Candied Sweet Potatoes

ranch — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:10:29 +0000

There are many ways to cook sweet potatoes. My favorite is Sweet Potato Casserole with a crunch pecan crust top, will make a note to post that one soon. Sweet potatoes are great baked in the skin, then slathered with warm butter and brown sugar. Sweet potato fries are good, and if you are looking [...]

Update from the Garden – February 2012

ranch — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:29:26 +0000

The garden this year is going to be huge; we’ve done some clearing and are looking forward to a good gardening year. I know it will be a lot of hard work, but I’m looking forward to it. I hope we don’t have a drought as we typically do. We are on well water, and [...]

Mashed Potatoes for Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

ranch — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:28:01 +0000

I make my potatoes for this differently than I do my regular mashed potatoes. I’ll make a note to post that recipe later. We eat a lot of potatoes. They are such a versatile vegetable. We eat them mashed with gravy, oven roasted, oven baked, twice baked, as potato skins, in potato salad, as hash [...]

Shepherd’s Pie Ground Beef Version

ranch — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:01:57 +0000

Some people make Shepherd’s Pie using lamb, but we prefer the ground beef version. I told you I was on a pie craze, but this is not really a “pie,” and be sure to catch the post on the “French Coconut Pie” from the other day. Today’s pie will be sweet potato pie or buttermilk [...]

French Coconut Pie

ranch — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 15:10:23 +0000

I have been in a pie baking craze lately. Buttermilk pie, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, chicken pot pie, coconut pie, apple pie, cherry pie, even fried pies. Last night’s meal was pinto beans, turnip greens topped with crisp bacon, deviled eggs, cornbread, and sweet tea, and the dessert was this French Coconut Pie. It [...]

Chicken Wings The Rancher’s Daughter Way

ranch — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 20:34:06 +0000

My family loves to eat wings at least once a week, and definitely hot wings are on the menu every college game day. I am okay eating the fairly standard cooked wings smothered in the red sauce made from hot sauce (Texas Pete) and Frank’s Original Red Hot sauce mixed with butter. That is the [...]

Delicious Breakfast Burritos

ranch — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 22:58:26 +0000

We had these for breakfast this morning and they were incredibly quick and easy to make and also very filling. I used pork sausage but I think they would also be good with kielbasa or hamburger meat. I served them along with skillet fried hash brown potatoes. Print Add this recipe to ZipList! Delicious Breakfast [...]

Russian Tea or Spice Tea Mix

ranch — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:07:10 +0000

Some of us are old enough to remember when Tang became popular as a drink mix in 1962 on John Glenn’s Mercury space flight. Prior to that, sales were not going very well for the powdered beverage mix. Note that in 2007, a new version of the drink mix entered the market with half of [...]

Scalloped Corn

ranch — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:31:10 +0000

Fried Tater Packet Cooked on the Grill

ranch — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:42:30 +0000

This is a great side dish recipe when you plan to cook on the grill. These grill cooked fried potatoes go great with grilled or BBQ chicken and both can cook alongside each other saving electricity and time. Hope you enjoy!

Early Spring 2010 – Sprouting Seed

ranch — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:34:41 +0000

Good Friday was April 2 this year, and typically in the south you get your garden in by then. I don’t worry about Good Friday being a “deadline.” I study the weather, expected rain, and current temperatures. We plant differently each year. This year, we chose to start planting the Monday after Easter, which was [...]
