Vegetable onion gravy

This is my first attempt at gravy; I made it because I wanted gravy with my fries but I didn't have any.

For this gravy you need:
1/2 of a white onion, diced
2 vegetable (or any other kind) bouillons
1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup of flour

Mix all ingredients together in a pot and bring to a boil.
I don't like raw onion so I sautéed the onion first in some of the butter.

My gravy also came out kind of thick so you might not need so much flour.

It was also a little salty (but I like salt) so make sure you taste before serving.

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Carrot curl salad

Image
So I saw this recipe on Chatelaine and changed it a little. Here is the link if you want to see the original: http://food.chatelaine.com/Recipes/View/Carrot-curls-with-pine-nuts This is a great holiday dish that is different from the traditional boiled carrots. Starts by peeling 2-4 large-medium sized carrots and rinsing them off. In order to get the carrots curly you have to basically just keep peeling. Do it in long strokes as it make it look prettier and will be easier to eat. To make the sauce, take about 1/2 cup of Italian dressing and a few tablespoons of honey (to taste) and whisk them together. Add in some basil and onion flakes (or real onion, if you like that), and then about a half of a teaspoon to a full teaspoon of ginger spice Put your carrots in the serving dish an sprinkle some onion or onion flakes on top. Add some cranberries and walnuts and then drizzle your sauce on top if it. You can even add some brown sugar to the sauce if you find it is too tart. ...

Homemade Beanless Chili

Image
I made this without beans because a) I don't like beans, and b) we didn't have any. Of course you can add them after the meat is cooked if you like. This recipe makes a ton of chilli - can probably feed 10 people. Easy to make though and would be great for parties. You'll need: 2 onions (white or purple or a combination) 1 red pepper 1 green pepper 2 large celery stalks 1 pack/can of mushrooms 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 lbs of lean ground beef 3-6 sausages or sausage meat 2 tablespoons of chilli powder 2 teaspoons each of cumin, garlic salt, paprika, and oregano Hot sauce to taste (optional - not in mine) 1 large can of crushed tomatoes 1 small can of tomato paste 1/4 cup of ketchup 1/8 cup of brown sugar 1/8 cup of Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar Brown and crumble the sausage and ground beef in a large pot. Drain the excess grease. Add all your vegetables, diced, and the spices. Add the remaining ingredients and summer for about an ...
