chicken and Rice The way my mother Made IT!

Chicken And Rice

Today I went to my mothers house and walked in the kitchen and saw brother Kelly cooking chicken.  We then decided to cook chicken and rice after much discussion. The recipe is a method not   an extract measurements kind of thing. So let's get started

  Chicken And Rice


2 chicken quarters
4 chicken wings
1/2 chopped large onion
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon  powered garlic
1 teaspoon powdered onion
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 carrots peeled and diced              
1 small onion diced
2 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 celery stalk diced
1 cup frozen sweet peas
1 cup of long grain rice

Place the first 8 ingredients  in crock pot and cook until done on high. Remove the chicken and reserve the broth, while chicken cools, Measure out 2 cups broth , placing 3/4 of a cup in a saucepan and boil down by half. With the remaining 1/4 cup of broth, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch stirring until smooth with no lumps. add the corn starch mixture to the broth, stirring often until gravy has thicken. Then take off stove. In the crock pot place 2 cups of the remaining broth ( add water if necessary) the carrots,onions, garlic and onion powder, and celery cook, until the carrots are tender.  Then remove cooked chicken from bones, and place in crock pot adding 1 cup of rice. Cook until rice has absorbed  the liquid. Now it is ready to serve. Serve Gravy over Chicken and rice

Hamburger Buns

Hamburger Buns fresh from the oven, soft and sturdy enough to hold up to sauces and gravies. This is what I made this week. Topped with sesame seeds and an egg wash. This gives a shiny gloss to the buns. I used only 3 cups of bread flour and only made 6 buns. They are really mammoth. I think I will use them for giant sandwiches and hamburger for my grandchildren I know one of then will love it. There is a roasted chicken in the oven cooking, and I will be making a gravy from the juices. Now that would be Delicious with my mammoth buns. May be I should name them Mammoth Buns,it makes a lot of sense. 




Hamburger Buns

1 1/4 cups water warm ( warm to the wrist) 150 DEGREES
1 tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 egg

3 to 3 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg ( for wash)


1. In a small bowl place water, yeast,and sugar stir. Then let sit until foamy,add 1 egg and stir well.
2. Add all remaining 3 cups flour,2 tablespoon sugar.and salt to a mixing bowl ( I have a kitchenaid that I love) Using a dough hook,and slowly adding water mixture. Stop mixer when dough forms a soft ball other wise slowly add remaining flour until it does form a ball.
3.Dump onto a floured surface and knead for 10 to 15 minutes or until dough is elastic.
4. Place in a greased bowl turning dough once to grease both sides. Place plastic wrap over bowl let rise double in size for 40 minutes depending on the weather.
5.Punch down and cut into 8 to 6 equal parts making balls on floured surface.
6. Use rolling pin and roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Place on greased pan and cover with plastic wrap. when they have risen to double size use egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds

Blueberry Crisp

Well here I go again blueberries, as I have said before my husband loves them. I had a few left over and decided to cook a blueberry crisp. I looked around the internet and found an unusual ingredient in the crisp, mayonnaise. I was surprised and interested in the concept of using mayonnaise in a sweet dessert.  And it really paid off, this crisp is delicious and very rich, the mayonnaise had something to do with that I am quite sure. Even my picky eater EJ loved it!

Sunday Breakfast and they liked it!

Sunday Breakfast and they liked it!

I woke up this morning and thought my family needed breakfast. I cooked some sausage, omelets and apple slices. I had cooked the biscuits earlier this week and it save me time. I am doing summer cleaning to my home, and have not had much time to cook any elaborate meals. Like little children my family has been asking about where are the goodies. I am always amazed when they act like little ones, needing special treats. I have one son who has his own home and still he will come by everyday to see what I have cooked. He will bring his kids also and they will ask the same question what did you cook today grandmother?  Oh, he will be upset that his family missed this meal. Oh, well I feel he should learn to cook like most people, and tell him that often. This is for all the ones who refuse to learn to cook ! Get with it and start cooking in your kitchen! When you do this you get exactly what you want!

Biscuits, omelets Sausage, apple slices

Oh goody Caramel Candy, chewy, sweet, and soft Caramel Candy. 

The grand kids love them and so will you. I wanted to make a special sweet treat for my family and found this recipe on justapinch.com, and boy was it Delicious. However my main concern was how much time would a busy person spend in the kitchen and cook time is only 6 minutes. Now that is a winning number. Nevertheless, cooling will take over 2 hours. But the cost was pretty super $3.00 or under if you use generic products.

I can remember as a kid standing in the kitchen, and eating 5 to 6 bananas at a time.

Sweet Corn Bread

Sweet Corn Bread a staple of the South and old school cooks. This recipe I learned from my mother. In the  South you use cornbread to sop up gravies,and green juices, kale, collard,and salad greens. The secret to this bread is the buttermilk tangy and creamy it leads to a moist dense bread, that helps it absorbs all the good flavors.
If you cook this you will be cooking an authentic Southern favorite.

Fresh Green beans

A few days ago I went to Roanoke Rapids and went 

shopping at Save A Lot. They had fresh green beans at a 

good price and I had to buy some Then I looked for a 

different way to prepare them and I found this recipe. It is 

sooo good PLEASE TRY!!!

Recipe created by, Ree Drummond

Fresh Green Beans, One Way

1 lb green beans

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

2 tablespoons bacon grease (can substitute 1 T butter and 1 T olive oil)

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (can substitute regular table salt; use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)

Ground black pepper

Snap the stem ends of green beans, or cut them off in a big 

bunch with a knife if you’d like. Just don’t tell Granny. Melt 

bacon grease in a skillet over medium low heat. Add garlic 

and onions and cook for a minute. Then add green beans 

and cook for a minute until beans turn bright green. Add the

 chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt, and black pepper. 

Turn heat to low and cover with a lid, leaving lid cracked to 

allow steam to escape. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until 

liquid evaporates and beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp.

 You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, 

but don’t be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and 

peppers can caramelize.
