End of Summer
Summer is over. The seasons are changing. The nights are cooler and the days are shorter. However, with a new season comes new recipes, new culinary arts to explore. Welcome to Fall Recipes by N&C. The convenience of the outdoor grill is gone. The fresh berries are all but canned. It is time to cook!

I'm thinking of... stew!
Recipe 6: Beef Stew
Ingredients:
Beef (cut into cubes)
Potatoes
Carrots
Onion
Beef broth
The how to:
First, brown the stew meat in a skillet. While meat is browning, chop up carrots into bite-size pieces. Then chop one onion into eightieths. Add meat, carrots, and onion into pressure cooker. Add beef broth, enough to go about an inch above the meat. Then bring to a boil. Simmer covered for 30 minutes. While that simmers, peel and cut potatoes and place then in a bowl with water to prevent the potatoes from turning black. After meat and what not is finished simmering, add the potatoes (no water!). Then bring that to a boil. Put on lid and cook in pressure cooker for 15 minutes. Then, enjoy the stew!

Which Came First?
Recipe 5: Roast Chicken
A home recipe
Ingredients:
Whole Chicken
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary
Parsley
Olive oil
Paprika
The How to:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry (make sure you remove all giblets if any). Put a little olive oil on the chicken and rub everywhere (you do not have to get the underside of the chicken unless desired). Sprinkle on seasonings and herbs. Cook the chicken so that it cooks for fifteen minutes to the pound (EX: 5 pound chicken means 1 hr and 15 min.)
Suggestions:
Instead of rosemary use thyme
Paprika is strong, sprinkle lightly and very little. It is mostly meant to add color and enhance the other flavors.

Recipe 4: Pork Kabobs
This recipe came from our mother.
Ingredients:
Bell Peppers
Pork
Bacon
Onion
White mushrooms (fresh)
Rosemary
Thyme
coarse Salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Olive oil
The How to:
Cut the peppers and onion into one inch pieces. If not already pre-cut, cut the pork (we used a packet of pork cubes for stew) into one inch pieces. Place all the peppers, onion, and pork into a pan to be marinaded. Cover the kabob ingredients in the pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme (all to taste). Then cover in the olive oil. Cover pan with plastic wrap and set aside for several hours to soak in the flavors. Chop bacon strips into one inch pieces. Skewer pieces in whatever order desired once the other ingredients finish marinading. Cook on grill until done and enjoy!
