFk5cQ0Dslt5thnWs0CI_wa5FnDyk7Uf3mJZwraQR1IHoplf8bA2VlM6PJWC9oewO8wJUeQaTZIcVFRKFmE4Tn-ytkUYqIqkI4A7ssoh7_M1mua80/s640/blogger-image-765742977.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Coat the chicken in the flour mixture and set aside. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOpp03-OhgbLWgHz3TH75ggnK4YWvROpW3HNGW1EPABdwdBEfxeswBkHmagnr_riQCuqy-vJfYL65WEBkuAFCgZSWhdH3ANgVYlPa9cawzMC-IAlysI3CjEGDkAS5qfwFoDn5et3zZLs/s640/blogger-image--451389048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOpp03-OhgbLWgHz3TH75ggnK4YWvROpW3HNGW1EPABdwdBEfxeswBkHmagnr_riQCuqy-vJfYL65WEBkuAFCgZSWhdH3ANgVYlPa9cawzMC-IAlysI3CjEGDkAS5qfwFoDn5et3zZLs/s640/blogger-image--451389048.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Add 1 TBS oil to the oven and heat until it glistens.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFmuF3GKJC0LWRJPBm-kNbVd1nMfXAnRcd4iah2Oj3bhlDwDr1y0pOfxMaDcGRWuPBf4ee0IyPhSM8FRiNh8sb3REANkM9JMNptIfjpiOGsYM02mdeYd2tOpJ4u61bSrJM7l_ra2qeyE/s640/blogger-image--1958829427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFmuF3GKJC0LWRJPBm-kNbVd1nMfXAnRcd4iah2Oj3bhlDwDr1y0pOfxMaDcGRWuPBf4ee0IyPhSM8FRiNh8sb3REANkM9JMNptIfjpiOGsYM02mdeYd2tOpJ4u61bSrJM7l_ra2qeyE/s640/blogger-image--1958829427.jpg"></a></div></div><div><br></div><div>Brown the chicken on both sides in batches.

I knew I could not throw it away and that I couldn't eat it all either. I decided to make macaroni and cheese for the upcoming Super Bowl party, therefore, I made a huge batch of it. This recipe makes a half tray but the recipe can be cut in half or quarters. Another option is to make the full batch and then divide it into containers for the freezer and future meals. This recipe is made with Bacon Cheese. The cheese has actual pieces of bacon inside of it. It is from Trader Joe's and has some great smoky flavor. You can use any combination of cheese you have left over but this Bacon Cheese is pretty awesome. I used half Swiss cheese in the recipe as it is a mellow flavor and it melts well. If you have cheddar or another kind of cheese, feel free to use that too. If you do not have the Bacon Cheese add 1/2 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon to the cheese sauce. The recipe is easiest to make if you shred the cheese, but I used cubes and cut up pieces and it worked fine. It just takes a bit longer to melt the cheeses. I also had some leftover dairy items to use up. I made this using half heavy cream and half 2% milk. You can use any combination of milk products you have on hand. Serve this as a side dish with your favorite barbecue foods or like me, as a side dish for the big game. This feeds a crowd.<div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>1 lb box pasta, I used Cellantani as it holds onto the cheese well</div><div>4 TBS butter</div><div>1 large onion, small diced</div><div>1 garlic clove, minced</div><div>4 TBS flour</div><div>2 1/2 cups heavy cream</div><div>2 1/2 cups milk </div><div>1 TBS Dijon mustard</div><div>1/8 tsp white pepper</div><div>12 oz.

My response is that it takes a long time. Also, he likes meat in it and I do not - that is way too much work for something I will not eat. But I have found a solution to this issue and it is called fresh lasagne sheets. I found the fresh lasagne sheets at my local Uncle Guisseppe's and I knew this was the way to go. Before this, the only way to make lasagne was to make homemade lasagne sheets or to use dried pasta that has to be boiled and drained. Since I always have homemade tomato sauce on hand this recipe was easy to make and it came out great - even with the meat the hubby wanted. Even I ate it! In my photos I am using 2 small aluminum trays that are each a half of a half size tray. This allows me to make two dinners for four people. The entire recipe makes dinner for eight.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Ingredients:</div><div><br></div><div>3 lbs bulk Italian sausage or links with the casings removed </div><div>2 quarts tomato sauce, homemade preferred</div><div>3 whole fresh lasagne sheets </div><div>32 oz ricotta cheese</div><div>2 eggs</div><div>1 TBS Dried Italian seasoning</div><div>Salt and pepper</div><div>24 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded</div><div>1 cup Parmegiano Regiano cheese or Asiago cheese, shredded</div><div><br></div><div>Here's now:</div><div><br></div><div>Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.</div><div><br></div><div>Brown the bulk sausage in a large sauté pan over medium heat, until the pink is just cooked out, about 7 minutes. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR8czCCpqciux9og5A0cZ0YeNex-6dZ4TXluEiLZgnfvtXQPO9Pzt-sR6xSG3w0ktfjfn6XP2pF9a-KIF7srLwfdru5mPJ_u_jiiWP2ZYjs1cqJEQl5VeyO7HhqwRZp43xGCNEzGxGyKU/s640/blogger-image--429552932.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR8czCCpqciux9og5A0cZ0YeNex-6dZ4TXluEiLZgnfvtXQPO9Pzt-sR6xSG3w0ktfjfn6XP2pF9a-KIF7srLwfdru5mPJ_u_jiiWP2ZYjs1cqJEQl5VeyO7HhqwRZp43xGCNEzGxGyKU/s640/blogger-image--429552932.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Remove the sausage from the pan, drain the fat out and set it aside.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now prepare the ricotta.

Each year I do a different theme for my Christmas tree. This year I chose Woodland. The tree has a bird house as the topper, cranberry garland, pine ones intersparsed, leaf ornaments, deer antler ornaments and woodland creature ornaments like birds and bears. I also only use white lights, I think it makes the decorations the star and not the lights. I buy my ornaments after Christmas when they are up to 90% off so it does not cost me a lot of money to do the different themes. Here are some pictures and how to ideas.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I star with a ribbon that goes with the theme. Here the red gives it a pop of color and the green gives it a natural feeling. The birdhouse as the topper gets the theme going.</div>

Next I add the cranberry garland in between the ribbon. This adds the natural feeling as well as bringing in more red. </div>

I like to brine my turkey for Thanksgiving. It adds juiciness and flavor to the bird, and it is so easy. I like to use the flavors from the dinner into the brine - apple juice from the stuffing; thyme, rosemary and sage from the herb butter and stuffing; onion from the gravy. You can use your favorite flavors for the brine but make sure you use the salt and sugar, this is what helps with the moisture in the meat. My turkey is 18 pounds but this can be done with any size bird or even a turkey breast. Just make sure you have a large enough container and that you cover the bird completely. I use organic herbs, sugar and spices but you can use conventional too. If you do not have fresh herbs you can substitute dried, use about 1 TBS per bunch. If you have only fresh, use 1 bunch per tablespoon. This recipe uses both fresh and dried.<br>
<br>
Ingredients:<br>
<br>
Large bucket<br>
3 cups boiling water<br>
1 cup kosher salt<br>
1/2 cup sugar, white or brown is good<br>
1 bunch fresh sage<br>
2 bunches fresh thyme<br>
1 TBS black peppercorns<br>
6 Bay Leaves<br>
1 TBS dried Rosemary<br>
1 TBS granulated garlic<br>
1 TBS onion powder<br>
4 cups apple juice or apple cider<br>
Ice cubes<br>
Turkey<br>
Water<br>
<br>
Here's how:<br>
<br>
Boil the water.<br>
<br>
Place all the ingredients except the apple juice, ice and water into the container.<br>

Pour the boing water into the container. Stir and make sure the salt, sugar, onion and garlic are dissolved into the liquid.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwg-yVAgcQ_cBgiAqq7oO1BeT5QlcyY9jLUBfn0iQKm4S9Xdy0wApBTYM05ErqZAzNKJCqOYngj7SjpUxeYoSHVpeTd5vrWV5_L-C9gFgGHDOhovjcz57gOSelnKbdcXX6xtaV7Aiz6IY/s640/blogger-image--1272554923.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwg-yVAgcQ_cBgiAqq7oO1BeT5QlcyY9jLUBfn0iQKm4S9Xdy0wApBTYM05ErqZAzNKJCqOYngj7SjpUxeYoSHVpeTd5vrWV5_L-C9gFgGHDOhovjcz57gOSelnKbdcXX6xtaV7Aiz6IY/s640/blogger-image--1272554923.jpg"></a></div><br>
Add the ice and juice. Make sure the liquid is cold again. If not, refrigerate it until it is. Do not add the turkey while the liquid is still hot.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhnU3KHDer-XKQOgKFQd8MV0rfBmJyrjP-EpBZCmF5zkQRxZx0AbKxXjmOQ3XZnF2zJfoUJqgS3zKsD_u8GtRlzFAEpC9qPuA8Jatq4_vHjpchIb6wUnKaVzNkGWhAeDZbfTLkH0zkebc/s640/blogger-image--1210235150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhnU3KHDer-XKQOgKFQd8MV0rfBmJyrjP-EpBZCmF5zkQRxZx0AbKxXjmOQ3XZnF2zJfoUJqgS3zKsD_u8GtRlzFAEpC9qPuA8Jatq4_vHjpchIb6wUnKaVzNkGWhAeDZbfTLkH0zkebc/s640/blogger-image--1210235150.jpg"></a></div><br>
Once the liquid is cooled, add the turkey. You add the water after the bird to make sure you do not overflow the container.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8X-WH6TG3LVkJPfAgUl9Jj2hkwkTJ6AFVB_Ur9yi_IBxaw-N9_OSl-m5ZWGK5lXUSk66MmjVxDnQGCMdoMI3viMiECF6nSoLGlIPQK9t9z_GUIYrMU3bQ_1nHUSqPFQyjvF_qXSmH28/s640/blogger-image-1258720997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8X-WH6TG3LVkJPfAgUl9Jj2hkwkTJ6AFVB_Ur9yi_IBxaw-N9_OSl-m5ZWGK5lXUSk66MmjVxDnQGCMdoMI3viMiECF6nSoLGlIPQK9t9z_GUIYrMU3bQ_1nHUSqPFQyjvF_qXSmH28/s640/blogger-image-1258720997.jpg"></a></div><br>
Cover completely with water and refrigerate over night or to two days.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGx5w8QafJ14KNgcEPrYHwIJ6F2GflS5tnCAEQmDWvnwzZr9xWMHONPhkayhF8fe0Gy0JVE-KeMQWlXlZ8fflwOoJqCqfsKQ6zrMIjXpZCgfyetkiwhS6omJ0y3gTgcs9E2jgjI1j5hRc/s640/blogger-image-1183223462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGx5w8QafJ14KNgcEPrYHwIJ6F2GflS5tnCAEQmDWvnwzZr9xWMHONPhkayhF8fe0Gy0JVE-KeMQWlXlZ8fflwOoJqCqfsKQ6zrMIjXpZCgfyetkiwhS6omJ0y3gTgcs9E2jgjI1j5hRc/s640/blogger-image-1183223462.jpg"></a></div><br>
When it is time to roast the turkey, remove the turkey from the brine and discard the liquid.<br>
<br>
Completely dry off the outside of the bird before you roast it to get a crisp skin.<br>
<br>
