Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast and a Serious Case of the Blogger Blues!

I’m sending out an SOS to all my faithful readers.This girl is feeling, overwhelmed, underpaid, distracted, and uninspired! I’m in a serious blogger funk!!
 
Life has gotten the better of me the past few months, facilitating my dire case of blogger blues. We have MOVED…again, and no matter which way you slice it, moving sucks!
 
Despite my best efforts, I find myself spent after the feelings of dread and all the preparation and emotional angst that goes with moving to a new city or state.  Months of sorting and packing, saying goodbye to family and friends, changing address and contact information associated with all my business, banking and social networking accounts (which takes for FREAKING ever), moving out day, cleaning the old house, cleaning the new house, moving in day, unpacking box, after box, after box, of our “stuff”, finding new doctors and dentist, and finally, hoping the kids and grandkids that we left behind in Colorado, stay healthy and safe, and that our youngest children assimilate into their new school without too many bumps and bruises, not to mention, finding a good church and new friends.  Whew!
 
Sadly, it’s been months since I spent time in the kitchen creating new recipes. We’ve been in our new home for about three months and every time I cook a meal for the family I think to myself, “I should take a photo and post the recipe tomorrow” and then, I don’t! I just can’t wrap my head around all the work that goes into a blog post while still organizing my new surroundings.
 
As a way to get myself out of the funk, I’m hoping to spend some time at my local farmers markets and then get back to my kitchen for a new round of, At Home with Rebecka food blogging. If I can kick myself into gear, I’d like to start with some fresh California produce and seafood for my first several blog installments.
 

However, today, you’ll be getting one of my all time favorite comfort food recipes, Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast.

It’s easy to make, tastes delicious and is as good as any jumping off point, for my first recipe blog post in California!

Ingredients
  1. 1 jar dried beef (15 slices)
  2. 1/4 butter
  3. 1/4 cup flour
  4. 2 cups milk
  5. 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  6. salt and pepper to taste
  7. 4 slices whole wheat or white toast, buttered
Instructions
  1. Slice 15 rounds of beef into thin strips
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter
  3. Add flour and whisk to make roux, about 1 minute
  4. Add paprika, salt and pepper, blend
  5. Slowly whisk in milk until combined, continue whisking until mixture is thick and bubbly
  6. Evenly distribute over toast, serve immediately
Notes
  1. Dried beef contains a great deal of salt, some recommend cutting the salt by soaking the meat in water prior to use. I prefer not to soak the meat in water to keep the texture sound. In my opinion, milk cuts the salt perfectly, taste before adding more.

Served by my mother when I was a youngster, creamed chipped beef on toast is filled with a mouthful of memories.
 
My dad fondly called it “shit on a shingle”, slang picked up during his Air Force veteran days. Other popular acronyms for Creamed Chipped Beef: “Save Our Souls,” “Save Our Ship,” “Sink Our Ships,””Survivors On Ship,” “Save Our Sailors” “Stop Other Signals” “Sink Or Swim”, “Send Out Sailors”, “Save Our Skins”, and “Send Out Someone” , all derived from the Morse code distress signal (· · · – – – · · ·)

For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bo For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bowl of Alphabet Chicken  Corn Soup.

I like the noodles better than the broth so I make mine, noodle heavy! If you prefer more broth just add another 8 ounces liquid and more seasoning. 
RECIPE:
1 7-ounce package alphabet noodles
16 ounces chicken stock
1 cup chopped roasted chicken breast
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 cup cooked frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons butter

In a medium stock pot, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add bullion cube and stir until dissolved. Add alphabet noodles and stir. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and chicken cubes. Mixture will be thick.

Add butter, salt and pepper. Stir until butter is melted. 

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
ENJOY 😉

Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Bak Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Baked Apples made with canned cinnamon rolls and Orange Soda are DELICIOUS! The soda gives the sauce a beautiful Amber color, the perfect compliment to the tart apples. Just Heavenly! I’ll be making this again!

RECIPE:
3-4 small apples cored and cut in half
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls w icing)
1 cup butter, divided
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounces) canned orange soda

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Grease large cast iron skillet
3. Cut apples in half and remove cores with a melon baller. Open cinnamon rolls and gently unwind until flat, on a pice of waxed paper.
Place another pieces of waxed paper over the dough. Using a rolling pin, gently roll dough so it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into equal squares.
4. Fill each apple with a dollop of butter then lay a piece of dough over the cut side and wrap apple in dough. The dough won’t reach around the entire Apple, this is fine. Place wrapped apples in cast iron pan
5. Melt butter and sugar in a small sauce pan. Add the orange soda and mix to combine. Pour warm mixture over apple dumplings.
6. Cover and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until Golden brown
Drizzle cooked apples with icing and serve warm.
ENJOY!!

I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today u I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today using up pantry items to make Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings. 
 
The recipe calls for crescent rolls but we ate those at Thanksgiving. Good news, I had a can of cinnamon rolls which I think will do the trick! The Recipe also calls for a can of Mountain Dew (TM) soda. I didn’t have that either so I’m substituting Sunkist Orange soda. That should work!? 

Risky?? Naw!

I’m excited because  they already smell divine! Stay tuned for the reveal.

My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this yea My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this year (trees have been in the ground and producing for three years). Sadly, the skins are imperfect this season.
I’m not sure if the tree is still to close to the ground and fruit is picking up dust or if Texas humidity had something to do with the defect? @chefpjcopithorne What’s your expert opinion? 

Despite their imperfections, they will make the most delicious Habanero Meyer Lemon Jelly and Lemon Curd. @lanzijosee Your care package will be sent out with a few jars of both this week. Their not beautiful but they taste amazing! #happycanning #meyerlemon #gardentotable #jelly #lemoncurd
