POM WONDERFUL . . . is Wonderful!

A little while ago, I received a package on my front porch.  I was very excited to say the least, because I was looking forward to this package.  It was from a Company called POM WONDERFUL. They sent me an entire case of the cutest little bottles you ever did see!  I had received an email from Pom Wonderful,…

Meg - Oh goodness! My husband would absolutely love this! He totally fell in love with huckleberry pie and shakes when we visited Glacier Park last year. Too bad we don’t get huckleberries in Minnesota :-( June 25, 2011 – 8:10 pm

THE BEST GREEN BEANS ….you’ll ever eat

Have you had scrumptious green beans lately? I’m not talking about beans from a can!  You need to make this vegetable side dish for your next Holiday dinner. I first tried these during Thanksgiving dinner last year.  My sister in Law Leslie, brought these to our dinner table.  I knew I would be making them for my family this…

Jonna - You might possibly make the sauce, and toss it with the canned green beans. They would still taste good with the Bacon and that yummy sauce. Part of what makes these beans so delicious though, is cooking the green beans with the sauce and the bacon. Let me know how they turn out.June 7, 2010 – 11:40 am

Stephanie - I was going to make these tonight, but the green beans I bought went bad! Can I make this with canned green beans?June 6, 2010 – 2:45 pm

Most of you have probably already made this recipe. For those of you who haven’t, you’re missing out. This is a fancy salad or a delicious dessert…..you decide. Whatever it is, it’s perfect! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love it. Some times, I make Raspberry Danish Pudding Dessert instead of the jello.  You can…

Jonna - Hi Carina,
I added it to the directions – Sorry about that. Mix the drained pineapple in with the whipped Cream Cheese/sugar mixture. I often omit this, since several of my kids don’t care for pineapple!March 30, 2011 – 10:10 am

Carina - At what point do you add the optional crushed pineapple? Into the jello with the raspberries?
Excited to try it!March 29, 2011 – 11:49 pm

SLOW COOKED TURKEY BREASTS

Turkey is so easy and delicious to prepare in a slow Cooker. I usually prepare it this way for Thanksgiving Day Dinner and several other times during the year. The Turkey is never dry, and you end up with fabulous stock for the perfect gravy.   If your ovens are over loaded during the holidays…

Jonna - Hi Siri,
I actually use Canadian Steak seasoning. I also use this on our Christmas Eve Prime Rib…I use it in a lot of things. I buy mine at Sams Club.
I would also use the low setting on your slow cooker. You will need at least the same amount of time you use for a roast, 4 to 6 hours,
I really don’t time it, I just know it’s done, when it falls off the bone, and is very tender!
Happy Thanksgiving,
JonnaNovember 23, 2011 – 7:07 am

Siri - Hi Jonna,
Do you use Canadian Steak or Canadian Chicken seasoning? I can’t seem to find just a Canadian Seasoning. I would assume chicken since it’s poultry… Oh, and if my slow cooker only has a high and low setting, which would you recommend cooking it on? And about how many hours do you usually cook yours?

Thanks!

Jonna - Hi aubri,
That would depend on your slow cooker. I have 3, and each one of them heats differently.
I would give it at least 30 minutes to reheat, but make sure that it’s still in all the juices.
Once it’s all heated up again, I strain the juices, and use it to make the gravy.
I simply mix cornstarch and cold water together to thicken the juices, and season it with salt, pepper and any other
seasonings you might like in your gravy. Yum!
*If you use cornstarch & Cold water, read the side of your cornstarch box and it will tell you measurements needed.
I just guess!

Happy Thanksgiving,
JonnaNovember 15, 2011 – 6:46 pm

aubri - How long does it take to reheat? Do you have a gravy recipe?November 14, 2011 – 10:46 am

Jonna - Hi Phyllis,

The brand I use, is TONE’S. I’m sure that other ones would work just as well.
Oh…I think I need to cook a turkey!

Phyllis - Jonna, luv your site. I want to try the turkey breast. I’m not sure what canadian seasoning is. I “googled” it & found different brands. Is there a certain brand you use? Thanks!!September 30, 2011 – 5:27 am

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE with COCONUT, PECAN FROSTING

This is by far, our families favorite Cake. This cake is super simple, and the frosting is delicious. In fact, I could eat the entire pan of frosting…..all by myself. You can make it fancy, by using 3 round cake pans, and layering frosting in between, or make it easy, by putting the cake in…

CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL CHEWIES

Yesterday, I picked up my purse and grabbed for my checkbook.  The bills needed paid promptly.  I couldn’t help but notice the weight of that overloaded “catch-all.”  After the weight of the bills were off my shoulders, I flung my purse over one of those same shoulders, and literally gasped!  It was time for….a clean…
