Yummy Recipe Wednesday – Stringed Beef Ropa Vieja

01/26/2011 by Sandra CraftyMom Leave a Comment

My grandma used to make this often for us. My mom didn’t make it so often as she didn’t like to cook much, she only cooks when she needs to. Lately all she cooks is healthy for you, like egg whites, seaweed and other things that she blabs about constantly but can’t remember now. (sorry mom I do love you)

Stringed Beef (Ropa Vieja)

String the beef. Slice onions and green pepper. Crush garlic and fy in hot oil with onion. Add green pepper and fry a little more. Add remaining ingredients, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. The red pepper may be added now or used to decorate. Serve with rice or salad.

Serves 8 but in our home it serves 4 with a little left over 🙂

Bringing Out The Flavor with TABASCO® Original Red

01/12/2011 by Sandra CraftyMom Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

During the holiday we had family and friends over for some Meat and Potatoes with white rice. Wouldn’t be a complete meal without our favorite sauce TABASCO® Original Red

We all love it with bit of TABASCO® Original Red added, it has a special way of bringing out the awesome flavor of foods. Brings out the best taste in every bite yum.

The recipe for this tasty dish is:

Ingredients:

2 lbs. beef

1/2 cup oil

1 tbs salt

1 tbs paprika

1/2 tsp pepper

1 bay leaf

1 tsp TABASCO® Original Red

1 onion

3 cloves garlic

1nbsp; green pepper

1 can tomato sauce

1 cup dry sherry

1 cup water

2 lbs. potatoes

1 cup capers (optional)

Cut the meat into small cubes and brown lightly in hot oil. Add the salt, paprika, pepper, bay leaf, diced onion, crushed garlic and diced green pepper. When this begins to brown pour in the tomato sauce, wine, water and TABASCO® Original Red. When meat is half cooked, add diced potatoes and the capers. Allow to cook until meat and potatoes are tender. If necessary a little more water or wine may be added. Serves 6-8.

Our family loves to add a dash of TABASCO® Original Red to our pizza, which we make at home. We add pepperoni, our favorite cheese and our favorite Tabasco Original Red to bring out the flavor to the max.

Our Family Conversation During Dinner

12/15/2009 by Sandra CraftyMom 4 Comments

Last night we had a very interesting topic, it was about our meal planning. I am not sure how it got started but we decided as a family to have.

Taco Night – Friday

Stir Fry Night

Left Over Night

Salad Night

Cuban Night –

New Recipe Night

Breakfast Night

The only night that has been decided is Taco Night, which we have been doing since before Thanksgiving. It is working great, we all love it and know wheat to expect that night for dinner.

The rest of the ideas will have to be worked in over time. I think this was a great conversation and I do hope we have more like these.
