Corn on the Cob

It's that time of year. I have always boiled mine, for 8 minutes. I came across this today and am looking forward to trying it. Best Ever Corn on the Cob Serves 4 4 ears shucked fresh corn Butter & salt, for serving 1. Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn. Once the water gets back up to a boil, shut off the heat. 2. Let the corn sit the pot for a few minutes (or until dinner's ready). 3. Serve with butter and salt. ENJOY!

Chocolate Pie with a Twist

I usually keep at least one graham cracker crust and a box of instant pudding in the cabinet for a "fast" dessert. With just a small "twist" you can turn a simple chocolate pie into something great. NEED: 1 pre-made graham cracker crust 1 box of instant chocolate pudding 3 heaping serving spoons of peanut butter - I use chunky whipped topping - optional The crust is ready....save the top...if you turn it over its the perfect cover for the pie. Take 3 heaping serving spoons of peanut butter and place it in a microwave save dish and heat..just until "loose". If you do not have a microwave you can warm in in a dish over a pot of hot water. You need to warm the peanut butter because it will tear the graham cracker crust if you try to spread it while its cold. Place the peanut butter in the crust. Make the pudding, according to directions and pour over the peanut butter. Place in the fridge until chilled. At least one hour. You can use canned whipped cream, a tub of whipped cream or dream whip. I serve mine on the side but you can cover the pie, if you wish. To me, this tastes like a Reese' s Cup. ENJOY!

Fast one skillet meal

Sorry, I haven t been on here for awhile...major computer issue and a number of projects that just didn t allow the time. But I m back, so let s get cooking! I hate the heat....I have window A/C in the house, which helps..but still the kitchen gets hot so I want in and out FAST. This is a great meal and takes very little time. NEED: Potatoes....I use 5 or 6 medium ones Skinless smoked sausage...the type you find in 1 pound sealed packages 1 can of cream of chicken soup water onion - diced carrots - diced peas celery - diced salt pepper thyme garlic powder parsley I pre cook the potatoes. I peel them and quarter them. Place in a pot of water and boil for 10 minutes. *** add salt to the water KEEP IN MIND...ALL SPICES ARE USED ACCORDING TO YOUR TASTES. While the potatoes are boiling cut the sausage in circles. I cut mine about a quarter inch thick. Place them in a large frying pan and heat over medium heat. Put in just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the onion, carrots, peas, celery and spices. Cover for 5 minutes. The water will help "steam" the veggies. Add the soup and stir until blended. ** if the water is all gone you can add about 3 tablespoons more. Drain and add the potatoes. Blend it all together. Reduce heat and let it cook together for about 15 minutes. Its fast, simple and yummy! ENJOY!
