An idea or two

How about when we try a recipe... go back to the post and comment on how yours turned out, any modifications you made, etc?

There are tags on the recipes and they are all in memories too so you should be able to find them rather easily. :)

If you have a photo of the recipe, that would be cool too!

One recipe I do very well is Sausage Strata - we have this every year for Christmas breakfast and on special occasions like when we have out of town company.

Sausage Strata

INGREDIENTS
6 slices bread, crust removed
1 pound pork sausage
1 teaspoon mustard
3/4 cup shredded cheese
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup half-and-half cream



DIRECTIONS
Place bread in a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and then stir in mustard. Sprinkle sausage mixture evenly over the bread. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, cream. Pour evenly over sausage. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the egg mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve with sides of toast.

Cod/Rice/Asparagus/RedBellPeper

[mdarkdreamer.livejournal.com]

This is my first entry on here and I noticed there are some members I dont know. I just want to say I rarely follow instructioins well so I make up my own resipys.



1. Cod. (Dill weed, garlic, lemmon pepper, butter pats. All on top of fish and baked at 350 for 45 min)
2. White and brown rice.
3. Asparagus. (Wraped in foil with butter and dill weed and garlic. Placed in oven after fish is done for 20 min)
4. Red bell Pepper. (Choped to desired size and prepared the same way as the asparagus)

I grabed teh Red Peper just as a experimental thing and dang if it wasnt excelent! Its sweet and with the rice and fish it gives it a kick. Im one of those "Perfect bite" people and I took one asparagus, one red peper, pice of cod and the rice and it was great!

Apfelkücherl - Yummy Dessert

[luin77.livejournal.com]

This is a yummy dessert that I like (and just had about half an hour ago :) not selfmade though). I have never seen it in Northern Germany, but it's very popular in Bavaria. I am not sure in which other countries it is liked! :)

Apfelkücherl

Ingredients for 4 persons:
4 apples (rather sour than sweet ones)
125 ml (light) wheat beer
1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs
100 g flour
50 g sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash of salt
fat for deep-frying

This is how you do it:
1. Melt the butter and add the flour.
2. Add salt, eggs and beer and make it into a thick dough
3. Peel apples, take out the stones with an apple cutter. Cut the apple into slices that are about as thick as half a finger (apples should look like rings).
4. Mix sugar and cinnamon.

5. Heat fat for deep-frying.
6. Dip the apples into the dough and then fry them in middlish to weak heat for about 5 minutes until they are golden-brown. Turn them over once while frying.
7. Put the apple rings onto kitchen paper and let them drain a bit
8. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix

It's especially good when you serve it with vanilla ice cream! :)
