Sweet N Sour Ribs

Sweet N Sour RibsSweet N Sour Ribs Back

According to the National Pork Board, country style ribs are pork back ribs cut from the sirloin, and are very meaty ribs. They can be served individually or as a rack to eat with knife and fork. My mouth is watering already, as I love love love barbecued ribs! This particular recipe calls for cooking in a slow cooker, but I suppose you could cook the ribs on the barbecue and use the sauce as a wet sauce. Slow cookers are making a resurgence as slow cooker/pressure cooker combos lately. I have an oval shaped slow cooker (we just call it a crock pot), which might be nice for something like this. I’d suggest trimming as much extra fat off as you can, otherwise you may find that your sauce becomes greasy. Whatever the shape of your slow cooker/crock pot, give it a try. It sounds delicious!

Impossible Zucchini Quiche

Impossible Zucchini Quiche Impossible Zucchini Quiche Back

Here we go with another “impossible” recipe. I’m sure the motivation was to challenge home cooks to see if the recipe truly was impossible. Or maybe just being ironic. Was that a thing back then? Also, this lady must have grown or really loved zucchini, because there are countless preparations for it! In this case, I don’t think I would use Velveeta cheese, maybe swiss or even Romano mixed with the parmesan cheese. Continue reading

Real men eat it and it’s yummy! I have always considered quiche to be a labor intensive dish, but it probably isn’t, honestly. With today’s methods, we can quickly grate cheese and shred meats. This particular recipe calls for canned meat, which is even easier if you are on a time budget. Using a premade pie shell, you can put together this quiche rather quickly and the most time will be spent on the baking of it. Enjoy! Continue reading

Zucchini Impossible Quiche

This particular card was wrapped in plastic, so I can assume it was well loved and used. At the very top left corner, just underneath the oven temp, our homemaker wrote something on the plastic, and now I cannot decipher what she wrote. If you can guess, please let us know. The “impossible” dishes arose sometime in the 70s or 80s I think. My mother has three or four pages full of them in her cookbook. I do admit, I haven’t tried any of them for some reason!

The thing about this being *my* website is that I pontificate on my opinions about these recipes, all while sharing factual information, history of types of foods, and educating in a general sense, but if *you* have an opinion, I am entirely open to it! Feel free to comment on these recipes if they sound good, bad or in between, because believe me, I have a limited palate, lol! This particular dish sounds icky to me, as I don’t like cooked cauliflower, broccoli in general, or Swiss cheese. Maybe it sounds delicious to someone else! My notes in italics… Continue reading
