I have a simple recipe that my family and friends ask me to make again and again.

One Large bag baby carrots (boil until done)
Two packets Hidden Valley Ranch Original Dressing mix
One stick butter

Just sprinkle the cooked carrots with the packets, add the butter and stir till melted.

Even picky Jordan loves these carrots!

Another good thing to do with carrots is cook them in orange juice instead of water.

Cabbage Rolls

1 Large Cabbage Head
1 lb Ground Beef
1 Onion Chopped
1 Cup Rice (uncooked)
1 Egg
1 Can of Sauerkraut
1 Large Can V8 Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients except V8 Juice,Cabbage and Sauerkraut.
Cut core out of Cabbage run hot water over cabbage until wilted. Remove leaves and fill leaves with 2 Tablespoons of mixture, then roll up and place each into a large pot.. After all rolls are filled an rolled and placed into pot. Pour Sauerkraut and V8 Juice over rolls.. if rolls are not completely covered with liquid then add water until completely covered.. Bring to a boil then turn heat down an let simmer for about 45 min..

The way my Mother n Law does it is..Instead of making Cabbage rolls she just rolls mixture into large meatballs and then just makes layers of meatballs, cabbage and sauerkraut and then adds the V8 Juice and lets simmer for about 45 min..
Either way they are yummmy especially with a good ol slice of homemade cornbread.

Wow Starr...that sounds almost identical to my recipe except that I use stewed tomatoes instead of the V8. I also take the shorcut of just making meatballs and then layering the cabbage, krout and stewed maters.

Well, I got lazy and here and made it into a casserole instead of rolls.

I took a head of cabbage and shredded enough to put into the bottom of a 9x13 greased dish. (I think it was about 1/4 - 1/2 on the bottom when done)

I then browned my meat with onions, garlic, spices and then added my tomato sauce and uncooked rice.

I added this meat/rice mixture to the top of the shredded cabbage (DO NOT MIX TOGETHER) and then put some more tomato sauce on the top so prevent it from being too dry.

I cooked this in the oven for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours...it was yummy

OMG..just had to post this lol

Please read the entire recipe before looking at the picture.

This is for all you cooks out there looking for something a little different.

WANT TO HAVE FUN AT A PARTY? PREPARE THIS RECIPE! COMPLETELY EDIBLE, BUT YOUR FRIENDS MAY NOT THINK SO!

CAKE INGREDIENTS

1 box spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 box of white cake mix
1 package white sandwich cookies
1 large package vanilla instant pudding mix
A few drops green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls or equivalent

SERVING "DISHES AND UTENSILS"

1 NEW cat-litter box
1 NEW cat-litter box liner
1 NEW pooper scooper

Prepare and bake cake mixes, according to directions, in any size pan.

Prepare pudding and chill. Crumble cookies in small batches in blender or food processor. Add a few drops of green food coloring to 1 cup of cookie crumbs. Mix with a fork or shake in a jar. Set aside.

When cakes are at room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of the remaining cookie crumbs and enough pudding to make the mixture moist but not soggy. Place liner in litter box and pour in mixture.

Unwrap 3 Tootsie Rolls and heat in a microwave until soft and pliable.

Shape the blunt ends into slightly curved points. Repeat with three more rolls. Bury the rolls decoratively in the cake mixture. Sprinkle remaining white cookie crumbs over the mixture, then scatter green crumbs lightly over top.

Heat 5 more Tootsie Rolls until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with crumbs from the litter box. Heat the remaining Tootsie Roll until pliable and hang it over the edge of the box. Place box on a sheet of newspaper and serve with scooper. Enjoy!

Starr, I have a question about "running hot water over cabbage until it's wilted". Why? I am hoping you'll tell me that that makes it easier to remove the tightly "wound" leaves, the one obstacle to me making cabbage rolls more often.

Lumbele.. It does seem that running the hot water over the cabbage until wilted makes it a litte eaiser to remove the leaves and also seems to me that its eaiser to roll them up with the wilted cabbage.. :-)

Thanks, Starr. I'll try it your way next time. Until now I'd blanch the leaves before filling and rolling them, but separating them from the head would make them tear which messes up the rolling.

Did anybody compile the Roast Recipes? I bought a Round Roast and thought I'd look over some here before I went my good ole standbye route!!

I'm feeling like Betty Crocker today! I'm going to clean the dining room, but on a new tablecloth, candles, and actually make a dessert!! Real Dinner tonight, unless I have a nervous breakdown!! ROFLOL!!

Yummy roast.

I usually put the roast on early and let it cook slow.

Put it into a large roasting pan, add onion, garlic and what ever you like, You could mix up a package of onion soup mix and water and pour it over the roast. About 1/2 way though cooking add peeled potatos and carrots and you have a yummy tasting roast

For dessert, why don't you make an apple crisp.


Apple Crisp
6 c. sliced apples
1 TBsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup white sugar

1/3 cup white flour
2/3 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 butter

Arranged apples in greased baking dish, sprinkle with lemon juice and white sugar.
Mix flour, oats and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.

Sprinkle over apples.

Bake at 350-75 until apples are tender and topping is lightly brown.

Can serve alone or my favourite - with ice cream yum yum

I also..just kinda follow ingredients to this and add what you need for the size of dish you are baking it in.

drooling!!

for mine I usually sear it in a cast iron skillet, then put it in the oven for a length of time!! I've been cooking rib roasts that are tender, and I saw a great deal on this roast - eye of round, so I'm going to marinade it, then cook it, but I was debating on the slow cooker route, I like doing that for some of the holidays, and it just pulls apart so yummy, thicken up that au jus for a great gravy... So as I was searching, and missed our crock pot thread, I wanted to talk cooking!!

Thanks Skootz, this time I'm taking notes on 4x5 cards!!

OK, I finally finished going thru the archives!! LOTS AND LOTS of wonderful, lip smacking recipes I had forgotten about, I eliminated the discussion for purely selfish reasons, I wanted to just print them all out!! I think there is a lot of value in discussions, so dont get me wrong... I obviously posted, and expect people to discuss what works best...

Mexican Meat Loaf

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup coarsely crushed corn chips
1/3 cup taco sauce
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (I always add more cheese than that)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Press into a loaf pan. Cook in a 400 degree oven for about an hour.

You can baste the meat loaf with a bit more taco sauce along the way to keep it moist.

It's really a delicious meat loaf! I make it all the time!
