Last year San gave me an old family recipe for Italian Tomato Sauce and Meatballs...I love it and thought, with her permission, I would share it
with you. Her grandmother did not give precise measurements on some
items...but you cooks will know how much....
SAN’S ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE
Ingredients
3 Cans of peeled tomatoes (not crushed), large cans
1 Can Paste, large can
4 Cloves Chopped Garlic
1 Onion Chopped or cut (medium size is good)
Salt & Pepper (use your own judgment)
Basil Leaves (Fresh or Dried – if you don’t have Basil is not a must more of a preference)
Vegetable Oil or Olive Oil (can combine both)
2 lbs of sausage, (I have used Jimmy Dean or Tennessee mild and/or Italian)
Preparation
Put oil in pot once hot add sausage and let it brown a little (don’t fry the sausage long)
Add Garlic and Onion when sausage is browning let cook a little (you can smell the aroma Yum)
While sausage is browning open tomatoes or open before hand.
Put tomatoes in blender and give them a quick zip (coupe of seconds).
When you see garlic and onion starting to cook add the tomatoes
Add the Salt, Pepper and Basel after you add the tomatoes and stir together
I usually use a Club Aluminum pot or my Le Creuset pot (If you use a stainless steel pot make sure you watch it and stir frequently it tends to burn on bottom faster if not watched)
I usually have the flame on medium and then I put it in simmer and let it cook for about 2 1/2-3 hours.
MEATBALLS
Ingredients
2 lbs of chop meat
Plain Bread Crumbs, moistened
Chopped Garlic
Cheese, grated or fine parmesan
1 Egg
Salt and Pepper
Preparation
Combine ingredients in a large bowl chop meat being first.
Wet breadcrumbs until moist before adding to mix
Start mixing with hands (mix well)
If you feel it is dry add the egg
Once it’s mixed start rolling your meatballs to the size of a little bit bigger than a golf ball
Put meatballs in a plate until read to fry
Fry meatballs in a frying pan using regular Vegetable oil (sort of like when you fry chicken).
Once fried you can add meatballs to sauce or you can eat them before adding (San has to do that quickly in her house because we eat them before we can get them in the sauce).
This is the best Italian Meatballs and Tomato Sauce....promise...!
The nice thing is...San is always there to consult....

Creamy White Chili
by Marva Brubaker of New Carlisle, OH
in American Profile Magazine
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans
2 (15-ounce) cans Great Northern beans
1 pound grilled chicken, cubed
1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth
1 (14-ounce can) corn
1 (4-ounce) can green chiles
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
Instructions
1. In a large pan, heat oil and sauté onions and garlic. Add beans, chicken, broth, corn, chiles, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, uncovered.
2. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and whipping cream. Serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.
This is a wonderful, quick meal with Italian bread and salad.....I use less
sour cream ....cutting back to 3/4 cup and change Garbanzo beans to another white bean (by preference). Have made it three times....freezes well.

I'm making this tomorrow night ~ can't believe I actually have all the ingredients! Did you make it with garbanzos the first time, and decide you didn't care for them? We like them - you know, chickpeas in the South
, so I guess I'll use those this first time.

ok lime cupcakes with a strawberry in the middle
since some liked them and some did not
FYI I LOVED THEM
recipe:
Strawberry-Lime Stuffed Cupcakes
From Food Network Kitchens
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
Icing:
1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 drop green food coloring
6 large ripe strawberries, hulled
Green sanding sugar
Fresh mint leaves or candied leaves
Equipment: 6-cup jumbo muffin tin
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the butter and then the vanilla.
While mixing slowly, add half the dry ingredients, then add all the milk, and follow with the rest of the dry ingredients. Take care not to over mix the batter. Divide the batter evenly in the prepared tin.
Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove. Cool on the rack completely.
For icing: Mix the confectioners' sugar and lime zest in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and mix with an electric mixer to make a firm but pourable icing. (If needed, add up to 1 teaspoon more juice, but take care if the icing is too loose it doesn't set properly.) Add food color to make a pale pastel green icing.
To assemble: Remove cupcake from its liner. Cut and remove a strawberry (coned) shaped portion of cupcake from the top of each cupcake, leaving about 1/2 to 1-inch of cake in the bottom. Stuff each cake with a strawberry and cover with a little bit of cake. Spoon and spread icing over the top of the cupcakes. Sprinkle with green sanding sugar. Top with small mint leaves or candied leaves.

I checked San's recipe and I had all the ingredients - so guess what we are having for dinner tonight!
None
those cupcakes looks delightful. All your cookies and cupcakes look too good to eat. Keep them away from OldFart!
I also browsed cakecentral.com and there are some lovely recipes and decorations there. I loved the idea of the cupcake bouquet and now need an occasion on which to try it out.

Thank you tcumom and bobo and Tib. We took a weekend course via the National Culinary Arts Institute online and our design work is improving
we can maneuver a pastry bag pretty easily now
I also didn't use the icing in that recipe, I made buttercream but added the lime zest just for a larger effect. Customers seems to want lots of icing on those cupcakes !
Tib, Robert Gordon has the pretties 3=tier dessert stands that would be perfect for cupcakes. Have BTGirl send me your email addy

American Profile Magazine (a weekly in the newspaper in my area) has
nice recipes. I like that they are not all from the south....though this one is like something I would serve with crackers at a party....
Artichoke Dip
from Vicky Navarrete
Hesperia, California
Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 (3-ounce) can diced mild green chiles or diced jalapenos
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
3 to 4 chopped green onions
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine artichokes, chiles, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and green onions. Stir in cream cheese; mix well. Spoon into a 9-inch-square baking dish. Bake about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with slices of French bread or toast. Serves 8.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
Tips From Our Test Kitchen:
This creamy, spicy dip is also excellent served with vegetable sticks.

Gonna try to copy and paste my salsa receipe here. If you see it then you know I did it!!!!
1 gallon diced tomatoes, 2 cups diced onions, 2 cups diced bell pepper, 1 cup diced jalapenos, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, 4 Tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon cilantro leaves
(Any of these ingredients can be adjusted for your own personal taste)
Place the mixture into sterile jars for canning. Hot water bath jars for 40 minutes. Remember there are no perservatives in this salsa, so after opening please refrigerate.
The recipte calls for fresh tomatoes but I have used canned diced tomatoes and you cannot tell the difference! I have also used fresh cilantro and dried - no difference.
This amount fills about 8 pint jars.
Just a hint: After the water bath and the mixture "sits" together the salsa is hotter than when you first taste it. I once used more jalapenos because when I tasted I thought it wasn't hot enough. After the water bath it was almost too hot so be careful with the peppers!!!!

It's in my crockpot right now ~ course I keep peeking and nibbling ~ delicious and it's not even ready yet! It tastes great - I'm using the chickpeas along with great northerns. We need a smiley that shows me lickin' my lips.

I made a smaller batch of your salsa and we both loved it. Had to go easy on the jalapenos as DH cannot eat too much spicy food. Also I did not know what cilantro was (since found out we call it coriander) so I substituted basil leaves. Heated it until onions were soft and then refrigerated. Yummy. Thank you for sharing - I meant to tell you this after you posted recipe on main forum.

Meatballs and tomato sauce were a great hit for dinner last night. Now I will have to make it every time instead of relying on bought sauce! Thank you both for the recipe.

I think that would work. If you heat it on the stove though be sure and have tomato juice in it so it won't get too dry or burn. If you use canned tomatos use the juice from the cans. If you use fresh tomatos I'd add a little tomato juice, I think. I would heat it very slowly, just until the onions and peppers get limp. Then refrigerate.

You could definitely make it a couple days ahead and refrigerate. I refrigerate mine after opening a jar and it gets for quit a while in the refrigerator.
