Cooking WTF Style-Ham Steak

 

To say that the summer flew by is an understatement.  The start of school means a lot of different things to people for us it means Lee gets a lot more done at the farm because his "farm help" isn't there & for me it means I get back into the cooking groove.

 

During the summer I do a lot of week-end cooking & we do a lot of eating of leftovers thru the week.  Or we eat A LOT of vegetables & other goodies we have gotten from the Farmer's Market.

 

I'm also busy canning & freezing so we have plenty to eat during the fall & winter so I don't feel like cooking!

 

Our menu for the first week of school has been:

 

Monday

 Lamb Burger Sliders (WTF Lamb)

Steamed Broccoli (WTF Garden/Frozen)

Apples (Davidson Farmer's Mkt./Canned)

 

Tuesday

Ham Steak (WTF Pork)

Crowder Peas (WTF Garden/Canned)

Bread (Grocery Store)

served with Butter (Davidson Farmer's Mkt.) & Peach Jam (Peaches & Cream peaches canned by me)

Pickles (Correll Farms cucumbers canned by me)

 

Wednesday

Tacos/Burritos (WTF Chorizo)

served with Funky Pepper Salsa (Salisbury Farmer's Market)

 

 

So we are off to a good start for the school year.

Now, for one of my easy, easy meals.....Ham Steak.

 

Thaw it, season it & toss it on the George Foreman Grill.  How much simpler can we get?

Cooking WTF Style- Sausage Balls

 

Our oldest son LOVES when I make sausage balls, it is one of his favorites so I try to make them at least once a month.

 

I had a friend who commented one time that she only had sausage balls at Christmas not at the WTF house, we love them!

 

My recipe comes from a church cookbook.  Those cookbooks usually have lot of good tried & true recipes in them.

 

 

 

I don't know why but I could not get the photo to turn. 

 I'll post the recipe at the end of the post.

Simple ingredient list just 3 items.

Sausage

Bisquick

Shredded cheese

Just a quick note here....I use to make my own Bisquick mix but I have found that actually using Bisquick works better than the Basic Mix recipe.

 

 

Also, I prefer to buy block cheese & shred it myself.  I normally use more than 1 cup of cheese since I shred it myself & I don't use 3 cups of Bisquick.  You wouldn't expect me to follow a recipe exactly now would you?

 

 

 

After mixing the ingredients together, roll them into balls & bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Then forget to take a picture until they are all almost gone!

But I can assure you everyone in the family LOVED them!!

 

 

 

Sausage Balls

3 cups Bisquick

1 lb. sausage

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix ingredients together & roll into balls.  Bake for  15 minutes.

Cooking from the Farmer's Market- Eggplant

 

Eggplant is not something I cook much.  I normally cook it once a year & do my version of Eggplant Parmesan.  But I was trying to branch out a little & try something different.  I got 4 small eggplants from Correll Farms at the the Farmer's Market on Saturday & then googled eggplant recipes.  I came across a recipe called Eggplant Caviar that sounded good & I went from there.

 

This picture is actually from the website not my picture.  While my Eggplant Caviar tasted good it was not as pleasing to look at as this picture.

 

 

I would definitely make this recipe again but I added maybe a little too much garlic so I would not add as much garlic the next time.  But on another note there were no vampires at our house all week-end!
