Answer 1

Sirniki (Russian Cheese Pancakes)
These Russian Fried Cheese Pancakes (Patties), prounounced SEER-ni-kee, are delicious served hot out of the pan – the outsides still crispy, the insides creamy… They are very easy, and the dough can be made ahead. Sirniki are usually served as a brunch or breakfast dish, or as a dessert, with sour cream or jam. Some like both!
1 lb farmer cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour, plus
extra flour, for dipping
2 tablespoons butter, approx
sour cream or jam, for serving
3-4 servings

1. In a food processor, pulse the farmer’s cheese until it is uniformly crumpled. Add the eggs, sugar, salt, and ½ cup of flour. Pulse or mix to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour, or even overnight. The dough will remain thick but sticky.
2. Put approximately 1/3 cup of flour into a bowl, and use this to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Using 2 teaspoons, drop 1½” balls of dough into the flour, roll them round, and flatten to about 3/8” thick. Place them on a plate in a single layer until all the patties are all formed.
3. Heat a frying pan with 1 T. butter, and fry the patties on each side until golden. You will need to add more butter as you go.
4. Serve hot with sour cream and/or jam. This recipe will make approximately 20 small patties.
5. NOTE: Farmer Cheese is usually found near the cream cheese; my store sells Friendship brand. These days, the packages are just under 1/2 pound (don't you hate this incremental downsizing?), and 2 packages will work fine.
6. About the Times, Prep time is mostly frying time, and Passive time is the chilling time.

Cuisine: Russian

1 head of cabbage (small to medium)
1 onion (medium)
4 large eggs (hard boiled)
1 lb (or 500g) ground beef
Salt
Other spices

Crust:
-If you live in countries where a ready pie crust is sold in supermarkets, get 2 9-inch round crusts (any brand will work);
-If you have to make the crust yourself, here are the ingredients for the dough:
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of sugar (regular or powedered)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of solid vegetable shorteninng OR 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening and 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter OR 1 cup of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of ice cold water
*Note: If some of the units or abbreviations look unfamiliar to you, click here.

• Method
Filling:
Finely cut the cabbage and onion; heat up a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil; when it is hot add chopped onion; satee the onion until golden brown; then add cabbage and cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until golden in color and soft in consistency. Simulatenously, in a separate skillet satee the ground beef; cook it for 5-10 minutes or until the meat is of consistent brown color and there is no redness. Boil the eggs. When everything is ready, mix the cabbage, meat, and chopped eggs together; add salt and/or other spices. Your filling is ready!

Crust:
If you are making your own dough:
In a large bowl thoroughly mix together flour, salt, and sugar. Then add shortening (broken in large chunks) or butter (cut into small pieces). Begin chopping the fat/butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives. When you are done, the mixture should be of coarse consistency; dry and powdery. Then drizzle over the mixture 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon of ice cold water. Begin mixing the dough with a spatula until the mixture looks evenly moistened and begins to form small balls. Press down on the dough with the flat side spatula. If the balls of dough stick together, you have added enough water; if the do not, drizzle the dough with 1 to 2 tablespoons of ice cold water. Continue to mix the dough first with the spatula, then with your hands until it coheres. The dough should look rough, not smooth. Divide the dough in half; press each half into a round flat disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling. The dough can be frozen for up to 6 month in an airtight packaging (Thaw completely before rolling).

When your dough is ready to roll, roll out 2 9-inch (~22cm) rounds. Place one crust on the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan; press the dough over the bottom and into the corners of the pan. Transfer the filling into the pan; smoothen the top. Place the second crust on top and seal the sides. The dough should not hang over the sides of the pan too much, otherwise it will char; you can either cut the excess dough with a knife, or fold it inside the pan. Before baking, cut 4 ventilation holes on the top crust of your pie. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 350F (175C) for 20-30 minutes or untill golden. When done, let the pie sit out for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm. Great with milk. Enjoy!!!

Answer 2

Here is one of my favs (you've gotta love anything you can make in a crock pot)
Barbecued Pork
2 1/2 pork tenderloin, cut into large chunks, if necessary
rub with salt, pepper, & chicken grill seasoning
brown outside
place in crockpot with the following ingredients: 1 onion, chopped;1 clove garlic, minced; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; 1/2 cup ketchup; 1/2 cup white wine; 1 cup barbeque sauce ( I strongly recommend Sweet Baby Rays); 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Cook on high 3 - 4 hours or low 6 - 8 hours, until the meat shreds

Here's a REALLY fast one:
Honey Pecan Pork Chops
1 1/4 pounds boneless pork loin, pounded thin
1/2 cup all-purpose flour for coating
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped pecans
splash of soy sauce
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge pork cutlets in the flour mixture. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chops, and brown both sides. Transfer to a warm plate. Mix honey, pecans, and soy sauce into the pan drippings. Heat through, stirring constantly. Do not heat too long or the sauce will harden. Pour sauce over cutlets.

Answer 3

Want something simple? Throw the chicken in an olive oil, or your favorite oil, covered pan sautee until fully cooked. Remove the chicken then put a little more oil in pan and sautee some of your favorite chopped veggies (carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, etc.). When veggies are done (you don't want them too soft because then all the vitamins will be gone, semi soft is good) Then add two cans of mushroom soup in the pan and heat on low. IMPORTANT: cook this on low so you don't scald the mushroom soup. Stir frequently. When soup is hot add chicken and cook on low for a few minutes. This is good over rice or cooked noodles. Sometimes I even boil noodles on the side and when the pan stuff is finished and the noodles are finished I put the noodles in the pan with the other stuff and mix it all together.
Another easy one:

Preheat oven to 325
Boil your favorite noodles in a pot (I use two packs of ramen noodles, just the noodles not the spice pack, or two 2 1/2 cups of macaroni noodles)
Open two cans of tuna fish, drain and flake with fork
Get a cassarole dish
Layer the noodles and flaked tuna fish- 1/3 of noodles first, then 1/2 of tuna fish (flaked or broke up with fork), cont. layering until finished.
When finished layering crumble up a half of a pack of crackers and sprinkle evenly on top of the noodle, tuna layers.
Put a few drops of butter on top of crackers evenly.
If you like cheese you can put some cheese on top of each layer of noodle and tuna and then sprinkle some on top of the cracker crumbs.
Cook in preheated oven until cheese on top is melted or crackers are slightly brown.
It will be hot so be careful and enjoy.

Answer 5

I just made a really easy beef stroganoff the other night. I used egg noodles, a pound of ground beef, onions and garlic, a half can of beef broth and about a half cup sour cream.
Just boil the noodles, fry the ground beef with the onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle a scant tablespoon of flour over the meat and stir it in, then deglaze the pan with the beef broth. Add the noodles and sour cream, stir, reseason if necessary. Quick and easy- you could have this on the table in 15 minutes!

Answer 6

Brown a pound of hamburger. Drain off the fat. Add two cans of stewed tomatoes. Simmer until most of the juice is gone. Stir in two cans cream corn. When corn is hot it's ready. This is my moms "Easy Goulash" recipe. You can add boiled pasta if you want.

For an outstandingly wonderful chocolate dessert (requires a blender)
Pour 1 1/2 cups of milk into a saucepan and heat to boiling.
Put 2 cups of chocolate chips (16 oz) and 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt in the blender. Pour in the hot milk and blend till smooth. Pour into little bowls or cups and chill in fridge at least 2 hours. We like to put a spoon of strawberry or raspberry or apricot jam in the bottom of our bowls and pour chocolate in on top. Plain or with fruit it's really rich and tasty.
