 Pilgerhaus KitchenMy Favorite Recipies For your convenience, click on the Title to go straight to the recipie! Dear visitors, I have developed an egg allergy, which has limited what I can eat drastically. If you have any good recipies that leave out egg in dishes that usually contain egg, please pass them on. I am particularly missing: Homemade chicken and dumplings (I need a new dumpling recipie), ice cream, cake, brownies, see my problem? Soups Hearty Potato Soup
Sandwiches

1 Potato, diced
In 3 cups water, boil potato and onion until potato is tender. Add little smokies and veggies. Add milk, stir. Add potato flakes slowly, until desired consistency is reached. Wait a moment before adding more potato flakes since they expand when moistened. Salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tsp Italian Seasoning. Let simmer 5 minutes. 1 can Beef Broth
Melt butter in saucepan. Add onions, soy sauce and brown sugar. Sautee gently until onions are golden brown and begin to carmelize. Add 1 cup water and reduce. Add beef broth and let simmer 5 minutes. Serve with croutons. from Mom (Sharon Evans) 1 small onion chopped
Fry bacon until crisp, cool and crumble. Fry onion until soft, remove from fat. Combine all ingredients in saucepan, simmer 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 cans chicken broth
Combine carrot, onion and broth in saucepan. Boil covered until carrot and onion are soft. Let cool until no longer boiling, but still hot. Slowly drop beaten eggs into broth, stirring gently. 1 lb beef bones
Place bones, carrot, onion and celery in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for at least one hour. Meanwhile, mix lightly beaten egg with ground beef, bread crumbs and seasoning salt. Make into small, bitesized meatballs. Bake in 350* oven for 20-30 minutes, until done. Strain stock into saucepan. Add tomatoes or tomato sauce to stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Add pasta and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add meatballs, remainder of spices. Turn off heat. Let rest for 3 minutes. Serve hot. I tend to make this a little thinner than a typical risoto, so it is more like soup. Roy and the kids love this with some cheese on top! 1/2 chicken, boiled and deboned 1 package of little smokies OR smoked sausage, sliced one small onion, diced your favorite veggies, carrots, peas, corn, etc. 1 or 2 cups of rice, NOT the minute rice, REAL rice I boil the chicken in LOTS of water and debone it. I usually do this one the weekends so it doesn't take so long during the week. Add the sausage and let cook with the onion and veggies for a bit. I then add at least one and up to two cups of rice. Remember that the rice will absorb the juice. If you add too much rice, you will want to add some water during the cooking. I simmer the whole deal for about 20 minutes to allow the rice to cook and soften. If you cook it too long, the rice will be mushy and fall to pieces. Of course, you will need to season this. I add Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. This is a really easy recipie using ingredients around the kitchen. I refuse to pay $1.50 for a box of stuff that I have at home! You can add various things to this recipe to give your polenta a different flavor. Herbs (I like oregano and parsley), chopped tomatoes, etc. are good choices. If you run out of ideas, grab a box at the store and see what they put in it! You can also fry your polenta after refrigeration. 1/2 cup corn meal
Mix corn meal with cold water in a bowl (this will help give your polenta a smooth consistency. Add corn meal mixture to boiling water. Stir constantly until mixture returns to a boil. Reduce heat. Add salt and cheese, stirring frequently. Your polenta will become VERY thick after 20-30 minutes of simmering. When it becomes very think and gooey, spread it in the bottom of a greased loaf pan. Refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm. You may then slice your polenta. This is a great thing to make the day before! Sushi This is actually pretty easy to make! For the conservative eater, start with plain sushi, then add ingredients you already like (imitation crab meat, carrots, cucumbers, avacado, etc.) Sushi is not all about raw fish. I stole this rice recipe from stickyrice.com. It is exellent and easy. Their website can show you how to roll it if you really need directions on that. Rice Directions 2 cups Raw Rice (use a short or meduim grain, DO NOT USE MINUTE RICE!)
Wash the rice several times until the water is clear. Move to a colander and drain for an hour. Transfer the rice to a heavy pot or electric rice cooker and add the measured water. Make sure there is a tight fitting lid and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat allowing the rice to steam for 15 minutes more with the cover on at all times. Now remove from heat, remove the lid momentarily to stretch a clean tea towel over the pot and replace the cover. Let it remain covered and without heat to finish steaming for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt together in a small saucepan. While stirring, heat the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Set aside the mixture to cool to room temperature. After the rice has steamed properly, take a wooden spatula or spoon and cut and fold the rice. Use a large flat bottomed bowl for this. Put the hot rice into the bowl with the seasoned rice vinegar solution. Mix with the cutting and folding motion. After mixing, fan the rice in order to remove moisture as well as cool it. This should take about 10 minutes. Use within one hour and DO NOT REFRIGERATE. Refrigeration will make the rice impossible to form. from Mom (Sharon Evans) 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

This company offers excellent kitchen items such as a nifty baking stone that I use for this recipie! I highly recommend them. 2 cans of cresent rolls
Preheat oven to 375. Spread cresent rolls out on pan or baking stone so it makes a large square. Mash edges of perforation together so it is one piece. Mix all remaining ingredients and spread down center of cresent rolls. Cut slits in the sides of the rolls and twist while bringing to the top and center. Bake in oven until golden brown and crust is done. (The braiding process of this dish drives me MAD. I have taken to doing this in a ring. Begin with 4 triangles of cresent rolls. Make a square with the points facing out. Continue to overlap the rolls until you have a multi-pointed star. Place the filling on the inside and pull the tips of the star in.)
