The Silly Chef Chronicles: Sharon's Kitchen Tales

 I have a couple of cats who have tried and liked those squeezable treat tubes that they sell with puréed chicken or tuna.  They are really expensive though for the amount of chicken or tuna that you receive.  I decided to try to make my cats a homemade version to see if they would like it.  I boiled some boneless skinless chicken breast meat and then cut it up and puréed it in my single serve blender with some water.  I then put the puréed chicken into a small silicone freezer mold so the little sections could be frozen and popped out like ice cubes when I want to give some to the cats.  I put a little into a bowl before I froze the rest.  Surprisingly, my cat who normally only likes dry food and dry treat really liked it and licked it all up from the bowl.  This really surprised me.  This is great if I came up with something that she likes other than just dry food and treats! 👍 She has never wanted to eat any canned cat food or even any pi...

 Don’t decide to cook some pierogies and then have your head off in thought land, and then throw the thawed pierogies into the frying pan with the melted butter before you have even remembered to cook the onions.  In addition, don’t skip taking the pierogies back out of the frying pan before you attempt to cook the onions.  This is not the best way to go about cooking pierogies with onions.  The final result is yet to be determined.  Well, the onions aren’t super browned, but they are cooked and should still taste fine.  A lot of flipping and stirring on low heat saved the pierogies. 😅 It does work well to cook kielbasa in an air fryer.  It comes out good and I blot up the excess grease with paper towels.  This is an easy meal that tastes good and requires little effort. I guess I should use up this corn that is left from Labor Day.  That was a week ago already!  November will be here before we know it!  Corn comes out great steame...

This is something that I have learned about Keebler Graham Pie Crusts in both the full and mini sizes.  They will go bad and taste bad even before their expiration dates have been reached.  They are not good for storing for any length of time even though the expiration dates would lead you to believe that they should be ok.  After being purchased, they should be used soon while they are still fresh.
