Andouille Sausage was on sale the other day, so we picked up a few packages. I've never had it, nor cooked with it, so tonight was experimental. Dinner was pretty good, so I decided to share with you what I did: Step 1: 1 c brown rice 2 c chicken stock 4-5 cloves of garlic I hate cooking rice. I while ago, I started...
Well, it looks as though Spring has sprung here in South Georgia. It's been in the 70s for a few days now, closing in on 80 a few times. Thankfully, the humidity has not been that high, so it's not been bad outside at all. It also helps that the bugs (save for the fire ants) are not out yet! So we started our garden...
Well, I guess if I am going to live in South Georgia and deal with icky weather for 9 months of the year, I'm going to post pretty pictures of the thermometer and our back patio on days when it is -4 in Detroit. On the mend, we are. Well, Karol is still sick, Benedict has a runny nose, I am just a bit congested and...
When I was younger my grandmother would make a dinner of pork roast, sauerkraut, and kanadles (sp?). The kanadles were potato dumplings. I've been wanting them for a while, but I have a fear of pork (if I is not cooked right I just cannot stomach the taste) so I've been holding off on making them. However, I had a...
I found a bread recipe that I love. Since switching to fresh ground wheat, it's been a bit of a trial to get bread to turn out well. That was a bit discouraging because I was so used to making bread that we simple and quick and easy, then with the switch, I started making bricks. Bricks as in they went straight to...
The table set for dinner. We brined then grilled our turkey this year. I will brine every turkey from here on out! 🙂 It was great. We also grilled our bird last year and loved it, no better way to cook it. Here is an up close of the bird. It looks a bit pale in the picture, but I promise it was nicely roasted. We...
As I mentioned in my last post, we have a bunch of tomatoes in our garden. I plan on canning them and the kids are eating them, whole, like apples, but I am still trying to find different ways to use them, and that means recipe creation in the Facemyer Kitchen. Veggie Bread A small loaf of homemade Italian...
Wait, hear me out. I promise, these are good! We have tomatoes coming out of our ears here. After being gone for three days, we had a ton that needed to be picked. I spent part of the hour of Divine Mercy out there picking them with the help of Karol and Margaret. I have a million things I could do with them,...
For dinner tonight's dinner at the Facemyer house we are having oven baked smoked sausage with cabbage and onions, oven roasted potatoes, and peach cobbler for dessert. What are you having?
I love cinnamon rolls. I love almost all things cinnamon, actually. Some mornings I wake up and want a nice cinnamon roll with butter, but don't have the time to make them before breakfast time, so make due without. I stumbled across the idea of a No Rise Cinnamon Roll a few months ago and let me tell you, these are...
