Recipe Me

[Bruiser]

I'm dead set on getting this whole domestic thing down. But I haven't utilized a kitchen in... we'll just say in awhile. So, instead of me just randomly trying out recipe after recipe, you should all send or post the good ones. Maybe I'll even print out a little WSN booklet, who knows...oh yeah...

Please and Thank You,

Easy meal, and it only takes a minute or two for you to make it:

That, or tell John to go to the chow hall.

Apparently I wasn't clear enough. I need recipes for food I can make at home. With the cutting and the chopping and that oven thing.

And I don't think sending someone to the chow hall is being domestic, unless you live on post. Those post bitches be crazy and I refuse to live there.

Bah! It's only John...

Do you have a crockpot or a pressure cooker? You can make easy and tasty meals in them.

Beef stew in a pressure cooker

1lb of stew beef or you can use a priceier(is that even a word?) cut
1 large onion, quartered
4 or 5 carrots, sliced
4 or 5 large potatoes, quartered
1TBSP flour
1 chicken bouillion
1 beef bouillion
1 1/4 cup water

put a small amount of oil in the pressure cooker to bown your beef in. Once browned add onions, carrots and potatoes. In 1 cup of HOT, just boiled water dissolve both bouillion cubes then add to the mixture. The other 1/4 cup of water should be cold, add the 1TBSP of flour to that and mix then pour over your stew. Put the lid on your cooker and let cook for 20 minutes after it starts hissing. Once it starts hissing turn down to medium heat.

Thank you Ma'am...

boys, you suck ass.

[JanelleTPC]

what do the two of you like and I can probably give a recipe for it.

[Skones]

2 packages of ramen
Water

Microwave for about 5 minutes

Kick back and enjoy the college life without any of the pesky classes.

That's just it, we both like all kids of stuff. I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to it. We eat meat and vegan meals, spicy and bland, etc... It's a pain in the ass. Every damn ethnic type, we will consume. I don't really do baked good though, but he's a bit of a sucker for them.

[oldcrow]

What kinda stuff you and John like girl? I can cook like a meth freak on welfare day..

Seriously, anything you get a hankerin' for just PM me and ask, between Sabby, Crow, and numerous others on here you'll be domesticated in no time.

[Bruiser]

I called and asked John he says "whatever's good"... yeah, because we're not vague at all... now he's saying "comfort food"

Just gimme some of your favorites and I will try them all out in time. :smile:

[PoundingNails]

You can do a chicken stew (My favorite!) with the same basic recipe, except I make a bechamel to thicken at the very end. Also great for pot pies... The Best!

What kind of meat do you guys like? What kind of foods? I'm the best cook ever 'cept for Mario, and Bobby of course. And yes I blow that Emeril foolio outa the water!

You know I am well impressed by the amount of men on this site who cannot just cook but can make a proper MEAL.

haha... I'm not positive about him, but I eat everything from chicken to bear. See this is where the problem is, we both like so much and will try anything.

Oh, I don't like asparagus... does that help?

Alright I'll just go basics...(And I'm not a chef so I'm sure my terminology is off...)

Soups- Any soup starts with what is called the triumverate? of aromatics ie. Celery, Onion, and Carrots. I like to add garlic as well at the very least. Basicly you can take any meat and brown it in a pan, set it aside, throw the onions in the pan for a few minutes then add the carrots celery and garlic. Cook for about 6-8 minutes and you have the two main ingredients for your soup ie. the aromatics and the meat.
You can add water, beans, rice, vegetables whatever simmer for 1/2 hour 45 minutes and you have soup.

Cream based soups are a little harder but not much. Everything is the same as above but you have to make a bechamel or white gravy. Equal parts butter and flower in a skillet on low. You dont want to brown it you just want to incorporate the oil and flower. Add heavy(Half-N-Half or vitamin D will work fine.) cream to cover and bring to a slight boil. Add to hot simmering soup and bam!

One more important concept in soup making is fat removal. If you are making a cream based soup YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE ADDING THE BECHAMEL! The easiest way is to just stick the whole pot in the freezer and let it cool the fat will coagulate and is easy to remove. I wouldn't advise the ladel method for a beginer as you'll throw away more broth than you will fat.

That's pretty much it. Soup is one of my favorite foods as you can tell. You can add just about anything to it and as long as you don't burn it it's really hard to fuck up...

PM me if you have any questions. With what I gave you there you can literally make clam cghowder, corn chowder, beef vegetable, chicken with rice..... No thin shit either I make mine like stews. You know Skinhead Soup.

[grouchybastid]

Chicken Piccata, one of the easiest and tastiest things you can make.

1 pound thin sliced skinless, boneless chicken breast
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large lemon-half thinly sliced, half juiced
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium shallot, chopped
1/3 cup white wine or dry vermouth
1/3 cup chicken broth

Mix flour, salt, paprika and cayenne. Coat chicken with flour mixture.
In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add lemon slices and cook 1 minute on each side and set aside. Add chicken pieces to pan and cook until golden brown outside, 1 to 2 minutes on each side; remove to a platter.
Melt 1-tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine and broth and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spatula; boil until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and remaining butter, strain sauce over chicken, garnish with the set-aside lemon slices.

I usually make this with an easy pilaf, or green rice if that's what I'm in the mood for, and a salad. A nice crisp beer to wash it all down, and you're good to go.

[caspar]

Caprici Salad:

Salad:
4 Roma Tomatoes
2 Buffalo Mozzarella balls
1 Cucumber optional
1 Avocado optional
3 stalks Fresh Basil

Dressing:
equal parts Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
1/2-1 tsp Salt (depends on how much dressing you're making)


Dice the tomatoes, cheese, (cucumber, and avocado). You can choose to chop the basil or keep the leaves whole. I prefer to chop them, but not finely. Mix the salad ingredients well, so that they're evenly spread throughout. Next, combine the dressing ingredients together and mix well. Obviously, add dressing to salad. It's good as a sandwich, too... without the avo and cucumber..

Mango Chicken:
Marinate chicken breasts or thighs (both are equally good) in a jerk marinade overnight.

When you're ready to cook the meat, peel and slice (a) fresh mango(es).

For the grill:
Place the chicken on tin foil, and turn up the sides so that you can pour the marinade in as well. Top it with the mango, and grill.

For the oven:
Place the chicken, marinade, and mango slices into a baking tin and stick it in the oven at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, or until cooked.
Also makes for good sandwiches.

Got it... stalk you on myspace... awesome...

[grouchybastid]

Bruiser, another suggestion I'll make is: get ahold of Alton Brown's book "I'm Just Here For The Food". It's got a bunch of recipes but more importantly, he talks about the hows and whys of cooking. Invaluable reference, IMHO.

Linkage. (http://www.amazon.com/Im-Just-Here-Food-Version/dp/158479559X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-1068982-2263000?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177427081&sr=8-1)

[AttitudeSkin]

Quick simple dish for a family of 4:

2 lbs skinless chicken breast, either baked or grilled then diced.
1/2 lb of shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon of crushed raw garlic.

Toss the chicken, onions, and garlic together in a bowl. Top with cheese and place in microwave for 1m, 30s. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Voila. Melted cheesy chicken.

Also: ALWAYS keep bags of frozen mixed veggies handy. These are a quick easy side dish for anyone. Just put in a covered bowl with a couple oz of water and nuke for several minutes.

The entire meal above can be made in under 20 minutes.

[ArmedSuspect]

If you like spicy, get a jar of Bombay Authentics Vindaloo Curry sauce then follow this recipe.

1 pound cubed stew meat - beef, veal, etc.
1 jar Bombay Authentics Vindaloo Curry Sauce
1 pound pasta - I suggest Barilla brand mafalda or penne
1 yellow pepper - sliced
1 medium yellow onion - sliced
2 cups sliced mushrooms - preferably baby portabellos
2 tablespoons olive oil

Marinade:
1 tablespoon each - worcestshire sauce, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder


Combine marinade ingredients, meat and season liberally. Marinate at least 6 hours in refrigerator, preferably overnight.

Prepare pasta according to box.

While pasta is cooking:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over med-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms, cook for three minutes then add sliced peppers and onion. Cook for an additional three minutes then dump in the meat. Cook until meat is evenly browned, stirring often. Once meat is browned, add curry sauce; a tablespoon of water in the jar will help get any excess that doesn't come out. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.

Drain pasta. Mix with curry.

Serve hot.

OK, an easy one for you.

Make enough rice for two.

Get a couple of good sized pork chops (or four smallish ones).
Heat up a frying pan to near-max heat, and sear the chops, about 5 seconds per side.
Turn the flame down as low as it will go (if it's electic, turn to its lowest setting and take the pan off the burner until it cools down).
Add a cup of sliced mushrooms, a can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup, and half can of milk.
Jiggle the chops around to let some of the soup mix get under 'em, then cover with the lid and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Throw the chops on the plates with a serving of rice, pour the mushroom gravy over the rice. Tasty stuff, and near impossible to mess up. Just remember to go from your highest heat to your lowest.

--------------

Another good one for beginner cooks:

Boil up a box of mac'n'cheese. Drain. In the pot, mix in 1/4 stick of butter, one can of tuna, one can of mushroom soup, the cheese mix, a handful or two of grated cheese, and a couple handfuls of mixed frozen vegetables. Mix well, and throw it all in a casserole dish, then layer grated cheese across the top. Sprinkle on a little parmesan if you have it.

Bake in the oven at 400 (200 centigrade) for 20 minutes.

Again, reasonably tasty, and near impossible to mess up.

[Mamaskin]

I like to make Chicken with cream of mushroom soup in the crock pot. I just season some boneless/skinless chicken and put it in the crockpot. Then cover it with 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup. It cooks on low while im at work ,when i get home i either make rice or egg noodles to go with it.

In the cream of mushroom soup vein:

Take 2 pounds of pork chops and lay them flat in a baking dish. Top each peice with a thick slice each of, in this order, vidalia onion, tomato, and cheddar cheese. Then pour a mixture of 1 can cream of mushroom and 1/2 can milk, blended well. Make sure you spoon the mixture over everything! Bake for 45 minutes at 350 and serve with buttery baked potatoes, pouring cream of mush gravy all over em, and your fave veggie. My grandma used to make this for me when I was a kid. I think she was trying to kill me but damn it tasted so good.

[dexy]

I use boneless chicken breast and lay them in the baking pan and add baby carrots, onions, celery and potatoes and cover with cream of mushroom soup. I usually make white rice to put the chicken and veggies over. It is pretty damn good

Also, I cheat and go to http://http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf for some easy meals

Good luck

I don't know how Packy or John would feel about me giving you a bath. I don't think I'm even down with it... seeing as you're a grown woman and all. I will stick to getting my sweetness through other things; such as bad movies, bike parts, purchasing funny buttons, mocking emo kids, & ect.

Do I have to motivate you bastards with rep? I already said I would make you a booklet!

I make a really good chicken salad. Sometimes when i grill or bake boneless chicken ill cook a couple extra pieces for chicken salad sandwhichs.
I chop the chicken in small pieces . Chop some onion,green bell pepper and red bell pepper. Then i just add mayo and some Boars head deli mustard. I cant tell you how much ,it depends on how much you make. I only add a little of the mustard. Its really good on Chicago rolls or toast. Oh and i like to chill it at least a hour. Its better that way.

I'm afraid of egg salad thanks to WSN... stupid icky people making icky sexual comments that make me hate certain foods...

I am afraid to ask, but since I doubt many people wander in here... what the hell is a Chicago roll? Is it just a really big dinner roll? Cuz that's all I can think of.

[bat_girl]

Do you have Kraft Zesty Italian dressing where you are?

Cook some twisty tri-coloured pasta, when it's cool mix with:

chopped red onion (around 1/4 to 1/2 small onion -- or a couple of green onions if you want a milder onion flavour), chopped garlic (1-2 cloves), chopped tomato (1-2 firm small), lots of chopped cucumber, cover with the dressing and let sit.

OK, here's something straight out of restaurant cooking for ya...

Prepare:

1/2 pound of raw shrimp, peeled and veined (you gotta remove that little black vein that runs up the middle) OR 1/2 pound of salmon, cut into bite sized pieces.
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
1 cup of whole cream.
1/2 stick of butter.
2 cloves of garlic, minced.
1 tablespoon of parsley, finely chopped.

2 servings of fettucine.
1 large pot of boiling water.
1/4 cup of olive oil
3 tablespoons of salt.

Have a collander (seive) handy.

Put salt into boiling water.
Put olive oil into boiling water.
Put fettucine into boiling water. Stir it up.

You now have about five minutes.

Put butter into saucepan, turn up the heat, and get it melting. Stir constantly.
Add garlic and parsely, keep stirring until the garlic starts to brown up.
Stir the fettucine.
Slowly the cream into the saucepan with the butter. Stir constantly, and stir up the fettucine now and then.
When the cream comes to a low boil, turn down the heat a little, and add the cheese. Keep stirring, and periodically stir up the fettucine.
When the cheese is melted in, turn the heat down low and start checking the fettucine to see if it's done - it should be flexible but not still have a little resistance when you bite it.
When the fettucine is done, throw it in the collander, and throw the seafood into the sauce, and turn the heat up a little. Give it about one minute, then throw in the fettucine. Stir and toss until the fettucine is cpmpletely coated with sauce, then pour out onto a couple of plates.

Seafood Fettucine Alfredo, same as you would get in a good Italian place.

Oh, garlic toast is a must to go with this. Need a recipe for that too? :)
