Preparing healthy meals is the key to a family’s health. The first step is to eat a little bit of everything – meat, grease and Potatoes.
Let’s face it…it’s hard to eat healthy sometimes and it’s even harder to eat the types of meals that your family will need. We want to eat a wholesome and delicious meal, but don’t always want to make it.
How can you have a delicious, healthy meal without making it? Simple – prepare it yourself. You’ve heard all the arguments before about why you shouldn’t make this sacrifice. For me it is about time and money, but there is also about time and ease. It is a trade off, you will have to choose which road you choose…
My oldest child is now pushing 40 years old. When I talk to her she sounds as mature as ever, but at such a young age, how can I be sure she is having fun, cooking meals and loving her life? The answer is, I am not sure. I feel sure that somewhere inside her life she is doing all the things she needs to do – growing, preparing food, cleaning, decorating, and everything else she needs to become a grown woman. But I also know that deep down inside she is watching her life and her choices mattering for the well being of her family.
As a mom, I also have memories – memories of my mother and grandmother. I can feel and see what is happening in every aspect of their lives – growing up, working, traveling, and then coming home. For all those years they were doing it and they were really, really happy. anywhere they went. They were successful and had wonderful memories to look back upon and look out for.
Then I looked into a book about Alzheimer’s called “It’s Not Your Mama’s Chicken Soup” by Mack Knowles. This book inspired me to look further into what was in that soup I was thinking about and it is a great book full of heartwarming stories. Also it inspired me to do a little research on what may help our mother and grandmother may have been doing years ago now that may be unknown to many people.
What I hope everyone finds interesting is that there are many different stories behind each recipe. Sometimes history is a simple matter and you can find the actual recipe for yourself within these books. Other times you will come across comments from people who have tried and tested a particular recipe and they were satisfied with the end results. There are of course a couple of exceptions here and there. One big exception is Guinness Book of World Records. I didn’t set the record for the biggest rubber chicken, but I did break the record for the biggest cooked chicken. So thanks again for being interested in chicken soup history. Pete’sade Sauce
Pete’sade Sauce is one of the more unique relishes on the market. In fact, one of the only completely original products we have come across is the Pete’sade sauce. The reason for the uniqueness is the combination of tomatoes and cheese. Not exactly a surprise on a spicy day. But the one thing that is for sure is that it makes an amazing sauce.
Ingredients:
8oz.Tomatoes2-3ams Olive OilFlour TortillasPaneer2-3Tb.Fresh CheeseAged Cheddar
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add ½ tsp of oil, then add the onions. Reduce the heat, then add the garlic, ginger, and tomatoes. Cook until the garlic and tomatoes are soft. Then add the coriander and cheddar, and cook for about 5 minutes. Total cooking times should be about 20 minutes.
Next, add the rest of the ingredients, including bread crumbs, and the chicken. Grind the flour and add a bit of salt to the mixture. Style the sauce to your liking. We served this sauce with crusty bread and found the sauce particularly tasty with a crusty roll.
And there you have it! This is a simple recipe that you can prepare ahead so that you can enjoy your oven baked pie while it is still hot and ready to eat. It is a real simple sauce that you can keep on your shelf and add a new twist each time you make it. It is wonderful with a pasta dish or with a meat such as rabbit or beef.
