No-Peeking Oven Stew

In an oven proof pot or roaster, layer in any or all of the following raw vegetables:

Onions, cut in large pieces
Peeled garlic cloves
Rutabagas, cut in medium pieces
Carrots
Mushrooms
Potatoes, cut in medium pieces
Celery

Raw stewing beef

Mix 2 cans of tomato soup with one can of water.
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Pour this mixture over meat and vegetables.
Cover very tightly with foil. Put the pot's lid on. Place in a 325 degree F. oven for 3 hours.

ABSOLUTELY NO PEEKING or checking on it ! ! !

When you take it out of the oven, you can stir in some frozen peas. Do not heat the peas up, just stir them in. Do not thicken the stew. Just serve and eat. The meat should be so tender and juicy that you can cut it with a spoon.

Eggnog Pancakes

Eggnog Pancakes 1 1/2 cups eggnog 2 eggs 2 tbsp canola oil 1 tbsp vanilla extract 2 cups flour 2 tbsp baking powder 2 tbsp granulated sugar 1 tsp salt Beat eggs with whisk until fluffy. Add eggnog and whisk together with eggs until frothy. Add oil and vanilla and whisk together. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix with wooden spoon just until no dry is showing. Add to griddle on medium-low heat with spoon. Turn after bubbles are popped in about 1/3 of the pancake. Serve with butter and syrup. The kids absolutely loved these. This is my adaptation of a traditional pancake recipe. The vanilla is something I've always added. Another option that I like to do to make it healthier for them is I substitue 1/2 cup of the flour with rolled oats
