Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. 2 Pour milk into a measuring cup and add vinegar; set aside until milk curdles, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, oregano, basil, and thyme in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. 4 Make a well in the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon while pouring in 1/4 cup curdled milk at a time. Stop adding milk when it resembles a slightly tacky but moldable dough, stirring until just combined. You may not need all of the milk.
  5. 5 Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface, dust the top with a bit of flour, and then very gently turn the dough over on itself 5 to 6 times. Form dough into a 1-inch thick disc, handling as little as possible.
  6. 6 Using a 1-inch thick dough cutter, push straight down through the dough, then slightly twist. Repeat and place biscuits on a baking sheet in 2 rows, making sure they just touch; this will help them rise uniformly. Gently reform the dough and cut out 1 or 2 more biscuits.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until fluffy and slightly golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  8. 8 While biscuits are baking, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, using a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
  9. 9 Stir butter in a saucepan until melted. Mix in flour, salt, and seasoning. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in milk and continue cooking and stirring until gravy has thickened. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. If mixture is too thick, add in enough chicken broth until gravy has desired consistency. Serve gravy immediately over split biscuits.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl, cover with water, and set aside. Bring the onion, garlic, green chiles, and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce thickens; turn off the heat.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, place the strips of bacon on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, and cook on High until crisp, about 1 minute per strip; set aside.
  3. 3 Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Drain the potatoes, and add to the skillet. Spoon hot oil over the potatoes; sprinkle with the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Flip the potatoes occasionally, but let them fry until crispy bits form and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels. Microwave on High until warm, about 30 seconds.
  5. 5 Spray a separate skillet with butter flavored cooking spray and cook the eggs over medium heat, whisking them continuously until the eggs are completely set; turn off the heat.
  6. 6 Lay a tortilla flat in front of you. Place some potatoes, scrambled egg, and a strip of bacon on the lower third, leaving about an inch of room from the bottom, and about 1-1/2 inches on the left and right clear for folding the burrito. Spoon on a little of the green chile sauce, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
  7. 7 Fold the left and right edges into the middle about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Take the bottom edge closest to you with the stuffing and pick it up, pulling it OVER the filling, while keeping the sides in place until that edge now touches the tortilla about 7/8 of the way up to the top edge. Check to see that the sides are still tucked well. If they aren't slide them in a bit now that you have the filling covered. Finish by tucking the bottom flap that you pulled over the filling UNDER the filling a bit to seal it, then continue rolling the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Let it rest seam-side down, and it will stay nice and tight. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Stir in the onion, sauerkraut, brown sugar, and chicken broth, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the potatoes and apple slices.
  2. 2 Place the juniper berries, peppercorns, cloves, parsley, and bay leaf into a small cheesecloth square, and tie the ends together to make a spice bag (or place the spices into a stainless steel tea ball). Place the spice bag into the pot, and add the pork chops and kielbasa sausage pieces. Add more chicken broth, if needed, to just cover the ingredients. Bring the pot to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove the sauerkraut, potatoes, and apple slices to the center of a serving platter. Arrange bacon, pork chops, and kielbasa pieces around the outside of the platter.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large, oven-safe skillet on medium heat. Stir in onions until they are all coated in butter. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and well browned, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 Transfer skillet to the stovetop; cook and stir onions over medium heat until they start to brown and stick to the bottom of the pan, about 5 minutes. Pour sherry and vinegar into the pan, and bring to a boil while scraping browned bits of onion off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  4. 4 Place caramelized onions in a large soup pot. Pour in chicken broth, beef broth, and thyme. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam and fat that appear on top. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about an hour. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  6. 6 Generously brush French bread slices with melted butter. Place on a baking sheet and broil in the preheated oven until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes.
  7. 7 Ladle soup into heat-proof bowls, top each bowl with a piece of toasted bread, sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
  8. 8 Broil bowls of soup under the broiler until cheese is golden and bubbly, 5 to 6 minutes.

  1. 1 Season both sides pork chops with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops; sear until lightly brown and no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Add port wine, blackberry juice, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar; bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir cornstarch and water together in a bowl until becomes a paste; stir into sauce. Cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute; reduce heat to low. Stir in blackberries; simmer until just warmed through.
  4. 4 Return chops to the skillet; turn to coat in sauce. Serve chops topped with more sauce.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour again to coat both sides. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until almost cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  5. 5 Heat chicken broth, wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until combined; add to broth mixture and cook until it thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. 6 Place chicken into the prepared baking dish and pour sauce over top.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
