I'm hoping that we get more this year. It's nice to have all that meat in the freezer. The cost of butchering the deer is negligible, really. I'm not a big meat eater and I don't eat venison but with 3 meat loving males in the house, a freezer full of venison is a good thing (Especially in the this economy. And you can't get any more organic than wild game).<br />
<br />
Venison Stew (serves 8-10)<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1. 5 russet potatoes, peel and cut into 1 inch pieces<br />
2. 12 baby carrots, cut in half<br />
3. 1/2 red onion, quartered<br />
4. Two shallots, roughly chopped<br />
5. 2 stalks of celery, roughly chopped<br />
6. 1 cup of water<br />
7. 2 garlic cloves, minced<br />
8. 2 tsp. of gluten free Worcestershire sauce<br />
9. 1 Tbs. parsley<br />
10. 1 bay lea<br />
11. 1 tsp. paprika<br />
12. salt and pepper to taste<br />
13. 2 pounds venison meat (steaks, loin chops, etc) seasoned and cut into 1 inch pieces<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
1. My guys don't enjoy the gamey taste of the venison so before I cut it into chunks, I seasoned it with an all purpose seasoning (I used one from our local grocery, but something from Emeril or Paul Prudhomme would work nicely. You could even make your own.)<br />
<br />
2. Add all the ingredients into the crock pot. Stir to mix everything together. Cook on low for 10-12 hours.<br />
<br />
I used the 2 shallots because I had them on hand. You could use 2 onions quartered instead. Also, if you aren't a fan of venison or you don't have any on hand, beef, buffalo, elk, etc. would work just fine also.<br />

It turned out really well (so I'm told. I don't eat fish. But the family raved about it)<br /><br />Catfish<br />1. 1 cup gluten free all purpose baking mix (I used Bob Redmill)<br />2. 1/2 cup cracker crumbs (I crushed <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ener-Foods-Cracker-Wheat-Gluten/dp/B0030HYAK6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1297865528&sr=8-2">Ener-G</a> gf crackers in a food processor and didn't have enough so I added some gf tortilla crumbs - 3 tbs - to top it off)<br />3. 1/2 tsp garlic powder<br />4. 1/4 tsp onion powder<br />5. 1 tsp salt<br />6. 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper<br />7. 1.5 cups of buttermilk<br />8. 4-5 large catfish fillets<br />9. 2 cups of canola oil (if pan frying)<br /><br />1. I used a fryer. Make sure to get the oil to the desired temperature, about 350 degrees F (or just move the dial to the "fish" symbol and wait for the green light to come on like I did). If you are using a pan, use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and have about 1 inch of oil in the skillet (to float). Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.<br /><br />2. Combine the 1st six ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together. Once combined put your flour mixture in a large, wide pan or baking dish. You will dredge the fish through the flour so if you are using long pieces of fish, you want to make sure your dish is also long. Put the buttermilk in a large, wide, shallow bowl. <br /><br />3. Dip each fillet in the buttermilk and then dredge the fish through the flour mixture making sure to get both sides evenly coated. Set the fillet on a large platter or baking sheet. Continue with each fillet. Refrigerate until ready to fry or begin to fry fish.<br /><br />Frying:<br /><br />If you have large fillets, it's best to fry one fillet at a time. In a fryer, I immersed mine for 6 minutes. The time will vary depending on the size of your fillet. You'll know when it's done when it is golden brown on the outside and the inside of the fish is flaky white.<br />If pan frying, it will take 4-5 minutes per side. Remember to add more oil if needed between each frying and wait for the extra oil to heat back up.<br /><br />Place fried fillet on a paper towel lined baking sheet and place in a warm oven to keep the catfish warm.<br /><br />If you can't find catfish,, any white fish will work with this recipe, just adjust your frying time for the size of your fillets.<br /><br />I'm giving away a copy of Allergic Girls new book!

We've been cooking, but we've pretty much been cooking our tried and true recipes.<br /><br />Last week I received an e-mail from <a href="http://www.oliverslabels.com/">Oliver's Labels</a> and they asked me if I'd do a review on their allergy related labels. <a href="http://www.oliverslabels.com/designs/#Allergy">Click here</a> to see the different designs that they offer. Because my son has multiple allergies, they sent us the "No Nuts, No Gluten, No Eggs" label. It wasn't clear to me from the website but you can get multiple allergens listed on one label.<br /><br />The labels are really nice and seem like they would hold up well. The graphics are full color and are guaranteed not to rub off. They also said that the machines that they use to print the labels are eco-friendly. That's a nice bonus.<br /><br />They also offer a lost and found system called <a href="http://www.oliverslabels.com/foundit/">found it codes</a>. If your child loses an item the nice person who finds it can go to a special place on the Oliver Label website to virtually turn it in and Oliver's Labels will help you get it back. They said they included these in the samples, but I didn't see them in my envelope.<br /><br />The labels look really nice and I'll be looking into the shoe labels that they offer. My issue with the allergy label is that it says "No Nuts". Some kids are allergic to peanuts and some kids are allergic to tree nuts (or both) and I think it would be nice to differentiate. Some people don't even know what a tree nut is. The other is the "No Gluten". Technically it works for my son because he is allergic to wheat, rye, barley and oat, but that can be a little confusing. He's not allergic to gluten, he's allergic to the proteins in wheat, rye, barley, and oat. Am I nit picking on that? Yes, probably. Do I have an answer on how to correct that issue. No, I really don't. I'm just bringing it up.<br /><br />Over all I really like the labels and the company itself. I recommend them and like I said, they more than likely have found a future customer in me.<br /><br />Thank you Oliver's Labels.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/anniepok/janeen2.gif" /></p>ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564925528294154794.post-73922485822264751282009-06-29T08:54:00.002-04:002009-06-29T09:13:29.776-04:00Steak and potato kebabs with creamy cilantro dressingSteak and Potato Kabobs (kind of a meal on a stick)<br /><br />This recipe is from Eating Well magazine. I modified it a little bit for personal taste, but it got RAVE reviews.<br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />1. 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, minced (I used a 1/4 cup because I'm not a big fan of cilantro)<br />2. 2 tbs. red-wine vinegar or cider vinegar<br />3. 2 tbs. reduced fat sour cream<br />4. 1 small garlic clove, minced<br />5. 1 tsp. chile powder<br />6. 1/2 tsp. ground cumin<br />7. 1/2 tsp. salt, divided<br />8. new or baby red potatoes<br />9. 1.25 pounds strip steak, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces<br />10. 2 poblano peppers or 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (we used sweet green pepper)<br />11. 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil<br />12. 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1 inch pieces<br /><br />Directions<br /><br />1. Combine cilantro, vinegar, sour cream, garlic, chile powder, cumin and 1/4 tsp. salt and set aside.<br />2. Preheat grill to high.<br />3. Place potatoes in microwave safe container. Cover and microwave on High until just tender when pierced with a fork, 3-3.5 minutes.<br />4. Toss the potatoes, steak and pepper pieces with oil and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Thread the potatoes, steak, peppers and onion chunks onto 8 skewers*. Grill, turning once or twice, until the steak reaches the desired doneness, about 6 minutes for medium. Serve the kebabs with the reserved sauce.<br /><br />* if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before grilling. This will help keep them from burning. The potatoes are heavy so use metal skewers if you have them.<br /><br />I made the sauce and it was perfect for the meal. But it did not seem like it would be enough for 4 people so I doubled it. And in doing so it seems VERY vinegar-y (is that a word?). So I just kept adding sour cream and spices until it tasted like I thought it should.<br />To make it dairy free, sub <a href="http://www.tofutti.com/ss.shtml">Tofutti Better than Sour Cream</a> or other preferred safe dairy free sour cream.<br />Since I'm not a red meat eater, I made a few for myself with chicken. Keep in mind if you do that, the chicken takes longer to cook. Put the chicken kebabs on first or you'll be like me and still standing around the grill while everyone is else is eating steak.<br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/anniepok/janeen2.gif" /></p>ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564925528294154794.post-30895550796795856652009-04-23T17:32:00.003-04:002009-04-23T17:37:00.001-04:00Chili-Lime DrumsticksChili-Lime Drumsticks (from All*You magazine)<br /><br />Ingredients<br />1. 16 chicken drumsticks<br />2.

But you could still make it dairy free and I'll try and sub things where I can:<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />1. 10 ounce worth of condensed cream of chicken soup (see recipe below)<br />2. 1/4 sour cream or dairy free sour cream (I used real sour cream, but I'm sure that dairy free would work too)<br />3. 2 tbs. milk, soy milk, rice milk or milk alternative of your choice (we used soy and it was fine)<br />4. 1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce (eliminate this if you have a fish allergy. I didn't have any so I skipped this step anyway)<br />5. 1/4 tsp. salt<br />6. 1# boneless, skinless free range chicken breast<br />7. 1 med. onion, chopped<br />8. 1 8 ounce package of sliced mushrooms<br />9. 1 12 ounce bag of gluten free pasta<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />1. Beat soup, sour cream/sour cream sub, milk/milk sub, Worcester sauce and salt with a wire whisk until blended; set aside. Start boiling water for pasta.<br /><br />2. Cut chicken breast into 1 inch pieces. Spray skillet with safe cooking spray and cook chicken over medium heat until cooked through. Remove from skillet.<br /><br />3. Cook pasta and drain. While pasta is cooking, spray skillet with cooking spray. Cook onions in skillet over medium heat until slightly transparent, add in mushrooms. Cook approximately 5-6 minutes more until mushrooms begin to soften. Reduce heat to low and stir in soup mixture and chicken. Cook 3-4 minutes until mixture is heated through. Do not over cook. Serve over gluten free noodles.<br /><br /><strong>Condensed soup recipe</strong> (from www.foodallergyfaq.blogspot.com):<br /><strong>Basic Cream Soup Condensed</strong><br />Melt 3 Tbsp. safe margarine in sauce pan. Blend in 3 Tbsp. safe flour and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook and stir until bubbly. Using wire whisk, stir in one cup of safe milk, stock, or combination. Cook just until smooth and thick. Makes slightly over 1 cup and is the same as a 10 oz. can of undiluted condensed soup.<br />Options:<br />Cream of chicken: Use chicken broth or safe bouillon as half the liquid. Add 1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning and some diced chicken.<br />Cream of mushroom: Saute 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms and 1 Tbsp. finely chopped onion in safe margarine before adding the flour.<br />Cream of celery: See mushroom, but use ½ cup celery instead of mushrooms.<br />You can vary the flavor by adding curry powder, garlic, onion, celery salt, lemon juice, chili powder, parsley, chopped veggies, chives, etc.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/anniepok/janeen2.gif" /></p>ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564925528294154794.post-56205982702086713462009-01-16T15:03:00.003-05:002009-01-16T15:17:16.258-05:00Slow cooker BBQ beefDirections:<br /><br />1. 5-6 pound beef brisket - trim off excess fat<br />2. 2 cups safe BBQ sauce (we use either Cattlemen's or Country Bob's)<br />3. 2 Tbs. brown sugar<br />4. 2 tsp. gluten free soy sauce<br />5. 1 tsp. garlic salt<br />6. 1/2 tsp. onion powder<br />7. 1/8 tsp. paprika<br />8. 1/8 tsp. chili powder<br />9. 1/2 tsp. dry mustard<br />10. black pepper to taste<br /><br />Instructions:<br /><br />1.

The original recipe came from <a href="http://www.eatingwell.com/">http://www.eatingwell.com/</a> and I had to tweak it a little to make it allergy friendly. This could easily become our new favorite dish.<br /><br />(<a href="http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/hunters_chicken_stew.html">http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/hunters_chicken_stew.html</a> )<br /><em>Hunter’s Chicken is found across Northern Italy, with many variations. This version uses meaty bone-in chicken things and is full of onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. It’s also delicious served over egg noodles.</em><br />Makes 8 servings<br /><br />ACTIVE TIME: 1 hour<br /><br />TOTAL TIME: 2 1/2 hours<br /><br />EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy<br /><br />2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided<br />3 medium onions, finely chopped<br />2 cloves garlic, minced<br />1/2 cup all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Redmill All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Mix)<br />12 bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 pounds), skin removed, trimmed<br />1 teaspoon salt, divided<br />1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste<br />1 cup dry white wine or vermouth (I was out of Vegan wine so I subbed Gluten free/Dairy Free chicken broth here)<br />1 1/2 pounds button mushrooms, halved or quartered, depending on size<br />4 plum tomatoes, chopped<br />1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (We like Pacific brand but any Gluten Free/Dairy free brand will work<br />2 bay leaves<br />2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 3/4 teaspoon dried<br />1 1/3 cups cornmeal (make sure it's gluten free)<br />6 cups cold water<br />1 teaspoon salt<br />1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil<br /><br />1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions are very soft and translucent, 2 to 4 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a bowl; set aside. Remove the pot from the heat.<br />2. Place gluten free flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour. Gently shake off any excess.<br />3. Cook the chicken in 2 batches in the Dutch oven, using 1 tablespoon oil for each batch. Cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.<br />4. Pour wine (or vermouth or chicken broth) into the pot and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, tomatoes, broth, bay leaves and rosemary. Return the reserved onions to the pan. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices, making sure each piece is partially submerged. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover the pan and cook, gently stirring once or twice, until the chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.<br />5. Meanwhile, combine cornmeal, water and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Partially cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and very creamy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, while you finish the stew.<br />6. Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Skim or blot any visible fat from the surface. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the pan.<br />7. Gently stir in basil. Serve the stew over the polenta.<br /><br />NUTRITION INFORMATION: Per serving: 431 calories; 17 g fat (4 g sat, 8 g mono); 101 mg cholesterol; 31 g carbohydrate; 33 g protein; 3 g fiber; 706 mg sodium; 794 mg potassium.<br />Nutrition bonus: Potassium (23% daily value), Iron (20% dv), Magnesium & Vitamin C (15% dv).<br />2 Carbohydrate Servings<br />Exchanges: 1 1/2 starch, 1 vegetable, 4 lean meat, 1 fat<br /><br />MAKE AHEAD TIP: Make polenta (Step 5) about 1 hour before serving.

One thing I bought was plump blueberries. I was going to make a blueberry cobbler, but the boys insisted on muffins. The muffins turned out totally delicious. Of course Older Boy won't eat them now because he didn't realize that they'd have REAL blueberries. He's used to the fake little blueberry specks you get in processed food. He's seriously anti fruit and that really bothers me. Good thing I figured out that the muffins are only 4 points each at <a href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/">http://www.weightwatchers.com/</a>. Guess they'll make a good breakfast or snack item. The Little Man can only eat so many and the recipe made 17. If I freeze them, they fall out of favor and then no one eats them.<br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />1. 1/2 cup dairy free margarine<br />2. 1 cup white sugar<br />3. 1/4 cup brown sugar<br />4. 1 teaspoon of salt<br />5. 4 oz. organic applesauce<br />6. 1 eggs worth of Ener-G egg replacer, prepared<br />7. 1.5 cups Bette Hagman Feather Light Rice Flour<br />8. .5 cup Sorghum Flour<br />9. 2 tsp. gluten free baking powder<br />10. .5 cup milk alternative (I used vanilla Silk)<br />11. 1 Tablespoon lemon juice<br />12. 2 cups of blueberries<br /><br /><br />Directions<br /><br />1. Preheat oven to 375 and line muffin tin with paper liners.<br />2. In a large bowl, mix together margarine, white sugar, brown sugar, salt and lemon juice until fairly smooth. Beat in applesauce and egg replacer.<br />3. In another bowl, mix together Feather Light Rice Flour, Sorghum Flour and baking powder. Use a small amount of this mixture to cover blueberries (this helps keep them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin). Mix in the flour and milk alternative, alternating each. Gently fold in blueberries.<br />4. Spoon batter into the lined muffin cups filling cups almost to the top.<br />3. Bake for 30 minutes in oven until muffin tops are slightly browned and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan or eating.<br /><br /><a href="http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/JaneenZum/?action=view&current=IMG_6328-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/JaneenZum/IMG_6328-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/anniepok/janeen2.gif" /></p>ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564925528294154794.post-71289015691201547682008-07-10T18:55:00.003-04:002008-07-10T19:06:30.627-04:00Honey-soy grilled pork chops (w/ rice)This is another recipe from Everyday Food Magazine (Martha Stewart). I didn't need to do a lot of tweaking to make this one friendly. And everyone enjoyed it.<br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />1. Vegetable oil, for grates<br />2. 1 cup long grain white rice (we eat a lot of rice in our house so I made 4 cups of brown rice)<br />3. 2 Tbs. rice vinegar<br />4. 1/4 tsp. red-pepper flakes<br />5. salt and ground pepper<br />6. 2 Tbs. honey<br />7. 1 tsp. wheat free soy sauce (San-J)<br />8. 1 tsp. finely grated peeled fresh ginger<br />9. 4 bone-in pork rib chops (8-10 oz each)<br /><br />Directions<br /><br />1. Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Cook rice according to package instructions. With a fork, stir in vinegar and red-pepper flakes; season with salt. Cover and set aside.<br /><br />2. Make a glaze: Combine honey, wheat free soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Grill until opaque throughout. 5-7 minutes per side. Brush pork with glaze, and grill 30 seconds more per side. Transfer pork to a plate.<br /><br />3. Serve pork chops and rice (add in a fresh summer salad for a more rounded out meal).<br /><br />serves 4<br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/anniepok/janeen2.gif" /></p>ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564925528294154794.post-83511427316056634872008-07-09T12:28:00.003-04:002008-07-09T12:51:04.993-04:00Mini honey-mustard meatloavesThis recipe has been allergenized. The original recipe is from Everyday Food (A Martha Stewart Magazine). <br />I took Martha's original recipe and switched some ingredients to safe ones and left some out that I couldn't replace.<br /><br />Ingredients<br />olive oil for baking sheets<br />2 Tbs. honey mustard<br />2 Tbs. ketchup<br />1-1.5 pounds of ground turkey<br />just under a 1/2 cup of polenta with brown rice bread crumbs added to make it a complete 1/2 cup (mix together)<br />salt and pepper<br /><br />Directions<br />1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tbs. mustard and ketchup.<br /><br />2. In a medium bowl, combine turkey, polenta/brown rice mixture, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper. From into four 2-by-4-inch loaves; place on baking sheet. Brush with mustard mixture.<br /><br />3. Transfer meatloaves to upper rack of oven. Bake until loaves are cooked through, 15-20 minutes, moving sheet to bottom rack after 10 minutes.<br /><br />In addition to the meatloaves, Martha also had a recipe for roasted potatoes. If you choose to use those too:<br /><br />Ingredients<br />1 pound white new potatoes, scrubbed and quartered<br />1 Tbs. of olive oil, plus more for baking sheets<br />salt and pepper<br /><br />Follow instructions for meatloaves to step 2.<br /><br />Continuing from step 2 from above:<br />On another rimmed baking sheet, brush sheet with oil. Toss potatoes with 1 Tbs. of olive oil and lay flat on sheet. Salt and pepper to taste.<br /><br />3. Transfer meatloaves to upper rack of oven, and place potatoes on lower rack. Bake until loaves are cooked through, 15-20 minutes, rotating sheets after 10 minutes. Remove loaves from oven; continue to roast potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes.<br /><br /><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a30/anniepok/janeen2.gif" /></p>ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564925528294154794.post-53608193726259791582008-05-14T17:32:00.001-04:002008-05-14T17:32:45.802-04:00Worms in dirt<a title="IMG_4710 by chupieandjsmama, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24445736@N06/2487010710/"><img height="375" alt="IMG_4710" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/2487010710_ca3eaf7fb0.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />1 cup of chocolate ZenSoy pudding<br />3 Tbs. of soy whipped topping<br />3-4 crushed frozen <a href="https://secure.kinnikinnick.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/Shop.Main/productidupc/62013300364/prodCatID/12/viewtype/info.html">KinniToos</a> chocolate sandwich cookies<br />Safe gummy worms<br /><br />Mix the pudding, soy whipped topping, and 1/2 the crushed cookies together and place in a cup.

Italian Seasoning<br />7. 1 Tbs. active dry yeast<br />8. 1 cup of warm water<br /><br />Directions<br />1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and in a bowl mix together the brown rice flour, corn meal and tapioca flour.<br />2. Add in vinegar, honey, seasoning and yeast. Pour water into mixture a little at a time and stir together. Only use enough water to combine all the ingredients (usually about 1/2-3/4 cup of the water).<br />3.
