I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Homemade Onion Gravy

This easy onion gravy is a British classic traditionally served with bangers and mash or toad in the hole. But it is equally delicious on roasts, chops, mashed potatoes or fries. 

 Ingredients:

1 large onion, sliced

2 tsps bacon drippings

1 tsp butter

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dry mustard

1 1/2 cups beef broth

1 tbsp flour

salt and pepper to taste 

Heat a skillet to medium high heat then add the bacon fat and onion. Cook about 5 minutes to brown, then reduce heat to medium and continue cooking another 5 minutes. Whisk flour into 2 tbsps of the broth, set aside. Add mustard and the remaining broth to the skillet, then whisk in the flour/2 tbsp broth roux. Simmer on medium low for 10-15 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.

Serves 2-3

BBQ Chicken Gravy from BBQ sauce

If you have some BBQ sauce in the fridge like Bullseye, Sweet Baby Ray's, Kraft, Jack Daniel's, etc., and you want some BBQ gravy for your chicken and fries here's all you need:

1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch

Whisk everything together and bring to a boil.  Simmer a couple of minutes and your gravy is ready! Adjust the broth/cornstarch ratio to suit your taste for either thicker or thinner gravy. Can't get easier than that.
