Bacon Sandwich - thank you Susan

Oh, Really kitchencookingrecipes.com ?????

This sounds yukky - but it has a faascinating draw. I might just make it...

V8 BISCUITS


3 c. self-rising flour
1/8 tsp. soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
2 (4 oz.) cans V8 vegetable juice cocktail




Methods/steps
Combine flour, soda, salt and sugar in medium bowl; mix well. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add enough juice to form soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until brown.

If you do...let us know how it turns out. I just couldn't even imagine V-8 as a bisquit ingredient!

I think we're going to have breakfast for dinner. Some sort of chorizo, potato thing in a skillet with an egg in a nest type of thing going on. I think.

These turned out to be SO totally delicious, that we made them two nights in a row for dinner !!!

Tonight is Veggie Burger Sliders. They're really good.

Here's the Recipe (The link in the video description is wrong - that's silly)

Makes 16 Sliders

Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil, more if needed
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 teaspoons ground Peppercorns
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
2 (14-ounce) cans Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup whole raw cashews
2 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice and zest of one lemon
2 cups panko-style breadcrumbs, more if needed

For Serving
Challah rolls, small buns or pita bread
Tzatziki
Tapenade
2 thinly sliced roma tomatoes
1 thinly sliced red onion
Method

Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions and peppers are soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in ground pepper, oregano, cumin, paprika and salt, cooking for 1 minute to bring out flavors. Place sautéed pepper and onion mixture in a food processor with beans, cashews, eggs, cilantro, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pulse to combine. Add breadcrumbs and pulse until incorporated. The mixture should be thick yet slightly chunky. Chill mixture 10 to 15 minutes, until firm. Add more breadcrumbs if mixture seems too wet or warm water if the mixture seems dry.

Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a pan over medium heat. Spoon mixture into pan to form patties about 1/2-inch think and 3 inches across. Make 4 to 6 patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. While patties cook, grind some extra pepper over the tops of the burgers. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and cook remaining patties, adding more oil as needed. Serve on toasted challah rolls topped with tzatziki, tapenade, tomatoes and red onions.

Cooked patties can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for 2 months.

Alternate toppings: Cilantro pesto, crumbled feta and sliced roasted red peppers.

Yucky? Really? I have one word.

Vegemite.




(which, of course, everyone knows is delicious)

Hmmmmm... Vegemite Biscuits... I wonder?

Dinner tonight was homemade chicken soup.

I bought one of those rotisserie chickens last night for dinner, so after dinner I threw our bones into a stock pot with some mirepoix. Popped the stock in the fridge for tonight's soup. Added 2 cans of chicken broth, chopped celery, onion, and sliced frozen carrots.

I made one unfortunate mistake... overestimating the noodle capacity of the soup I'd been putting together. I threw in an entire bag of egg noodles!

Which were not covered by the liquid in the pot :rolleyes: So I had to add several cups of hot water (as I was out of canned chicken broth to add). Also meant that I needed more chicken, so I ended up with one of the Costco cans of chicken (Disneyphile knows what I'm talking about) plus the meat off the wings from last night's bird (we'd only eaten about half the bird).

It's quite tasty, but I wish I hadn't had to water it down quite that much as the tastiness is getting a little diluted. Still, tasty and satisfying.

New York Steaks grilled, Oven Baked Beans and Coleslaw....yum!
