Welcome to our family's kitchen!

These are some of our family's favorite recipes, including a lot of recipes that were handed down from my mother before she passed away. I often joke that I graduated from "The Culinary Institute of Mom's Apron Strings." My boyfriend and I love to cook; he even creates a special dinner every Friday night based on an important, or funny, or ridiculous historical event. You can look that up at "Doomed to Reheat" - we even do a podcast that you can listen to! We're a family of cooks, whether it's professional or amateur, and we hope you enjoy our recipes!

I am learning to blog as I go along, so please be patient with my mistakes! Until I figure out how to remove the headers, please use the links on the right side of the page to access recipes. I will add recipes as we find them, or as I find them from my current (very large) stash of recipes.

Chili Con Carne

5 lbs sirloin, cubed
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup ancho chile powder
1/4 cup cumin
1/3 cup oregano
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup freshly ground pepper
8 ounces tomato paste
1 bay leaf
12 ounces beer of choice
10 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup canola oil.

Mix together all seasonings and rub down meat. Sear in canola oil in a medium-hot stockpot. Saute onions and garlic on medium-low heat for about 7 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. Add beer to deglaze and scrape with a wooden spoon. Add tomato sauce and bay leaf and simmer on low flame until meat is very tender. Add seasoning to taste.
