December 26, 2012

today was our first BIG snowstorm...we got about 6 - 7 inches...
but with the blowing and drifting...it is hard to tell...

our Sheba dog loves the snow.....we have to watch her though,
because she will fall asleep and be completely covered with snow...
I have lost her before....and now that she can't hear very well
 we put her inside when it was just started to snow.... silly doggy!!!!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

we made a new recipe for dinner tonight....another Meat Loaf

Cheese-Filled Meat Loaf : taste of home recipe....I changed quite a bit though
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup diced green peppers
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup diced onion
2 cups cracker crumbs

mix all of these items together and then add in 2 lbs of ground beef....
put a 14+ inch piece of reynolds wrap out on the counter...
spread your beef into a rectangle...


spread 1 cup of sour cream over the top of the beef mixture


then add 1 cup of shredded cheese over the sour cream


grease a 13 x 9 casserole dish....
roll the meat ....starting from small side....


place it into the dish seam side down and flatten the ends


bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes or until it reaches 160 degrees

add 1/2 cup shredded cheese on top and bake for 5 more minutes....


let it rest for 10 minutes.....we served it with steamed green beans....YUMMY!!!!

we ran out of our store bought Soy Sauce last night...so we gave it a try...

Soy Sauce : got this from chowhound.com .... but we made some changes (as usual)
4 Tbsp beef bouillon
4 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp molasses
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp thai fish sauce
1 1/2 cup water

in a sauce pan....combine all ingredients and boil gently uncovered for 5+ minutes.....store in refrigerator.


Pleasant Dreams!!!
