Sweet Potatoes Early AM April 8, 2024 (Eclipse Day!)
Rooting sweet potatoes on a bathroom window. Hopefully green slips will follow so they can be planted outdoors. Sweet potatoes are one of the prettiest plants. These were grocery store bought. Last season I used grocer’s and I harvested only handful of miniature potatoes. That’s all but I was happy. Just enough to share with the pup for one meal, and they were delicious. The rain did most of the watering.
Have you ever grown potatoes?
I wonder if today’s eclipse will stimulate gardens in any way. They sure do stimulate humans😁

Delicious 🇨🇺 Cuban Sandwich Made In 🇺🇸 America
I spent many years in Miami so I crave Cuban food. It seems most of the Cuban restaurants prefer to stay down south. I wish more restaurants would spread out.
Have you ever eaten a Cuban Sandwich? If not, you can make one. This one is pretty close to authentic flavors and textures.
Finding good Cuban bread in the north or even baking it, is tricky. The bread used today was from a grocery store. It’s not exactly the way I remember. lol. Miami, Cuban bread would be hard as a rock in a day or so, and as long as a baseball bat; I do miss it. The bread used in this video has a better flavor and texture if toasted. If you don’t find the bread, then find a good, bakery hoagie roll. Too bad subway doesn’t sell their sub rolls, they’re good.
Sometimes I’ll fry plantains to eat with Cuban Sandwiches but pre-cooked Goya brand frozen from stores can be microwaved, and it’s delicious; plantains just go with Cuban sandwiches. Salty & Sweet.
No extra salt was needed to put this sandwich together, ingredients already had plenty of salt.

😊 St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ Sliced 🧄 Chops Caramelized 🧅 & Baby Spinach
Quick, easy and delicious!
$2.05 lb was the sale price. Pup was able to get a taste without the onion. I’ll get several meals out of the two cooked chops. Rest of the family pack freezes well in ziplock bags. I think meat taste better with bone-in.

Delicious Hamburger Beef Potato Celery Stew
Turned out delicious! I even froze a few portions to microwave on another day. When it’s cooled to room temp, I put some in ziplock sandwich bags, I place thin, filled flat bags in the freezer, and they’re all marked with a sharpie to know what’s inside.
Ingredients List at end of video.
Pan lid was purchased separately to fit pan. Lids don’t always come with frying pans/skillets. It’s a good idea to measure and find lids for your different size pans. Helps speed up cooking time, and keeps foods moist when needed. I like lids with vent holes. Not all lids are oven safe.
If you notice pantry items are dated with a sharpie. I write dates on everything so that I can easily see what I can use first. Much easier than having to pick up every product to find, and read fine print dates.

☀️ Fresh Turmeric Scrambled Eggs & Breakfast Pork Sausage Links
Fried eggs taste just as good. Your whites will be very bright yellow! ☺️ No water needed in fried!

The thermometer that I use is hard to find. There is another brand name used on what looks to be the same product. “Chefmate” “Pocket Thermometer”. I’ve seen them priced around $8 on eBay.

🧡 Delicious Grocer Rotisserie Chick & Potato Dinner W/ 🍅 🧅 🧄 🌿 & Lime
Make A Grocery Pre-Cooked Rotisserie Chicken & Potatoes Dinner Easy.
It really is delicious and filling. Ingredients listed at end of video.
These small pre-cooked chickens are enough for 2-4 depending on the sizes available, and the side dishes or bread that you plan to serve.
This dinner also turns out great for ahead-of-time meals.
Just grab a little bit of cooked ingredients and chicken, and freeze in small freezer bags for individual portions. Reheat in microwave on another day. Remove bag and heat in a deep dish or bowl, few minutes at a time until hot. Flip in between heating in increments. Dome micro covers help keep juices contained or you can cover dish with a moist, paper towel .
If you plan to eat a chicken right away, check that it’s cooked white or dark, not pink. Sometimes rotisserie chickens can use a few minutes in the microwave.
Don’t over heat or it’ll dry out, and won’t be very good.
Not much salt needed, rotisserie chickens come salted. Make sure you have enough lime juice

90 Sec Authentic “Royal” Indian Basmati Rice It’s Delicious
The aroma and taste suggest that it was prepared in an authentic Indian kitchen. Moisture content and texture were perfect, and it was ready in 90 seconds. It’s enough rice for 2 servings.
I’m not affiliated with Royal. They sell a variety of authentic cooked rice including large quantities of uncooked grains or rice in bags.
Check them out here: https://www.authenticroyal.com/category/products/ Basmati is the only one I’ve tried so far. Unfortunately for many of us, local stores don’t always carry a brand’s full line of products but it could be more economical to purchase sacks of raw grains online.
My favorite Indian restaurant happens to be called “The Indian Kitchen”. I ate there when I lived in WeHo, CA. If you’re ever in that area, try their food. Eat-in, takeout or delivered. They serve meat, so lots of extra flavor there.
I usually cook my own rice, for a couple of servings. It’s actually quite easy in a portable, mini rice cooker, and takes about 15 minutes, All sorts of rice, and recipes can be made.
Here is a Jasmine rice & vegetable recipe cooked in a mini cooker.

Instant Mashed Pancakes With Parsley & Dill
Makes 10-12 delicious potato pancakes.
Try not to eat them all. If onions are not something your kids like, they may like these after they smell all the ingredients being cooked. ☺️ The onions are mild, and their texture blends well in this recipe.
Potato Pancakes are easy to make, but they take a few minutes to brown. When you have an hour or so to spare, make them. If a bigger pan or griddle is used (than what’s shown here) more cakes can be made in less time; if needed, adjust amount of batter per cake to fit your pan. Baby cakes are cute too.
Ingredients listed at end of video.
What is HELPFUL about this recipe is that chilled instant potatoes are used.
See recipe here https://rumble.com/v42ol4h-gv-instant-flav-mash-.html?mref=ioozb&mc=cgcuw
Also, cooked pancakes can be frozen, then reheated in the microwave to serve on a future date. See video.

Delicious Ribeye Sandwich On Rye Bread
Such A Treat On Christmas Eve.
Here’s one EASY way to cook a steak.
-Frying pan. No oil. 1/2 “ Ribeye. Minced garlic, frozen green pepper and onion. Worcestershire Sauce. Salt and pepper. Rye Bread.
-Cooking time varies for meat thickness and appliances. This steak was 1/2” thick. Removed from pan and plated at 147 degrees. It continued to cook a bit while resting. Temp info at end of video.
Steak doesn’t really need salt if using Worcestershire Sauce. Use even less sauce if you like ketchup. Or reduce ketchup to a few drops. You could mix ketchup into the sauce or omit Worcestershire. If you don’t have Worcestershire, use few drops of soy sauce. If you like butter flavor, add it to pan towards end of cooking so it doesn’t burn. Same goes for ketchup, too early in the pan, it could burn.
This sandwich was perfect 😋
Today is Christmas In America. Have a Good Day!

GV Instant 🧈 Mash🥔 & 🥑 W 🧅 Flav On A Soft 🌮 Or 🌯
As you take a bite it feels and taste so good, similar to a Pierogi. Creamy Smooth and Chewy texture. Very satisfying meal or snack.
It already contains sodium, but with added avocado, you might want a dash more.
To me, Walmart’s GV brand instant mashed potatoes in the packs taste better than their box. It’s easier, faster and stays fresh longer. I think the texture is better as well. It is sold in a few different flavors but onion powder was added to this butter variety. Any leftover potatoes can be refrigerated and served with another meal… ingredients listed in video.

😋 Rotisserie 🐓 🧀 Melt W 🧄 On Rye 🍞
Rotisserie cooked chickens are wonderful. The plainer, the better. Some grocery spices and artificial flavors can be funky😊 Walmart’s Traditional is very good. Soft, fresh Rye is a must. Arnold’s worked out so well for this Melt.

GV Instant 🧈 + 🧅 Flav Mash 🥔🥔🥔🥔 🥔
Amazing. These little potato packages are terrific. 😋 I think Walmart’s GV brand instant mashed potatoes in the packs taste better than their box. It’s easier, faster and stays fresh longer. The texture is better as well. It is sold in a few different flavors but onion powder was added to this butter variety. Taste it before adding salt since it already contains sodium.
Milk or cream can be used, but it only needs boiling water to prepare as is. Adjust the liquid if you want it thick or creamy. After you make it the first time, you’ll probably make it again. They are handy to keep some in your pantry. They would make a great gift for any occasion. Food is a great gift!

Asian Frozen Grocery 🐓 🥟 🥟 🥕 🫛 🧅 Soup HEAT 15 Minutes
Good hot soup in winter or anytime is always a comforting treat but prep work is so time consuming. Hope this helps.
If you can’t cook, this is a good Asian recipe to try. Of course if you’re still learning or a minor, you should have someone assist you that knows how to cook.
Makes 2 servings.
Frozen potstickers and frozen vegetables were used.
Fresh diced white onion used. Precut frozen onion works just as well.
It took me 15 minutes to heat it all up. Ingredients listed in video.
If you like pork, pork potsticker soup is also good.
I’ve made it this way…
Follow the same directions, but use cream of mushroom condensed soup.
After the soup is combined with water, and brought to a boil, add a couple handfuls of frozen cauliflower with 8 pork potstickers. That’s all. No other ingredients. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally. If you want to try other vegetables that’s fine but the 3 ingredients for the pork 🥟 taste so good together. The mushroom is not overpowering. If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, then try something else.

🥯Smart Balance Whipped Cheese 🍅 🧅 W/Special Coffee
This bagel sandwich just goes together so well.
If you ever make instant coffee, try Colcafe Coffee (0:09 pictured is one of a variety brown lid) It’s really good. The other instant I’ve tried is also good. Same name but fatter jar with a red lid. They sell decaf as well… It’s found in few store’s international isle.
It can be made with all boiled water or half hot milk or all hot milk (or cream). Also be made cold, for ice coffee. Columbian Flavor. I use 1 tsp per 4OZ liquid.

Microwaved A Can Of BBQ Pulled Pork
Just heat and serve. It’s very saucy ☺️ not spicy. Sweet, bbq flavor
Nothing compares to my local Shane’s Rib Shack or homemade but I wanted to try it.
It’s not too cheap. About $4. a can ($5.50 lb).
Good to keep in pantry for shtf, hurricane season, camping, college or an occasional sandwich or dinner meal at home or work.

😋 Microwaved A 🥶 Frozen Subway Cheesesteak
I could easily serve this to family or friends! ☺️ I’m going to try chicken version or meatballs next.
Reminded me of an uncle, back in the 80’s when he bought about 50 McD hamburgers to freeze, but when they had a sale for .20 or .25 cents ech ☺️ The store had lines into the street for one entire day.

Cicis Pizza Delivered Brownies
Cicis Pizza takeout brownies are good. I usually don’t crave them with pizza.
Sometimes when I order their pizza, I’ll order their 24 brownies, then freeze them in freezer bags to eat another day. You could take one out and microwave it for a few seconds at a time, until thawed, and eat as is or…
When I made this dessert, brownies were thawed in refrigerator overnight.
They’re a good price for takeout, and great for any occasion or party.

McCormick Ground Chicken Soft Tacos
The recipe per package did not turn out as tasty as expected but it was fixed.
The next time I use this product with chicken, I’ll use 3/4 of the package, add a little sautéed onions and one 5.5OZ can V8 juice along with the recommended amount of water…
This recipe was followed per directions. At the end, the added V8 juice made it taste good.

Thanksgiving Marshmallow Treat
Delicious toasted marshmallows.
If you are new to toasting marshmallows, it’s better if someone with experience is with you. Adult supervision of course. If you toast any, do so at your own risk. Plus, not every person likes them burnt☺️I do! Thanks to my mother, she taught me.
I placed several touching each other, on a metal skewer or 1-2 per fork.
Metal is safer than wood. Wooden branches and especially wooden skewers can catch fire or break.
I made sure to be safe. I held mine away from my body. Pointed up and away and not toward anybody else or near anything that can catch on fire.
I lit first bottom marshmallow with a lighter and the rest caught fire on their own. If wind knocked the flame out, then I relit.
After toasted, waited about 15-20 seconds or until cool enough to eat.
Last time I ate them was about 8 years ago, and years before that. Usually made with leftover marshmallows from Thanksgiving recipes.
