Fried Cabbage

Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Onions

6 servings (if using as a side dish)
6 net carbs per serving

1 medium head green cabbage, chopped loosely
3 slices bacon, chopped
1/4 large onion or 1/2 small to medium onion, chopped
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce (optional)
salt & pepper to taste

In a large pan cook the chopped bacon over medium to medium-high heat. Once the fat renders off and there's plenty of bacon grease in the pan, add the chopped onion.  Right when the bacon has just started to crisp, add the chopped cabbage, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.  Stir occasionally until cabbage is softened and a little pan browned.  Taste before serving as you may need to add more salt and pepper depending on your preference.

Grandma Esther's Swedish Pancakes Recipe

The Original Grandma Esther Dahlstom's recipe for Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)

 

Directions

1. Mix eggs, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
2. Add the melted butter, then the milk, a little at the time, and whisk to a smooth batter. The batter will be very thin (almost like for crêpes). Refrigerate overnight for best results.
3. In a hot skillet or round griddle (preferably cast-iron), add one teaspoon butter and just as much batter to cover the bottom (turn the skillet around to spread the batter). Fry the pancakes golden brown on both sides. Add more butter for each new pancake.
4. Roll or stack them on a serving plate. Keep warm.
5. Serve hot, preferably with whipped cream and jam.

Another Swedish Meatball or Köttbullar Recipe

Swedish Meatballs or Köttbullar  Unlike the large meatballs in sweet and sour sauce which are often called Swedish; genuine köttbullar  are small meatballs served with alone or with a thin pan gravy and traditionally accompanied by tart, red lingonberries or lingonberry preserves. Serves 4 to 6; Yields two to three dozen meatballs   1/3 cup finely-ground plain breadcrumbs   1/3 cup milk (skim, okay)   1 small yellow onion   1 egg (or egg white)   1 and 1/3 pounds lean ground beef   1/2 teaspoon salt   1/8 teaspoon pepper   1/4 teaspoon allspice   1 tablespoon butter and  1 tablespoon canola oil  or  cooking oil spray For pan gravy:  Butter as needed, up to 1 tablespoon  1 tablespoon all-purpose flour  1 cup beef stock Lingonberry preserves, optional (Red currant preserves or whole-berry cranberry sauce can be substituted)   Soak bread crumbs in milk for 5 to10 minutes until the liquid is  absorbed. Peel and quarter onion. Finely dice onion in a food processor. Add the egg,  meat,  soaked bread crumbs and  seasonings. Pulse  until thoroughly blended.   Shape meat mixture into small balls, less than an inch in diameter; if the mixture sticks to your hands, wet them with cold water. Heat the frying pan and add butter and oil. Saute meatballs in 2 or 3 batches, shaking pan frequently to keep meatballs from sticking. Drain on paper towels  and keep warm.    Alternatively, meatballs can be placed on a greased or non-stick broiler pan or rimmed cookie sheet. Broil for several minutes, then drain on paper towels. Use another, deeper pan for gravy.    To make the pan gravy,  scrape off and discard any browned bits of meat that may be sticking to pan after the meatballs are done. (If less than 1 Tablespoon fat remaining in pan, add butter to compensate.) Add the flour, stirring with a fork until brown. Quickly add stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a fork or whisk, until gravy thickens. Remove from heat and serve immediately with the meatballs.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

I've been making Ranger Cookies lately

I've been making a bunch of Ranger Cookies lately to satisfy my sweet tooth. They are not too sugary and have mostly healthy ingredients.

RANGER COOKIES

Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flake-type cereal (like Special K or Total, etc)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
Directions:
1. Cream shortening with sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla.
2. Mix together dry ingredients and stir into wet mix. Place by heaping spoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Remove immediately to cool.

Try it. It is almost like Mom used to make.

Texas Flour Tortillas (adapted from The Border Cookbook by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison)
Ingredients:
Two cups of all-purpose flour (can make them whole wheat by substituting one cup of whole-wheat flour for white flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
3/4 cups of warm milk

Method:
Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and oil.
Slowly add the warm milk.
Stir until a loose, sticky ball is formed.
Knead for two minutes on a floured surface. Dough should be firm and soft.
Place dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap for 20 minutes.
After the dough has rested, break off eight sections, roll them into balls in your hands, place on a plate (make sure they aren’t touching) and then cover balls with damp cloth or plastic wrap for 10 minutes. (It’s very important to let the dough rest, otherwise it will be like elastic and won’t roll out to a proper thickness and shape.)
After dough has rested, one at a time place a dough ball on a floured surface, pat it out into a four-inch circle, and then roll with a rolling pin from the center until it’s thin and about eight inches in diameter. (If you roll out pie crusts you’ll have no problem with this.) Don’t over work the dough, or it’ll be stiff. Keep rolled-out tortillas covered until ready to cook.
In a dry iron skillet or comal heated on high, cook the tortilla about thirty seconds on each side. It should start to puff a bit when it’s done.
Keep cooked tortillas covered wrapped in a napkin until ready to eat.
Can be reheated in a dry iron skillet, over your gas-burner flame or in the oven wrapped in foil.
While you probably won’t have any leftovers, you can store in the fridge tightly wrapped in foil or plastic for a day or so.
Makes eight tortillas.

Chaos?

There was a doctor, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist sitting around late one evening, and they got to discussing which was the oldest profession.

The doctor pointed out that according to Biblical tradition, God created Eve from Adam's rib. This obviously required surgery, so therefore that was the oldest profession in the world.

The engineer countered with an earlier passage in the Bible that stated that God created order from the chaos, and that was most certainly the biggest and best civil engineering example ever, and also proved that his profession was the oldest profession.

The computer scientist leaned back in the chair, and with a sly smile responded, "Yes, but who do you think created the chaos?"

Gospel
Mt 10:24-33
Jesus said to his Apostles: "No disciple is above his teacher,no slave above his master.It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher,for the slave that he become like his master.If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,how much more those of his household!
"Therefore do not be afraid of them.Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed,nor secret that will not be known.What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;rather, be afraid of the one who can destroyboth soul and body in Gehenna.Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.Even all the hairs of your head are counted.So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.Everyone who acknowledges me before othersI will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.But whoever denies me before others,I will deny before my heavenly Father."
