Berry Cobbler

Ingredients

8 cups mixed berries (I recommend 3 cups blueberries, 2 cups blackberries, 1 and 1/2 cups raspberries, 1 and 1/2 cup chopped strawberries) *
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tsp lemon juice*
1/2 Tsp. pure vanilla extract

Biscuit Topping
1-1/2 cups Robin Hood all-purpose flour*
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 Tsp. baking powder
1/4 Tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup Buttermilk cold
1 Tbsp. buttermilk + coarse sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan.

Make the filling: In a large bowl, gently fold the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together until thoroughly combined. Spread filling evenly into prepared pan.

Make the topping: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Use two forks, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal (pea-sized crumbs). While slowly stirring, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup buttermilk. Mix until evenly combined. Take handfuls of dough and gently flatten out. Place dough all over the top of the berry filling.

Brush the top of the biscuit dough with 1 TBS of buttermilk, then sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and biscuit topping is cooked through. (Stick a toothpick into the biscuit topping if it comes out clean the cobbler is done.) Set the pan on a wire rack, then cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with Chapman’s vanilla ice cream.

Swedish Meatballs & French Carrot Salad

Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients

Meatballs
2 slices Villaggio white sandwich bread*
1 onion, finely chopped
300g ground beef*
300g ground pork
1 egg
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, grated
1/4 tsp All Spice powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp. garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp. oil

Gravy
3 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. Western Family flour*
2 cups beef broth/stock
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Chop onion and garlic.

Scrape onion, garlic, and juices into bowl. Add bread and mix well - onion juice should make bread soggy (if not, add a tiny splash of milk). Set aside to soak for 1 minute. Add remaining Meatball ingredients EXCEPT oil. Mix well.

Using a tablespoon measure and measure out a heaped tablespoon, dollop on work surface. Repeat with remaining mixture: 25 - 30 meatballs. Then roll into shape.

Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add half the meatballs and brown all over (but raw inside still) - about 3 minutes. Remove onto plate, then brown the remaining batch. If there is lots of oil, pour off excess and discard. Lower heat to medium. Add butter into skillet and melt. Add flour and stir in. Cook for 1 minute. While mixing, add about 1/4 of the beef broth - it will thicken quickly. Then gradually add remaining beef broth, stirring as you go. Switch to whisk if required to make it lump free.

When the liquid is simmering, add meatball and juices pooled on plate.

Turn up heat slightly to keep it at a rapid simmer. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until the liquid thickens into a thin gravy, stirring occasionally.

Add cream, simmer for a further 2 minutes then remove from stove.
Serve over mashed potato or with spaghetti!

Juiciest Baked Pork Tenderloin & Greek Lemon Rice

Juiciest Baked Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

2 Pork tenderloins, about 1 lb. each*
1 tbsp. Paprika
2 tsp. EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
1 tsp. EACH: oregano, salt, and pepper
1 tbsp. Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Campbell’s beef broth*
1 tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. Butter
Minced parsley, to serve

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dry the pork tenderloins well with paper towels.

Mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub this spice mix over all sides of the pork.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork, working in 2 batches if your pan is not big enough to fit both tenderloins without them touching. Sear the pork on all sides until it is brown, about 6 minutes total. Take the pan off the heat.

Move the pork to a baking dish. If the spices left in the pan are black, wipe them away with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and add the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits then boil for 1 minute until it reduces to about 1/4 cup. Pour this sauce over the pork.

Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork then dot the top with the butter. Cover the baking dish with foil.

Bake the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Serve with a little minced parsley.

Greek Lemon Rice

Ingredients

2 cups Western Family long grain rice*
Extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup Bioitalia orzo pasta*
2 lemons, juice of (PLUS zest of 1 lemon)
2 cups Campbell’s chicken or vegetable broth*
Pinch salt
Large handful chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. dill weed

Instructions

Wash rice well and then soak it for about 15 to 20 minutes in plenty of cold water (enough to cover the rice by 1 inch). You should be able to easily break a grain of rice by simply placing it between your thumb and index finger. Drain well.

Heat about 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan with a lid (like this one) until oil is shimmering but not smoking. Add onions and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and orzo pasta. Toss around for a bit until the orzo has gained some color then stir in the rice. Toss to coat.

Now add lemon juice and broth. Bring liquid to a rolling boil (it should reduce a little), then turn heat to low. Cover and let cook for about 20 minutes or until rice is done (liquid should be fully absorbed and rice should be tender but not sticky.)

Remove rice from heat. For best results, leave it covered and do not disturb rice for about 10 minutes or so.

Uncover and stir in parsley, dill weed and lemon zest. If you like, add a few slices of lemon on top for garnish. Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup Meadowvale unsalted butter *
1 cup Adams creamy peanut butter *
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tbsp. milk
1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 and 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
12 oz. Chipits chocolate chips*

Instructions

Before getting started, leave eggs, butter, and peanut butter on the counter to bring to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 350 (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth; about 2 minutes. Add in both sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides as needed. Beat in the milk until it's combined.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

On low speed, gradually beat the flour mixture into the wet ingredient mixture, beating until just incorporated. Turn mixer off. Beat in the oats and chocolate chips, mixing just until combined.

Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 and 1/2 inches between so they have room to spread.

Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center. Repeat with all cookie dough.
