I prepared this for supper this evening.
Its really more than two servings.  I will probably make it again.
I love sweet onions!!!!

Baked Talapia and Scalloped Corn



Baked Talapia and Scalloped Corn

My Aunt Ruth's Scalloped Corn  (Leslie gave me this recipe)

8x8 inch square pan
Saute onions, celery and green pepper in oil. (She doesn't say how much- about what you would  add to a casserole that size?)

l cup crushed crackers (we use Ritz)or you can use toasted buttered Italian bread cubes
1 egg, beaten
1 can creamed corn
a little salt and pepper
1/3 cup plus one tablespoon milk (3/8ths cup)

In a large bowl add the beaten egg to the cracker crumbs. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Bake in buttered pan for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Optional- add canned french fried onions to the top before cooking.
I did not feel like sauteeing vegetables so I substituted a couple of tbsps of dill relish
I used saltines
and I did put the french fried onions on the top
DELICIOUS!!!

I put four talapia fillets on a foil lined pan
spread honey mustard dressing on top
and then spooned some corn relish on top of that
and baked in the oven while the corn was baking
DELICIOUS

served with toss salad and cranberry sauce.

Potato, Ham and Corn Chowder

While cooking the potatoes (cut into small chunks), I chopped and cooked  (in butter) a whole onion.
Then I let the potatos cool for about a half hour, and then I cut them into bite sized pieces and
threw them in the pot with the onion.  I tossed the potatoes and onions together and then put in about
a third to a half cup of flour, and tossed that.  I added a few cups of milk and started the simmering and
thickening process.  After a few minutes, I added some garlic juice, salt and pepper and a can of creamed corn and some cut up ham.  Simmered until desired thickness.  Delicious!!!

Chocolate Brownie Cookies

One Box of brownie mix
One box of instant chocolate pudding
stir together
then add
three eggs
and 3/8 of a cup of vegetable oil

drop by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased
baking sheet
bake six to ten minutes
next time I would add a half cup of flour and
perhaps chill the dough for a while
since I was NOT able to roll the dough into
balls, like the original recipe said

after cooling, I made EXTREMELY EASY PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 stick margarine
  • 1/3-cup milk
  • 1/2-cup peanut butter
  • Melt margarine and put in mixing bowl.
    Mix on low or medium speed
    while you add some of the sugar and then some milk.
    Keep adding sugar then milk until you get the desired consistency.
    Add peanut butter.
    Add more sugar or milk if desired to get back to the desired consistency.

    These measures are approximate.

EASY BBQ SAUCE


Ingredients

  • 1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together onion soup mix, sugar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Do not use until the last few minutes of cooking, because this sweet sauce will burn if cooked for too long or over too high heat.
OK...I added some items to this
I used a bit more brown sugar
1/3 cup of chili sauce
some minced garlic
some Amish sweet pepper relish
and a bit of hot sauce


I put some on top of ribs in the crockpot after they had cooked on high for a couple of hours
and then I heated the rest up and let it simmer, and served it with the ribs.

Warm apple/pineapple/pomegranite/blueberry sauce

I had five apples, each a different kind which I needed to use up.  I sliced them and then cut each slice into
small pieces, placed in a pan, added some brown sugar and cinnamon and put in the oven at 375 for about 35 minutes.  Then I let them cool a bit.  Put in the blender, along with a small cup of pineapple chunks and a bit of pom/blueberry juice.  Kept warm by sitting them on the top of my gas stove while something else was cooking in the oven. 

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!
