How to Plant a Salsa Garden

Many people do not know what Salsa is. Salsa is a type of sauce that comes from Mexico. The ingredients of the sauce include; tomatoes, herbs, peppers, fruits, garlic, and onion. Most people enjoy this sauce as they know of the health benefits that come with the sauce and its ingredients. The ingredients that make up the sauce can be grown at home and that is why we call it the Salsa garden. After the growing and harvesting of the vegetables you will then be able to chop and prepare the sauce. Provided that you have all the ingredients in your kitchen you can easily prepare the Salsa sauce on your own.

The type of Salsa that you like
Remember that it is going to be your own garden so you have a choice of deciding what to grow. You will need to grow the ingredients that you would like to find in your Salsa sauce. If you like all the ingredients of the Salsa source then you may as well include all the ingredients in your garden. It is important that you carryout some research in your spare time and find out about the ingredients that can be found in the Salsa sauce and how you can best grow these at home.

The location of your garden
Spotting a place in which to put the garden is very important when it comes to the best results in growing of the Salsa ingredients. You have to chose an area in your yard that gets at least 6 hours or more of sunlight. The tomatoes and pepper love a lot of sunlight and certainly this has to be your main priority when it comes to selecting the spot where you are going to plant the plants. The Salsa garden requires more sunlight and this is important.

The size of your garden
The size of the garden is very important as it gives you a reflection of the amount of time that you are going to spend taking care of the garden. The 4 ft. x 4 ft garden is the perfect garden as this is one that provides enough supply for your kitchen and at the same time is easy to manage.

Soil
These plants grow best in soils that are loose and provide good water drainage. If you do not have this type of soil then you may be able to buy garden soil and use it to grow the Salsa ingredients. There are quite a number of garden soils that are sold and you can get these at the best price.

The Salsa garden will need to be cared for in the long run and you need to make sure that it is free from pests and diseases. The organic way is the best way to deal with the Salsa garden. You will have to make a compost and mulch the garden often so as to make sure the solid maintains its nutrient levels.

Certain Hair Loss Causes Can Be Solved With Simple, Affordable Remedies

In this day and age most of us do not have a ton of money to go spending on the latest treatment for thinning hair. If you take a look at what many of those clinics are charging for such things as hair transplants, you can quickly see why so many people are tolerating a bald head.

You can end up spending thousands and hundreds of dollars on something that just might not work to regrow your hair. Before you do that though, consider the use of natural remedies to boost hair growth. They are not just affordable solutions for those who do not want to chunk out a lot of their money. They are also useful and effective means of preventing and treating hair loss when done correctly.

For instance garlic cloves and onion cloves are very cheap food ingredients that contain the mineral sulphur. Sulphur is a very good mineral for increasing the growth of your hair. All you have to do is take a clove of either garlic or onion, chop it in half, and rub the pulps of the two onto your scalp.

This will send a direct surge of sulphur deep into your hair follicle roots. Most people would shy away from doing this because of the smell, which is why you can also take some coconut milk and use it as a home remedy for your hair.

By adding some chopped garlic to the mixture and rubbing it into the scalp, it will help mask the smell of the garlic. You'll still be able to make a nice hair loss treatment from it that will not cost you a fortune, or make your hair and scalp smell bad.

These Old-Fashion Beef "Birds" Are Made With Round Steak - Try Them Soon!

I am a firm believer in family-style meals at home several times a week for today's busy families. This is a time for family bonding, discussion, and passing on family values to the younger generation. Call me old-fashion but I do believe that a lot of our old-fashion recipes are the best route to go here. They are easy, usually inexpensive, mostly healthy or can be adjusted to be, and they are tasty. This recipe is a perfect example. The ingredients are relatively inexpensive, easy to prepare, and can easily be adjusted to make it more healthy by using lower-fat cheese, canola oil instead of solid shortening, and cutting the amount of salt in half.

OLD FASHIONED BEEF "BIRDS"
This recipe is another from the area where I grew up in Southern Indiana.

1 1/2 lb round steak
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp shortening
1 can condensed consomme
1/2 tsp dry mustard

Cut the steak into 6 serving pieces and pound with a meat mallet or the edge of a saucer.

Chop the mushrooms and mix with the onion and Cheddar cheese. Put 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of each piece of steak; reserve remaining mixture. Roll the beef pieces jellyroll style and fasten with a wooden toothpick. In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the meat rolls in the flour mixture, rolling to cover all sides.

Melt the shortening in a large skillet and brown the meat rolls in the skillet. Pour off the drippings. Combine the consomme and dry mustard; add to the skillet with the steak rolls. Cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes. Add the remaining cheese mixture to skillet and continue to slow cook for another 45 minutes. If desired, thicken the liquid with some cornstarch or flour to make a gravy to serve over the steak rolls.

Enjoy!

How to Use Sandwiches As a Main Course

Sometimes we are in a hurry or it is just too hot to cook. And sometimes, let's face it, we are just too tired to cook. Never fear; sandwiches to the rescue. I'm not talking bologna between two pieces of bread. I'm talking Tuna Salad Pita Pockets which give you tuna, veggies, cheese, and grains all in one handful. The Ham Salad Sandwiches have meat, eggs, and relish. With either sandwich, serve some fresh veggies and or fruit. You will not be cheating your family, they will be getting a decent meal.

TUNA SALAD PITA POCKETS

1 can (9-oz) water-packed tuna, rinsed, drained, flaked
1 cup chopped peeled cucumber
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp chopped green onion
1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 cup alfalfa sprouts
2 whole wheat pita breads, cut in half crosswise

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, cheese, mayonnaise, vinegar, onions, relish, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend the mixture well. Divide the alfalfa sprouts evenly among the pita bread halves. Spoon tuna mixture evenly into the pita halves over the sprouts. Serves 4 at 209 calories, 22 g carbs, 22 g protein per serving making them a perfect sandwich for diabetics as the carbs and proteins are equal.

HAM SALAD SANDWICHES

1 lb lean ham, finely chopped or minced
4 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 cups lite mayonnaise

Chop boiled eggs into small pieces and add to ham. Using a large rubber-type spatula, mix in relish. Add mayonnaise and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve on whole-wheat bread or toast, if desired.

Note: This makes an excellent sandwich spread made with bologna in place of the ham.

Enjoy.

Going the Healthy Gourmet Way at Dinnertime With Alaska Seafood

There is always a certain amount of doubt every time you sit down to a meal in a restaurant. What exactly are you eating? Where did it come from? What type of caloric content is within? As everyone knows, it is a lot easier to cook a tasty meal when you throw the health factor out the window. Classic French fish dishes go heavy on the butter, while Beef Stroganoff is another famous gourmet meal which piles on the calories. Cooking with Alaska's seafood and some quality recipes, however, can allow you to get big flavor and still provide healthy dinners for your family. Try these recipes.

Baked Snapper for two: Get one pound of fresh snapper, one small onion, dill and sour cream. Mix together about a half cup of sour cream, one half teaspoon of ground pepper and one teaspoon of salt. Place the snapper in a baking dish and dust the filets with the sour cream mixture. Add finely diced onion on top and finish with dill. Bake for about 25 minutes at 400 degrees.

Creole Style Halibut: For a taste of old New Orleans, mix up a Creole dish which is healthy and comes in an excellent presentation. You'll make a sauce similar to pasta sauces, using chopped tomatoes with sautéed garlic and onions. Add salt to taste and let this mixture simmer in a saucepan with a bay leaf, adding chopped green peppers after five minutes. This sauce will need another 15 minutes to be finished. Meanwhile, chop filets of halibut into cubes (about 1/3 lb. per person) and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. When the fish is done, pour your sauce on top and enjoy one of the jewels of Alaska's seafood.

Grilled Shrimp on Skewers: When you get some excellent shrimp and approach your grill to make some skewers, it is important to add the right ingredients. Any poor use of vegetables will take away from the shrimp - one of the best examples of Alaska's seafood. Ripe red peppers are perfect for presentation and flavor. In fact, using just red and green peppers to complement the shrimp is a perfect recipe for success. Serve with baked potatoes for a healthy, delicious meal.

Simon's Simon Stew

It was once again our family's turn to work in the church soup kitchen.. Our turn came twice a year. Grandpa said it should have come around only once in two years cause our congregation numbered close to five hundred, and what with all the new babes expected it was soon to rise. He went on to say the church membership exceeded the number of people in our small community. I asked how this could be possible. Grandpa stuck his chest out like a proud peacock and said "Child, that there is cause folks drive for pert near thirty miles every Sunday morning to hear the fired up preaching of our young Pastor Jackson!"

For today, Simon, was the fired up one. A member of our church who considered himself to be "called of the Lord" as Head Chef of the Purdon Community Non-Denominational Church. Simon didn't talk, he yelled. I noticed my head had taken on a heart beat because it throbbed to the beat of every word that proceeded out of Simon's mouth. You see, Simon was injured in a hunting accident a few years back (ever since I could remember) and he was totally deaf. Grandma had instructed me that upon arrival at the church kitchen I was to look straight at Simon, shake my head in agreement while smiling constantly so's Simon would know that I was listening to orders and would carry them out correctly.

Simon's speech was perfect cause his accident happened to him after he was already growed up and had formed his speech pattern. That was what Grandma said. The only thing was, Simon had a base baritone voice. This was mighty revered by our church choir director. However, Simon yelled in the same tone when he spoke to you. This here scared off a lot of folks from volunteering in the soup kitchen. Grandpa said that this was just a covenant excuse for lazy folk. Grandma said I can't discuss this. So, I won't.

I was especially amazed at Simon's talent. He could tell what a person was saying from across the room, or, down the block. He didn't need ears as long as he could see their lips moving. Our neighbor, Ginny, had come along to help. I wondered how he kept from becoming hypnotized by staring at her lips for such long periods of time as they never seemed to pause in their movement. As for me, my cheeks were beginning to ache from the permanent grin fixed on my face when ever Simon did look in my direction. Not to mention my neck and head was feeling like the neck and head of one of them there dogs you see in the back window of some folks car going down the freeway just a bobbing up and down.

I thought about how Simon must be viewing this entire situation. Six people who came to volunteer, namely, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Nelly, Aunt Nita, Ginny, and myself, tripping over each other, bobbing their heads up and down, grinning like they had something to hide, and standing at attention like tin soldiers. I wondered if he might think they picked us up off the street holding one of them there signs "Will work for food." He must be thanking the good Lord that we at least knew how to peel potatoes, chop onions, and slice carrots.

Simon adjusted just fine, even with all of us stepping over each other, not knowing where utensils, or, pot's and pan's were located, besides feeling totally lost in this kitchen. I decided he was right about one thing. A person had to be called of the Lord to do this job. Simon's Simple Stew was a huge hit. There wasn't even one teaspoon leftover. It taste far from simple and still remains one of my all time favorites. Give it a try, you'll have a new favorite too!

Simon's Simple Stew

1 C butter

4 cups onions (peeled, washed, and diced)

½ C. Paprika

4 T. tomato paste

1 tsp. sea salt

½ tsp. black pepper

½ cumin

4 cups beef broth (may used canned)

2 cups V-8 tomato vegetable juice

3 cloves garlic (minced)

3 bay leaves

4 lbs stew meat (washed, drained, and cubed)

½ C vegetable oil

½ C. flour

6 large Irish potatoes (peeled, washed, and cubed)

4 large carrots (peeled, washed, and cut into rounds)

3 stalks celery (wash, take off strings and chop thinly)

1 C frozen corn

1 C frozen peas

IF YOU ARE COOKIN FOR ONLY TWO THIS RECEIPE IS EASILY ADJUSTED. REMEMBER THIS AMOUNT IS FOR A CROWD.

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven; add onion and cook until onions caramelize. Stir in paprika, tomato paste, sea salt, and cumin. Mix well. Add beef broth, V-8 juice, garlic, and bay leaves. Turn heat to med, place lid on top and let cook. Meanwhile, in a large heavy skillet add ½ C oil put on low heat setting. Place stew meat on a cutting board or a cookie sheet and coat with the ½ C of flour on all sides. Place the meat in the preheated skillet and brown on all sides. (about 5 minutes) Use a ladle to get some of the broth from the Dutch oven to deglaze the skillet and stir the stew meat well. Add the stew meat and all the pan drippings to the Dutch oven very carefully so as not to burn your self. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, corn, and peas. Let the stew cook for 20 minutes, stir occasionally. When the vegetables are tender the stew is done.

Warning: The aroma from this hearty stew will draw a crowd to your kitchen before the stew is actually done!

Pork, The Other White Meat

Pork has been called the other white meat but in my opinion, it should be the only white meat. It has more flavor and is juicier than the white meat of any fowl. There are many ways of preparing pork and especially the center cut pork chops. One of my favorite ways of preparing center cut chops is stuffed. Following are some stuffed pork chop recipes that I enjoy making and eating

1. Stuffed Pork Chops With Veggies (serves four)

Ingredients: Four fairly large butterfly center cut pork chops, one small onion chopped small, one small bell pepper chopped small, three stalks celery peeled and sliced fine, one large carrot shredded, three large button mushroom sliced thinly, about one cup of bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs, one egg. salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation: In a bowl combine onion, pepper, celery, carrot, and button mushrooms. Mix these veggies thoroughly. Beat egg until fluffy and add to the veggie mixture. Combine thoroughly and add bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs together with salt and pepper to taste. When thoroughly mixed it should be solid and not crumbly. When you pick up a portion of this mixture you should be able to roll it into a ball.

Open the butterfly center cut pork chops and place one fourth of the mixture into the chops and close with a toothpick. This stuffed pork chop recipe can be cooked in two different ways. You can either dip in egg and bread crumbs and fry it or bake it. If you bake it be sure your oven is at 350 and the center of the chops should be about 140-160 . Be sure the pork is cooked thoroughly. This is by far my most favorite of all stuffed pork chops recipes.

1. Stuffed Pork Chops With Legumes And Nuts (Serves four)

Ingredients: Four fairly large butterfly center cut pork chops, one small onion chopped fine, one small bell pepper chopped fine, one cup black or red beans cooked, half cup walnuts or almonds chopped fine, half cup of white or dark raisins, one egg, salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation: In a bowl combine the onion, pepper, beans, nuts and raisins. Mix thoroughly. Beat the egg until fluffy and add to the aforementioned mixture mixing until everything is mixed thoroughly. Add the salt and pepper. The mixture should hold together without crumbling. The beans are the basis of this stuffed pork chop recipe and will hold all of the ingredients together. Open the butterfly chops and place one fourth of the ingredients into the chop. Close with toothpick to hold it together. Place the chops in a baking dish with has been oiled with olive oil drizzle some of the oil on top of the chops and bake in a 350 oven until done.

Variations: Instead of the beans in the second recipe you can add one cup of cooked rice either brown or white whichever you prefer. You may add other veggies into the first recipe or delete some of the veggies you do not like. Some veggies I would suggest would be: spinach, broccoli chopped very fine or finely chopped cabbage. Use your own discretion.

These stuffed pork chop recipes can be served with mashed or baked potatoes, green beans sautéed in butter with almonds. This combination will make a well balanced tasty meal that will be enjoyed by everyone.

Tips For Perfect Pizza in an Outdoor Pizza Oven

There is nothing as good as a pizza cooked in a real outdoor pizza oven over a hot fire. There are a few tips that can make your pizza extra good when you use one of these ovens. Follow these tips for all the pizza recipes you use and you will find they turn out better than ever.

Before you put any toppings on, drizzle a little olive oil on the dough. It enhances the flavor and keeps the crust crisp during baking.

Make your own sauce with vine-ripened tomatoes. If you do not want to take the time to make a sauce, you can just place thin slices of these juicy delicacies on top of your pizza in place of sauce. If you must use canned tomatoes to make sauce when tomatoes are out of season, add just a bit of sugar to brighten the flavor a bit.

Bake at a hot temperature. Outdoor ovens are made to cook at high temperatures. At 450 degrees Fahrenheit, a 12 inch pizza can cook in only 8 or 9 minutes. If your oven gets hotter, you can eat even faster. This is a great advantage if you are making several pizzas to feed a crowd.

Bake your pizza on quarry tiles or a pizza stone to get that crisp crust you are hankering for. Heat your oven up at least half an hour before you are ready to bake to heat them up. Use a pizza peel to place your pizza safely in the oven and get it out again.

Recipe for Traditional Brick Oven Pizza

What You Need


3-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon active yeast
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water

(makes 3 crusts)

Toppings:


1 pound mozzarella, grated
1 small onion, chopped
1 can black olives
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 pound sausage, crumbled
1 14-ounce can stewed tomatoes
6 ounces cream cheese
Fresh basil

How to Make It

To mix the dough:

Add the yeast, oil, honey to warm water, and stir until well combined. Add the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixer bowl and slowly add the liquid, mixing continuously until the dough is tacky and pulls easily away from the sides. Knead the dough or run the mixer on low for 7 minutes with the bread hook to knead. Place finished dough in an oiled bowl and cover. Let it rest until it has doubled in volume.

Heat your outdoor pizza oven. Chop and slice the toppings as needed. Set aside.

Divide dough into thirds, rolling each third out until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Dust the pizza peal with a little corn meal so the dough does not stick. Set the dough on the peal and add your sauce, meat, vegetables, and cheese as desired. Place pizza in the outside pizza oven for approximately 6 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your pizza. Remove and let it rest a few moments before slicing. Enjoy!

Campfire Cooking Recipes - Hamburger Stew

There is nothing better than hamburger stew on the open flames of the campfire and there are some wonderful recipes that even the least experienced cook can handle on the outdoor fire ring. Here is a recipe that any cook would love to have in their recipe files to make camping. You should first start with the perfect fire and it will make the difference in how hot the charcoals are, they will be ashy and gray. Depending on how hot the coals are will determine how fast the stew will cook. You can prepare the ingredients at home before your trip to eliminate some of the work when you get to your campsite. Chop your vegetables prior to your trip. Chop your celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes mix with salt and pepper then place in a zip lock baggy. Be sure to place them on ice or in a cooler so they do not turn brown.

Ingredients

. 1 -1/12 pound(s) ground beef
· 1 -2 c chopped carrots
. 2 celery stalks (diced)
· 1 medium onion, chopped
· 4 -5 medium potatoes, chopped
· 1 bag frozen peas
· 1 package onion soup mix
· water
· salt and pepper
· oregano or basil
· 1 loaf french or sourdough bread

Brown the meat in a large cast iron pot or dutch oven. Add the carrots, celery onions, potatoes and onion soup mix with enough water to cover. Cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 20-30 minutes). Slice and butter the bread. Wrap it in foil and place near the fire so that the bread will toast from the heat of the fire. Add the peas to the pot. Season to taste with salt, pepper and oregano or basil. Simmer until the peas are hot. Serve with the warm bread. Yummy, there is nothing better then campfire cooking

Another recipe that you cook on the campfire is Brunswick stew. You can also eliminate the chopping, dicing, and cutting for home prior to your camping trip.

Ingredients

· 3 pound(s) stewing chicken (cut up)
· 2 pound(s) beef stew meat
· 2 bay leaves
· 1 tsp thyme, parsley
· 3 stalks celery
· 2 onions
· 1 Tbsp black peppercorns
· 2 Tbsp salt/pepper Blend
· 2 cans tomatoes (cut up)
· 2 cup carrots (peeled and chopped)
· 2 cup celery (chopped)
· 2 cup onions (chopped)
· 3 large potatoes (diced)
· 2 cup lima beans (frozen)
· 3 cup corn (fresh off the cob)

Directions

Add chicken and beef stew meat to dutch oven then place on the hot coals. Add bay leaves, thyme, parsley, celery stalks, onion wedges, salt and pepper blend and peppercorns. Simmer covered until chicken and beef are thoroughly tender, about 2 hours. Remove meat and set aside to cool. Strain the stock and discard veggies and herbs. Skim off some of the fat. Add tomatoes, carrots, chopped celery, onions, potatoes, lima beans and corn to strained stock. Simmer uncovered until all vegetables are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. Bone chicken and remove pieces of ham hock from the bone. Return meat to pot.

Moles, Warts & Skin Tags Remedy

Are you worried about your moles, warts, and skin tags? Are scared about the idea of removing them surgically using laser, knife or some acid?

Moles and warts are skin infection caused by specific wart viruses, producing bumps on various parts of body or the soles of feet. Here are some remedies for removal of moles, warts and skin tags.

Soak your wart in warm water for 15-20 minutes and dry. Apply apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with water and dry.

Dissolve an aspirin with a small drop of water and apply to the wart. Cover with a band-aid. Repeat twice daily.

Mix some baking soda in water and rub on the wart 3-4 times daily. You can soak a cloth guage with a mixture of baking soda and castor oil and apply it on the mole. Secure it there with a band-aid. Leave it for overnight.

For getting rid of plantar warts, daily take a piece of ripe (or raw) banana peel and apply the pulp side to the wart and cover with a band-aid. Remove it only when taking bath. Apply daily for many months.

For quite old warts, chew some cashews and place it on the wart. Your warts should melt away in 3-4 weeks.

Open the stem of a dandelion and rub on the warts 2-3 times daily until the wart disappears in 3-4 weeks.

Rub crushed garlic on the wart 2-3 times daily until the wart disappears in 3-4 weeks. OR mash a garlic clove so it is pulpy and moist. Cover the wart with this pulp and secure it there with a band-aid. Leave it for overnight. Wart will start disappearting from the first night.

Chop one raw onion and cover with salt and leave overnight. Apply the juice to the warts 2-3 times daily until warts disappear.

Apply a drop of grapefruit seed extract to the wart and cover with a band-aid, 2-3 times daily. Your warts should fall off in 3-4 weeks.

Traditional Vegetable Chopping Knife (Nakiri-bocho)

Chop, chop, chop! The Nakiri-bocho is a traditional Japanese knife that is especially useful for chopping vegetables. Made in Takefu city in Japan, this knife is carefully hand-forged, hammered, balanced and sharpened over several days using traditional methods to achieve its maximum performance. The completely handcrafted construction of this knife follows similar techniques when forging a traditional Japanese samurai katana sword. Furthermore, the mahogany handle is also very comfortable to hold and work with for a right or left-handed individual.
