I made a super easy one tonight, Honey-soy steak tips with air fryer green beans and steamed jasmine rice. I used one of the miscellaneous steaks from the freezer and cooking the rice took the longest. The honey soy sauce was good enough I would put it on chicken or pork too.

3 tablespoons soy sauce (I use gluten free)
1/4 cup honey
3 gloves minced garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you like a bit of heat)
1 tsp corn starch

I added it to the pan that had a bit of rendered fat from cooking the meat and it had 2 tbs vegetable oil in there to keep it from sticking to the pan.

I am going to make a traditional brisket for Rosh Hashanah in the slow cooker. I usually roast brisket for several hours at low temperature but will experiment with slow cooker today. We'll have the brisket tomorrow night: It always tastes better when refrigerated overnight, sliced, and reheated with the sauce that includes onion soup mix, orange zest and juice, orange marmalade, red wine (Merlot), mushrooms, springs of fresh rosemary and thyme. I will serve the brisket with roasted red potatoes. I'm still mulling over some type of apple dessert - probably apple-honey bundt cake.

DH has cooking duty tonight and will make Parmesan/panko encrusted chicken breasts to be served atop a bed of baby spinach with a squeeze of lemon. He sautees the chicken breasts in olive oil and butter until lightly browned on both sides then transfers to a baking sheet for finishing in the oven.

My uncle went to a seafood market today in Melbourne FL, just north of here. I asked for salmon to take home. He picked up 4 salmon steaks and haddock. He vacuumed sealed 2 salmon steaks for me.

He made my aunt & I salmon and he had more London Broil for dinner. We had wild rice and Brussels sprouts too. Wonderful meal and the salmon was so tender! Even Captain, their dog loved the salmon!

Sounds like you are having a lovely visit with your aunt and uncle and enjoying some great meals. Have a safe trip home.

You're welcome! We love that recipe. My brisket turned out very well in the slow cooker. The meat is a little bland but fork tender, and the sauce is awesome. There is plenty left for another meal tonight, and I will bake an apple cobbler this afternoon.

Your brisket sounds delicious- glad it turned out well!!! it is all about the sauce I think, though I have never made brisket!

Here is the recipe that I used. It is from a cookbook that was given to me years ago. I read several slow cooker recipes and determined that the brisket required 6-8 hours on the low setting in slow cooker. It was fork tender in 7 hours. Fast & Festive Meals for the Jewish Holidays

Thank you so much- this recipe is for baking- can it be converted into a slow cooker?

Yes. I cooked the brisket for 7 hours on low in my slow cooker, and it came out perfectly fork tender.

I’ve made tomato pie twice in the past few weeks. The recipe calls for Roma tomatoes but I use any of the fresh tomatoes from my garden, usually mixed varieties and it always turns out great.

▢ 5 roma tomatoes , peeled and sliced
▢ 10 fresh basil leaves , chopped
▢ 1/2 cup green onion (or red onion), chopped
▢ 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
▢ 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
▢ 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
▢ 3/4 cup mayonnaise
▢ 2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
▢ salt and freshly ground black pepper


Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.

Use a paper towel to pat-dry the tomatoes and make sure most of the excess juice is out. (Or use a salad spinner to spin off the extra juice, which is what I do)

Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pre-baked pie shell. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise.

Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Thought I would post this about recall of ground beef in several states, including mine ( Michigan) - the recall is for possible E-Coli contamination. I contacted the market where I just bought ground beef yesterday and was assured this market does not use this type of beef (in tubes). We made spaghetti with the beef yesterday so that was definitely reassuring.

I'd love to make more apple desserts, but would love to find a better way of peeling them. Anyone know of better ways to do it w/o using those big, cumbersome apple peelers?

I use a sharp paring knife. I made apple cobbler over the weekend. It's delicious and was easy to make. We've enjoyed the apple cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream. Yum!

Arthritis makes it harder to do a lot of apples that way. I might try the kind of peeler that attaches to the counter with a suction cup.

Do you have a recipe for the sauce you make for the brisket? It sounds really good to me. I always cook my pot roast in the slow cooker, but have never tried brisket, so am wondering how it compares to plain ole pot roast.

I looked a little, but so far only found this recipe. It doesn’t have the onion soup though.

ETA: I was premature, as just saw you posted the recipe. Thank you!
