  • Goodness gracious! I made this meal for a event, and it disappeared in minutes

    Goodness gracious! I made this meal for a event, and it disappeared in minutes

    Bananas provide a creamy richness to our no-bake banana dream cake, which also has crispy cookies and delectable whipped cream. When the weather gets warmer, no-bake dishes like this one are a lifesaver. Whether you’re hosting a party or just want a special dessert for a weeknight, this cake will be a hit. When ovens were a luxury few could afford, no-bake cakes were a genius way to make sweets without the oven. Their origins may be found in those simpler times.
    To cut through the richness of this sumptuous cake, try it with a strong cup of coffee or a delicate herbal tea. It would be a delightful addition to a dessert spread with some fresh fruit or gelato for a burst of coolness.
    Three big, ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
    twelve ounces of vanilla wafers—one packet
    1 container of thawed whipped topping (8 oz.)
    one 3.4-ounce container pudding mix, vanilla, instant
    (1) cup of chilled milk
    powdered sugar— half a cup and one teaspoon of vanilla essence
    Some more banana slices and crumbled vanilla wafers for topping it off
    What to do
    1. Combine the chilled milk and instant vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. To thicken, set aside for 5 minutes.
    Second, whisk in the vanilla extract with the pudding.
    3. In a another dish, mix the powdered sugar and whipped topping until well combined.
    4. In a big dish, stack the bottom with vanilla wafers to begin building the cake. For a sturdy foundation, overlap slightly.
    5. Arrange sliced bananas on top of the wafers.
    Sixth, top the bananas with half of the vanilla pudding.
    7. Layer the bananas, then add another layer of vanilla wafers, and finally, top with the remaining pudding.
    Put the whipped topping on top and smooth it out evenly.
    9. Add extra sliced bananas and smashed vanilla wafers as garnish.
    10. Allow the flavors to combine and the wafers to soften into a cake-like consistency by chilling in the refrigerator for at least three hours, preferably overnight.

    Try using graham crackers or shortbread biscuits instead of vanilla wafers for a novel take on the old standby. You may also experiment with other pudding flavors; for example, you can use banana or cheesecake pudding mixes to enhance the cake’s flavor. For those who are watching their dairy intake, try using almond or oat milk instead of normal milk and a dairy-free whipped topping. Toss in some toasted coconut flakes just before serving for an extra crunch.
    Fry up some chicken with some chopped carrots and onions in a pan.
    After the onion and carrots have been added, lower the heat to medium. As the chicken begins to brown and the carrots and onions begin to caramelize, continue cooking while stirring occasionally.
    Poaching chicken with chopped onion, carrot, capers, olives, and raisins.
    Bring to a boil and then add the almonds, raisins, capers, pine nuts, and olives. After a quick stir, pour in half a cup of vin cotto. Reduce the liquids by half by deglazing the pan while scraping and stirring the fond, or browned pieces on the bottom. Toss in the leftover vin cotto and heat till boiling.
    In a pan, sauté chicken with chopped carrots, onion, capers, and raisins in a wine sauce.
    The sugar and vinegar should be mixed in a small basin. While stirring, heat the addition to the pan. A coating will form as the sauce reduces. Use sea salt and freshly ground pepper as seasonings, according to your taste.

    You can prepare everything ahead of time, keep it in the refrigerator, and cook it when you want.

    Use smoked gouda instead of cheddar and small peppers instead of mushrooms in this recipe. Use sun-dried tomatoes instead of bacon if you don’t eat meat.

    Ingredients needed:

    the common white mushroom in its entirety

    Pimientos rojos

    Chopped fresh garlic.

    Cheese that has been cut into small pieces.

    I love these tasty bites. You can use them for any type of party. You should buy some now because they will be very popular and sell out quickly! You can also heat up leftover food again.

  • Crock Pot Cube Steak OMG!! THIS IS DELICIOUSS!!

    Crock Pot Cube Steak OMG!! THIS IS DELICIOUSS!!

    Crock Pot Cubed Steak with Gravy is the ultimate no-fuss weeknight dinner recipe. Tender, flavorful and goes perfect with mashed potatoes!

    CROCK POT CUBED STEAK AND GRAVY
    This meal is not only inexpensive but it is one of those “set-it and forget-it” type meals. You can toss everything into your slow cooker and dinner will be ready when you are!
    Looking for a hearty slow-cooker recipe that you can set and forget until dinnertime? Look no further. This easy smothered cube steak is perfect for hungry crowds, best served with mashed potatoes and a light veggie side like spinach salad.

    Made it? Let us know how it went in the comment section below!

    I am of the opinion that there isn’t really a “fast fry” or minute steak that works out cooking it quickly. There are tons of recipes on the internet that tells you to cook it in a frying pan for 10-15 minutes. Well, I’ve had shoe leather with every attempt I’ve made to fast cook those steaks, so that doesn’t really work, does it? I think that if you have a great local butcher that can cut and tenderize real minute steaks then you have it made. If you are buying the steaks at the grocery store, assume that they need to be treated as cube steaks. All of these types of steaks are thin and tenderized yet have never yields a tender result for me from fast frying them. Slow cooking is the way to go!

    Ingredients:
    6 cube steaks
    1 medium onion peeled and sliced into rings
    1 can cream of chicken soup
    1 can cream of celery soup
    1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
    1/2 soup can of water
    salt and pepper

    Instructions:

    Peel, slice and separate the rings of one medium sized onion.
    Salt and pepper each cube steak.
    Place 2 cube steaks in the bottom of your crock-pot.
    Top with onions and repeat. Separating each addition of meat with onions. This will help separate them later and avoid them being one melded mass of cube steak.

    In a separate bowl, add the cream of soups and water and mix it up. Pour the soup mixture over the meat..
    Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top, put the lid on the crock-pot and turn it on low.
    Soon your kitchen will start to smell delicious and 6-7 hours later you will have a dinner! Add a side of mashed potatoes to help enjoy the gravy an a salad or green veggie and you are ready to eat.

    Note: If you like cream of mushroom soup, I’m sure you can use that as well. As for me, I’m not a fan, so I opted for a different combination.
