Un-Corned Beef Sirloin Cap - The Saga Continues

Aye Colleens and Boyos - Tis St. Patrick's Day A Comin' Don't Ya Know!



Un-corned Beef Sirloin Cap with Low Carb Colcannon

This is a story of St. Patrick's Day Dinner in the Denny and Susie House with all our St. Patrick's Day "Boyos". It's a St. Patrick's Day Dinner in pictures. I hope that will give you inspiration to go out and try new things.

I've long thought with today's refrigerator technology, the need to "corn" beef is unnecessary and takes a ton of time. Not to mention that it's looking like nitrates/nitrites aren't such a sweet anti-cancer deal.

Buying beef pre-corned isn't an option for me. I hate the chemicals in the store bought corned beef and dislike the slime you feel when you open the package. Sooo....what's an Irish girl to do?

Last year I made the Un-corned Beef Brisket, another quick method with intense flavor. This year, I wanted a lean, lean cut o' the beef and I

What's That In Your Freezer Wednesday (WTIYF Wednesday) Game

Mar 14 2012 Ingredients: Grilled Chicken and Shrimp

It's that time again Kiddy Troopers! I posted the ingredients over in the Freezer Diving section. Yay!!! I also posted some pictures of two freezer diving events from this past week!

You have until 4pm today to post what you think I should make with today's mystery ingredients! Can't wait to see the suggestions! Post your suggestions in the comments section under this weeks post over in the Freezer Diving section.

Sorry to miss posting the Irish Soda Bread recipe. I probably won't have a chance to do that before St. Patrick's Day because I'm out of coconut flour - a key ingredient in the new bake mix. *wah* *sob* I'm waiting for a shipment to come in.

St. Patrick's Day Pan Roasted Root Vegetables

These Pan Roasted Root Vegetables Bring Tears To Darby O'Gill's Smilin' Eyes!



Pan Roasted Root Vegetables - Rutabaga, Turnips &
Cabbage with Boiler Onions and Carrots

There’s more than one way to skin a Killarney cat!

What do you think of when you think of roasted vegetables these days? When I think about roasting, I think of high temperatures and ovens. St. Patrick’s Day Pan Roasted Root Vegetables are as far away from the oven method as the highlands to the sea.

Since it’s already spring in Hell, Texas (aka Houston), I want to use my oven as little as possible for as short of a time as possible. St. Patrick’s Day Pan Roasted Root Vegetables treat you to a taste

Roasted Vegetable Marinara Sauce

Give BPA the boot! Vote With Your Pocket Book!



Roasted Vegetable Marinara ready for use with vegetable lasagna!

I developed the recipe for Roasted Vegetable Marinara due to my abject fear of continuing my Bisphenol A (BPA) habit.

Yeah I didn’t even know I had a BPA habit. I guess loving canned tomatoes like nobody’s business and loving the convenience of canned soups and boxed broths and the occasional mushy canned green bean cooked for hours in bacon and onions means I’ve been going steady with BPA my entire life. Especially since my mom loved these same foods and ate them while she was preggers with me. That’s not a good thing.

You can read more about BPA here in the Fluffy Chix Talk Nutrition area. I won’t bore you here.

All I will say is…can you say, “Hello breast cancer? It’s me Susie. Not happy to meet you!” *wah* *hic*

Low Carb Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse

Creamy, Dreamy, Floaty Clouds of Chocolate Deliciousness



Low Carb Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse
with Sugar Free Macerated Strawberries

The other night Kevin (you remember Kevin, one of our sock monkey “boys”) was sequestered to the chain gang in the kitchen doing dishes and he said, “Mom, why don’t you ever make dessert for the inmates in this joint?”

To which I calmly answered, “Kevin are you forgetting the chocolate dipped strawberries I made you, Daddy, Buddy, Tony, Schylling, and your little dog Wee Wee, and Wee Wee’s baby, Skeeter for Valentine’s Day?”

Kevin replied, “That’s so “two weeks ago,” we’re “over here” now, Mom. And besides, strawberries are not dessert food.”

I snapped at him, “They are when you dip them in scumpt-dilly-ish-ess sugar free low carb chocolate ganache scented with orange and fresh thyme!”

He said nothing, stared at me intently, then turned his nose up and pronounced with derision, “Psssshaw! Fish food.”

Grilled Mediterranean Lamb Shoulder Chops Won't Give The Cold Shoulder

Mediterranean Lamb Ain’t Misbehavin’

Grilled Mediterranean Lamb Chops with Pickled Onions
and Asparagus in Ghee

Oh, you will feel the love from these Lamb Shoulder Chops, grilled to perfection. No cold shoulder for you! These tasty lamb chops combine so many things I adore – lamb, fresh herbs (I grow them in pots on my patio), lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and olive oil.

Best of all? These Mediterranean-style grilled lamb chops are brought to you by the color Brown. Cooked to medium rare over a blazing hot fire sears the outside, creating tantalizingly crispy rendered “crust” while preserving the moisture of the delicate flesh

Pickled Onions – Onion Pickles

Pick a peck of pickled onions!



Onion Pickles or Pickled Onions - doesn't matter, just pick a peck!

 It doesn’t matter whether you call this delectable condiment pickled onions or onion pickles, because you will still feel excitement and the burst of spring with every bite. Best news yet? They take mere minutes to make. Pack a wallop of nutrition. And onion pickles cost almost nothing to make. Aunt Bea would have liked this recipe, because these onion pickles don’t take months to develop, nor do they require any heavy equipment like home pressure canners, canning tongues, you get the idea.
