Beef with Mushroom Gravy (Slow Cooked style)

Sometimes, the best recipes are not the ones you follow but the ones that are made from inspiration. I used to eat at this dimsum place, where they pour beef tips with a thick sauce with green peas. Last night, while amidst a blackout..cold and in the dark..I imagined how nice it would be to cook in my crockpot..my beef roast, but instead of cooking it the traditional way Julia Child's way (beef bourguignion)..I would use my favorite ingredients and using my instincts...I would use mushrooms and gravy instead of red wine or broth..what would result in my best Beef (rice topping)Stew recipe ever!

Ingredients:

2 lb Beef chuck roast, 1 inch pieces
1 c sliced mushrooms
1 can Amy's organic semi condensed mushroom soup
Cornstarch for coating beef
Lysanders beef rub
1/2 medium Spanish onion sliced
2 T butter
3 T white cooking wine
1/4 c frozen green peas


Directions:

Coat beef with beef rub seasoning and cornstarch. Brown in an iron skillet with 2T of olive oil. When, brown..transer to crockpot. Add 1 T of white cooking wine.
In the same pot, add 1 T of butter and add mushrooms and saute till soft. Add 1 T wine. When tender..transfer to the pot. Add the 1 can of mushroom soup to the beef and stir.
In the iron pan, saute 1 T of butter and add sliced onions. Add 1T wine, and saute till tender. Transfer to the crockpot. Add frozen green peas to pot.

Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8 hours..

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes.   Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket.  Lay out and cut in squares.   Add the mango peach filling.  Top with ...

I was watching the show on Lifetime called Mom's cooking. This recipe was inpired by that show. This is called Salmon Wellington. Intead of puff pastry, I accidently got the phyllo dough. But still turned out well. I would cook this for a party gathering again, since it was easy to make and it's healthy.

Defrost the puff pastry and and unroll. Place on filet of salmon in each crust. Top with a slice of mozorella and frozen spinach. Fold like a burrito. Brush with egg white wash. Bake in oven Preheated 425 F for 30 minutes or until brown.

Mango Cream Pie

For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture. Ingredients: 2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly 1c organic heavy whipping cream 1 small can condensed milk 1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up) 2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder, (2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs ...
