1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespons chopped crystallized ginger

1/4 cup orange juice

2 tablesoons lemon juice

1 1/2 treaspoons cornstarch

 

Peel pears, leave ends attached.  Stand pears upright in a slow cooker.  If necessary, trim bases so they can stand upright.

In a small bowl, mix the ingredients and then poor over pears.

Dot the pears with butter.

Cook on low until they are tender (5 to 6 hours)

Lift out pears and staad in shallow bowl.

Hey Marta! What is Pears Fandango? A dessert?

I have a recipe for Pears Fandango. It's very simple to make and looks elegant, but you'll need a crock pot.

Is anyone interested?

Buffalo Chips

2/3 cup real butter

1 1/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

3 beaten eggs

1 1/2cup chunky peanut butter

6 cups old fashioned oats

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 cups raisins

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

 

Set oven at 350 deg, put all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed.  Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet evenly and bake for 15 minutes.  

 

I found when I had help making it this is even good when you forget the sugar lol for those who are truly trying to avoid sugar lol the peanut butter and raisins give it a good flavor but we still prefer it WITH the sugar lol

Hey Allison sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I'm struggling to find recipes my 6 yr old daughter will enjoy that are gluten free, I've managed some by buying a pasta maker and making my own gluten free pasta so she isn't missing out on any of her favorite pasta dishes but breads, desserts and casseroles are another story.

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted.  I started a new job a couple months ago and it's really keeping me busy.  Even though Christmas is over, I wanted to share one of my favorite Christmas recipes.

 

Potato Casserole

8 medium potatoes

1 pint sour cream

1/2 c butter (margarine works too)

1/4-1/2 c evaporated milk

salt to taste

2 c grated cheddar cheese

 

Topping:

1 1/2 c cornflakes, coarsely crushed

1/2 cup butter

 

Boil potatoes in their skins for 15 minutes.  Drain and cool.  When cool, peel potatoes and grate.

 

In large saucepan, combine sour cream, 1/2 c buter, evaporated milk and salt.  Warm; do not boil.  Add grated potatoes and cheese; mix well.  (Add more evaporated milk if too pasty.)  Put into 9x13 baking dish.

 

Preheat oven to 375* F

 

Melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine in small saucepan or in small bowl in microwave.  Stir in crushed cornflakes until thoroughly coated.  Spread over potatoes.  Back uncovered for 30 minutes.

Meg-

My sister-in-law has a lot of gluten free recipes. She was wondering what kind of recipes you were looking for. She has a lot of dessert bread recipes.

I'll have to try that Meg. It sounds good! I'll ask my sister-in-law for some gluten free recipes. She also has food allergies and has had to cook gluten free for a few years now. I'm sure she has some good ones.

In the mean time I have a simple recipe for Bierocks that is always a hit with my husband and he takes them to lunch at work the great part is you can use leftover meat from the night befores dinner.

Bierocks
1 Package frozen bread rolls or recipe of bread dough
1lb meat (we like sausage or leftover pork chops)
2 cups vegetables of choice
2 cups of cheese

preheat oven at 350 degrees
brown sausage (or hamburger)
mix cooked meat and vegetables together
stretch out bread dough put a tbs of mixture on the dough and top with a small amount of cheese pinch dough edges together making a small filled ball. Cook for 15 min on a baking sheet (the freeze really well and can be made in your familys favorite flavors)

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Life has been pretty crazy. My husband requested chicken stir-fry for dinner sometime this week and I don't have a recipe. Does anyone have a good one?
