Recently, I posted the recipe for this a-maz-ing Pumpkin-Ginger Pie with Gingersnap Strudel. I was quite proud of myself for making a successful dessert even if the pie crust was store-bought. I was pretty convinced at the time (and I still am) that the secret ingredient for this pie was...
Evaporated Milk -- The Cooking Milk
Ham & Swiss Hash Brown Bake
1 bag (16 oz) or 4 1/2 c. frozen, shredded hash brown potatoes
2 cups (8 oz) cooked ham, cut into 1/2" pieces (I used turkey ham)
1 can (12 oz) Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 T Dijon or yellow mustard
1/2 to 1 t. ground black pepper
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of moisture
1 c (4 oz) shredded Swiss cheese (I added more...love cheese!)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2 1/2 - 3 quart casserole dish.
Combine potatoes, ham, evaporated milk, soup, mustard and pepper in a large bowl. Pour half of potato mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with spinach and top with remaining potato mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes before serving! Enjoy!!
Thai-Peanut Ginger Wings
1 can (12 oz) Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 cup cream peanut butter
1/2 cup soy sauce, divided
1/4 cup chopped green onions (I forgot these and just used red onion.)
2 1/2 t. ground ginger
2 t. rice vinegar
1/2 t. red pepper flakes (I used ground red pepper.)
5 lbs. frozen chicken wings, thawed
Place evaporated milk, peanut butter, 3 T. soy sauce, onions, ginger, vinegar and pepper in blender. Cover. (Ha! Of course you cover it!) Blend until smooth. Combine 1/2 c. peanut sauce, remaining 5 T soy sauce and wings in a large bowl, cover. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for 1 hour. Refrigerate remaining peanut sauce.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Foil-line and grease 2 baking sheets with sides.
Place chicken on prepared baking sheets. Discard any remaining marinade.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning once (or twice) or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from baking sheets to serving platter. (I put mine in a crockpot to keep warm.) Stir remaining peanut sauce and spoon some over wings. If desired, serve remaining sauce with wings and assorted cut-up vegetables. Enjoy!



I've been thinking a lot about several different issues and burdens. These burdens have almost become too much for me to bear. The Lord has been teaching me that I can't let these issues hinder me from my walk with Him and my duty to my family.
