Use all organic ingredients: (try a local Asian market for some of these ingredients)

• 4 Cups cooked brown organic rice
• 1 can water chestnuts (fresh if you can find them)
• 1 can bamboo shoots (fresh if you can find them)

Begin by browning the beef in a pan with the chopped onions and celery. Pour the rice into a large 10 x 13 casserole dish. Layer the cooked beef mixture next and top with the remaining vegetables. Pour the soy sauce over the layers evenly. Next add the cornstarch to the cream and stir until dissolved. Pour the cream mixture over the layered dish. Cook in a moderate oven until the cream thickens and the dish is hot. (half an hour to 45 minutes) Top with noodles and serve immediately.

Our Traditional Stuffing

This recipe has been around in our family for over 75 years.  We just cannot have a Thanksgiving without our Family Stuffing.  I always make extra so everyone can take some home with them for later.  This is the traditional Recipe with possible healthier organic alternatives:

•  5 lbs. Potatoes (grated fine) skin on
• 1 Package Mrs. Cubbisons Corn Bread Stuffing
• 1 Pint heavy cream
• 2 quarters of butter
• 2 cups hard salami (ground or sliced)
• 1 cup milk

As you grate the potatoes pour the cream and milk over them so that they do not turn brown.  Soften the butter beforehand as well.  Mix all ingredients together in a large foil pan and cover with foil.  Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in a moderate oven, until potatoes are tender.  You may also use this to stuff your turkey.

• Onion Powder
• Cayenne Pepper
• Ground Black Pepper
• Salt
• Organic Potatoes

Roll the Salmon in the spices and grill it or broil it in the oven.

Organic Chili Cheese Fries

• 1 Can Organic Chili Beans
• 1 Cup grated Organic Cheddar Cheese
• 4 Large Organic Potatoes, washed and cut
• 1/2 Cup Organic Oil (Olive, Sesame,Coconut)
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Organic Onions

Heat oil in heavy skillet, when hot add potatoes all at once. Have a lid ready in case it splatters. Salt the potatoes and use a spatula to turn often to brown on all sides. While the potatoes are cooking place chili in separate pot, bringing to a boil and then turning it down low to let simmer. When the potatoes are done, place them on a paper towel to drain. Place potatoes on a dish, add chili, then the cheese. Top with onion, if desired. Enjoy!!

BBQ Beef

• Organic Beef
• Organic Tomatoes
• Organic Garlic
• Organic Onion
• Organic Apricots
• Organic Garlic Powder
• Organic Red Pepper
• Organic Jalapeño

Take your piece of meat and put it in a heavy pot with a good lid and start it browning, fat side down. Once it is hot, turn the flame down to low, cover and let cook two to three hours until it shreds easily with a fork. You may add water to it, if it starts to burn, but add just a small amount. A lot of the flavor will come from the meat being nice and browned.

While the meat is cooking make your BBQ sauce in a separate pot. Add all the remaining ingredients. Once it is boiling, turn it down to simmer and let it cook two to three hours, if necessary you can mash it to make it more saucy. Add more apricots, if you want a sweet sauce. Add everything to taste, if you like it spicy add extra jalapeños. Once the meat is ready pour the sauce into the meat pot and stir well, Be sure to scrape the bottom so that all the meat flavor comes up into the sauce. Have organic whole grain buns ready to pour your BBQ Beef  onto. You may top with your favorite organic cheese. Serve with organic corn on the cob. Delicious!

Homemade Organic Hummus

I tried hummus while I was in Scottsdale, AZ and I loved it. Here is my version of it.

• 1 can organic garbanzo beans
• 1 organic lime - juiced
• 2 tbs organic extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbs onion
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• pita pockets

Drain the garbanzo beans and reserve the liquid. Put all the ingredients in the food processor except for the pita pockets. You may add lime zest if you like and add the garbanzo bean juice as needed to bring the hummus to a nice dipping consistency. The Pita pockets need to be toasted. Tear a piece off the pita bread and dip into the hummus. Yummy and so good for you.
