Lisa's Hamburgers

My burgers are good.  Don't mean to brag, but they are. Here is how to make them.

1lb ground beef

2 squirts of bbq sauce

1 med onion, chopped fine

bread crumbs, about 1/2 - 3/4 of cup, depending how juicy the mix is. add it last.

1 egg

couple swooshes of worchestershire

2 blip blips of tobasco

about 1/2 tablespoon of montreal steak spice

pepper,

salt

3 cloves of garlic, pressed through a presser.

Mix it all together and add the bread crumbs last to make it the consistency you want it.

form a round ball and put on a plate.  Use another plate to squish it down into a little patty.  use wax paper to prevent sticking to plate.

bbq and enjoy.

jaxson liked these as Clark wasn't interested.

Chicken Adobo

about 6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic

Put all ingredients (including the chicken) into a sauce pan with a lid. Bring to a boil then turn it down to a simmer for 60min.


I was at work and asked one of the philipino ladies what they cook that is yummy and easy and this was it! There is nothing to it and Jaxson eats it all up! I serve it with rice and usually broccoli.

Sun tea

Sun tea.... cheap easy make your own ice tea.
i make it all summer long and you can make different flavours using different teas. i use a huge glass jar which i fill with water and 5-6 tea bags some sugar (i don't use much at all but for black teas i would use 1/4 cup for 3 litre jar) then i leave it out in the sun for a few hours. then take out the tea bags squeeze in some lemon and give it a stir and chill. yummy easy and CHEAP. right now I'm making green tea sun tea as that's the herbal tea i have but black tea works or herbal teas or a combo.

Supper tonight.

Okay,

I have been reprimanded for slacking so I should post my supper for tonight.  

Tonight I have made a left-over quiche. 

We made a pizza the other night and I had some left-over pepperoni and mushrooms, so i made a quiche.  I didn't use a recipe so I don't have exact measurements but here we go.

3/4 cup chopped pepperoni

1/2 cup chopped mushrooms

1/2 can of drained stewed tomatoes

1/4 of a red pepper (chopped)

1 cup mozzarella cheese

4 eggs

1/4 cup milk

pie crust. I made from veg cristco and all it takes is flour, crisco, and water. super easy.  the box will have directions. anyone who has a kitchen aid can make this.

make pie crust

roll out dough, place in bottom of pie plate

add pepperoni, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, to bottom of pie crust.

in a separate dish, beat eggs and milk, add salt and pepper and cheese.

pour eggs into pie crust on top of the veggies and meat.  

put in oven at 375 and cook around 45-50 mins or until eggs set. enjoy.

Stuffed Pasta Shells (tonights dinner)

1 box of Pasta shells
1 package of ricotta cheese
1 package of frozen spinach
1-2 jars of pasta sauce (or make your own)
garlic
1 egg
Parmesan and mozzarella cheese (as much or as little as you want)

Put some pasta sauce on the bottom of whatever pan/dish you are using. Put the cooked pasta shells in single layer on top of the sauce.
Mix together ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, 2-3 cloves of garlic and about 1/4 of parm cheese. Stuff the pasta shells with this mixture.
Cover the pasta shells with more pasta sauce and grate mozza and parm cheese all over. Cook at 350 degrees for about 30-40 min.

This also freezes really well! You just need to cook it for longer when putting into the oven frozen. Jaxson really loves this!! And so does the hubby :)

I am on the search for an easy strawberry jam recipe. I've never made jam but i have lots of frozen strawberries and no jam in the house so i thought since I'm trying to be frugal I'll make some.... any help would be great.
