Homemade Gnocchi with Sweet Italian Sausage Sauce


Gnocchi Recipe: 
Boil 3 Russet potatoes in salt water 
until very tender.

After they cool down smash them with a fork and 
add 1 large egg
2 tsp salt
2 cups all purpose flour
roll out into logs and cut them to desired size
boil into salt water until they float to the top
wait 5 minutes and take them out.

Note: You can brown these up in a separate skillet
by adding a little butter and olive oil with some
garlic or whatever herb you desire.


Sweet Italian Sausage Sauce

I used this sausage

and these tomatoes
I took the casings off the sausage and browned it up and then added the tomatoes and cooked them for 10 minutes then I added the gnocchi to the sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese.

Perfect Homestyle Fried Chicken

Perfect Fried Chicken


8 chicken leg drumsticks
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream
of chicken or mushroom soup
1 1/2  tsp. seasoning salt
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
3/4  tsp. seasoning salt
pepper to taste
oil for frying
1.In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.
2.In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).
3.Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F. Be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces.
4.Place coated chicken on a baking sheet or platter and allow to sit until it becomes moist/doughy (this ensures nice and crispy chicken)
5.Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on baking rack or paper towels and serve.

Follow Me on Pinterest

Taco Seasoning:

1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup onion powder
1/8 cup ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt
Put ingredients into a jar and shake.

Dry Onion Soup Mix:
2/3 cup dried, minced onion
3 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake. I’d recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before each use.
Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of onion soup mix. Store this in a dry, cool place.

Ranch:
5 tablespoons dried minced onions
7 teaspoons parsley flakes
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix together and store in an air tight container.
For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.
For dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream.
Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend.

Facts on Oxygen Absorbers and How They Work - Country Cooking Recipes

Follow Me on Pinterest


What are Oxygen Absorbers and how do they work?
Oxygen absorbers use a base metal (iron) and a basic chemical reaction (oxidation) to remove and sequester oxygen inside the little packet.  If you open a packet up you will see a dark gray or black substance, which is just powdered iron.  As a packet is used up, the material inside the packet will become a little hard and crunchy, and will turn a reddish brown.
How Many Oxygen Absorbers Should I use?
A general rule of thumb is to use 300-500cc of oxygen absorber per gallon of food you are storing.
A little chart on how that works out:
1 Quart Bag - 100cc oxygen absorber
1 Gallon Bag - 1-2 300cc oxygen absorbers
2 Gallon Bag - 2-500cc oxygen absorbers or 1-1000cc oxygen absorber
5 Gallon Bag - 1-2 2000cc oxygen absorbers or 2-3 1000cc oxygen absorbers
