Green Chile Stew

1 tablespoon oil

2 pounds cubed beef or pork stew meat

1 medium onion, chopped
2 T Flour

1½ cups beef broth (I use 2 cans of Campbell's Beef Consomme)

1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed (I use 4 large potatoes)

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown meat and onion until the onion is translucent. Add flour and stir until cooked/toasty. Add broth and green chilies. Stir in cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. (Add more broth or water if needed while simmering.) Stir in cubed potatoes and simmer an  additional 30 minutes, or until tender.

Note: This is easy to convert to a slow-cooker recipe. Add browned meat and everything but the potatoes to a slow cooker. Cook on low 4 to 6 hours. Add potatoes for the final hour.

3-2-1 Cake (3 WW Points)

Combine 2 Cake Mixes in a Gallon ziploc Bag (1 cake must be Angel Food Cake for the dried egg)

Crockpot Pineapple Pork Roast

Pineapple Pork Roast
Ingredients

3 pound Pork Roast
1 15 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice
¼ C packed brown sugar
¼ C soy sauce - (I used light to reduce the sodium)
2 – 3 cloves of minced garlic
¼ - ½ tsp salt
¼ - ½ tsp of coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp of dried rosemary (optional)
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch dissolved in ¼ C of cold water (to thicken sauce after cooking)

Preparations

Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients except the pork roast and cornstarch in a bowl. 
Place the roast in the crock pot and pour the sauce on top. Cook on high 5-6 hours or low for 7-8.
Remove the roast from the crock pot when done, set aside and keep warm. 

Prepare the cornstarch and whisk into the sauce in the crock pot to thicken.
Add the roast back into the crock pot and let cook an additional 15 minutes more.

Linen Spray

Homemade Linen Spray

1 teaspoon essential oil (I like lavender)

1/4 cup witch hazel (you can substitute this with vodka, cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol)

3 1/2 cups water

Just spray on your sheets every morning when you make the bed. You can use this on tablecloths or any linens. It dries quickly and leaves a wonderful scent that smells so good when you turn down your sheets at night.

The witch hazel or alcohol is used as an emulsifier to keep the oil and water from separating. You can make it without, but you'll need to shake it very well to get it to mix together without leaving oily spots. I recommend using the emulsifier.
