Lasagna Rolls!


Tytus and I make Lasagna Rolls. We kept it simple. Lasagna sheets, ground turkey meat, jar tomato sauce, and many kinds of cheese. If you want to make a bechamel sauce or add ricotta it's up to you. The amount of cheese and sauce to use is also up to you.

You can make the meat and sauce mixture and cook the noodles ahead of time. That way you can later assemble and bake in case you're involving others in making supper. 

The best thing about this is you can pre-prep most of the meal up to a couple of days ahead. The other great advantage is the lasagna roll holds together without resting long. Unlike regular lasagna that may turn into soup and spread out on the plate if not given enough time to set up.

Ingredients:
6 lasagna sheets (about half a box)
1# ground turkey meat
1 to 1 1/2 Jars of your favorite tomato sauce
1 bag mixed cheeses shredded
1 bag mozzarella cheese shredded

Southern Greens in 10 Minutes

Greens are delicious! Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, beet greens...And even swiss chard. In this video, I prepare Swiss chard like a southern green. How do you do that? With pork fat!
This is a quick technique I use to produce some delicious greens in a short amount of time. I use leftover grease from quality hickory smoked bacon, red pepper flake, and fresh garlic. That's about it except for seasoning with salt. Enjoy!

Check out my Kitchen Best Buys! I have been working a lot on this lately! These are some of my top picks of things I use in the kitchen.

Mac and Cheese with 3 Ingredients!

 

Mac and Cheese with 3 ingredients? YES. I see this recipe pop up all over the internet every few years and I want y'all to know, it works! And it's great! If you want to go one step faster buy the cheese already shredded. 

My son Ezra (8 years old) is the pickiest eater in our house and he PREFERS this over the bright yellow shells and cheese in the box. Do you know the one with "almost melted" American cheese in the foil packet? To be clear, we always bought the one that has no artificial preservatives. Good source of calcium. No certified synthetic colors...

Pasta, evaporated milk, cheddar cheese (or Monterrey Jack, anything melty)...water and salt. << Those don't count. Added BONUS it only takes about 12 minutes

Shredded Chicken Tacos!


Shredded Chicken Tacos! Tytus is getting more involved with the process as he feels comfortable tackling each new recipe. This recipe is from Americas Test Kitchen - The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs.  https://www.americastestkitchen.com/kids/recipes/shredded-chicken-tacos

Current News on The Bcookin Show -- We recently purchased a shotgun microphone in order to help with the sound quality. The microphone definitely made the volume louder. BUT unfortunately, it also picked up way more noise in the background. It was supposed to have built-in noise reduction. We did return it and order another option that I researched more heavily. It may be another week before we get to start using it on the videos.

Thank y'all for those who are hanging in there with us! Please remember to like and share our videos and subscribe to our channel if you are on YouTube!

How to Make Guacamole



What is it about guacamole? When those avocados are ripe (and on sale) it brings out the need for guacamole. If the guacamole and salsa are great then I can build the rest of the food around it!

Tytus takes us through the steps of making Guacamole. I'm going to share a few tips for picking avocados, knives for aspiring young chefs, and recommend a cut-resistant glove for extra safety. You can find the recipe HERE.

PIZZA! Start to Finish!



Pizza! Start to Finish! Is a promise we gave you in "trial run 2". We said we would revisit PIZZA in more detail and here we have! There's no food shortage in Barton's house. We say this because you can whip up some dough and throw all kinds of leftovers on top and call it a pizza! LOL The boys and I have fun with this! We use either a pizza stone or a pizza steal in the oven. We have both. Some people feel the need to let it cool down and remove it after use. We leave the stone/steel in there all the time. We cook right on top of it. Doesn't matter if its a sheet tray of cookies or a casserole in a glass dish. Here's a recipe to get you started... Easy Bread and Pizza Dough Recipe
