Bread Pudding

For this recipe use either whole wheat or white bread slices. I generally use whole wheat and never throw away end pieces. Bread can always be stored in the freezer until ready to use. When making this use an 8"x 11" casserole dish, lightly greased. Cut the bread into about 3/4 inch cubes. Mix the egg, sugar, butter, milk and spices together. Combine this mix with the bread. Be careful not to over mix. Bake in a preheated oven 350 degrees farenheit for about 35 minutes. This is what you'll need for ingredients:

3-4 cups of bread
3 eggs
1/2 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1 cups of milk
3 tbsp of melted butter
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
3/4 cup of raisons, raisons should be soaked for about 30 minutes in liquid before use
1/2 chocolate bar, chopped

Linguine Mango Curry with Beef

Okay traditionally beef is not something that i consider traditional. nor is curry. However as a Mikmaq and a Wabanaki Citizen i like to sample many foods of other cultures. So here is the recipe. It is a quick put together recipe. The mango curry was purchased off the shelf but i will eventually offer up a recipe soon. Cook slow in a crockpot so as to make the stewing meats very tender. The way meat should be.

2 lbs of stewing meat
2 tbsp of butter or oil
2 medium onions, quartered
4 celery stalks, medium chop
1 carrot, medium chop
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp of onion flakes(optional)
1 tsp of black pepper
1/4 tsp of salt
1/8 cup of milk
1 cup of mango curry sauce
3/4 cup of sour cream
1 box of linguine

Cook of the stewing meat in a crockpot with either oil or butter for approximately 2 hours. Add onions, celery, garlic and cook off an additional 1 hour. For the final 45 minutes add onion flakes, pepper, salt, milk, mango curry and sour cream. Cook the linguine. When the liguine is cooked strain and let rest for 1 minute. Pour portion of sauce mix over each serving portion of linguine.

Apple Crumble

This is a nice treat. Put it all together and place in a preheated oven set at 350 degrees farenheit for about 30 to 40 minutes. For the first 15 minutes you may want to cover the crumble with aluminum foil. After this time cook the crumble without the cover. Make sure you soak the raisons in water or apple juice for about an hour prior to cooking. This is what you need to get started:

For the mix:
3-4 cups of apples, peeled and sliced
3 tbsp of flour, for the apples
1/2 cup of raisons
1 squirt of lemon juice
1 tbsp of sugar
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of cinnamon

For the crumble;
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of oat meal
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of butter

For the mix combine apples and flour. Strain the raisons and combine the remaining ingredients together and pour into a 9"x 13" casserole dish. For the crumble combine brown sugar, oat meal and flour. Cut in the soft butter into this until it looks crumbly. Spread evenly over the apple and raison mix. There you have it. Hope you like.
