Oven Baked Sweet Plantains
MMMM! I love plantains, especially sweet ones. This is a lower fat method of making “maduros” without the use of oil and frying in a pan.
Pakistani Kima (Hamburger Curry)
A really easy one skillet meal made with ingredients I can find in my Wisconsin kitchen. Full of flavor and not too spicy; my kids love this. From Mennonite cookbook More-With-Less.
Delicious Pork and Noodles
This is the simplest pork and noodles recipe I know. It takes only 5 ingredients – two of which are salt and pepper. My kids LOVE this!! You’ll be amazed at how good this is. I cook the meat in my crockpot, but my mom has always done it on the stovetop. I never believed her when she said it was flavored basically with salt, pepper and beef broth. I thought I was so smart and added spices and garlic, but I found that nothing I tried was as good as her version. As they say, mother knows best….uuggghhh!
Simple Pasta With Parmesan
Another stupidly simple side dish made from pantry staples that my family asks for over and over. The savory combination of flavors goes well with many other foods. It can be made with freshly-cooked pasta or with leftover, cooked pasta that has no sauce on it. I’ve included options for some variations to create not-so-simple but extremely tasty side dishes or complete, one-dish meals by adding ingredients you probably have on hand.
