    Here goes….

    Beef Daube Provencal

    2 teaspooons Olive Oil

    12 Garlic Cloves, crushed

    1 (2-pound) Boneless Chuck Roast, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes

    1 1/2 teaspoons of Salt, divided

    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper, divided

    1 cup Red Wine (Syrah is best)

    2 cups of chopped Carrot

    1 1/2 cups chopped Onion

    1/2 cup less-sodium Beef Broth

    1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste

    1 teaspoon chopped, fresh Rosemary

    1 teasppon chopped, fresh Thyme

    1 (14.5 oounce) can Diced Tomatoes, undrained (I use Fire Roasted)

    1 Bay Leaf

    3 Cups hot, cooked Medium Egg Noodles

    1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees

    2) Heat Olive Oil in small Dutch oven over low heat. Add Garlic to pan; cook for 5 minutes, or until garlic is fragrant, stirring occasionally. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon; set aside.

    3) Increase heat to medium-high. Add Beef to pan. Sprinkle beef with 1/2 teaspoon of Salt and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. Cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove beef from pan.

    4) Add wine to pan, and bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.

    5) Add garlic, beef, reamaining 1 teaspoon of salt, remaining 1/4 teasppon of pepper, Carrot, and next 8 ingredients (through Bay Leaf) to pan; bring to a boil.

    6) Cover dutch oven and bake in oven at 300 degrees for 2 /12 hours or until beef is tender.

    7) Discard Bay Leaf and serve over cooked Noodles

     

    Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1/4 cup stew and 1/2 cup noodles)

     

    Notes: I buy the chuck roast whole, freeze for about 45 minutes and then trim and cut into cubes. I found that the serving size is not very accurate for most appetites. I would say it is closer to 4 servings.

    If you would like to use a slow cooker, then follow steps 1-5, place in slow cooker and cook on high for about 5 hours.

    Aaahhh! Just realized that I typed in 350 degrees on step number 1. The oven temperature should be 300 degrees as listed in step #6. Sorry!

    Banana bread and zucchini bread are my favorite fall indulgences, and I love these two recipes:

    If I want an extra treat, I add some chocolate chips to the banana bread, but other than that I follow the recipes as they are 🙂

    I have a few that I will have to dig up.  I have a carrot cake recipe also that is the best I have ever had in my life,  I have ruined people on this recipe (I wonder how the two compar

     

    Super Secret Carrot Cake Recipe

    Carrot Cake

    2 cups sugar
    2 cups flour
    2 tsp. baking soda
    2 tsp. baking powder
    2 tsp. cinnamon
    4 eggs
    1½ cups oil
    2 cups shredded carrots
    1 cup walnuts
    1 can crushed pineapple (soup can), drained well

    Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

    Cream Cheese Frosting

    8 oz. cream cheese, softened
    ½ cup butter, softened
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 lb. powdered sugar

    Cream butter, cream cheese, add vanilla. Add sugar gradually and mix well.

    My friend said she sometimes increases the frosting by 1 1/2 times because she likes lots of frosting.

    Note: I added a full 20 oz can of crushed pineapple. Also added 1-2 tsp of lemon juice to the frosting (cuts the sweetness and adds tanginess to it). This is better if it is allowed to sit over night in the refrigerator. I used a 9×13 pan.

    Zucchini-Pineapple Bread

    ·

    I will post the original recipe and then my "cleaned up" version of the recipe.  I have not ever had this the original way but I am sure that it is just as good.  I am in love with this stuff right now.

     

    3 eggs

    1 c oil

    2 c sugar

    2 tsp vanilla

    2 c grated peeled zucchini

    3 c flour

    2 tsp baking soda

    2 tsp cinnamon

    1 tsp salt

    1 c crushed pineapple, drained

    1 c chopped nuts

    1 c raisins

     

    Mix in order given.  Pour into 2 greased 5x9x3 loaf pans.  Bake at 350 F for 1 hours or tests done (moist).

     

     

    My changes to recipe:

     

    3/4 c egg substitute

    3/4 c oil (I used coconut oil once and canola another time)

    1-3/4 c sucanat

    3 c spelt flour (ground fresh thanks to my vitamix)

     

    This recipe reminds me of the infamous carrot cake recipe.

    My semi-famous wing sauce recipe will follow. Wings are not wings unless they are deep fried (ask any of the Ohio Rally Clan). If you have an Aldi's near you, they have the best prices. My sauce is usually just by "hand", but I will try to get measurements about equal… ~1 c butter/margarine ~1 c vinegar Good shake or two of crushed red pepper flakes. Heat this til boiling and then about another 5 minutes. Add ~2 c hot sauce and simmer 'til a dark brick red color (usually about 20 minutes). Add 1 16oz bottle of ranch dressing (or more to taste) and heat through. One would think that the ranch would mellow the heat but it acts the opposite. Also, the longer you simmer the crushed pepper flakes the hotter it gets. This sauce has an incredible flavor to it. Now, the way I make this…I get 1 bottle of hot sauce and 1 bottle of ranch dressing from Aldi's. I scoop 2 MOUNDING tablespoons of margarine and then add about the same amount of vinegar. Shake the flakes, boil, add the entire container of hot sauce, simmer, add the entire bottle of ranch.

     

    For the wings we typically deep fried frozen wings for about 7 minutes, pull from the oil and let sit for 3-4 minutes then fry again for about 7 minutes.

    I have to find my pumpkin fluff recipe.  It is a mix of cream cheese and pumpkin and spices that you use as a dip with ginger snaps.
