Food Wednesday

 Hi Everyone. 

Before I get into food I want to answer some questions about the Tens Machine. Mine is very old. I think we got it in 1994. Today Tens Machines are digital and cost a lot less. You can get them in most drug stores for $40.00 or more. Amazon has them for less expensive. So what does a Tens Machine do?

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy involves the use of low-voltage electric currents to treat pain. A small device delivers the current at or near nerves. TENS therapy blocks or changes your perception of pain. 

Most importantly it works. My arm is healed.

This is mine, old but still works.

You can adjust strength and pulse.

Now for food and Food Wednesday with Kathy

I really like pot pies. Homemade or store bought. However, I wanted to make pot pie without crust. Can I say OMG good!

These are chicken, potatoes and carrots canned from last year. The peas are frozen from last years garden too.	Defrost peas in cool water.
With a bit of butter in the pan heat up potatoes and carrots.	Once heated through give a rough mash.
Add the chicken heat through then add the peas.	Make a poultry gravy.
Spoon out some gravy on the plate.	add a helping of pot pie mix.
Then top with more gravy.	You can add any other kind of ingredients, like onions, celery, etc. Also any kind of meat or go vegan with firm tofu.

 

Now what would a week be without pizza?

You will need

2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast 

and 1 1/2 C warm water. 2 Tbs sugar

1/4 C  oil plus a little more to brush the bowl.

2 tsp salt

4 C all-purpose flour. Plus a little for the work surface.

Pour 1 1/2 C warm water into large bowl: sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Wish sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl the turn over so both top and bottom are oiled. Cover bowl with plastic or a T towel and set aside in a warm draft-free place until dough has doubled. This should take about an hour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently kneed 1 or 2 times. Roll out and place on pan to be cook on. Add your pizza ingredients and bake in 450°F (233°C) Bake until dough is brown around the edges and ingredients are hot. In my oven this takes about 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
