Roasted Cabbage

This is the recipe I found online:

Roasted Cabbage Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Yield: serves 4 to 6 Ingredients 1 Head of Cabbage, sliced into wedges Olive oil, for drizzling Salt and Pepper to taste Lemon juice, for drizzling (optional) Instructions Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Slice your cabbage into wedges.Lay them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Salt and pepper your wedges to taste. Bake the cabbage wedges for 20 to 30 minutes until tender and golden brown in spots (baking time will depend on the thickness of the wedges). Serve immediately. (Drizzling a little lemon juice right before serving takes this dish over the top!)

I was unable to cut the cabbage into wedges, so it ended up in large shreds and skipped the lemon juice, and this was delicious!!!!!  I stirred a bit of tomato jam into some of the cabbabe and that was good, too!

Oven Baked Pineapple Pancakes

2 cups Bisquick
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Oil                                                      I halved this recipe and used a smaller pan.  and I added a dash of vanilla

Heat oven to 425. Grease a large pan (15 ½ x 10 ½ x 1). Whisk all ingredients together until well blended. Spread in pan. Add extra ingredients. Bake 14 to 16 minutes. Cut into squares and flip bottom side up on plate (it is more golden)

I was in the mood for something fruity, so I took some of my leftover pineapple sauce (which I made to put over ham balls last week) and dropped small amounts on the top of the batter before putting into the oven.

SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

I have quite a few "ham balls" left over and I wanted to make some
sort of sauce to go with them.  This is my first time making sweet and
sour sauce:

• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 2/3 cup water

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Place the sugar, vinegar, water, soy sauce, ketchup and cornstarch in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir continuously until the mixture has thickened.

I substituted orange juice for the water and used half brown sugar and half

white sugar and tripled the ketchup.  When I first tasted it, it did not seem sweet enough
so I added some brown sugar
and I added a bit more orange juice.

AMISH STYLE HAM BALLS

AMISH STYLE HAM BALLS

one egg

3/4 cup milk

one half pound ground ham

one half pound sausage

3/4 cup bread crumbs

I doubled the above recipe, and added some

honey mustard and teriyaki sauce and some

pepper to the ham and sausage mixture to give it

more flavor.  One to one and a half inch balls in

a greased nine by thirteen pan at 350 degrees

1.  As ham balls begin to cook, combine crushed pineapple, suger, and dry mustard in a saucepan over low heat. Continue over low heat, stirring occasionally, reduce until thickened, like gravy.


2. After the ham balls have been in the oven for 20 minutes, place pineapple glaze over them, and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.


3. Remove from oven, let stand about 5 minutes before serving

for the sauce I used a large can of crushed pineapple, a 

heaping tbsp of ground mustard and a cup of brown sugar
