Cream Cheese Pie

Denis Martel — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 15:32:50 +0000

Talk about easy to make. You can use raspberries or blueberries instead of the strawberries. I would personally NEVER use fruit from a pie preparation (like Sheriff for example). For me, this would be a sacrilege. Yeurk!!!

Ingredients:

One can of Eagle Brand milk
250 gr of cream cheese
75 ml lemon juice
2 ml vanilla
One pie crust already baked (or a cooked Graham crumps crust)
One pack of frozen strawberries, thawed
5 ml corn starch diluted with a bit of water

Method:

Mix the first four ingredients together and pour the batter into the baked crust
Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least two hours
In a sauce pan, heat the strawberries until the juice begins to boil
Add the corn starch and mix well
When cooled, pour the fruits over the pie

The sauce of this recipe is very good with white rice.

1/4 can of milk
250 ml grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Salt and pepper to taste

Cover with the cheese and bake at 325⁰ F for 25 minutes

Spare Ribs (1)

Denis Martel — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 14:00:39 +0000

I find that the ribs taste much better when we take the time to remove as much fat as possible before baking them. I hate to chew on a piece of fat.

Ingredients:

1.5 kg baby back ribs with fat removed
Water
2 large onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
15 ml butter
125 ml vinegar
125 ml water
60 ml Chili sauce
30 ml lemon juice
30 ml Worcestershire sauce
7 ml salt
5 ml powder mustard

Method:

Cut the ribs in a portion of about 3 or 4 ribs
Place the ribs in a large pot and cover with water
Boil the ribs for about 45 minutes
During that time, cook the onion and garlic in butter for 5 minutes
Add the other ingredients and cook for another 10 minutes
When the ribs are cooked, drain and transfer to a large baking dish.
Cover with the sauce and cook for one hour at 300⁰F

Pork Chops with BBQ Sauce

Denis Martel — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 13:55:49 +0000

My mom used to make these pork chops. They bring back great memories and not so great ones. Because I keep my cooking oil in an old soap dish bottle, one day, I used the wrong bottle and cooked the chops in dish soap! Now you know that I can make a gross mistake when I am cooking.

I am not perfect but please don’ tell Cheryl!

30 ml oil or butter
6 pork chops, about 2 cm thick
One chopped onion
30 ml brown sugar
50 ml lemon juice
30 ml Worcestershire sauce
250 ml water
39 ml white vinegar
200 ml ketchup
2 ml dry mustard powder
Salt and pepper

Method:

Brown pork chops in oil (2 or 3 minutes each side)
Place chops in a baking dish
Mix all other ingredients and pour over the chops
Bake at 350⁰ F for about one hour
