[TheCoffeeClub] Recipe, Ham and Beans in the Instant Pot, May 20, 2020

May 20, 2020

Ham and Beans in the Instant Pot

1 pound dry brown or white beans

7 cups water

1 ham hock or bone

About 2 cups cubed ham

Salt and pepper to taste

Onion (optional)

Rinse beans, add all ingredients to the instant pot, and pressure for 65 minutes.

Do a quick release.

Note:  If you listen to the coffee club demo, I mis-spoke regarding the amount of water—I mistakenly said 3 cups, it is 7 cups.

Please do not use 3 cups or you may burn your beans.

 [TheCoffeeClub] Recipe, Chicken And Noodle Casserole, May 6, 2020

May 6, 2020

Chicken and Noodle Casserole

(larger version)

1 chicken + 1 breast and 1 or 2 thighs (or just 1 really big chicken)

12 to 16 ounces of wide egg noodles

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

2 soup cans of milk, water, or chicken broth or any combination

3 cans green peas, undrained

Salt & pepper to taste

2 to 3 cups (2 rolls) buttery round crackers such as Ritz, crushed

1 ½ to 2 sticks of margarine, softened

Directions

1.     Poach chicken in a large pot of simmering water. Cook until no longer pink in center, about 12 minutes. (I cook bone-in chicken longer), save water.
Remove from pot and set aside. Bring chicken cooking water back to a boil and cook pasta in it. Drain. Cut chicken into small pieces, and mix with noodles.

2.     In a separate bowl, mix together soups,  and milk/water/broth. Season with salt and pepper. Gently stir together cream soup mixture with the chicken
mixture and add peas. Place in 3 quart (or 9 X 13) and another 2 quart (or 7 X 9) baking dishes. 

3.     Mix softened butter and crushed crackers. Top each casserole with the buttery crackers. 

4.     Bake at 350 degrees  for 35 to 40 minutes, until heated through and browned on top. 

Note:  You can use any combination of cream soups you want.  If you want to drain your peas or use frozen peas though, you will need to use 4 cans of cream
soup instead of 3, and an additional half can or so of water or milk.

Chicken Noodle Casserole

(smaller version)

1 chicken or 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

9 ounces wide egg noodles

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup

About a soup can and a half of water, milk, or chicken broth or water, milk, broth mixture 

1 or 2 cans peas, mostly drained

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup to 1-1/2 cups crumbled buttery round crackers (about a roll of Ritz)

1/2 cup to ¾ cup butter or margarine

Directions

Poach chicken in a large pot of simmering water. Cook until no longer pink in center, about 12 minutes. (I cook bone-in chicken longer). Remove from pot
and set aside. Bring chicken cooking water to a boil and cook pasta in it. Drain. Cut chicken into small pieces, and mix with noodles. 

In a separate bowl, mix together soups,  and milk/water/broth. Season with salt and pepper. Gently stir together cream soup mixture with the chicken mixture
and add peas. Place in a 3 to 3-1/2 quart baking dish. 

Melt butter in microwave or a small saucepan, and remove from heat. Stir in crumbled crackers. Top casserole with the buttery crackers. 

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 30 minutes, until heated through and browned on top. 

Note:  For the soup, you can use any cream soup combination.  I have substituted mushroom for one of the cream of chickens.

You can also pressure the chicken, remove it from its water, add more water if you think it needs it, then pressure the noodles for 1 minute.  They should
be done.  Then, just drain and dispose of your water.

As you can see if you compare the recipes, they are pretty flexible, just make sure you have plenty of liquid.

Virus

By Maryann Migliorelli

I am not Corona Virus

I am a virus just the same,

Please let me introduce myself

I am happy to explain.

I am the laughter of little children

And the sound of happy feet,

Listen closely while they play 

For their voices strong and sweet.

I am the tickle of good Champaign

As it bubbles near your nose,

And the coziness of cocoa

As it warms you to your toes.

The summer scent of hot dogs

And burgers on the grill,

The cocoanut tanning lotion 

On the beaches where you chill.

The multi-layered taste

Of a chocolate covered berry,

The cool and creamy richness

Of ice cream from your favorite dairy.

Vibrant colors of a rainbow

And the brilliance of the stars,

Sun glow and moon glow

Creating beauty where you are.

The strong and loving arms

Closing you in an embrace

The touch of a newborn baby’s skin

And God’s amazing grace.

I am a loving joyful virus

Corona’s not my name,

Take the time to know me well

Then spread me in every way.

Because spreading love and joy

Gives you the ultimate power,

To make the world a better place

For all in this timely hour.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer

Homemade Hand Sanitizer

This recipe makes about a cup, but can be doubled, tripled,  or even quadrupled easily.

2/3 cups 99 percent rubbing alcohol 

1/3 cup aloa vera gel

8 to 10 drops essential oil

Mix together and funnel into a pump bottle.

Note:  Oils such as thyme and clove oil have antimicrobial properties, so only use a drop or two because they are very strong and may irritate your skin.

Other oils such as lavender and chamomile have properties that are soothing to the skin.
