Here is a terrific way to save on Produce and eat more alkaline foods, I think we all know we don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, Besides, they are soooo expensive anymore! Tough to justify the expense when you can go buy ribs for .99 cents on sale and tomatoes can be 3.49 a pound! insane. But with a Kangen SD501 and a little creative searching for a wholesale produce market, you'll be eating and enjoying the BEST of the BEST once you refresh and clean in Kangen 9.5 water! A series of 3 video's I did myself, nothing fancy, but you'll get the message.... Enjoy! and have a "WATER FULL" day!

Easter Ham Bone and Beans crock pot style

Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

Today is "Just" about the last of the Easter $11.00 spiral sliced ham as I have the crock pot FILLED to the brim with a wonderful ham bone loaded with meat in a pot of beans, and here is how I do my beans about every other Sunday. Today is with the Ham Bone from Easter Sunday! Hope you like it.

Ham and Beans Slow cooked...

Large Crock Pot, adjust amount of beans depending on your crock pot size.

3 cups dry pinto beans (rinsed in Kangen Water 9.5 pH of course!) NO need to soak beans over night in less you want them to cook faster. I like the home to smell yummy all Sunday.

1 large yellow or white onion cut in half or quarters

4 Bay leafs

Fresh cracked sea salt (any salt will do but I'm hooked on FRESH raw salt)

Healthy dose of Italian seasonings about 3 tablespoons, and don't forget to "rub" them in your hands to release the flavors

Fresh cracked Pepper to taste

1 LARGE garlic pod, just remove the excess paper and use it hole, it's for flavor

1 LARGE can of any tomatoes you have, stewed or chopped, doesn't really matter as they get cooked down pretty good after about 8 hours in the pot.

So, pretty simple, after you've rinsed your beans to remove any rocks and "Ugly" beans, cover them with about 3 inches of "Kangen Water" if you have it, and if not visit www.KangenFlows.com and get the DVD, once you start cooking with Kangen Water you'll NEVER and I mean NEVER cook or drink with anything else!
Put your Ham Bone in the middle, and sort of nestle it into the pot, add all the rest of the ingredients, Bay Leaf, Salt, Pepper, Onion's, Garlic, Tomatoes put the lid on, turn up to "HIGH" on the pot for at least 1 hour to get it hot and going, and then I just turn my dial to "Auto" and let it do it's magic till beans are tender. Usually about 7-8 hours. I seem to start my beans on Sunday as soon as I get out of bed 7-8 and we are eatting them with some yummy corn bread by 4 or 5 that afternoon!

I'd like to personally thank the Pork association of America (is that right?) for keeping the price of a spiral sliced pork ham as reasonable as it is. We (my son and I) have been enjoy ham sandwiches, ham and eggs, and I'll attempt to do a potatoe and ham scollop dish this afternoon if I'm up to it, if not? It'll be there for tomorrow... What a great value Ham is!

Simple homemade Tortilia chips/nachos in a snap!

Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

Quick snack when your out of ideas or items? PERFECT, bet you have some flour/corn tortillas! Here you go, simple and so delicious I wish more restaurants would serve these. My 15 year old swears by these and I'm sure you will too! Most of us think of Chips being made of only corn tortillias, and corn is actually my favorite? Well it depends, but when I have a craving for "Chips" al'a espano'l then corn or flour doesn't matter to me, and honestly, FLOUR is much more filling! So try making with flour for a change.

Quite simply, "Flour" tortillas, How ever many you have or want to cook up.

Cut into 1/4 or 1/8 if they are the JUMBO burrito size.

LARGE pan, use ONLY Lard/Crisco type, about 2 huge spoonfuls into the fry pan.

Heat on Med/High (don't let it smoke or it's too hot!)

I put 4-5 cut flour torts in and turn to golden brown on all sides remove onto a paper towel plate, and here is the "Kicker"

ONLY use Fresh ground Sea Salt! not too much but enough for that salt craving, and OH by the way SALT is a good thing for your body, without it, you'll die!

Serve up with any salsa or eat just with the salt. I usually make a pot of beans at least once a week, very cost effective during these interesting financial times, and they go a long way. It's fun and delicious to take the now flour tort chips and put in a pie tin, add a couple spoonfuls of the refrigerated beans, grade some "Sharp" cheddar cheese, and pop into the oven/toaster oven on broil for just a few short 2-3 hot minutes. Viola'! dinamite home made nacho's, add some chopped jalipino's if you like, make some fun guicaamoli and enjoy!

Pork Chops in Green Enchalada Sauce

Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

One thing that I've always enjoyed is to find a bargain! Quality, but never have to pay retail if possible. Such bargains are available everywhere if you'll only look.

Last weekend I found myself at a garage sale and purchased a very nice G/E refrigerator for the garage. I'd been desiring one for the last 18 months in my new lake front home, and while they can be found most any weekend, it's important to make sure you're not buying someone elses problem. Here is Arizona it's obviously very HOT in the summers and we cook out doors quite a bit, so an extra fridge is very useful for storing the bargain meats from the market. One such Bargain I recently found where Pork Chops. Large, thick and 99 cents a pound. I bought 5 lbs which was about 12 of these baby's. I froze them 3 to a zipper lock bag so as to use at my pork chop desire!

Here's a very simple idea sure to please. Thaw out those frozen pork chops. (I like the ones with the bone in)

In a large skillet, brown both sides, salt and pepper.

2 tbls. Olive Oil.
2 cups of chicken stock (I make it with Kangen H20 and Knors chicken bullion)
3-6 medium sized Potatoes, scrubbed with the skins left on and cut into large chunks.
1 large can of Green enchilada salsa
1 medium onion cut into large chunks and sauteed in the same pan as the pork chop.
1 small can of chopped green peppers.
couple of Bay Leafs, little oregano, and let it simmer.

Simply saute the Pork Shops in the Olive Oil, both sides. Saute the onion. Add chicken stock to a crock pot, the sauteed pork chops, the sauteed onion, add the large can of green enchilada salsa and potatoes. Make sure to cover the chops and potatoes with enough extra chicken broth. Put the cover on and crock pot on high till meat is tender, about 4 hours.

Serve in a bowl with some fresh warmed flower tortillas, or roll up for a burro, Yummy

Produce Tip ~ Save BIG Money TOO!

Almost every week I try and head over to our local produce market called "Superstition Ranch Market" in Mesa AZ on Main St. just east of Greenfield.
Now if you've never bought Number 2 produce well you're missing out on a great opportunity to get more bang for the buck, and I mean MAJOR discounts! Such as...
Large Hot House tomatoes 3lbs for a $1.00! (Usually up to $2.99 a lb.)
Green Onions 4 for a $1.00
Red Bell Peppers 4 for a $1.00
Cucumbers LARGE 4 for $1.00
Fresh Pineapple 2 for $3.00
Fresh Black Berry's 2 for $1.00 and the list is endless, but that is just a partial list from memorie of what I bought yesterday morning.

Now the trick is to either eat it all in a very short time as it is number 2's or the seconds and the shelf life is just about gone. BUT I have a terrific solutions to that problem as I did it yesterday, I'm only sorry I didn't photograph the before and after, but will on my next trip.

SOAK and clean all your veggies in Kangen 11.5 Water! It's absolutely unbelievable the way every thing will perk up, open up and be given a newness just like the day it was picked!
AND, by washing/soaking all your fruits and vegetables in the KangenWaterMagic of 11.5 you're also eliminating all the oil based pesticides, and such, hence creating almost an organic piece of produce.

Years back when I was growing up in the 1960's we brought home produce and washed everything because of those chemicals that where just starting to be used, and our water then was completely different then for sure, but today the ground water is so polluted by all the fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides etc. etc. that to take it home and run our polluted water over the oil based chemicals sprayed on the produce is a total waste of time and water too for that matter.
Hope this helps and if you don't yet have your SD501 KangenWater Ionized water generator, "What are you Waiting For"?

Spices of LIFE must haves for all

The following is a list of what I consider to be Mandatory spices for any kitchen that wants to prepare quick and simple as well as complicated and Long recipes . But then it is so much fun once you always have the "KEY" ingredients. And that is the KEY" to have the necessary ingredients not only with spices but tools. So for now, enjoy, print write down or what ever and get prepared for some serious and FUN ideas.

I'm certain I will no doubt miss a couple and when I do or you reply with your favorite seasoning and or spice, I can update this post and add it as well as give YOU big thanks.

Lets get started with a cabinet filled with all the best seasonings that can take any expensive or "ON SALE" inexpensive piece of meat/fish/poultry and turn it into a meal fit for royalty!

Spices and Seasonings> In no particular order, but what I consider
"MY MUST HAVE's"

1> PEPPER! BLACK and WHITE if you can afford both, otherwise good ol' Black pepper. Hay pepper, if this is the only thing you have, life is better than before, but, in a perfect world, have a simple ground pepper as well as always, always some type of a Pepper grinder with ...
2> Whole Pepper, not only to grind, but is terrific when making stews etc. as the pepper corns really seep into stews much more powerful than just ground pepper.
3> SALT, dugh, but make sure that you have ionized salt in general, if you really want to have healthy salt then get a Salt grinder as well as a Pepper Grinder, and enjoy whole corse salt, seasalt or any other varties that can cost a HUGE chunk of change, but you'll never really appreciate Salt in till you experiment with Salts like experimenting with wine!
4> OREGENGO, for me is a MUST have, or a blend of Italian Seasoning, use it in almost everything from Stews, Soups, Pasta, Chicken and all Mexican as well as Italian dishes
5> GARLIC! I stock garlic Powder, garlic salt, Chopped Garlic, Whole Fresh Garlic, as well as garlic is a tube. Don't worry about NOT having all kinds, if you have only one choice at the beginning of your pantry, I'd suggest Garlic Powder, and build and add the rest as you can!
I think from these first 5 ingredients you have a solid base and can make most any dish BETTER, just use them is the trick!

SEE I just remembered "BAY LEAF" this is one of my top 10 must have indeed!

USE ALOT, MUST haves...

6> Thyme I'm a huge friend of, Claim Chowder, seafood, Italian dishes
7> ROSMARY, wow what would a Roasted Chicken be with out Rosmary... Boring!
8> Chili Powder, Now understand that there are many forms of "chili" Power, Cheyenne, Red Chili they all have a different zip! But make sure you have at least one dried in the cupboard.
9> Ground Cummin, goes along with all the chilli dishes, Use it and change any spiecy dish!
10> Gound CINNAMON! MY hero is cinnamon, Breakfest Meals, Stews, and COFFEE to be sure, cinnamon is a MUST have.
11> BOUILLION in Chicken/Beef/ or Vegtable depending on what you cook most. I also use alot of Tomato Chicken bouillion for gravy's, stews, soups etc.

So that is my LIST for the moment about simple seasoning for an oportunity to season a menu or dish of simple "Steak, Chicken, Pork, Lamb" or Vegteable as well.

NOW, I'd like to just run through a list of OTHER must have for the seasoning panty in no particular order, but are MUST HAVES for cooking of all sorts including baking and working with most any recipe!

1> Olive OIL need I say more?

2> Baking Soda

3> Baking Powerder

4> Corn Starch (to thicken and make graveys! MORE on this subject later)

5> Powdered Sugar

6> Brown Sugar

7> Granulated sugar

8> FLOUR

9> Long Grain Rice

10> Pinto Beans

As a general rule you can do most anything with the list I've just outlined, and from that list I want to STOP for today.... The next post will be a Inexpensive Seasoning TIP !

Thanks for paying attention to this first Blog, make you're list, and next bogg will have my personal opinion of HOW to SAVE money and build on these basics.

Have a Waterful Time shopping and Stocking and creating you NEW seasoning Pantry! MUCH more to come so PLEASE subsciribe :)

Cleaning out my spice Pantry

Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

Well Hello WORLD,
I've been contemplating something for several years now today as I was rearranging cleaning my spice cupboard it occured to me to start this blog. I hope you will find it FUN and useful.

In the past as I've been in MANY, MANY homes of ladies due to a different in home business I've been involved with. One universal thing I noticed was that 'MOST' not all, but most have little or less than adequate Pantries to support what everyone usually needs wants and desires, which is to invite friends and such over for a party, ball game event or whatever! HENCE I've been moved to start this blog in hopes that it helps you in some ideas for a more "efficient Kitchen and also lifestyle.
I'll be a BIG bit honest, I'm not some expert, Just you're humble host, my writing skills perhaps shallow, when I should use a verb instead of a noun and visa verse. But NO Matter! The Joy is in the Passion as we have some fun together!
I strongly recommend that if you have a "Cooking, design, gathering, whatever question" that you post it here, and hopefully, I'll be paying attention or it will come to my e-mail and I can give you my 2cents worth! I'm excellent at being on the outside looking in. And maybe it's nice to have an unbiased friend to advise you as well.
NO matter, enjoy, have fun, stock your pantry and spice shelf as I have done and you will NEVER be alone or unprepared.

Have a Waterful Day,
Laurel
P.S. I use only www.KangenWaterMagic.com Enagic's SD 501 unit to cook, and prepare my foods. You will too once you watch the DVD and it makes sense to you. . .
