Tipster Tuesday! Efficient cooking!
Efficient Cooking!
Tipster Tuesday as hosted by BeCentsable:
I believe in "Efficient Cooking" (as I call it on my Simple Family Supper website). Efficient cooking saves me a ton of time and $$. I brown LARGE quantities of ground meat (usually venison in our family since my hubby is a deer hunter) and then freeze it in meal size quantities. It makes for FAST track cooking to make any meal that calls for browned ground meat!!!
- Brown the meat in a large pan
- Drain it (I put it in a large strainer) and allow it to cool.
- Package it in high quality freezer bags, label and freeze!
- When ready to use, just quickly defrost in microwave
It is 5 o'clock.... What is for supper???

Yummy!
 I made this cake for our desert. It is about the 5th time I have made it... we LOVE it! It is a recipe that was popular during the great depression because it is milk and egg free!!! Also a great recipe for those with egg or milk allergies. It mixes up quick and it is soooo moist and yummy it doesn't need a frosting! My chickens are still on their winter "vacation" so I am forced to buy my eggs again... wow has the price of eggs gone up (from about 2 years ago when I last bought eggs)! As we all know the price of milk hasn't been going down... this recipe fits the bill for me!! Enjoy!
(The great depression era) Spice Cake
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups cold water
1/2 cup canola oil
2 TBL white vinegar
2 tsp vanilla
Directions:
1) In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, soda, salt and Spices.
2) In a separate mixing bowl mix together the remaining ingredients.
3) Stir the water mixture in with the flour mixture till smooth. (I use my whisk) The batter will be thin.
Pour into a GREASED 9*13 baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack! Enjoy!!
You might find it odd that this recipe calls for vinegar! I did...until my Mom explained to me the purpose of the vinegar. Combined with Baking soda it is what makes the cake rise. You will notice that when you pour the water mixture in with the flour mixture it will bubble.... just remember those volcano science fair projects!

Using up some extra eggs!
Tonight I prepared an egg casserole that I will bake in the morning. This is a great way to use up eggs when they are plentiful! I like to make something like this on Sunday morning.... fills us all up till we get home at 1pm after church. This week is a little different, my hubby has ivited some friends to meet at our house for breakfast before they head out for a day of ice fishing! ICE FISHING! I like to eat the fish.... wouldn't want to be the one out on the ice doing the catching! Oh, well, as long as they have a good time!! If you ever need to feed a crowd this is an easy one. You could always halve the recipe....
CROWD SIZE HAM AND EGGS
1bag southren style hash brown potatoes
2 cups shredded cheese
1-2 cups meat (I used ham I had in the freezer, can use sausage)
2 doz eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
salt, pepper, onion powder
Pour the potatoes into a large baking dish (I used my deep dish pampered chef baking stone)
Sprinkle on the cheese
top with meat
Mix together eggs, milk and spices and then pour on top of potatoes.
Cover and keep in fridge over night. In the morning get it out and let it sit on the counter for 30-45 minutes...bringing it closer to room temp. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 30 minutes ish minutes. Allow to set for 10 minutes before cutting.
Cut and enjoy!! YUM!!
You could divide this into 2 baking dishes and then it would take a lot less time to bake.....
