How is 2018 starting for you? Things are fairly quiet around here. Ella caught her tradition ‘I’ve been to Toronto’ cold and has had a miserable few days. I really should buy stock in Royale. We have basically been house-bound since we came home from Toronto and I’m starting to go stir-crazy. I think today is the worst yet. It’s 2pm and it’s -20C and -40C /F with the windchill and the wind is blowing like crazy! I love winter but weeks of -20/-40 get tiring. I need to get out to get January groceries but I’m certainly not going out in this weather.
I’ve tried a few new recipes lately that I thought I’d share with you. I’ll share the links, if they stop working let me know. I’ve got the recipes written in my cookbook too. The first is a delicious way to use up the last of the turkey, turkey and biscuit casserole. Found Colin’s new favourite pizza crust, pizza crust.
OK, apparently I’ve lost the link for the next recipe. We had steak the other day and ended up with some leftover (they were huge). Pinterest to the rescue again and I found Steak Soup. It was good with fresh garlic buns.
Steak Soup
serves 6
2 Tbsp oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, minced
5 small potatoes, diced 2 large carrots, diced 2 cups steak, diced
1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup tomato sauce 4 cups beef broth
Saute onions and garlic. Add the rest of the veg. for a couple of minutes. Add everything else. Boil, then simmer (covered) for an hour.
I used some home canned tomato sauce in the soup so I had to find something else to do with the leftover tomato sauce. Enter home-made ‘condensed tomato soup‘ and chili mac. I really liked the chili mac recipe because it only made 4 servings, we won’t have to eat leftover pasta for days.
So that’s how I’ve been spending my days, what have you been doing to stay warm?
