October Caramel Apples
Caramel Apples It is a family tradition to make popcorn balls and caramel apples in late October. I start looking for Popsicle sticks early. They are easier to find now than say 10 years ago.
* dozen sticks (try a craft store if your grocery doesn’t carry them)
* 10 - 12 granny smith apples
* 2 bags of caramels
* 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
* 1 - 2 tbs. water
* 2 -3 cups chopped peanuts
* wax paper
Prepare your apples by washing them and drying them well. Push the sticks into the center core of the apple starting from the smaller end, so that the handle sticks out from the bottom of the apple. Pour the chopped nuts into a flat bowl or dish that will allow you to dip the caramel apple into it to coat with the peanuts, yet not touch the sides. Lay out a large piece of wax paper next to the peanuts and have both near the stove where you will be melting your caramels. It will be a little assembly line. You will dip the apple into the caramel, roll it into the nuts and place it on the wax paper. All of this must be done relatively quickly, being sure to stir your caramel mixture well between dippings. It is hard to be exact when making caramel apples, because the sizes of the apples vary, and the consistency of the caramel varies by each person’s taste. If you like thick caramel and lots of peanuts then of course buy extra. If you like a thinner caramel coating then you will be
able to coat more apples.

My Ultimate Traditional Breakfast
Not too healthy for me, but so good! A traditional American Breakfast:
A buttermilk pancake made with oats, butter and boysenberry syrup; just right hash browns with sausage cream gravy; one of each cooked well: sausage, bacon, small Hashbrowns ham slice; a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice; a glass of 1% milk (love the taste).
I can’t eat eggs anymore, but a nicely buttered poached egg with lots of pepper would be delicious along with this.
We went to a Mexican restaurant for breakfast and they gave me my Ultimate Traditional Breakfast along with chips and salsa and a plate of refried beans wtih melted cheese! Talk about awesome.

Cooking For Engineers
Once a month cooking sounds intriguing. I have heard of people having to do this because of transportation problems in getting to a store that if distant. I does remind me of how I used to cook for a family. I would get, for example a large amount of hamburger on sale and make a meatloaf, meatball, and hamburger patties. I would usually serve up the hamburgers that night, but cook and freeze the remaining dishes for another day. The meatloaf would be served one night, and then the leftovers would be added to another dish, that could use some spicy meat added to it.

Christmas Wild Rice
Wild Rice My mom brought this dish to a family Christmas dinner once and I have used it ever since for my Christmas dinners. She used the herb and butter rice mixes, but I like to get wild rice, and if I am in the mood, a brown rice as well. I never cook my wild rice as long as the package tells you to. I just don’t like it mushy. I let mine get to a nice tender chewy texture, which usually takes half the time. You must cook the brown rice separately, I usually boil all my rice, whatever the type may be, like I do my pasta. I always retain the rice water to make a beverage for the kids.
* 1 cup cooked wild rice
* 1 cup cooked brown rice
* 1 package white mushrooms chopped fine
* 1 can chopped black olives
* 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
* 1 tsp. garlic powder
* 1 tbs. parsley flakes
* salt and pepper to taste

Christmas Fruit Salad
Christmas Fruit Salad I always serve a ham for Chritmas, but I don’t candy it or add spices to it. I love serving a sweet fruit salad to go with it, fresh asparagus or fresh green beans, biscuits, cream gravy and a family rice dish made with mushrooms, black olives, brown and wild rice.
My fruit salad is made fresh, right before dinner is served and it tastes wonderful with all the other dishes.
* 2 granny smith apples
* 2 green pears
* 2 just ripe bananas (not too ripe)
* 1 cup green grapes
* 1 can mandarin oranges
* 1 jar maraschino cherries with the juice
* 1 bag mini dark chocolate chips
* 1 bag walnut pieces
* 1 cup unsweetened coconut
* 1 cup colorful marshmallows
* 1 pint of whipping cream

Watching Men Cook
Cooking Fish My dad came to visit me for my birthday and he wanted to make me a special treat. He loves seafood and wants to try to get me to eat it too. You see, I just met him less than a year ago and we have spent as much time as possible together, getting to know each other.
My dad loves food. He loves hot and spicy food and the hotter the better. He has cooked for me twice now and both times were awesome. I love his cooking and can’t wait until we get together again so I can see what he’s cooking up next time.
