Apples For Dinner

By on May 30, 2012 in Recipes, Side Dish Recipes

Apples For Dinner?

Why not.  If you anticipate throwing away uneaten apples, make them into a family dinner side dish before they go bad.

When I see a few apples that are past their prime, I’ll make this simple recipe to serve alongside a casserole or hearty entree, like Chicken-Fried Steak.

Grandma’s Kitchen- Your Next Weekly Meal Plan Is Here

By on November 13, 2011 in Making Dinner

Meal Planning for Busy Families

If you’re a subscriber to The Organized Cook then you’re enjoying our “Grandma’s Kitchen” Weekly Meal Plan with many dishes inspired by my very own grandmother, Betty Jean.

What motivated me to create a meal plan with easy one-dish dinners like Baked Ghoulash could be the fact that my grandmother is coming to visit for Thanksgiving.

Or with all of the cooking and preparation I will be doing for our upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner I wanted easy suppers that warm the spirit like this week like Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and Homemade Chili.

Easy Ghoulash Recipe

Grandma’s Ghoulash is a much easier version of Hungarian Ghoulash which can be quite time consuming to prepare.  My grandmother always made easy one-dish dinners like this.

Father’s Day Breakfast Recipe Made Easy

By on June 13, 2011 in Recipes, Survival Guide for Busy Moms

I know I’ve created an easy Father’s Day recipe when I can get away with using only one pan.  In fact, in exactly 8 minutes on YouTube, I demonstrate how to make my Open-Face Steak & Egg Sandwich with Pan Gravy using only 5 ingredients and 1 pan.  The gravy recipe came straight from my grandmother.

  5. Fry eggs until medium then transfer atop bread and steak
  6. Add a couple more tablespoons oil or butter to pan
  7. Add flour and saute until flour browns (will look like peanut butter)
  8. Very slowly pour milk into flour while whisking
  9. Stir until desired consistency- add more milk if too thick or more flour if too thin- (you want the gravy in the pan to be slightly thinner than how you want it on the plate)
  10. Serve gravy spooned over the top of sandwich
