I have Rachael Ray's recipe for vodka sauce. She calls it "You Won't Be Single Long" sauce. LOL! I haven't tried it because Publix makes a delicious one.

It's a little early for the holidays but, then again, I expect the stores will start playing Christmas carols any day now :-)

CHRISTMAS CRACK

1 12.8-ounce box Rice Chex cereal
1 12-ponce box Golden Grahams cereal
1 7-ounce bag shredded coconut
1 4-ounce bag slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups butter (3...yes 3...sticks of butter)
2 cups sugar
2 cups corn syrup

Combine Rice Chex and Golden Grahams, coconut and almonds in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
In a large sauce pan, cook butter, sugar and corn syrup to the "soft ball" stage...about 234 degrees on a candy thermometer. Pour over cereal mixture and stir until all is well coated. Pour mixture out onto 2 large cookie sheets to cool. Stir it around occasionally to prevent clumping. Store in an airtight container.

I'm making roasted tomato sauce. This is the first time it's been this hot, usually it's fall-ish weather.

Buy one bushel of romas and wonder where to put them.
Sort through them for any rotten ones. Put them outside overnight where it cools off. Lug them back inside in the morning when the sun starts shining on them.

Cut several in half and dump in a roasting pan with chopped onions, whole cloves garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil and oregano and roast at 400. Stirring several times.

When they look done, dump in a large stock pot and whiz with an immersion blender. (I'm about at that stage now).

Find containers and freeze. Beg from the neighbours, as I realize I don't have enough.

I also have the butter, onion and tomato sauce on the stove to freeze as well.

BEEF STEW WITH BACON (Williams-Sonoma) (Slow Cooker) 4 oz. thick-cut bacon, chopped 3 Tbs. flour 1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste 3 lb. boneless beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and cut into chunks 3/4 lb. fresh cremini mushrooms, halved if large 1/2 lb. baby carrots 1/2 lb. frozen pearl onions 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup dry red wine 1 cup beef broth 2 Tbs. tomato paste 1 Tbs. minced fresh rosemary In a large fry pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off the drippings into a small heatproof bowl, leaving about 1 Tbs. drippings in the pan. Set the pan, reserved drippings and bacon aside. In a sealable plastic bag, combine the flour, the 1 tsp. salt and the 1/2 tsp. pepper. Add the beef chunks and shake to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Return the fry pan to medium-high heat. When the drippings are hot, add half of the beef chunks and cook, turning once, until well browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining beef chunks, adding the reserved drippings if needed. Scatter the mushrooms, carrots, onions and garlic on top. Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the wine, broth and tomato paste. Mix well, bring to a boil and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Pour the contents of the pan over the vegetables and beef. Cover and cook on the high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours or the low-heat setting for 8 to 9 hours. The beef should be very tender. Stir in the reserved bacon and the rosemary. Cook, uncovered, on the high-heat setting for 10 minutes more to thicken the sauce slightly. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Serves 6.

Since I just posted my own meatloaf creation on the meatloaf thread I will post it here too. Saucy stuffed meatloaf: 3Lbs lean ground beef(can use less meat) 1/2cup raw oatmeal 2Tbs Worcestershire sauce 2Tbs Cajun seasoning (I prefer Tony Chachere) 2Tbs mustard(yellow) 4-5 chopped Roma tomatoes(fresh not canned) 1lg chopped onion(purple if possible) 1jar RAGU Roasted garlic Parmesan sauce** In mixing bowl add meat,oatmeal,worst sauce,seasoning,mustard. Mix well with hands. In a large rectangular baking dish spray pam (NOT a loaf pan). Add the meat and form into loaf shape, then make a well down the length in the center of the loaf. In the well add some of the chopped tomatoes and onion. Squeeze the meat closed over the top of the well. Pour remaining tomato and onions around the loaf. Pour the RAGU sauce over it all. You can add a little milk to the jar to"rinse" it and get all out (not much don't want to water it down). Bake at 350 for an hour- check for doneness(clear juices). Let cool for 5 min or so then skim off excess oil or soak it up with bread and discard bread. *Optional ingredient chopped mushrooms. *Optional sprinkle top with grated cheese **If you can not find that specific RAGU sauce one of the other white RAGU sauces can be used like the Alfredo, and add garlic. Roasted Garlic Parmesan
