Show notes

However, I've been making lots of food for SNIPA lateley so I thought I would do a show on it. I discuss why you might consider making dog food, why I think it's beneficial, what types of protein to use, what carbs and what else might be added. Also, the results in my own dog's health.

253-Beef Stroganoff-Classic Comfort Food Nov 07, 2014

Show notes

On today's show I discuss a classic dish, Beef Stroganoff. This warming food has a Russian origin but is enjoyed throughout most of Europe and especially in parts of Germany. Made with cheaper cuts of beef and classically infused with sour cream, beef stroganoff is a rich hearty dish usually served over egg noodles. My version uses Worcestershire sauce, fresh and dry Thyme and plenty of garlic. I like beef stock but chicken stock works well too. As far as mushrooms just about any can be used, even canned which are good in this dish, however if served to guests I would most likely use fresh mushrooms.

Show notes

On today's show I discuss my most recent effort to develop a gluten-free corn cake that has the texture of a real pancake minus the gluten. This recipe is a winner, and today I discuss why I really love corn cakes and recipe using cornmeal in general. In the Southern US, and area I am very fond of, cornmeal has a special place in the heart of many.
