My mother used to make the best liver and onions. It was smothered in a wonderful brown gravy and had lots of onions. I just can't seem to get it right. Also, she used to just cook the liver dipped in wheat germ and sautéed. Healthy, but not nearly as good as her old fashion smothered liver and onions. I just don't know how to make that wonderful gravy like she did??

Ditto is a quick learner.  What it took Siggy 6 months to learn it took Ditto less than 2 weeks.  Siggy was trained to bring me my cell phone if I fell.  I have muscular dystrophy and when I fall I often can't get back up without help.  I trained Siggy to bring me my cell phone so I could call for help. I guess Ditto watched Siggy bring me the cell phone because he learned very quickly. Ditto doesn't care for treats much so it took a while to find out what he would get for a reward.  Finally found that he would work for Scientific Diet Kitten food.  For him these are treats.  I got a sample package at the vet when he got his yearly shots.

Nice recipe for left over turkey. It is inexpensive and makes use of the extra turkey. I usually reserve all the scrap turkey pieces for this and freeze into packets.

Turkey Tetrazzini
Cook 1 pound spaghetti

In a saute pan place:
1 tbsp oil

Add:
1 medium onion chopped finely
3 cups sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp thyme, salt, pepper
Cook 5 minutes

Stir in till smooth:
1/4 cup flour
Then mix in:
2 cups cooked turkey (cut into bite size pieces)

Add:
3 cups warm milk (stir in 1/2 cup at a time to incorporate)
Then:
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp chopped parsley (fresh if u have) OR 1 tbsp dried

Stir and continue to cook for 1-2 minute(s), or until the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in: (if desired)
1/2 cup of dry white wine OR 1/2 cup more broth.

Place the spaghetti in a bowl and pour the sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with more parsley and Parmesan cheese and toss well. A salad is enough of an addition to this meal.

For dessert any left over dessert from the holiday is fine or if you have left over cranberry sauce make a:

Cranberry Mousse
Mix together:

1 3 oz pkg cream cheese (Room temperature)
1 cup any cranberry sauce (I like whole berry for texture)

Whip 1/2 pint container or 1 cup of whipping cream and fold into cream cheese mixture. Place mixture in dessert dishes. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
If making this recipe for a special function I either place in bought mini pie shells or mini milk or dark chocolate cups that can be purchased at either your grocery store or liquor store. Makes a great presentation.

My Own Cream of Onion Soup Casserole

I made this for 2 so use your judgement for amounts. Created it to use up leftovers from Sunday's grilling and now wish we had more leftovers!!!

Layer in order in greased 1 1/2 qt. Casserole

Sliced cooked potatoes
Grilled onions - any kind will do - or cook some in the house for this
Thinly sliced steak
Mushrooms, if you have them
Pour can of Cream of Onion Soup over all. Bake covered for 45 minutes until done.

It was so easy and so very yummy - we will be grilling again on Sunday no matter what the weather is here just to get leftovers for this!

I have a recipe request, I've got most of my menu planed out and just need another side dish, veggie, or maybe a casserole dish to go with the rest of the menu and I'm out of ideas. I am having smoked turkey (I think) and ham. The usual relish tray with cranberry sauce. This year I have decided to bake some potatoes instead of mashed and will serve a salad and au gratin spinach, plus some desserts. I will also have some Ol' #7 yams with the other items. Can anybody send in some fave recipes in one of the three categories I mentioned? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the recipes for the liver and onions, I made them for a Aunt that was visiting, she loved them, the milk does take away the strongness of the liver.

This for Sue in TN. I have made this and it is very good. I like to just spread some on a cracker and eat it.

East Texas Green Tomato Relish. or Catfish King's Relish
1 gal Chopped Green Tomatoes
3 Cups Sugar
3 lbs Chopped Onions
1/2 Cup Hot Peppers (more or less depending on how hot you want it)
1 1/2 Qt. Vinegar
1/3 Cup Salt

Simmer till Green Tomatoes turn brown in color. DO NOT BOIL. Ladle in jars and seal. Process in water bath at a simmering temperature for 15 minutes. This is the relish they serve at Catfish Kings I have been told.

Here is another recipe I was given but have never made.

Catfish Relish
2 gals. Chopped Green Tomatoes
1/2 gal. Chopped Onions
1 qt. Chopped Green Peppers
3 pts. Vinegar
1/2 cup Canning Salt
8 cups Sugar

Chopped all the vegetables. Mixed rest of the ingredients real well and pour over vegetables and simmer 10 minutes. DO NOT BOIL. Place in hot jars and seal. Water bath for 15 mins. The only differences in the two recipes is one calls for hot peppers and the other one calls for green peppers. If you have a lot of green tomatoes you might try both of them or just add hot pepper and green peppers to a batch and see how you like it.

Hi to all. I am brand new at sending to you after reading your site for a short time.

Sounds like this tip would help those who are planning a big thanksgiving dinner. The last few years before my husband passed away, I made my stuffing in the crock pot. I mixed it al together the night before and put it in first thing in the morning. Saves oven room and the mess of digging it out of turkey. I saved up my bread crusts for several weeks before in the freezer. My family didn't like oysters, mushrooms, livers, or gizzards, so just added eggs, celery, onion, apples, and seasonings to suit. Going easy on the sage, and added canned chicken broth to moisten. Sorry I can't be more specific about the amounts of each ingredient, but I'll bet your smart readers can figure it out.

I am alone now, but I still enjoy reading the recipes and comments

Stuffed Green Peppers - T N T

1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice – I have usually just used already steamed rice, about 1 c. cooked
1/2 cup water
2/3 (14.5 ounce) can Mexican stewed tomatoes
2/3 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
4 large green bell peppers
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce, optional
4 slices cheddar cheese
sour cream

In a large skillet or medium stock pot, brown the beef and onion over medium heat. Drain fat. Add rice, water, diced tomatoes, and stewed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until rice is tender. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and clean out the seeds and membrane. (Note: You may have to slightly slice the bottom of the peppers to make them stand up.) Fill peppers with meat mixture. Add one slice of cheese on top of each pepper.

Place in a casserole dish and bake in a preheated oven for 45 min. covered or until peppers are as tender as you like. Served topped with tomato sauce and/or sour cream. Serves 4 NOTE: When I make my rice ahead of time I just mix the stuffing ingredients with the rice and stuff the peppers. Then you omit the water.

Tomato Gravy
1 lb. bacon and drippings, (I used 1/2 lb.)
3 tbsp. flour, ( I used a little more)
2 (14 1/2oz.) cans plain diced tomatoes (not Italian or seasoned)
1 16 oz. can chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. sugar

Use a heavy frying pan to fry the bacon. Drain, then crumble and set aside. Leave just enough of the drippings to cover the bottom of the pan. Slowly stir in the flour and brown, stirring frequently to keep from burning. Slowly add the broth while stirring. This makes just a brown gravy. Simmer until thickened. Add the canned tomatoes and simmer. Add water if too thick. Add the crumbled bacon, salt and pepper and sugar. Serve over hot biscuits.

Crockpot BBQ Turkey Sandwiches
1/2 onion and 1 clove garlic sauted then put in crockpot

Add:
1C catsup
1/3 C Brown sugar
1/4 t chili powder
1/4 t salt pepper to taste
1T vinegar (optional)
diced (cooked) turkey (or chicken, or pork, or beef, or...??)

Let cook (I'm going to do mine all day) then serve on bread for sandwiches. (I'm getting HMB buns from the bread store to serve on). I toast the bun halves and place two halves on a plate toast side up and cover with the mixture - add a side dish and a salad and you have a full meal. For the kids (and maybe Dad too) serve this to them as sandwiches (still toast the bun to give body and flavor) with some chips for lunch.
