We Need YOUR Fresh & Fast Recipes!


National Cherry Popover Day

 
Popovers are the American version of Yorkshire pudding
~~~an egg batter that puffs up and over when baked
in a muffin tin.  They work great
with a sweet or savory topping!
             
   
                                      

Stovetop Suppers

                               Stovetop Suppers...



                     Quick & easy recipes that only use one pot, pan or skillet!

     We need YOUR recipes when schedules are busy, the time to make good, wholesome dinners often can be cut short...SHARE your best single-skillet meals.  Stovetop Suppers...not only is each one super-simple, but one pan, pot or skillet means less clean-up but more time to spend with family & friends.

 
Italian Turkey Sausage
 
1 pound pkg. Italian turkey sausage kinks
28 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
dried oregano and dried basil to taste
10 0z. pkg. frozen broccoli, cooked
1 pound pkg. whole-wheat penne pasta, cooked
(These last 2 ingredients can be cooked quickly in the microwave)
 
Place sausages over a grill pan over medium heat.  Cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, remove from pan and let cool.  In a large skillet over medium heat, combine tomatoes with juice and seasoning; bring to a simmer.
Slice sausages into bite-size pieces and add to sauce.  Add broccoli and pasta to skillet.   Return to a simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until heated through.  Serves 4 to 6
 
Enjoy!

Ratings & Reviews:

                                            **** I just realized that I hadn't rated this!
                                            This is wonderful!  I love having the control
                                            over the fattines of the turkey as well as the
                                            spicyness.  My only change is  adding poultry
                                           seasoning, which I love, and I usually don't
                                           need olive oil since the turkey I generally use
                                           is 93% fat free.  This has become a family
                                           staple.  I do up to 3 pounds at a time and then
                                           freze it to have on hand for pizza or to throw
                                           into sauces or soups/stews.
                                           Fabulous!!  Four star rating!
               
 

Blackberry Patch ~ Feather Your Nest


                                   Feather Your Nest

                                         Blackberry Patch ~ Feather Your Nest...

September has arrived and while the days are still sweltering here, tomatoes, berries  and watermelon from our local grocer really make up the difference for the heat!  Keep a pitcher of tea in the fridge for cooling off.  Hope you're
enjoying these still warm/hot days wherever you are!  In this edition we're asking for Stovetop Suppers from our families to keep our kitchens cool...
no  oven required!

Thanks for joining us ...we're so glad to have each one of you in our Blackberry Patch family.   Keep an eye out for something new kicking off this fall.  We'll have more to share next time, so stay tuned.
