Sounds easy. And it’s only 1 hour! 6:15 pm I start cooking since Mr. Sauce, Esq. wanted dinner after 7. I do some prep–slice the zucchini, measure the rice, and cut the sausage into pieces. 6:45 pm this is when I start cooking in earnest and brown the chicken 7 pm brown the sausage. ItContinue reading 169. Chicken ‘N Rice Skillet
With so many of these cards, I do a little internet search as to whether or not the dish exists somewhere outside of the culinary world that is Dinner Is Served. A quick google of “Florentine Meat Foldovers” returns with Steak Florentine, Florentine Spaghetti Bake, and Beef Wellington (!?!?) Aside from the Wellington, I assumeContinue reading 211. Florentine Meat Foldovers
What do you do when your month of Wiener Wednesdays collides with Hannibal Week? You make a sausage-centric dish from Feeding Hannibal, that’s what! This is Heart With Sausage Stuffing. I could also just repost that time I made homemade sausages using the recipe from the cards I bought in the Hannibal Prop Store auction,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hannibal’s Heart with Sausage Stuffing
Happy National Biscuit Day, my friends! To mark the occasion, I opened the vault brought out this humdinger of a post from November 2012, when DiS1972 was just a wee toddler. Brace yourself, because this dish…OMG, this dish. It is emblazoned in my mind and has stuck with me for almost 8 years. Please enjoy……Continue reading National Biscuit Day! Better Homes & Gardens Meat Cookbook: Sausage in Biscuits (1971)
FUN FACT: as of June 30 I am unemployed. Yeah, only 2 weeks into the job they sent us to work remotely, and then 2 months later they decided to shutter the school. Permanently. So here I am, shit out of luck. Mr. Sauce, Esq. said that I had jinxed myself with the “I hateContinue reading 178. Calico Stuffed Peppers
The best thing to happen during the Holly Ball (aside from the majesty of Shrimp Sputnik ’18 and the fact that it was just a damn good party), was that I received a wonderful Christmas present from my dear friends, Dan and Jon–A set of the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery (1966). Woman’s Day actuallyContinue reading Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Vol. 11 (1966): Sausage-Apple Bake
I know what you’re thinking. Cooking chili in the middle of August? Yes, but: CROCK-POT! The most cooking I did was browning 2 sausage links and some ground beef (which served a dual purpose, as said meat will be featured in my upcoming PIEATHALON entry). I nixed the bacon because all I had was turkeyContinue reading Male Chauvinist Chili (1975)
DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS? IT’S PIEATHALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Yes, for the 4th year my food blogger friends and I exchanged pie recipes and got baking! (click here to see pies of years past) Except I didn’t exchange recipes. There was a mix up with people being left off and then dropped out and thenContinue reading PIEATHALON 4: Betty Crocker’s Chicken-Sausage Pies (1965)
Today we invite Hannibal the Cannibal back into my kitchen and make his sweet Italian sausage. Does that make this a Wiener Wednesday??? I think it does! If you recall, I purchased 3 recipe cards that were used as props on the most excellent TV show, Hannibal (R.I.P.). And, as with Hannibal’s Pork Liver WithContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Sweet Italian Sausage
After two years of brewing up some Holiday Glogg for Christmas Eve, I decided to switch things up a bit and make eggnog from scratch. After looking through some of my cookbooks, I decided on this recipe, which was taped onto the eggnog pages in my copy of The Savoy Cocktail Book. I have noContinue reading Four Roses Eggnog & Weenie Wreath (2013 Version)
So, according to Foodimentary, September 9 is National Hot Dog Day. Although I thought that the 4th of July is National Hot Dog Day. And other places say July 23. Whatever. As someone who’s made almost 52 frankfurter-based dishes in the past year, I feel obligated to observe this holiday. But I’m sure as hellContinue reading National Hot Dog Day: Top Dogs!
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When your boss gives you a plastic bag full of Hungarian Hot Peppers, you stuff the little buggers. Oddly enough, in one of my favorite cookbooks, Mama’s Recipes: A Treasury of Hungarian-American Foods, there wasn’t a recipe for any type of stuffed pepper–Hungarian or not. I really thoughtContinue reading Stuffed Hungarian Hots
Every time I hear “Crepes Suzette” I think of the theme song to the Patty Duke Show. I feel for you, girl. A hot dog makes me lose control, too. So Crepes Suzette. What is there to say besides “yum?” I had this as a breakfast/brunch. And yes, I do think that it is anContinue reading 118. Crepes Suzette
The Marguerite Patten Recipe Cards have returned! And with a vengeance! Feast your eyes on this: Well, these definitely look…weird. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from Ms. Patten! Let me get this out of the way: I didn’t make the little bacon rolls. Not because I didn’t want to! I just didn’t have any inContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Pork Sausage Croutes
Season’s Greetings, darlings! As of today at 5pm I will officially be on holiday break. And boy does that feel good. But perhaps I’m not feeling as good as Sausage Santa, here. Is Mr. Skogman making a friendly offering of tasty beef log? Or does that smile hide murderous thoughts of assault by salami andContinue reading A Very Merry Wiener Wednesday!
This week’s Wiener Wednesday is especially exciting for two reasons: 1. The dish is called Sausage Boatees. Boatee is totally not a word. I looked it up. But you know what is? BOOTY. So these will be known as Sausage Booties. Which, like so many dishes I make for Wiener Wednesday, sounds kinda porny (whichContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Sausage Boatees
Ohmygodyouguys! An actual Dinner is Served dinner! When was the last time that happened? Um, so long ago that I can’t even tell you how long ago it was that I made this dinner. So long ago that #49 was the card voted to be my 80th dinner. So excuse me if I don’t talk atContinue reading 49. Paella
This week’s recipe comes from Better Homes & Gardens Meat Cookbook (1971 edition) Sausage in Biscuits! That sounds tasty. Sausage: good. Biscuits: very good. Kinda like Nic’s British Sausage Rolls–which are just little pockets of heaven. But then you get into the recipe and realize that this is made from refrigerator biscuits, canned Vienna Sausages,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Sausage in Biscuits
