When You Don't Have Evaporated Milk

 When You Don't Have Evaporated Milk

 What do you do when you don't have evaporated milk for a recipe? Or, in my case, you open it and it has gone bad? I was right in the middle of making my pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving when I opened my evaporated milk and it was chunky and smelled funky! Oh no! What to do, what to do! I know, I will google it!

 If you don't have any, make your own:

To produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of regular milk down until it becomes 1 cup. In many recipes, evaporated milk may also be replaced with a combination of whole milk and half-and-half. Substitute 1 ½ cups of cream or half and half (or a combination of the two) for the evaporated milk. You can also use milk (any kind from whole to skim). When doing it this way, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch in with the sugar and spices to help the pie set up.  Watch for more tips as I run into more dilemmas! Until next time...........

Awesome Grilled Pork Chops

These grilled pork chops will have friends and family declaring you the king (or queen) of the grill! These easy-breezy pork chops are a keeper, thanks to an easy rub that's made from seasonings you already have!

The Hubby used 4 - 1in. thick boneless pork chops, butterflied them and applied the rub all over.  They came out juicy, flavotful and perfectly charred!

4 1in thick pork chops
3 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients into a bowl.  Sprinkle and rub in to both sides of the chops.  Place on grill and cook until internal temperature of 145*f.

Stove Top Easy Cheesy Chicken Bake

This recipe calls for Stove Top stuffing but you can use any brand.  Also, I substituted the broccoli florets for a broccoli, cauliflower, carrot blend because I didn't have broccoli florets.  While I was eating this, I thought it would also taste good with corn mixed in.  

Creamy and cheesy comfort food.   Easy and quick to make!  

Prep:  10 minutes  Total: 40 minutes

• 
  Stove Top Easy Cheesy Chicken Bake
  
  6 oz. Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
• 1 1/2 lb. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 pkg. (14oz) frozen broccoli florets, thawed, drained
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  
  Heat oven to 400.
  
  Prepare stuffing as directed on package.
  
  Combine chicken and broccoli in 13x9 baking dish. Stir in soup, milk and cheese; top with stuffing.
  
  Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is done and casserole is heated through.
  
  

Cube Steaks In A Red Wine Sauce.

 

Looking for something new to do with cube steaks?  I know I was and thought, "Hmmmm I wonder how they would taste in a red wine sauce?".  So, I looked on google and found a few different recipes and took ingredients from them and combined them.  

I started with cooking the steaks, setting them aside, then making the sauce and letting it reduce. I ended it by pouring the sauce over the steaks!  It took less than 20 minutes!  I served with corn and homemade dinner rolls.


Feel free to use this wine sauce on any red meat.  I am going to try it on a roast!

Red Wine Sauce

21/2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp oil
2 tbsp brandy
1/2 cup red wine or red cooking wine
1/2 cup beef  broth
2 tbsp chopped chives (dried or fresh)
Salt and pepper to taste.
1/2 lb cube steaks (or other red meat)

1. Salt and pepper both sides of the steaks.  
2. Melt 1/2 tbsp of the butter and oil in large pan over medium heat.  Add meat, cook 3-4 minutes per side or until done.  Transfer to plate.
3.  Add brandy and wine to skillet until.  Cook until reduced (2-4 minutes).  
4. Add broth; boil until reduced and thickened (3-4 minutes).  
5. Remove pan from heat.  Whisk in remaining butter and chives.  
6.  Pour over steaks and serve.
