Something Delicious

ruffryder · 11-14-2012, 07:27 PM

Tomorrow night I'm gonna make penne with a spicy sauce and chicken.

I'll take some jalapeno and blend it up and add it to Pregos Garden Sauce. Cook up some penne. Cook chicken breast and dice it up small adding it to the sauce and viola a simple and delish dinner will be served with some cheese bread.

shhh it's a secret. LOL I usually end up adding something to jar stuff. Sometimes I use a can of chili or soup to start a base to make veg or chili soup then end up adding more spices and seasoning and ingredients to it.

I have made my own tomato sauce for spaghetti and also w/ meatballs but I will admit I pick up Prego or Ragu when it's onsale for a quick sauce.

Meatballs? hmmm...where you at?

When I was a kid I was in charge of the meatballs on Sunday. I took this job very, very seriously.

yes only 5 lmao

It so simple its silly however here goes

Put your pieces of chicken bone in skin on in a large bowl, add milk (i plug my nose for this) add salt and pepper to the milk I do not know how much as i tend to eyeball things not so much use measuring spoons or anything.

Marinate the chicken in the milk 8-12 hours even 24 would work

I do not do an egg wash

I then season my flour with salt and pepper
coat the pieces right out of the milk either in a paper bag or a a ziplock bag.

then fry...make sure you allow for frying time when you are using bone in skin on pieces as they take a little bit longer.

this is so simple and easy it delicious,

If Wolfy misses Chicago pizza and everything else you can eat in that city, then this Cleveland girl misses good kielbasa, pierogi, and of course, the chili from the other end of the state (I went to college there).

This was my mother's spaghetti sauce recipe; if you get really fresh tomatoes, it's got to be pretty good for you, too. I use the crockpot, but simmering it on the stove works, too (obviously, she didn't always have a crock pot).

Brown in deep pan:
1 diced garlic bud
1 green pepper
1 1/2 lb. ground beef (I use lean)
Salt and pepper well, and add:

1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 medium size can stewed tomatoes
Drain and reserve the liquid to add if the sauce is too thick
4 cans tomato paste
1 hot cherry pepper, finely diced

Cook 4 hours (or I let this go a good long time in the crock pot)

Serves 6 generously

One of my most beloved possessions is my mother's cookbook, copyright 1940. It must have been a wedding present. This recipe was on a laminated index card in her writing, and many of the recipes in the book have her notes in the margins. I never knew I'd treasure her writing

Wolfy passed out. Its an Italian thing. lol

Jalepenos are a good way to doctor up a jarred sauce. Sometime try taking some roasted red peppers and running the sauce and peppers through a blender first. The reds lend another layer of flavor and the texture works too.

You know, I am so in the mood for comfort food tonight. Too exhausted to cook Would love some really creamy cheesy macaroni, topped with crispy bacon, sauteed mushrooms.....OOOO and maybe a toasted cheese and turkey sandwich to dip in the cheese sauce. Can you tell I love cheese??? OR King Ranch chicken on a bed of yellow rice topped with sour cream, guacamole, and jalapenos!

I won't be making either tonight. I am beat! Just a foodie dream! lol

Cheese freaks unite. We could start a club.

What is King Ranch chicken?

little_ms_sunshyne · 11-14-2012, 08:14 PM

lol I asked the same thing. ranch King is some kind of Texas dish.

I'm a cheese snob. It has to be real, made properly and no artificial anything. I will pay as much for cheese as I would for wine. Of course I don't consume them on a regular basis.

I have lowered my meat consumption a lot and for the most part eat organic and or grass fed. There is a huge difference in taste for me. Of course much of the grass fed is very lean and needs to marinated in oils. I also use quite a bit of bison.

I'm researching Emu now and hope by next year to start raising Emu. Originally it was for my dogs and the health benefits but some people have said it was yummy. has anyone here had it and if so, what did you think?

Last night I made butter chicken with organic chicken thighs. I add LOTS of mushrooms. I also add plain yogurt. Then I stir-fried a bunch of mixed veggies with the wok so hot that the veggies got a nice bit of char on them. I use coconut oil with a few spots of toasted sesame seed oil. Amazon has butter chicken spices "Taste Of India" which is pretty good, quick and easy. I add a few things but its a good curry base. Did I say easy?? lol The whole thing super easy and very flavorful.

Bèsame* · 11-15-2012, 08:18 AM

Hmmmm, on tonight's menu

Beef stroganoff

Ploy to feed the boys to get the Xmas decorations out of the attic. Lol

And yes yes yes to cheese..I've been experimenting with cheese. Finding and tasting along the way. I remember walking into a cheese store, of all places, Rodeo Drive in CA. The smell was strange, but the goodies were forever. My love started there...lol

Good cheese is a wonderful thing to have access to. There is a little cheese shop in San Francisco called, oddly "Cheese Plus". The owner travels around the world seeking out excellent cheeses and the staff is eager to give samples out to us cheese freaks. It was there that I discovered a French blue cheese that was beyond fabulous. However with little exception, I buy local California cheese. It is important to me to support the state economy. Same with wine, I will visit the cheese maker or vineyard and make my choices from there.

If you have not yet tried it I recommend "Cowgirl Creamery" cheeses. They are located in the SF North Bay on the coast and make wonderful products. If you enjoy brie, they have a few that are outstanding. Particularly the Red Hawk which has a very grassy earthy undertone.

Never have a tried Emu. This was not even on my radar. Fascinating.
