Good Eats in 2013

We seriously just finished up having these for dinner tonight, and everyone raved about them.  This is not a new recipe in our household, just I haven't made these in like forever!  Seriously I cannot remember the last time we had these!
They are originally from a family friend, Marge, but I have given this recipe out to so many people I have named it my own.  Most don't know Marge anyways!

So here it is.  The only reason I don't like to make it often, even though it is a dumb reason is because of all the chopping of veggies.  I don't even chop them, I use my food processor!!  So why do I complain about it....I don't know. 

Jenny’s Sloppy Joes 

1 lb ground beef
½ c onion
¼ c green pepper
¼ c celery
1 8oz tomato sauce
¼ c ketchup
1 T vinegar
1 T sugar
1 ¼ t Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper

Brown beef, then add finely diced veggies and cook till tender. Drain fat. Add rest of the ingredients and simmer covered 20 minutes.

Maybe I should just call it Sloppy Jennys - we all know how many napkins I need when I eat!


On a side note, DO NOT call this barbecue!  BBQ is something you cook on the grill...something completely different then Sloppy Joes people!

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have a lot of energy to put much into this, plus its been a llllloooooooonnnggggg time since I last blog

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy!  You could put a rub on the ribs of your liking

Hit the road James, Jenny, Jadyn and Jenna!

Well, if all went as planned we should be on the road by now.  I planned on going into work on Friday at 4 AM, and not take a lunch so I can be out and on my way home by Noon.  Hopefully on the road by 1:30 pm.   We are totally winging this first day/nights drive.  We were initially going to stop 1/2 way through Minnesota, but are plans have changed and we are going to see how its going and try to get to Souix Falls, SD instead.  Push it hard one day, take it easier the next days drive....   We are all super excited and hopefully I can come home with some awesome pictures and great memories!
