4 lamb chops
1 cup brown rice
1 cup white wine
2 cups water
Tony Cachere’s seasoning (to taste)
2 cups beef stock
1 package frozen “gumbo veggies” (okra, corn, etc.)
2 tbsp olive oil
Preheat oven to 325F and place 2 burners on HIGH. On one burner, put a saucepan with 2 cups of water to boil. When boiling, add rice. Place dutch oven on burner an heat up the olive oil. Season lamb chops with Tony Cachere’s and brown both sides (while rice cooks).
When meat is browned, deglaze the pot with the white wine. Then add the gumbo veggies first, then the rice (even if it’s not cooked thru, it’s fine. It’ll steam more). Cover the pot and place it in the oven to braise.
Last night, w/in about 20 minutes the dish was cooked thru. Pull of meat and place the pot back on the stovetop. Add stock and heat mixing it all together.
This is good without making into a soup too…

Lambalymbo
Mini Mushroom Cheese Sandwiches
1 can Cambells Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup
1 8oz package of shredded mozzerella cheese
Preheat oven to 375F. Pop open both tubes, and separate all the little triangles. Arrange them on a silicone mat on a backing pan/in a backing dish. With a teaspoon, spread a spoonful of still condensed soup inside each triangle (be sure to leave the tip clear so it will close). Sprinkle with cheese. Roll closed.
Cook for 11-13 minutes--just like it says on the package. Makes 16.
The baby LOVES them as part of a meal. No crusts. Buttery bread. And he doesn't get his hands "yucky" because the filling doesn't fall out.
"It Tastes Like Christmas" cake
This recipe takes a few days, but it's WONDERFUL
It got it's name because when my sister took her first bite, she declared that it, indeed, tasted like Christmas.
Cake:
2 boxes chocolate fudge cake mix, perpared per box directions (you have
to, scratch recipes don't come out right)
Icecream:
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup sugar
5-6 drops cinnamon oil
1 bag redhots, crushed
Red food coloring
Frosting:
1 bottle Magic Shell fudge
Special equipment:
Ice cream maker
Betty Crocker Bake n Fill pans
Pour prepared cake batter into Bake-n-Fill top and bottom and add
matching "insert" to create cavity in the top and bake per directions in
the pan booklet. (the dome and tall cake are cooked at different
times/temperatures).
When the cake has come out of the pans, clean the pans (being sure to
dry them completely) and line them with cling film. Then put the cooled
cake halves back in and place them in the freezer. Freeze till frozen
solid.
Normally, at this time I place the container to my icecream maker in the
freezer too and just leave them overnight.
Then make the icecream, combining all the ingreadiants in the ice cream
freezer till done. Scoop the still runny icecream into the frozen cake
cavity. While still inverted, place the bottom on, cover with
clingfilm, and freeze for several more hours till icecream has set and
top and bottom have joined (I usually do another overnight).
Now it's ready for serving. Remove from pan top and place on serving
platter. Drizzle Magic Shell over top, cut, and plate.
