Anyone up for trading recipes?

I love using the slow cooker when I'm camping. I can throw everything in and set the temp and go off and enjoy myself. This is a favorite of mine from the Taste of Home Cookbook.

Turkey Bean Bake

1 lb ground turkey (or beef, or chicken) or for me it is usually deer or elk.
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (16 oz) baked beans
1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed & drained
½ c ketchup
2 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS molasses
1 TBS red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1 tsp prepared mustard
¼ tsp pepper

In large skillet, cook the meat, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2 qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 4-6 servings.

[ I have added garbanzo beans or white beans (whatever is on hand) and put in slow cooker. Since everything is cooked, it just needs to heat up good. ]

My DW's favorite "recipe" is reservations!

The Magna only has a 2 burner cooktop and 5.5 Gal of propane. I expect us to quit RV'ing before I ever have to fill it!!

6 mo ago I found out I have some food allergies but GF isn't one of them. Mine are chicken, baker's yeast, some chemicals in foods such as blue #2 and polysorbate 80 and although I'm not allergic to chocolate, I am allergic to one of the "unknown" ingredients. I am having to re-think all my recipes and learn to do substitutions. Cooking has never been my forte so it's been a challenge. Having a borderline diabetic in the family also limits anything with sugar and starchy foods. Your thread has been a help.

With all this being said, I am looking at the recipes to see which ones I can substitute turkey instead of chicken, etc. I have made copies of several and I am only part way through.

Do you have a bread recipe, without yeast of course, that will come out like store bought bread? I have tried several but they don't make very good bread for sandwiches.

Thanks

This one worked pretty good!

1 Hour Yeast Free Bread
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 eggs
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup yogurt
1/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoons salt
1-2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for sprinkling on top of the bread)

Heat the oven two 375°. Line an 8x4" bread pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl butter, the 2 eggs, sugar, yogurt and milk. With the paddle attachment on, stir on low speed until blended.

In a separate bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and sesame seeds.
Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ones mixing on low speed to combine.

Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Sprinkle more sesame seeds on top, optional.

Bake in preheated for 50 minutes.

geocacher this one worked really well too. Sorry it took so long I had surgery and our s&b is in closing mode.

Yeast Free Bread

3 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cups bread flour
3 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4-cup vegetable oil
2 cups water
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

In a large mixing bowl, sift whole-wheat flour, bread flour, salt and baking powder. Sift three more times. Mix in 1/4 cup oil. In a separate bowl, dissolve honey in water. Stir into flour mixture. Mix just until sticky dough pulls together.

Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and divide into four pieces. Form pieces into desired shape. Place loaves on lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Thanks Sohapi! I will have to give them a try. Hope you're doing better and hope the house closes in good timing for you. We put ours up for sale when DH retired thinking it would take a while to sale. It sold in one week and we ended up living in the little miniMH we had at that time (22') for 7 weeks. When DH had his last day, we moved into the mountains in the old homestead. It was a good trial cuz if we survived that, we'd survive retirement! LOL.

LOL.....we did the same thing with the house. Only ours took 18 days plus the 30 for the buyers financing.
We have a 45' RV that because of the work my DH is in we bought as we are on the road till fist snow fall.

However we sold the house and he quit his job for another job. I have had 3 surgeries since Dec. but this should be it now,

Let me know what you think of the bread.
