Honey-Apple Pork Chops
By: Copper Mistral

4 Pork Chops (bone-in, boneless, butterfly, whatever)
1qt (about 1L) Apple Juice
2 Tbsp (about 30mL) Honey
Ground Black Pepper

Optional:
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Garlic
Other spices

  Mix the apple juice and honey.  You may need to warm the juice slightly to get the honey to blend in.  Add a dash each cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper.  Mix well.
  Using a meat fork, dinner fork, or other sharp pokey utensil, pierce the pork chops repeatedly.  Have fun.  Pretend they're your former boss or something.  Place pork chops in a large (gallon sized) zipper baggy, add the apple juice-honey-spice mixture to the bag, and seal.  Let marinade in refridgerator as long as possible.  As with most marinades, the longer, the better.  I recommend at least 4 hours, overnight seems to work best.  Massage the bag occasionally to keep things in solution.
  Preheat BBQ grill to just below "Wow, that's hot!" (medium flame) and add pork chops.  Cook 2 to 3 minutes, then lower flame.  Turn once.  Cook until done.  Keep your eyes open for flame-ups as the juice-honey mixture is quite flammable, and left unattended, you will end up with oddly shaped hockey pucks.
  Alternative suggestions:
    Instead of using a fork to pierce the meat, use a marinade injector.  I don't have one, so I've never done this.
    If you don't have a grill, or the weather is off, you can bake them in the oven.  I have no idea how to do this, though.  Check your local cook book for recommended baking temperatures and times.

Crockpot Turkey Roast Dinner
by Lorimae Undercroft

Notes:
Measurements aren't exact for this.  
Just fit in what fits and save the rest to add in later during a reheat!

Other vegetables work nice too, radishes, corn, greenbeans.
Pick what you like!

I don't peel the vegetables (except the onion).
Just wash well and cut off any funky or leafy bits.

Substitute a beef roast for the turkey and you'll have pot roast instead.
If you do beef roast instead of turkey, leave out the extra water at the end!




Supplies:
1 crock pot large enough to hold it all (I use a 4 quart)
Cutting board
Sharp Knife



Ingredients:
Small frozen boneless turkey, thawed
Potatoes
Carrots
Celery
Onion
3 cups hot tap water
1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 or 3 vegetable flavored bullion cubes
Extra Water if needed
Pepper, Salt (before serving)



Instructions:
Thaw the turkey!

Wash and chop carrots, celery, potatos
Peel and chop the onion into pieces.
Amount will vary depending on your crockpot size.

Mix well the hot tap water, soup mix, and bullion cubes

Spray crockpot with cooking spray!

Put the thawed turkey in the crockpot.
Cram potatos down around it.
Put some carrots and half the chopped onion in.
Pour half the liquid mixture.
Put the celery and other half of chopped onion.
Pour the rest of the liquid mixture

Add water until the liquid is about 2 inches below your crockpot lid level.

Cook it on low for about 8 hours.  Don't lift the lid during cooking!

Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Easy Crockpot Chili
by Lorimae Undercroft

Notes:
Can be changed to smaller recipe, just buy 1 or 2 of everything instead of 3.
Substitute whatever flavor of tomatoes and beans you like

I use Green Pepper/Onion flavored tomatoes.



Supplies:
4 quart crock pot
Can opener


Ingredients
3 pounds ground beef
3 15 ounce cans of tomatos, diced
3 packets of McCormick Chili seasoning
3 15 ounce cans of Great Northern or Pinto beans
Cooking spray




Instructions:
Spray the crock pot with cooking spray!

Cook the ground beef, drain well
(I boil it and rinse it under hot tap water.)

Put the tomatos, beans, and spice packets into the crockpot, mix well.
Add the meat, mix well.

Cook on low for 8 hours.  Don't lift the lid during cooking!
Tastes even better after a reheat the next day.

Freeze into individual portions and thaw as needed.

4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.  Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

 Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
