A new Look for Cheryl “Cheffie Cooks” Wiser!
Quite by incident today I was starting a tenth blog here on WP (yes, I know…cray-cray) you’ll love the new site, too. As I was thinking about this I decided after 2-1/2 years running on the same theme it was time to change (change is good-Y’All!), on my main web site. I hope you like the new look and find it easy to view and comment (I love to hear from you).
The New site is https://allaboutappetizers.wordpress.com/
I have posted on it already and hope you’ll stop by to visit.
See YOU!

Italian Pot Roast with Rotini Pasta
Italian Pot Roast Beef with Rotini pasta. So easy and delicious in the slow cooker. I use a 4-5 pounds chuck roast (or rump roast), sear both sides in canola oil, s & p, to taste, move to slow cooker, add one 22 ounces marinara or tomato sauce (your choice), one teaspoon garlic powder, one teaspoon basil, one teaspoon oregano, 1/2 onion sliced, cook on low heat 4-6 hours.
Boil Rotini pasta as per instructions, add butter and plate. Remove pot roast (it’ll fall apart), ladle or spoon on several helpings and enjoy! (I always have freshly grated cheese on the table!).
We just love this dish with a side salad and garlic toast!
Hope you enjoy.

Baked Black Pepper & Sour Cream Chicken
Supper Tonight!
I brought along two frozen chicken fryers, thawed them, cut them up and marinated them in sour cream and black pepper in the refrigerator for one hour. I coated them well with seasoned bread crumbs, place on two rimmed non stick sheet pans at 425 F with a tent foil (turned them after 20 minutes of bake time) and baked for 20 more minutes until golden brown. Oh Yum!
Having a relaxing time while Hurricane Matthew slams our coast in Florida!
See You tomorrow!

___________________________________________________________________________________________
We had an early supper and the gang are on a hayride with their Grandpa and Dad; their mission is to get some pumpkins to paint faces on. lol
Out from hiding…
So I came out from under the bed this morning-MoM said I needed to because we were going to be here for awhile! I have my favorite blanket and toys! I am a silly boy MoM says! BAHAHAHAHA…
Hope you have a great weekend!
Love, Tyler

Just Explainin”…
MoM was telling me about the trip and that I was going to go along. She has a way of assuring me that everything is fine. Her touching hand always lets me know she loves me. People do not think kitty cats are smart or communicative but rest assure I am because of the time my MoM spends with me since I was a baby kitten. I sure do love her.
See You maybe tomorrow…
Love, Tyler

Supper Tonight!
Beef Chuck Roast slow cooked with carrots, onions and potatoes. Oh my yum. I let the roast cook for 6 hours on low in the slow cooker, I only cooked the veggies about 1-1/2 hours of the cooking time. The meat was so tender it fell apart easily. We are happy campers! Campfire tonight with s’mores for dessert! Woo-Hoo.
See YOU!

A problem with Word Press Reader!
So myself and another (non food related Blogger) are communicating with the Public Forum to which no one knows why since last week the Reader does not post our photo’s? Hum…really. For those of you who actually pay for a .com site (unlike me who won’t I do not really see an advantage there). But, then I am not into statistics. However, what is right is right, and when the problem is with WP I feel they should bend backwards, forwards to resolve the issue. Wouldn’t you agree? So the problem is simply the photo will not go into the reader with content text. Up to last week this was NEVER an issue.
My friends have expressed concern too that they were not showing up in the reader at all. Now then why is that and they were in fact .com sites?!
I can manually enter their sites to view that isn’t the issue. What is in my humble opinion is total inconsistency on the part of WP without regard to resolving the issues…Makes me wonder…How about you?
If you do not see a photo in the reader from any of my 9 websites, just click visit and the photo and content will appear on the site.
See YOU! Keep smiling…
Cheryl
Chocolate Mousse
For PHOTO click visit (WP has a problem with reader and photo’s and no-one knows why that is???).
Wow is this good! 4 ounces chocolate (of your choice-I used Milk Chocolate) chopped, 1 cup Cold evaporated Milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract add these ingredients into your blender and process until smooth. 2 cups Heavy Cream, whipped until soft peaks form, fold into chocolate mixture, place in dessert cups and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with Chocolate curls.
OH yum!
Enjoy!

see YOU!
Hide and Seek!
I was messing with MoM, hiding my face! She just laughs at me sometimes-most times! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Have a great Tuesday!

Clam and Potato Cream Soup
Delicious soup, easy to make. One can 5.5 ounce clams in natural juices. 2 Yukon gold Potatoes peeled and diced, one celery stalk diced finely, one shallot diced finely, 1 cup Milk, 1/2 cup light cream, 1 cup low sodium Vegetable stock, one tablespoon Old Bay Seafood Seasoning, fresh chopped parsley, pepper to taste, add croutons, crackers, or a side of bread and butter. I like to simmer all ingredients 20-25 minutes (or until potatoes are tender). Stir frequently.
Ladle in soup bowls and dig in. We love oyster crackers-the real ones (when I can find them!).
Enjoy!
Cheryl “Cheffie Cooks” Wiser.
See YOU!
Waiting…Patiently…
I am waiting on MoM she was baking today and doing laundry! I of course, must have my head stroked by her, and hugs and kisses or my day is not complete! She’ll be in soon to give me some attention. Woo Hoo!
Hope your Monday is a good one!
