Our Better Meals

Normal pie crust, blind baked.  Filled with layers of tomatoes, onions, fresh basil, salt and pepper each layer.  We used sliced tomatoes but there was some water.  Next time we will only use the meat of the tomato (no seeds).  On top was 1 cup of cheddar, 1 cup of mozzarella and 3/4 cup greek yogurt.

rubbed them with chili powder, brown sugar, sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.  First food from the smoker.  Hickory chips at 225 for five hours,  Not bad for a smoker newbie!  Deb cooked some Yukon Golds to go with it.

Bought a whole rabbit, butchered it, made stew. The stew started with chunks of rabbit rolled in flour and then browned.  Removed the rabbit and sautéed onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes.  Added a cup of red wine and three cups of water, added back the rabbit and a bay leaf, then simmered for about two and a half hours
