Four Food on Friday #37
Written by Lisa on July 11, 2008 – 1:00 am -Okay, I have forgotten to do this for several weeks now, but I am going to try to get back into the groove of doing these again. If you want to join, check out Fun, Crafts, and Recipes.
#1. Cake. Buttercream, whipped cream or ice cream? I like all cake. Since I am lactose intolerant, I prefer not to eat ice cream cake even though I do like it.
#2. When entertaining do you use real, paper, plastic or styrofoam dishes? If we are having a big party, plastic and styrofoam. If its just immediate family, real because I have a dish washer.
#3. When hosting a party do you cook, have it catered or go to a restaurant? Cook.
#4. Share a recipe that you frequently serve when having a party.
Potato Salad – 10 lbs
10 lbs. potatoes
3 – 4 hard-boiled eggs
1 bottle of mayo
Mustard
½ lid white vinegar
½ cup milk
Sugar
Onion
Boil water with potatoes for approx. 30 minutes – 1 hr. Drain and put in fridge overnight.

The next day, peel and slice potatoes. Mix mayo and mustard till yellow and add vinegar. Add in milk, salt, and pepper. Taste, if bitter add sugar.

Pizza Breadstick Casserole
Written by Lisa on June 24, 2008 – 10:47 am -
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
5 tbsps of diced onions (I personally use less since I am not a huge onion fan)
1 jar chunky tomato pasta sauce
1 box (10.6 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated Parmesan breadsticks with garlic
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12×8 (2 qt) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Brown ground beef and drain. Stir in pepperoni, onions, and pasta sauce. Cook until boiling.
Unroll dough into 1 large rectangle. Spread garlic mixture from the box evenly over the dough. Separate dough into 10 breadsticks. Cut each breadstick into 3 crosswise pieces.
Pour ground beef mixture into baking dish. Spread dough pieces evenly over hot ground beef mixture.
Bake 15 - 18 minutes or until topping is golden brown and no longer doughy. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

The Beast’s Goulash
Written by Lisa on June 11, 2008 – 1:26 pm -
That really isn’t the name of this recipe. However, when I told Madison I was making Goulash she told me that The Beast from Maggie and Ferocious Beast (it’s a show on Noggin for those of you who don’t have kids) LOVES goulash. Hence, we came up with this name, and I don’t remember what its really called anymore. As you can hopefully see from the picture on the left (if not, Will has it all over his face and hair), this easy to make recipe is a huge hit with everyone here!
2 2/3 cups uncooked rotini pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 cups chopped celery (about 3 stalks)
1 cup chopped onion (about 2 medium onions)
2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Cook pasta as directed on the package and drain.
Cook ground beef, celery, and onions until beef is thoroughly cooked and drain.
Stir in cooked pasta and the remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
