Six Three’s Ice Cream by Pepper PHillips
Posted: September 15, 2015 Filed under: Indie Author Leave a commentMany years ago I found a quick and easy ice cream recipe in my local newspaper.
It was delicious. Light with a slight fruity taste, it was delightful.
Then somehow, I lost the recipe.
It’s taken me over twenty years to find that recipe again, and here it is.
Six Three’s Ice Cream
Three cups of cream
Three cups of milk
Three cups of sugar
Mix sugar and milk together until sugar dissolves
Three mashed bananas
Three oranges, juiced
Three lemons, juiced
Mix all together and freeze according to your machine directions.
That is it!
Super easy, except for mashing and squeezing and mixing.
How could I forget such an easy recipe?
Green Jello Salad by Pepper Phillips
Posted: September 15, 2015 Filed under: Indie Author Leave a comment
Green Jello Salad:
Two boxes or one large of lime Jello dissolved in two cups of boiling water.
One carton of small curd cottage cheese.
One can of crushed pineapple, drained.
Mix together and put in the fridge.
For the topping, mix 8 oz. cream cheese with 3/4 cup mayonnaise. I generally let my cream cheese sit out for an hour first to make it easier to blend in the mayonnaise. Spread on top and it’s done. You can sprinkle chopped pecans on the top if you want.
The hubby loves this and warned the kids that they could take any leftovers they liked but to leave the jello salad alone.
What is your favorite recipe that was handed down to you?
Good-bye Fresh Crawfish by Pepper Phillips
Posted: June 16, 2015 Filed under: Indie Author Leave a commentThe hubby pulled the crawfish traps last week, so that means no more crawfish boils for the family this year. Here are some photos from the last boil.
This is a sack of crawfish placed in a wheelbarrow to wash before cooking. When the very young grandkids are around they have to check out the activity inside the wheelbarrow. The bravest try to pick one up. Easy to do if you grab them on both sides of the body behind their front claws. But you have to be careful that another crawfish doesn’t grab your fingers while you’re doing that.
Then the hubby and sons put the crawfish into wire baskets and lower them into boiling water. When they are cooked, they then put them in a mixture of crab boil in another steaming pot until the crawfish absorb those wonderful flavors. Then it’s onto the table.
My son had these special crawfish tables made. At the top left corner and bottom right corner you can see some lids, which come off to reveal a garbage can underneath. So you can throw the peelings away without fuss or muss.
I had to pose a picture because I couldn’t find what I wanted on the internet.
We serve the traditional corn-on-the-cob, boiled small new red potatoes, boiled eggs and a couple of garlic heads. Some people like to cook them in the crawfish boil water, but I prefer to do mine on the stove.
This is one of the large ones that my son held out for me. This is definitely a ‘select’…
So, it’s the last of the fresh crawfish. The season generally lasts from March to June in our area. But I have some crawfish meat in the freezer, so it’s not the last crawfish meal…that’s for sure!
