RED MEALS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over medium heat.
• Cook the potatoes until they are lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 20 minutes turning occasionally.
• Add the bratwurst, onion, and red and yellow bell peppers.
• Stirring occasionally, cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and heated through, 10-15 minutes.
• Combine the teriyaki sauce, orange juice, basil,and pepper in a small bowl.
• Stir the sauce mixture into the brats and vegetables, and heat through, about 5-10 minutes.
• We served this with Stone Ground Mustard on the side for dipping the brats.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Using electric mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugars until combined. Add egg, food coloring and vanilla and mix until just combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 1½ inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating positions of pans on racks halfway through, until darker around edges, 9 to 12 minutes total.  Let cool 5 minutes on pans, then slide parchment (and cookies) onto wire rack and let cool at least 5 minutes more before serving.
