I picked up a copy of Ricardo magazine, a Canadian publication,
because it had a bunch of slow cooker recipes in it that looked
interesting. I haven't used my cooker yet but thought these looked
promising enough to maybe try one of these days. I thought the
potato one looked like it might be a good one for a potluck supper.
Cheers, Hallie

Hallie's comment: This looks good. The listing for turkey breast
seems a bit
ambiguous but possibly it was translated from the French. The way it
reads
is that you should use already roasted turkey breast but it doesn't
make
sense if you are going to cook it for 4 hours so I assume they meant
turkey
breast roast - raw.

1 3/8 cups Pineapple Juice
2 tablespoons Flour
3 Egg Yolks, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
...
1 2-pound can Crushed Pineapple, drained

Notes: Vi made this recipe for our fall PD Support Group picnic in
September 2016. Members really liked it but thought it was a tapioca
base.
We tracked down the recipe and Vi told us it was made with Acini De
Pepe
pasta, not tapioca.

We had something very similar to this at a local restaurant a week
or so ago and it was wonderful. Their rolls were outstanding and
that may be the real secret to the great taste.
I plan to make these tonight.

Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, trimmed of excess fat and sliced
thin
2 pinches kosher salt
1 pinch coarse black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, more or less to taste
1/4 teaspoon onion powder, more or less to taste
...
1/2 a whole orange bell pepper, sliced thin
1/2 a whole red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 whole large sweet onion, sliced vertically
2 tablespoon light olive oil
pickled jalapenos, chopped (optional, or other spicy pepper)
12 slices smoked provolone cheese
6 six-inch sub buns, split
mayonnaise
Slice chicken into thin strips, season with salt, pepper, garlic and
onion powder and toss them around to evenly distribute the
seasonings. Set aside.
Preheat your griddle to 375F or a large skillet over
medium/medium-high heat and preheat your oven to 350F.
Once griddle or pan is hot, add in a tablespoon of olive oil and add
in the peppers and onions. Stir to coat in oil and then leave them
be for a minute or two to create a good caramelization and color.
Continue to cook the onions and peppers until they are soft yet
still a bit firm, transfer them to a clean bowl.
Add the remaining oil to the griddle or pan, and add in the chicken.
Work in batches so the chicken has a chance to color and cook
evenly. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to the bowl with the
peppers and onions and toss.
Divide the chicken/pepper mixture among the split sub buns and top
with chopped jalapenos {if desired} and two slices of smoked
Provolone per sandwich.
Slide the sandwiches into your preheated oven for 5-8 minutes or
until the cheese is melted.
Smear mayonnaise {if desired} on the underneath of the top bun and
serve warm!

This was excellent. We had it with grilled burgers and the sweet
potato fries previous submitted. I must tell you, though, I forgot
about the fries in the oven and over-cooked them.

Notes: Candice made this on September 4th. We had 3 family members
over
for a Labor Day "cook out." She made a few changes:
>About tripled the recipe.
>Used a stick blender to make the dressing.
>Grilled the corn on the cob to give it a smoky, charred flavor.
>Did not cook anything else.
She made a huge bowl of the salad and most of it got eaten by the 8
of us.

Extra Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 whole Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Into 1/4-inch wide Thin
Sticks
6 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup ghee (or olive oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt (or Plain Salt)
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Crispy edges, soft center sweet potato fries baked not fried - so
you can feel good about eating them!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with
parchment paper (foil, wax paper etc. will not work). Set aside.
Place cut sweet potato fries in a large bowl or Ziploc bag and toss
with cornstarch. You want a nice thin coating. Pour the potatoes
into a strainer and shake off extra corn starch. Discard the extra
cornstarch out of the mixing bowl. Place potatoes back into the bowl
and add the ghee/olive oil, garlic, seasoned salt, chili powder, and
black pepper.
Line the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet. Try not to crowd them
or else they won't bake, they'll just steam. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and flip. Place back into the oven for about 20
more minutes. Make sure to rotate the pan to avoid uneven browning.
It is okay if the edges get a little bit burnt.
Turn the oven off and keep the fries inside as the oven cools down
for about 30 minutes. This step will help the fries get crispier.
Enjoy immediately.
