Using the same basic recipe as I do for my Chicken Pot Pie, I used up most of the leftover turkey today. I improved the recipe a little, primarily with the gravy. I used 1 quart of turkey stock. Instead of using arrowroot to thicken, I used organic unbleached white flour (gasp!). I didn’t measure, [...]

Brined Turkey
Posted in cooking on November 28, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
In the past my wife has always cooked the turkey. Usually we just buy a butterball or something that is self-basting and then cook it in a bag. This year we tried something different. I bought a completely natural (i.e. not self-basting or injected in any way) Amish turkey. I brined it for about 24 [...]
Quick Turkey Soup

Why waste a perfectly good turkey carcass. After I had carved all the meat off the bird, I put it in a stockpot and covered it with water. I added a couple carrots, celery, and an onion (see Chicken Stock). I let this simmer from Thanksgiving dinner until after shopping on black Friday. I iced [...]
Yogurt Cheese (and Whey)

I found this technique in Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook a while back. It was used in a recipe for something called tzatziki. My extended family raved about it when they were here for a week this summer. Nourishing Traditions also describes something similar. Someday I want to try this with my home cultured kefir, [...]

Here’s my developing pot pie recipe. This is the second time I’ve made it and I’ve added a few tweaks. I used a 9×13 inch glass pan. I quartered a couple handfuls of small red potatoes – enough to mostly cover the bottom. I browned about 1lb of chicken meat in olive oil and cut [...]
Hot Cereal

I never used to be a fan of hot cereals. However, they have grown on me with age. Going off of recipes in both Nourishing Traditions and Sue Gregg‘s Breakfasts book, I have arrived at a hot cereal I really like. I take whatever whole grains I have on hand. Usually that’s brown rice, barley, [...]
Chicken Stock
Posted in cooking on October 17, 2006 | 10 Comments »
So over the weekend I made chicken stock. I followed the guide in the Nourishing Traditions cookbook. I’ve done this before, but this time I cooked it for twice as long as I have before. Thursday I moved my chicken (a free-range chicken) from the freezer to the refrigerator. Friday afternoon I put it in [...]
