Beef Tips and Gravy

This is a recipe that many of us older people our moms have handed it down from generation to generation.Its what I call a Tried and True recipe you can vary it up however you choose.

1 1/2 pounds of beef tips
1 sliced yellow onion
1 pkg of onion soup mix (doesnt matter i its generic times are tough )
1 can of mushroom soup
1can of beef broth
1pkg of egg noodles

 Cook the beef tips first on low heat until tender use that for your 1 can of beef broth then add the rest of the ingredients to this. Cook on med to low for a hour or so.

1 variation is you can use sour cream in this too and it really good.



  make sure when you cook your beef tips cook until they are done and not mooing anymore  it will taste better and follow direction on your egg noodles to cook those.

Food

We are going to talk about food today. Who doesn't like food? Its obvious that we have to have it to survive.But why be afraid of it ,it wont bite it doesn't talk back , it tastes great well some of it.So why be afraid of it.
Here is why if its not cooked right it will make you very sick if you dont cook it right big sick. Check your cooking temps if your not sure ..the next blog will have cooking temps for your meat so you can stay alive. Wash your veggies its a must the farmers and lord knows who else handles your food Wash it good too. Above all WASH YOUR HANDS there is alot of unmentionables on your hands germs some start with P and end with OO.Keep those hands clean that will make you sick. Cook your meat thoroughly check it with a meat thermometer .The cows themselves may not be sick but the processing can make a person turn green. Handle veggies with care  some of them bruise tomatoes can bruise very easily. Otherwise have fun with your food  look at it  check for  green spots (mold) smell it make sure it smells fresh it wont bite your nose off I promise.
 Its food its good for you makes you healthy and strong. It does a body good to eat your fruits and veggies  grains meat try not to eat the processed stuff and yes Im talking to myself as well that stuff will kill you if you eat to much of it.
 Basically have fun with it you will be surprised  how fun it is to cook with it and eat it after it is cooked well.
                                   

Snowmobile Soup

I must say when I first saw this I passed it up it just didn't sound good .The name doesn't it at all. But what I did what take the recipe original one and changed 2 things and made it a whole lot better. So here it is enjoy.

Snow Mobile soup

1 can of mushroom soup+ one can of milk

1 can of cream of chicken + one can of milk

1 pkg of 8oz cream cheese

1can of corn dont drain

1/2 chuck beef roast

1tsp celery salt

1tsp of old bay

2can of whole potatoes chopped

add salt and pepper to taste

this recipe is rich but very tasty and it kind of stick to your ribs kinda soup

Salsa

There is a story behind this recipe that will be told at the end..

Salsa

6cans of stewed tomatoes

4cloves of garlic

2 jalapenos seeded unless you want it hot and spicy

1 large red onion

1/4 bunch of cilantro

juice of 2 limes you can add zest too

salt to taste 1/2 tbl sugar

put in food processor or about a minute or 2

Now as I said earlier in one of the blogs I got a new food processor and I hadnt opened it up yet. Well the day I decided to try it out on salsa took it out of the box. Took out all the carboard stuff in it I guess I was excited because 1 I didnt get all the cardboard out and 2.Forgot to wash it before I used it. So while I was making the salsa of course I saw wet cardboard I thought it was cilantro and used a fork to get it out and it wasnt cilantro soo make sure you take out all the cardboard even under the blade and wash it all..

Im going to start this again because after reading what I wrote it didnt sound bad at all so here it goes again .It will give me something to do and hopefully someone will read it and it will bring a smile to their face and that is all that matters in this life. I have learned alot since I started this blog .Ive gotten alot smarter not really smarter just learned alot by trial and error mostly error and learned from them all. I like to write always have grammer skills isnt a great thing in this but I try to use spell check now I know where it is on this page. I have not lost my sense of humor my mind has slipped a few bars but the humor is still there.

Alright lets begin here for Christmas I got a brand new wide mouth food processor and Ive alot of ideas on a few selling items that I might try at a garage sale or something of that kind. Salsa is a big idea and a few other things I am going to try and will post on this page all tried and people really like . For Christmas I made for the first time peppermint and white Chocolate candy turned out great could of been better but people really liked it alot. Salsa was another thing these are easy recipes that I will post in the next couple of day. Im sure there will be alot more Im going to post some of them recipes and some are life happenings. So as the title states for this blog it is true .. A NEW BEGINNING has started.

A Old Invention With A New Attitude

A old Invention with a New attitude. What a great name for the Mixer seems its been around since the days of Ms Betty Crocker and beyond. I loved my mixer it was a hand me down from my mom until it croaked the other day. I was making a never before done Butter cake .Well it started out good but then the mixing spinners went haywire.It wasnt pretty they seemed like they wanted to get to close to each other and was knocking each other out. So now looking for a new and improved Mixer. One that doesnt have separate mixing spinners it has just one .Ohh Did I get the cake done the answer is yes I never claimed Im a baker of any sorts but this time I did a pretty good job on it. First Cake ever been done by this ole Coot. I made Butter Cream frosting too but talk about Rich .

Okay new recipe this one I took off of a bottle minus the chemicals with real Nice flavor.

Teriyaki Sauce

1 bottle of favorite soy sauce
Brown Sugar
1Tbl spoon of garlic either out of a jar or fresh
Ginger

Depending on how much sauce you want it how much you mix for me I use about 1cup of soy sauce and add the brown sugar until I get it right .
Adding the garlic aprox 1 Tbls spoon of garlic yes its alot but garlic gets sweet when cooked. Ginger just a tad for taste I dont use it but I have heard its in the original Sauce. make sure you do the taste test to make sure its what you want it to taste like.
When using this for chicken make sure you spread it on thin and baste as you cook . Its real good for grilling as well

Tick...When using Ginger ..this is a very strong spice so use just a tiny bit and its good for you has very nice health properties to it.


Well Folks that is it for today..Enjoy
