I have a new favourite around here.
I've always loved to read cookbooks and try new recipes.
Howie surprised me with a sweet cookbook that I spotted
in the cutest little kitchen shop a few years back.
It was right about the time when things were a little crazy in
my kitchen due to cooking so much new stuff for our precious oldest son.
This sweet book was set aside for awhile, but now, it's finally getting put to use.
I've made five things from it, and they have all turned out to be yummy.
Within its pages, you will find everything from starters to desserts,
muffins, soups and main dishes ~ it's a keeper!
**Goodness Gracious Cookbook ~ it would make a fabulous gift.
The illustrations are lovely and the recipes appear to be handwritten.
It's picture perfect ~ wonderful for a teacher's gift, Mother's Day,
Birthday, Christmas or *just because*. It's just so pretty.
One of my new favourites is found within its pages.
Skillet Dinner is one of the five new things I tried ~ have you ever made one before?
I hadn't. It was easy and yummy and quick. How can you miss?
It's not *gourmet*...it's just *down-home-good* comfort food.
Here's what you do.
Take a pound of ground beef ~ I used the organic ground beef
from Costco which comes in 1.33 lb packs.
Why do they do that, I wonder?
Consequently, I used the full package rather than just one pound.
Scramble fry the beef in your skillet until cooked.
Drain off the fat if necessary.
Add in 2 cups frozen corn kernels,
28 oz tin of diced tomatoes with juice,
2 cups fresh carrots chopped,
1 cup shaped pasta, uncooked
(use a little more for a more hearty end product) ~
I like using rice pasta in this recipe,
and a sprinkling of chili powder (approx. 1 tsp).
Bring to boil over medium heat ~ add water if it's sticking.
Reduce heat and simmer with lid slightly ajar, stirring occasionally,
until vegetables are tender and the pasta is cooked.
This will take about 20 minutes.
Add a little water as it cooks as needed ~
the end result is shown in the photo below.
I used some sea salt to season at the end of cooking ~
taste and see if it's necessary.
Sprinkle grated cheddar on each serving.
Serves four generously.
This is on the menu this week ~ it's so easy and yummy.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Many Blessings,
Camille
