"This came from my mother-in-law via my wife. It's always been a family favorite, especially in cool/cold weather. It does require a pressure cooker, but I believe more people should learn to cook with one. It's fast! And it makes one of the tougher cuts of beef into a melt-in-your-mouth comfort food.

I've never seen any written..."

Ingredients: cream of mushroom soup, garlic...

"This is really a great tasting meal and you can suit it to your tastes. While the recipe calls for 1/2 pound of Italian sausage, the butcher misunderstood me an gave me a pound (I used the mild sausage), so I put it all in. The recipe also calls for 2 tablespoons of chili powder, but since the meal was intended for someone having chemo, I reduced..."

Ingredients: ground cumin, Italian stewed tomatoes...

"When it was nice and hot out one spring day I decided I needed a dessert to go with my star meal. Stuffed Cornish Hen with Balsamic Reduction. I thought I have lemon pudding mix at home. What could go with that? I turned the corner in the grocery store and saw it Angel Food Cake. I didn't have a lot of time and I knew that I wouldn't finish..."

Ingredients: Cool Whip, seedless raspberry jam...

"My grandmother used to can cherry pie filling to use all winter long. The only thing different that I do is add a little red food coloring to give it some color. You can also freeze this pie filling if you prefer. I am not listing any prep time because it depends on how fast you can pit the cherries."

You can substitute Confectioners' sugar for regular sugar to dissolve better."

"A quick and easy version of Eritrean/Ethiopian lentils. Could also be called curry lentils. The great thing is that you can leave this at a simmer and walk away, just stirring occasionally and adding more water until you reach the desired consistency."

"I remember how I used to order this at a tiny pizza joint in Frankfurt. A definite winner given that I hate veggies in general... well, except for this light and easy spinach stir fry I tried to mimic from the family run pizza place! Great as a side dish, accompanied by perhaps a healthy grilled fish! Do also take note that spinach tends to shrink..."

I use this glaze on my Monkey Bread, sugar cookies, ricotta cookies, and even brownies. It's versatile and, above all, easy.
