I was recently gifted with a bag of Cortland apples and two 1/2 gallons of cider. First, I froze one 1/2 gallon of cider – just make sure you leave enough breathing room for the cider to expand. I got thinking that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I could use some of the … Continue reading
A few years ago my sister Marna, mentioned it would be nice to have a gravy for a pork tenderloin I grilled. So, I did a little searching and came up with this recipe. Very basic and simple – I like the addition of soy sauce and she did too! I just checked the dates … Continue reading
Thanksgiving will be very different this year as I plan for a stay-at-home dinner without family. First of all instead of a huge whole turkey I will be cooking a turkey breast (my favorite part). So, I won’t be making my fancy gravy when I roasted chicken wings and veggies to get a beautiful chicken … Continue reading
My first thought was how delicious a stew using pork and apple cider would be. I mean I have lamb and beef recipes so why not add pork to the list. Apples are an ingredient which makes this the perfect Fall recipe. Be sure to serve it over egg noodles or at the very least … Continue reading

This is an old recipe by author/chef Sheila Lukins, I believe. Gene wanted mashed potatoes just about every couple of weeks and if I could provide a gravy as well that made him even happier. These frozen concentrated bouillon cubes were the answer for me when I needed a quick, but delicious gravy. If you have about 5 hours … Continue reading
Turkey breasts cooked in a slow cooker always turn out very tender and moist. If you want the skin browned you can always cook it for an extra 15 minutes in a 400°F oven. See also my recipe from Weight Watcher’s Lemon Pepper Turkey Breast for another good recipe. See important comment below. I do not recommend making this … Continue reading
Using a slow cooker is a great way to get moist pork chops and you get a gravy too even though it is a Weight Watcher’s recipe.

I prefer to do it about 1 month before the “big day” and then freeze it. See my recipe Chicken Stock … Continue reading
