I've had it since it came out in '97 and I still use it regularly. It has a pantry list that's become more-or-less automatic for me, with staples like boneless chicken breasts, center cut pork chops, pre-shredded cheese, minced garlic, etc. etc.<br /><br />Joan, your grandmother's bean casserole and pudding cake sound fantastic.

W...Thanks for the Faked Baked Beans recipe, Julia! Will have to give it a try. I'm afraid I make cornbread from scratch, a recipe from my friend Crescent Dragonwagon's Dairy Hollow House Soup and Bread Book--Skillet Sizzled. It's made with buttermilk and baked in a cast iron skillet, and honestly, it's not that much harder than a mix.<br /><br />Our Texas sort-of chili cheat we had last night, in honor of the coldest night of the season so far. I brown a pound of groun grass-fed beef with a pound of ground turkey, add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce, two 8 oz cans water, and the seasonings from Wick's Fowler's 2-Alarm Chili Mix. (We leave out most of the red pepper packet.) We add two drained cans of kidney beans because we like beans in our chili, even though chili purists say it's a no-no. Cook until all the flavors are blended. Serve with grated cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, or whatever garnishes you like on your chili.

But when I ...OK, I don't really cook that much. But when I find something good in a jar or a can, I like to pass it on, especially for other Mexican-food-starved males living on the east coast. MRS RENFRO makes a green chili salsa in a jar. Wow. Slop it on the reheated leftover chicken or pork, roll it up in a warmed tortilla (flour or corn), and you have an instant delicious meal.

...That dessert... it looks amazing. Got to try it.<br /><br />I make a cornbread from a recipe I cut a few years ago from the NY Times. It's what they serve at the East Coast Grill, a legendary restaurant in Cambridge (MA). It is more trouble, and I make it with fresh corn cut off the cob. <br /><br />2 cups all-purpose flour<br />1 cup yellow cornmeal<br />3/4 cup white sugar<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1 tablespoon baking powder<br />2 large eggs<br />1 1/2 cups whole milk<br />1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil<br />1/4 cup melted butter<br />2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels.<br /><br />1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and put it in the oven to heat up.<br /><br />2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and oil. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, add the melted butter and the corn and stir together until just mixed.<br /><br />3. Remove the hot cast-iron pan from the oven and pour into it the batter, then give the pan a smack on the countertop to even it out. Return pan to oven and bake, approximately 1 hour, until the corn bread is browned on top and a toothpick or a thin knife inserted into the top comes out clean.

However, in deference to Julia’s “on the quick!” I’ve hunted up a couple of yummy suggestions that are quick and easy to put together.<br /><br />My grandmother’s favorite bean casserole:<br />Mix together:<br />One one-pound can of pork and beans<br />One can kidney beans, drained<br />One can chick peas [garbanzo beans], drained<br />One-fourth cup chopped onion<br />One-fourth cup molasses<br />One-fourth teaspoon Tabasco sauce<br />Two tablespoons prepared mustard<br />Remove three frankfurters from a one-pound package; cut the remaining franks into small pieces and mix into the beans. Score the three whole franks and place on top of the casserole. Cover; bake at 375 for fifty-five minutes; uncover and continue baking for twenty more minutes.<br /><br />For dessert, Hot Fudge Pudding Cake<br />In an eight-inch square baking dish, mix together:<br />One cup Bisquick<br />One-half cup sugar<br />Three tablespoons cocoa<br />Stir in and blend well:<br />One-half cup milk<br />One teaspoon vanilla<br />Over top of batter, evenly sprinkle<br />One-half cup cocoa<br />One-half cup sugar<br />Pour one and two-thirds cups HOT water over this; bake at 350 for forty minutes or until top is firm.<br />Cake will bake on top with rich chocolate sauce below.<br />Dust with confectioner’s sugar, if desired.<br />To serve, scoop cake into bowls; top with the chocolate sauce. <br />Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.Joan Emersonnoreply@blogger.com
