Comments (3)Pepper Steak Sandwiches Warm sandwiches using deli roast beef 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 1 medium green pepper, thinly sliced 1 medium red pepper, thinly sliced 1/2 cup mayonnaise, divided 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing 3/4 lb thinly sliced deli roast beef 5 sandwich rolls; small sub buns 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese In a large skillet, saute the onion and peppers in 2 tbsp mayonnaise until crisp-tender. Remove vegetables and keep warm. Reduce heat. Add the Italian dressing, roast beef and remaining mayonnaise to the skillet. Cook and stir until heated through, 5 minutes.

Comments (44)Sorry, left out the paint recipe: I use latex paint in Satin (one was Valspar, one was Sherwin Williams). Both look lighter in the pics than in real life, they're dark cream colors. I mix hot water with Plaster of Paris to make a smooth and creamy consistency, then mix it with the paint. It goes on very nice, and has a wonderful feel after waxing. I don't like my pieces to get too flat or chalky, so waxing is important, as is sanding between coats. I lightly distressed both pieces. I use less Plaster of Paris than most people. I used too much on a practice piece once, and it was like pure plaster, a total nightmare. I did not prime either piece, just cleaned them first. I want to say, I used to cringe in horror at painting old wood, but I'm really liking this chalk paint recipe, and how it turns out. And I only paint if the wood is too damaged for us DIYers to restore. My partner did strip and restore both tops here, the wood grain came out beautiful. We're currently working on a sofa table.....harlequin pattern on the table top. I'll post pics when it's done. :-)...See MoreI'll share my recipes, if you'll share yours October 21, 2010
Comments (8)That sounds good Luckygardner! (except for the cilantro, lol) Apple and Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Everyday Food) You can serve this cake warm with a dollop of applesauce or lightly sweetened sour cream. Store the cooled cake in the pan, wrapped tightly with plastic, up to 5 days. For the crumb topping: 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp coarse salt For the batter: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp coarse salt 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar 4 large eggs 1 cup sour cream 2 Granny Smith or other baking apples (about 1 lb) peeled, cored and diced into medium pieces 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped Preheat oven to 350* In a medium bowl combine the topping ingredients. With a pastry cutter or your hands blend until butter is incorporated and mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use. Butter and flour an angel-food cake pan or 14-cup Bundt pan. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In another large bowl, with electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on high, scraping down bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl after each addition. Add sour cream and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture and beat just until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in apples and pecans; transfer batter to baking pan. Top with crumb topping and using a butter knife, gently fold some of topping into batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes clean, 60-70 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool....See MoreWould you consider removing your only (small) tub for shower pan?
Comments (31)We have bathtubs with showers in both of our bathrooms, and we both mostly take baths instead of showers. We also have a hot tub outdoors, although I would rather have a swimming pool. A shower alone would not do it for me, and I am fine taking showers in the bathtub, when I want a shower. When I lived in San Francisco in my 20s, I remember having bathtubs with showers, but the bathrooms were always somewhat cold, and so I mostly took showers so that I could get out quickly. One of the main reasons I left SF was the cold weather....See Moremarcydc
