Let’s Eat! Tacos and Sopapillas

9 Mar

SUNDAY MEMORIES

Judy Wills

Growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I learned to eat Mexican food quite early.  I don’t remember my Mother making anything but enchiladas, but we ate out at Mexican restaurants quite often.  It took me a while to learn to eat guacamole and enjoy it, but now it’s one of my favorite foods!  I never try to make it myself, but our favorite Mexican restaurant in town makes the best!  I have a friend from Albuquerque who owned a health food store and eatery one time, and she just whipped up the best guacamole I’ve ever eaten!  Wish I’d gotten her recipe!

In any case, I had a sopapillas recipe from my Aunt Jessie, but was a bit difficult and time consuming to make, so didn’t do that too often.  I did make enchiladas quite often however.  While we were living in northern Maine for 13 months, we met a family across the court from us who had a Mexican heritage, and she made really good Mexican food.  She shared her recipe for tacos and sopapillas, which have been my family’s favorite for a long time. 

I don’t make the sopapillas that often, but they are a great compliment to the tacos.  They puff up nicely.  Bite off one corner of a sopapilla and pour warmed honey into it…and yummm!!  Lots of Mexican restaurants use sopapillas as a “dessert,” but that’s not what I use them for.  I could make a meal of them!  As a matter of fact, when our girls were growing up, they really didn’t like the tacos, so whenever I made that meal, their meal was the sopapillas!  However, they’ve both grown to love all kinds of Mexican foods.

TACOS

1 finely chopped onion, sautéed in 2 Tbsp butter (or olive oil)

Add and simmer until most of the juice has cooked out:

½ cup V-8 juice

3 peeled minced green chilies (one small can)

1 cup shredded cooked chicken

⅛ tsp thyme (or less, according to your taste)

½ – ¾ tsp salt

Dash of cayenne

Stand taco shells up in a 9”x13” pan; fill each shell with cooked mixture.  Top with chopped tomatoes (or not) and shredded cheddar cheese, and lettuce if you desire.

Bake in a 350º oven until cheese is melted.

(I doubled this recipe for 12 tacos shells)

SOPAPILLAS

1¾ cup sifted all-purpose flour (unbleached is okay)

2 tsp baking powder (NOT BAKING SODA)

1 tsp salt

2 Tbsp shortening (Crisco) – use the stick kind – easier to measure

⅔ cup cold water

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl.  Cut in shortening (I have a pastry blender that I use).  Mix with your hand to get the “feel” of all the shortening mixed in.  Add the water and mix thoroughly to make a stiff dough.  

Knead the dough lightly until it is smooth.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at least 10 minutes. Longer than 10 minutes is okay – it only makes the dough softer.

Roll the dough very thin (about ⅛” thick) into a rectangle.  Cut into 3” squares.

Heat the oil in a large pot until it is very hot (385º – 400º on a deep-fat-frying thermometer).  When hot enough, drop a few squares of dough into it.  Turn frequently so that the sopapillas will puff up evenly.  Remove and drain on paper towels.  

Serve hot with warmed honey.

Let’s Eat! Chicken a La King

2 Mar

SUNDAY MEMORIES

This is a recipe that I found while living in Wiesbaden, West Germany, 1967-1970.  The Wives Club that I belonged to served this at a luncheon one time, and about three or four of us wives were tasked with making this.  That’s where I learned to cook up the pastry shells and serve this meal in them.  

Please notice that, as I said last time, that Fred just doesn’t eat some things – olives and pimentos are just two of them.  After the luncheon was finished, there was some of the chicken and sauce left over – enough for each of us to take some home.  I did so, and told Fred what was in it.  He picked out the olives and enjoyed the remainder of it.  However, the next time I made it, I purposely left out the olives/pimentos, since I knew he didn’t like them.  But at the end of the meal, he told me to add them back in the next time, as the flavor was just not the same without them.  So, believe it or not, when I do make this, he actually eats the olives/pimentos.   

Here is the recipe.

QUICK CHICKEN A LA KING

Wiesbaden, West Germany

1969

1    10½ oz. can Cream of Mushroom soup – undiluted

5 oz can deboned chicken, shredded

2 oz jar green olives stuffed with pimento – or to taste – drained and sliced

½ cup chopped celery

Heat soup, stir in remaining ingredients.

Heat thoroughly and season to taste (salt, pepper)

Serve in cooked pastry shells or toast cups.

Serves 3

NOTE:  I purchase the Pepperidge Farm frozen pastry shells and cook them for this.  Makes a nice receptacle for the sauce.

Goes well with a salad and/or vegetable.

Matthew 8:17: He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. 

Lord, I am healed in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Father I thank You that You sent Jesus to take my  sins and sickness away on the cross.  I am saved and by the stripes of Jesus I am healed. I will prosper and be in perfect health today even as my soul is saved and prospers.  

Your healing of body, soul, and spirit was completed when I was on the cross as a substitute for your punishment.

You are free and secure.

1 Peter 2:24: Jesus bore our sins that we, would live for righteousness. 

By those stripes you are healed.

DiVoran has been writing for most of her life. Her first attempt at a story was when she was seven years old and her mother got a new typewriter. DiVoran got to use it and when her dad saw her writing he asked what she was writing about. DiVoran answered that she was writing the story of her life. Her dad’s only comment was, “Well, it’s going to be a very short story.” After most of a lifetime of writing and helping other writers, DiVoran finally launched her own dream which was to write a novel of her own. She now has her Florida Springs trilogy and her novel, a Christian Western Romance, Go West available on Amazon. When speaking about her road to publication, she gives thanks to the Lord for all the people who helped her grow and learn.  She says, “I could never have done it by myself, but when I got going everything fell beautifully into place, and I was glad I had started on my dream.”

Let’s Eat! Old Time Welsh Rarebit

23 Feb

SUNDAY MEMORIES

Judy Wills

Recently, Fred suggested I fix a meal that I haven’t done in quite a while – a recipe I got from his Mother all those years ago…Old Time Welsh Rarebit.  Some people call this “Welsh Rabbit” – but I’ve never called it that, nor did she.  Her handwriting has faded quite a bit, so I’m glad I transferred it to my computer.

Funny thing about this recipe – Fred thoroughly enjoys it, but it also contains mustard (although not very much of it ) and Worcestershire Sauce – another thing he doesn’t like to eat.  However, since it all mixed in together, and dominated by cheese, he doesn’t mind those two things in it.  As a matter of fact – it wouldn’t taste the same without those two condiments in the sauce.  So all is good.

In making up this dish, it reminded me that there are quite a few other main dishes that I make, or have made in the past, that I didn’t put in this series.  So this is one of those “other” main dishes I forgot to mention.

This is a good-tasting meal, and goes well with either a vegetable or salad.  It does make quite a bit, so there is usually enough left over for at least one more meal – at least for just the two of us eating it.

OLD TIME WELSH RAREBIT

(from Charlotte “Kitty” Wills)

3 Tbsp butter                                                            

¾ tsp Worcestershire Sauce

½ cup flour                                                                        

 3 cups milk

½ tsp salt                                                                          

 2 cups grated sharp Cheddar Cheese

⅛ tsp prepared mustard                         

 English muffins

Dash Cayenne Pepper

In a double boiler melt butter.  Stir in flour, salt, mustard, cayenne, then Worcestershire Sauce, then milk.

Cook , stirring, until thickened and smooth.

Add cheese, cook, stirring occasionally until melted.

Serve over English muffins.

Makes 6 servings

I Choose to Trust

My Take

DiVorann Lites

Psalm 37:3

Lord, I choose to trust in You today, and I will see Your hand more upon my behalf. I shall feed upon Your faithfulness, and You will provide for me. I shall lack no good thing. Lord, I bless You and I thank You for all of the blessings, positions, and favor that You have given to me. You are my Shepherd and I shall not want. I choose to do good today.

Beloved my tender mercies are higher than the highest heavens. My steadfast love for you is greater than the grandeur of paradise.

You are mine and I am yours forever. My promises are secure. They last forever

Let’s Eat! Beef Stroganoff

16 Feb

SUNDAY MEMORIES

Judy Wills

Another of my favorites is Beef Stroganoff.  I got this recipe from a German friend while we were living in Wiesbaden, West Germany, 1967-1970, so it is an authentic German recipe.  I have searched for other stroganoff recipes, but haven’t found any that look to be as good as this one.

One thing I learned very early on in our relationship – is that Fred doesn’t like ANY condiments!  I mean….no mayo, mustard, ketchup, vinegar, pickles, olives…you get the picture.  So, since this recipe calls for sour cream (another thing he won’t eat), I make up the entire batch, then set some out into a separate dish for Fred, then add the sour cream to the rest of it, for me.  As he likes to say – “just leaves more for you!”  That works for me!

As with my recipe for Beef Tips, I again get a steak and cut it into chunks, as I don’t like stew meat.  

If you aren’t a person who likes fresh mushrooms – this recipe might not be for you.  You could try it without the mushrooms…but they really add to the flavor!

Here’s the recipe.

                                                            BEEF STROGANOFF

1 lb. beef (steak) cut in 1” cubes (sirloin is best)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 Tbsp flour

Cream of Mushroom soup – undiluted – 1 10.5 oz. can

2 small onions, sliced

2 cloves garlic, chopped

8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced

¼ cup real butter

8 oz. sour cream

Sauté onions, garlic and mushrooms in butter.  Drain and remove to a plate.

Brown meat in vegetable juices.  Add salt and pepper.  Sprinkle flour over meat and cook about five (5) minutes.  Add Cream of Mushroom soup and stir well.  Return onion/garlic/mushroom mix to skillet, and mix together.  Cook about 10 minutes longer.  Add sour cream, stirring in completely.  Sprinkle ground nutmeg and dried parsley flakes over mixture

Heat thoroughly.

Serve over egg noodles.

Father, I thank You that I am led by Your Spirit, and I thank You that You have given to me the Holy Spirit who guides and teaches me. Lord, I am Your child. So I am led by Your Spirit. Lord, I thank You that the Holy Spirit is going to lead me today.

Beloved you are worth everything to me. I am in you, and the Holy Spirit surrounds you with angels to carry out my ministrations for you and those you pray for. You are my beloved children and  I am well pleased.

Beef TIPS

Well, I’ve exhausted my recipes for cakes, pies, cookies and breads.  But in going through my recipe file, I’ve found more main dishes that I like to make – and we like to eat.  So I’m adding them at the end of this series

One of my favorites is what I call Beef Tips.  Chunks of steak, cut into 1″ pieces, browned in oil, then smothered in Cream of Mushroom Soup mixed with milk and Lipton dry onion soup mix.  Yummmm.  Really hits the spot on a cold winter’s day…or anytime, for that matter.  I usually serve it over cooked egg noodles, but mashed potatoes works well, and possibly rice, although I’ve never done it that way.

I got this recipe from a lady who did the church suppers at our church in Virginia.  Of course, she made it for a crowd, but it works well with the recipe cut down.  I also like a lot of “sauce” so to make it as this recipe calls for, it’s just right.  Adjust the meat to just how much meat you want. 

It originally called for Stew Meat, but I learned a long time ago that I didn’t like all the “fat” in stew meat, or the lack of tenderness in stew meat.  So I purchase a good quality steak and cut it into chunks, and like it much better.  To each his own, I guess.  There are lots of cooks who will use stew meat for this recipe, and they are welcome to it.  I’ll stick to the steak…

Here’s the recipe.

Beef Tips

Judy Wills, 2016

2 pounds lean steak (sirloin is best)

2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup – undiluted

2 cans milk

2 envelopes dry Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Cut steak into 1″ pieces.  Roll in all-purpose flour and sauté in hot oil until brown on all sides.  Put into Crock Pot.

Mix Cream of  Mushroom Soup and milk in bowl.  Add the dry Onion Soup Mix and mix again.

Pour the soup mixture over the meat to cover; place cover on crock pot, and cook on low setting.  Can be cooked all day.

Serve over either mashed potatoes, rice, or small (narrow) cooked noodles (especially good).

Roast Beef and Bare Toes

6 Feb

I don’t know about you but the crazy grocery prices have been challenging our budget. In the past I was pretty good at stretching our food dollars when the rising cost of food was exceeding our budget. Rice, potatoes, pasta, dried beens and even bread were effective budget stretchers. Now, we try to eat low carb and those items while delicious aren’t low carb.

Lately I have been craving a nice roast beef, that is, until I look at the price in the store. Roast beef has fallen into the window shopping category. Occasionally I have enjoyed a pot roast beef sandwich at Culvers, but it just isn’t the same.

Photo Credit: Culver’s online order page.

Two weeks ago Winn-Dixie ran a shoulder beef roast on sale at a price I could afford. Hallelujah. It wasn’t a cut I was familiar with but thinking that cooking it on low in the crock pot would tenderize it. I took a chance and bought two.

PS Don’t get me started on the cost of eggs.

I put one in the freezer and cooked one. Since potatoes are a no-no, I cooked it with radishes. Surprisingly after hours in the crock pot, the radishes were good. I had a partial package of sun dried tomatoes and decided to toss them in along with a stick of butter and a little bit of red wine I found that was leftover from a meal our daughter cooked the day before.

I was a bit apprehensive when I removed it from the crockpot. Would it be tough and stringy? It wasn’t. It was delicious, juicy and tender.

It did not look like the picture below but it was the best photo Word Press A.I. came up with.

Last week was also momentous.The temperature rose to bare toes weather. Since we arrived in Florida in mid January, the weather has been windy and chilly. My flip-flops remained in the suitcase and instead I pulled out my cozy Cuddledud socks and slip on Sketchers. My poor toes hadn’t seen sunlight since November.

In typical Florida fashion we went from put a blanket on the bed, to turn on the A/C. My flip flops came out of the suitcase and my toes are free!

Word Press A.I.

I looked at the 10 day weather forecast last night. Highs will be 80 degrees or more. I wanted some bare toes weather but 70s would have been perfect. On the positive side, I will be getting plenty of Vitamin D on walks with our grand dog, Ollie.

I'm a winner

After my retirement, I decided to re-learn the canning and preserving skills I learned from my mother but hadn’t practiced for twenty years. I titled the blog Old Things R New to chronicle my experience.  Since then I have been blessed to have six other bloggers join me, DiVoran Lites, Bill Lites,  Judy Wills, Louise Gibson, Janet Perez Eckles and Melody Hendrix

In addition to blogging, I’m a general  “mom Friday” for my author daughter, Rebekah Lyn. I also manage her website, Rebekah Lyn Books  

My 2024 goal is continue to use my love of photographs and words to be an encourager on social media.

Let’s Eat! Breads and Dinner Rolls-Part 2

2 Feb

SUNDAY MEMORIES

Judy Wills

There was a time, growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that we would go to our church on Wednesday evenings for dinner.  We had some amazing cooks there, and  what they made was delicious.  But what I remember the most was the dinner rolls they made – absolutely amazing!!  I still remember that yeasty taste, and have tried to find a recipe that is even close to those.  There is one I found called “Schoolhouse Rolls” that comes as close as I can find to that taste.  Here’s the recipe:


School House Rolls

 (makes 24 rolls)


1/2 C. powdered milk 
2 pkgs. active yeast
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. shortening (do not use oil or butter, shortening only)
1 1/2 C. warm water
4 C. all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt

Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 C. water along with 1/2 tsp. sugar in a small bowl (smallest bowl of three nested bowls.  Allow to foam. 

 Put all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, add the shortening and blend. 

 Add the foamed yeast to the mixture.  Add the remaining water and blend well.

  Remove the dough from the bowl and turn it out onto a floured surface.  Kneading the dough a couple of minutes and form it into a ball.

Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover and let rise until double in size. 

 Punch down the dough, knead again for a couple of minutes and divide the dough in half. 

 Roll out each half to 1/2″ thickness.  Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on a greased baking sheet, or pull into small balls, place two in each greased muffin tin, to make Dolly Partons.  Let rise again until double in size.

Bake in a 375 degree oven until golden brown on top.  Around 10-12 minutes. Brush with melted butter.

There was another time when a friend gave me a recipe for rolls for breakfast.  The neat thing was, the rolls were frozen!  I could purchase them frozen from the store.  The night before I wanted to make them for breakfast, I would get out my Bundt Pan.  I would put together sugar and cinnamon, dip the rolls in melted butter, and roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mix.  Then place them, stacked, in the Bundt Pan.  When all the rolls were in place, I would spread the remainder of the sugar/cinnamon mixture over the rolls (if there was any left), then pour the remainder of the melted butter over it all.  Cover with a dish cloth and let it rise overnight, then bake in the morning!  Yummmm!  

To add bread to a supper meal, I would take those frozen rolls (I can’t find them here in Florida, much to my distress!), place two frozen rolls in each cup of a muffin tin, brush with melted butter, then let them thaw and rise together, and bake when they had sufficiently risen.  

To help them rise, I would heat the oven to about 250º, then turn off the oven when we put the muffin tin in the oven.  They would thaw and rise nicely! We called them “Dolly Parton” rolls – for obvious reasons!  But BOY were they good!

One lady in our church would always bring her squash casserole to church dinners.  I asked her one time if she would share her recipe.  Her comment was “I’ll give you that recipe if you will give me the one for your dinner rolls.  They taste just like the ones my mother used to make”  I was embarrassed to tell her they were frozen rolls!  But we shared recipes, just the same.

Long time ago, I was given a recipe for “Dilly Bread” that included Dill Weed in the dough as well as cottage cheese.  It was usually made in a round, squat loaf, rather than in a loaf pan.  I thought it was quite good – a bit different from normal.  Fred, of course, wouldn’t eat it because it had the cottage cheese in it.  So I didn’t make it very often – and haven’t done so in many years. But the memory is there, and I can almost taste it…  Here is the recipe:

DILLY BREAD

1 package yeast – dissolved in ¼ cup warm water

1½ cup cottage cheese – warmed

3 Tablespoons sugar

1½ Tbsp minced fresh onions

1½ Tbsp butter

2 teaspoons dill weed

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp baking soda

1 egg beaten

2½ to 2¾ cups all-purpose flour

Mix all ingredients – add flour gradually until very stiff

Cover – let rise about one (1) hour

Punch down and place onto baking sheet, shaping into a round loaf

Let rise another 40-60 minutes

Bake at 325̊ for 40-50 minutes.  Cover with foil after 15-20 minutes

Brush with butter and salt
