Yummy food!

So Amber and I have been trying to cook more, we made a wonderful dish with turkey in it, and it was really simple.

Brown the Turkey
add apple juice, a fresh cut apple, some ginger and some cinnamon, let the turkey cook on the stove covered until its done.
then take the turkey and the apples out of the pan, mix together some corn startch (1tbls) and cold water (2 tbls) and mix them in with the juices. let the juice thicken and serve on top of the turkey and apples!

We had that with some cheesy rice, which was also very yummy.
cook the rice, add a can of chicken broth, add cheese to taste. (the cheese we found works really good is the kraft mexican blend with cream cheese in it)

We had gone to a Chinese restaurant a while back that had a really cool idea for desert (it would have worked better as a desert if the oranges were sweeter though) I really want to learn how to do this to oranges.

We want to become better cooks, so we've just been playing around with food. Amber made a wonderful home made mac and cheese, and to spice it up we added turkey kielbasa sausage. Made with shells and Velveeta. it was wonderful. 


Do you have any family favorites for food we could try?

So I'm trying

So I'm trying out this blogging thing. I"m going to try to write at least once a week, I'm not sure how it is going to go, or if I will even continue this, but at least I'm going to try.

This Weekend my sister and her friend Rachel came up and we went to Dave and Busters. It was a blast. We had dinner and played games, Amber won 1000 tickets in one game, and Sherry won 500! Although we really learned how to pick the games that don't work... we found at least 3 or 4 that didn't work... that didn't give the tickets out... but the attendants helped us out.


After we went to Dave and Busters we played a wonderful game of Randomness called Quelf, it was so much fun, or as i was suppose to say most of the night, "it was so much fun, it was so much fun" Rachel had to attach three things to her in three different ways.
and then had to try to tie a tie... which she had never done :) Silly Rachel. So I tried to teach a drunk Rachel how to tie a tie, then Amber put it on her head...
All in all, I think it was an amazing night. I'll try to write again soon.
