One morbidly obese cookie man.



Quiche ready for the oven. This was my first attempt and I made an extra to taste test and it was a success!

haha I actually ended up getting that from my husband for Christmas

Made the pistachio ice cream and it is very yummy. But I was a fucking dumbass and put 1 2/3 cups sugar in the recipe when it only called for 2/3. So then I had to sit there with a ladle and try to get a cup of sugar out of the milk and cream. I think I got most of it out but so far the ice cream is tasting very sweet. I'm hoping overnight in the freezer will mellow out the sugar.

I did pizza from scratch a week ago, came out pretty good though I probably should have cooked the sauce down another 5-10 minutes

I call this Panty Dropping Desert.

Pie crust
Berries
Sugar
OJ
Butter
Ramekins

For each ramekin rub butter to coat. Place cut piece of pie crust to cover bottom and side. Fill with berries(blueberries and blackberries work great). Pour about a table spoon of OJ over berries then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cover with pie crust. Brush melted butter over top of pie crust and sprinkle with sugar.

Cook 350 for 35 minutes.

Serve hot with ice cream and wait for her panties to drop.

Baking chocolate chip cookies and planning on doing a mushroom pork loin roast, mashed potatoes, and string beans a little later. And if I get real ambitious -- biscuits.

These cookies are some of the best cookies that I have ever made.

I will not be making them again because I will gain back every damned pound that I lost last year.

BTTT

Last night I tried a couple of really yummy recipes that the bf and I loved.

Crab Cakes with this Paula Deen recipe (but pan-seared, not fried): http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/crab-cakes-recipe/index.html

Baked, Seasoned Fries with my own spice blend, based on this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aaron-mccargo/oven-baked-seasoned-fries-recipe/index.html

And finally, a spinach salad with sauteed mushrooms, shallots and a home-made roasted tomato-bacon vinaigrette

having a pizza stone and peel is awesome because dough balls can be had in many grocery stores these days

that's my go-to quick dinner

I've usually got some kind of cheese, some vegetable and a jar of tomato sauce or some pesto on hand so i can always throw a pie together

Okay, so I roasted my third whole chicken and it came out GREAT this time instead of just pretty good. I dried the chicken (about 4 lbs) really well and salted it and stuck it in at 450 for 60 minutes.

I didn't butter it or anything. After I pulled it out, I sprinkled cracked black pepper and the juice of an orange over top.

Delicious, salty, crispy skin.

Does anyone else have chicken roasting tips? I don't cook or eat a lot of meat so I don't know what I'm doing past trial and error.

This is my absolutely favorite roast chicken recipe. It's super easy, and delicious: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/engagement-roast-chicken-recipe/index.html

If you don't have a thermometer you can put in a chicken/turkey, etc., and monitor from the outside, I highly recommend you get one for roasting. That way you can go off of temperature, and not time.

A meat thermometer is something I've rarely had a need for but now I'm dating an omnivore.
160 is a safe temp?

What about pork?

I know I could google this but I'm sure someone knows off-hand in here

^^ Pork is 145.

^^

For beef the temp ranges to doneness are:
125 - 129 - rare
130 - 135 - medium rare
135 - 140 - medium
140+ take away your cooking license

For poultry if I'm cooking just a chicken breast I'll do 145, but if it's a whole bird I cook the breast to 155 and take it out. There is a ton of carry over cooking and I've seen the meat jump 10 degrees after taking it out of the oven in a whole bird. White meat chicken will actually be semi-juicy at 160, but much higher and it's a desert.

A lot of nice restaurantes do pork at about 135 degrees--even before the FDA law.

So I'm thinking of making a batch of slow simmered 3 meat chili this weekend, and wanted to mix things up. Looking for a couple opinions on my thoughts on how to mix it up a bit.

1) Use a good porter instead of beef stock. I've used beer before, but usually a lighter red ale or something. Was thinking of grabbing something darker this go around...and wondering if I might have to change up what/how much spice(s) I use.

2) Was thinking of roasting some Poblano Peppers to add some flavor, but I feel like they'd get lost in the rest of the chili if I dumped it all in at the beginning. Wondering if I should hold out until the last 1/2 hour or so before tossing them in with the other can of black beans.

made a low carb pizza casserole last night. basic idea is the crust is made from egg, lowfat cream cheese, skim mozzarella, and various seasonings. flax meal can also be added. then, sugar free tomato sauce, more cheese, and toppings to your liking. i went with mushroom caps, turkey pepperoni, and some low fat turkey sausage.

it was delicious!

I had some diced ham that I'd used for a quiche that I needed to go ahead and finish up, so I just put together a mac-n-cheese, ham, and pea casserole. Pretty lame, but the kid will enjoy it.

1 slice sirloin fillet
1 slice boneless pork loin
2 slices thick cut bacon
Season to like(I just used black pepper)

Grind(I used my magic bullet with the cross blade and the larger blender cup)

Makes 4 patties depending on how you make them

Fry to taste(I cooked medium heat using cast iron skillet)

Damn good quick homemade breakfast sausage.

I bought an egg plant. What do I do with it? I have some allergies, so simple seasoning is best. Grilling preferable. Any ideas?

Sulfiting agents

But i can pull from that list of ingredients and make something up. I usually just put olive oil and some sort of salt on the veggies I grill.

one thing i've done with eggplant... skin it, slice it, and then layer the slices in paper towels and put a book or something with some weight on top of the stack to squeeze moisture out... seems to cook better that way.

One of my favorite eggplant recipes. It's more of a side dish than an entree.

4 small Asian eggplants (would equal about 3/4 pound large eggplant)
1 small green bell pepper
1/4 pound ground meat
1.5 tablespoons red miso paste
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons sake
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Cut eggplant and pepper into bite-sized pieces.

Cook ground meat in saute pan until done. Drain oil from meat and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together miso, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake to make a sauce.

In a pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add eggplant and pepper, and cook stirring constantly until eggplant is golden brown. Add ground meat and miso sauce to pan and cook for about two minutes to fully coat vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions if you want. Done!
