There are so many ways to name this one!

Pioneer woman calls it Egg in the Hole.  She also references 13 other ways to name this recipe. I made this for Adam for breakfast, I don't do eggs that well, working for McDonalds for over 2 years in high school, you would not want to eat them either. It was so simple, five minute total for the whole thing. So here is the steps.

The ingredients

sliced bread

eggs

butter

salt

black pepper

So simple

cut of holes(I used a glass)

cook for one minute then flip

Then plate

Try this sometime, it will be gone.

All that was left was the juice!

I have babied this beef brisket for 3 days. The marinating and waiting.....and waiting... and waiting.... and finally the cooking slow for over 3 hrs. I tell you it stuffed all six of us. This time I made Pioneer Women Beef Brisket. It for me was just a little salty, and did not shred, but it was devoured. So I will get to the good stuff.

Here is the recipe

Braised Beef Brisket

The Ingredients are:

beef consomme(not beef broth)

low sodium soy sauce

juice of lemons

garlic cloves

liquid smoke

beef brisket

One thing I can say is that none of these recipes have very many ingredients

Next we prepare

the beef consume(looks pretty gross)

The soy sauce(I will had half of this mext time) A little strong

the lemons

The garlic, oh!!! bring on the garlic

The liquid smoke(I think this is what makes it)

The brisket.  I went to Kroger and was looking all around the meat dept for beef brisket and the meat guy says this is way cheaper. Beef brisket is like 7.00 or more a pound. He says it is the same thing as beef brisket just leave the spices off. I think he was wrong. It would not shred.

I had to marinade for 48 hrs.

cover and wait...wait...wait...

wow looks good.

ready to eat and eat and eat.

Soups on with a side of cornbread!

I sat with my cookbook and made a grocery list of all the things I needed for a few recipes. I really needed to collect several things I was lacking in the spice cabinet and liquids like sherry, red and white wine vinegar. I started this morning with marinating a beef brisket, it has to marinate for 24 to 48 hours.

I decided to make Sherried Tomato Soup and a pan of Cornbread.

white or yellow onion
butter
diced tomatoes
tomato juice

Then after you get the onions translucent add the tomato juice and diced tomatoes.

Are you ready to get started?

This is my first post on cooking with the Pioneer Woman.  I really need to get to the grocery store to stock up on a few things so the recipe I am making first is ......
Chicken Spaghetti makes 6 to 8 servings.  Now I have made my version of this for a few years, my mom has a version using velveta cheese instead of shredded cheese and you don't bake it in the oven. So lets see which version is better. 

First make sure you have all the ingredients:
Chicken
spaghetti
pimientos
onion
green pepper
cream of mushroom soup
cheddar cheese
season salt
pepper
cayenne pepper

I will start off with a picture of the pages.

I started with getting the chicken cooked and cutting my veggies.

Then after the chicken boiled I kept the chicken stock and cooked the noodles in it. Then cut up the chicken.

Once you have all the stuff ready you mix it all up.

Put it in a casserole dish and cover the top with a little cheese and bake for 30 min or so.

And the finished results is this!!!

It was very good, much easier to make than my other Chicken Spaghetti.

Well, we will see how this goes!

My Aunt Debra told me about this blogg she loved to read http://thepioneerwoman.com/ . She used to have blogg, but now it is website.  I looked at it a few times, but not one I read everyday till about 5 or 6 months ago.  She has a cookbook now that has so many stories and great pictures.  I like that she cooks real food, not the recipes that have 200 ingredients and 6 hours to make.

I plan to cook thru her cookbook at least in a year, maybe shorter, the cookbook is not that big. I will be blogging about it everyday. I do need a few things that I don't have like a dutchoven, and a bigger cast iron skillet. I am sure there will be a few things she used that I don't care for like clam sauce or wine, wine to me is so gross. I will at least try everything once.  If you know anyone that like to cook like me this is the perfect gift. Make sure though, I was going to buy it for someones birthday and found out it is not their idea of a good gift. lol.

The first recipe is BBQ Jalapeno Poppers it calls for 6 ingredients. YES!

Wish me luck. Also, I will be doing a givaway of her cookbook soon, so stay tuned!!! Happy Blogging Everyone!!!
