Pour brown rice and water into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium- high heat, then reduce heat to medium- low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 40 minutes. Preheat a skillet over medium- high heat. Add turkey sausage, and cook until well browned on the outside, and no longer pink on the inside.

Remove cooked sausage, then stir in garlic and onion. Cook for a few minutes until the onion softens and begins to turn translucent. Add green pepper and cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in half of the vegetable stock along with the tomatoes and pimiento. Season to taste with red pepper flakes, Cajun seasoning, and pepper. Cook until the liquid has almost completely evaporated. Stir in sausage with remaining vegetable broth, and simmer until all is hot. Serve sausage mixture over brown rice.

I made this for our Thanksgiving feast, and made it exactly as written, then tasted. Besides being far too tart ( which, after reading reviews, I was prepared to add sugar, but I gave the written recipe a fighting chance as written) , but also, even with such bold, flavorful ingredients, I found it rather & quot; flat& quot; or & quot; lacking& quot; . I started the & quot; tweaking& quot; with a tablespoon of sugar and additional pinch of salt. Better, but not there. It just had no depth. So another tablespoon of sugar went in, followed by more dijon and eventually about 3 times the garlic.

A volunteer taster agreed that it just seemed really one dimensional, so finally with the addition of 1/ 2 tsp thyme and three green onions it was really a lovely dressing, but by then, it was not this recipe at all, thus the three stars. This all surprised me because I took that first bite expecting to love it.

I just found it lacking, but a nice base for additional flavor.

Mi first meal with Pork Spare Ribs. My in- laws really loved it. I had 3 lb of pork but did not change any of the ingredient. It was perfect as is. Just like others, after 6- 8 hours in the slow cooker, I put it on the tray, put some bbq sause over it and let it stay for 10 minutes in 400 degree oven.

That was it was a bit dryer, and more appealing to eat. Also, the sauce was really good with mashed potatoes. Not too strong, not too blend. . . just perfect.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F or grill to medium- high. Center one chicken breast half on each sheet of Reynolds Wrap& # 174; Non- Stick Foil with non- stick ( dull) side toward food. Combine cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper; sprinkle 1/ 2 teaspoon mixture all over chicken. Combine tomatoes with remaining spice mixture; spoon beside chicken. Arrange zucchini strips over chicken and tomatoes.

Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make two packets. Bake 20 to 22 minutes on a cookie sheet in oven. OR grill 10 to 12 minutes in covered grill.

* I increased the # of eggs to 6. & # 10; & # 10; I made these for a baby shower and every single person LOVED these. I had never made them and was nervous making a new recipe, but I am so glad I did. & # 10; & # 10; Some people have halved the biscuits, but I did not. With the extra eggs, the combo was GREAT. & # 10; I did half with mushroom/ green onion for those at the shower that didn' t want bacon and those were yummy too! & # 10; & # 10; This will DEFINITELY be made again!

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and mushrooms; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Push onion mixture to the side of the skillet, and place the butter in the center of the skillet. Add calf' s liver, one slice at a time.

Cover and cook until lightly browned, flipping liver slices once, 5 to 6 minutes. Cut liver slices in half. Whisk together flour, water, and beef bouillon in a bowl until combined. Pour mixture into the skillet; cook and stir until gravy thickens, then add red wine. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Remove from heat and serve.

I managed to make these brownies last night in between the pain.

I went to dental to have some work done because I experienced sudden and kinda intense teeth sensitivity but the work caused a lot of pain in the muscles and tissues in my jaw and cheek. I would often stop mixing and sit and on the kitchen floor and rock myself until the pain would pass. . . pretty dramatic but true.

At least the sensitivity is gone and what I feel now will pass soon too.

Boil unpeeled potato until soft. Let cool slightly then peel and mash. Stir in confectioners' sugar into the mashed potato and mix until stiff. On a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap roll out potato mixture into 1/ 4 inch thick rectangle.

Spread peanut butter over entire area ( adjust thickness to suit taste) . Roll up jellyroll- fashion wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for few hours. Cut into slices to serve.
