Here’s one of several cookbooks I plan to scan in and post:

CSA Czech-American Cuisine – A cookbook my Mom got in Chicagoland MAANNYY years ago.  don’t plan on finding a lot of tofu-health-conscious-crunchy-granola recipes in here….

 

 

CarnitasFound this one on facebook, and modified it slightly... instead of the taco seasoning, they called out Safritas, which I cannot find at a typical grocery store in iowa. Additionally, the chicken varient was my own twist. Once the chicken was done, i started dicing it to better season while cooking - and it did have some bite! I might recommend leaving it as one large piece of meat while cooking, and not breaking the meat up until completion of cooking for those not quite into "spicier" foods. I did the tacos individually in a cast iron skillet, but i suspect it would be a lot easier to do large batches on a flat iron grill...

Some basic measurement conversions – I will admit, some of my recipes call for 1/4 cup of one thing, then 4 tbsp of another…. i’ll work on that. In the meantime, this will help!

  • 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons = 1/2 tablespoon
  • 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup
  • 8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup
  • 16 tablespoons = 1 cup
  • 1 cup = 1/2 pint
  • 2 cups = 1 pint
  • 4 cups = 1 quart
  • 2 pints = 1 quart
  • 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
  • 32 ounces = 1 quart
  • 2 quarts = 1/2 gallon
  • 4 quarts = 1 gallon
  • 1 stick of butter = 8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup
