ripe haas avocado, tomatoes diced, diced red onion, key limes or 1 lime, chopped cilantro, coarse black pepper, kosher salt - to taste, red chili flakes - to taste, this salad is mostly done to taste that s why the varied numbers of ingredients. some people like a strong lime and cilantro flavor while others like more avocados. this is only meant for a general reference so play around with the recipe and enjoy. 1 spin off is to add some lemongrass paste to the lime juice for a extra kick

carrots, peeled and chunked (i usually buy the peeled baby carrots for convenience, and you could do that, but, i wanted large chunks), rigs celery , chunked, yellow onion, large diced, tub fresh mushrooms, quartered (i actually bought the larger mushrooms that you indivdually bag, and eyeballed it to match the amount in the tubs), red pepper, chopped large, margarine, chicken or veg stock, kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, veg-it seasoning (i think ms. dash would work, too), worcestershire, lea & perrins chicken marinade, splash or two of dry white wine, cream of selery soup, handful grated parmesan, pepperidge farm stuffing mix

butter, vegetable oil, white sugar, brown sugar, egg, crushed corn flakes, chopped nuts (i use walnuts or pecans), quick-cooking oatmeal, flour , decrease to 3 1/2 cups for a chewier cookie, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract

i use a 3 1/2 to 4 lb chuck roast, well marbelized with fat, and if you can find a bone-in roast, that s better yet (but it s almost always boneless chuck that you find at the grocer). i like to quickly rinse the roast in cold water just before i lay it on the cutting board to coat it with seasoned flour. place the following ingredients in a small baggie and shake the closed bag to mix it up, flour, salt, garlic salt, crazy mixed-up salt (if you can tsp get this seasoning, use seasoned salt instead, but jane s is by far the best), pepper, use your hands to generously pat the seasoned flour into the roast, on both sides, flipping the roast a couple times and repeating the process., in a dutch oven or roasting pan large enough to hold the roast, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat - you want your pan and oil to be hot enough to sear the roast well when you put it in the pan. when the oil is just about to the smoking point, put the roast in and cover the pan. let the meat sear until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip the roast. let it sear for a minute or two on the second side, then add, beef stock (i much prefer the boxed stock to the canned broth - it just seems to give the gravy a much richer taste in the end), cover the roasting pan and place it in a pre-heated 300 degree oven. roast for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is fork tender and falls apart easily. i check the roast each hour, quickly opening the lid, just to make sure the stock has not evaporated. as long as your pan has a good seal on it, this shouldn tsp happen. but if necessary, add more stock to the pan., an hour before the roast is done , prepare the mashed potatoes. peel 6 large red potatoes (these work better - at least for me - because they are much moister than the russets, so the mashed potatoes are creamier); cut into 1/4th, and place them in a large saucepan - rinse the cut potatoes 2 times in cold water, then cover them in fresh cold water and place the pan over medium high heat; boil until tender. this is usually about 30 minutes, but it depends on the size of your cuts, so just cook them until you can easily insert a fork into a potato. drain potatoes well, reserving 1 cup of the water for the gravy. add the following to the hot potatoes, butter, sour cream, milk, salt, crazy mixed up salt (use regular salt or garlic salt if jane s salt is not available), pepper, i use a hand masher , but you can use an electric mixer or however you chose to mash the potatoes into a creamy yet firm texture. add more milk if potatoes are too stiff. place the mashed potatoes in a buttered casserole dish, cover with foil, and place in the oven to keep warm while you make the gravy., prepare the gravy, melt 2 tbsp butter, stir in 1/4 cup flour to make a paste, stir in enough beef stock to thin the paste enough to pour., finished roast from the pan and place it on a plate; cover meat with foil to keep warm., place the roasting pan over a medium flame and bring the liquid to a gentle boil (i usually seem to have about 1 1/2 to 2 cups liquid in the pan when the roast is done - if you have less, just use the beef stock to increase your liquid)., use a whisk to gradually whisk in the butter/flour/stock liquid., add 2 tbsp beef base - i use tone s (i prefer beef base to buillon - has a richer flavor and is really worth having on hand, but if you can tsp find this, try knorr s beef buillon extra large cubes), add the 1 cup of reserved potato water, add 1/2 cup beef stock, taste the gravy and see if you want more seasoning. i usually find i don tsp need to add anything at this point, since i have the seasoning from the flour coating and the stock and the beef base. if you think you need more seasoning, add salt and pepper to your taste. beef base will also give you more saltiness., keep the gravy warm while you uncover the meat and use 2 forks to pull the meat apart into small to medium chunks., you are now ready to assemble...

trifle may be a holiday tradition for many families, but it is more about the tradition than the flavor of the thing. most trifles are a gloppy mass of soggy cake, grainy custard, watery fruit, and strong booze. we love the flavors, but wanted something better than that. starting with a classic southern rendition of trifle called tipsy squire, we set out to make a trifle that tasted as good as it looked. here s what we discovered, test kitchen discoveries, stale sponge cake works better than fresh because it absorbs the liquid without turning mushy. allow the cake to sit unwrapped overnight on the counter or expedite the process by baking the cake at 200 degrees for three hours., make a quick and light custard stabilized with cornstarch., use jam , not fresh fruit, for a deep fruit flavor without a watery texture., top the trifle with small almond macaroons for their flavor and crisp texture.
