Welcome to my site!
I'm Cindy, and I love to cook! And, I love to eat... hence the size of my rear end! I come from a long line of cooks. My great great Grandmother was a cook in the original Harvey Houses. My grandmother Julia was an awesome cook, and my mom was incredible. I owe my skills to these great women. Especially my Mom who said this to me about making gravy... "Cindy Lynn, wallpaper paste is wallpaper paste & gravy is gravy. Never the two shall meet!" Shall we say my first experience at making gravy left a little bit to be desired! Thank the high heavens my cooking skills have improved since then! Enjoy!

Mushroom Wild Rice

This was SO easy, and turned out really very tasty. I found it on the internet, I believe at the AllRecipes website. It calls for the rice to be cooked for 7 hours in a slow cooker. I opted to adjust it and cook on the stovetop. Delish and full of flavor.

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups water
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed beef consomme, undiluted
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup, undiluted
3 (4 ounce) cans mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup uncooked wild rice **
** At my market I found a wild rice and rice medley. I used two cups of this instead of the called for 1 cup of brown and 1 cup of wild rice.

Directions:

Melt the butter in a sauce pan that has a tight fitting lid. Add the rice and stir until combined.

Add the soups, water and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover.

Cook until the liquid evaporates - approximately 50 -60 minutes.
