I tried this recipe tonight. I used ground turkey instead of beef. I also could not find the soup the recipe said so I substituted it with "Fiesta Nacho Cheese" It turned out really good.   :)

This is actually something I literally threw together trying to make something different.  It turned out really well and it was devoured!  I'm going to omit the chicken next time and just use it as a side dish.  With the chicken, just add a veggie and it's a full meal.

Ingredients:
3 boneless / skinless chicken breasts
1 package of no-yolks wide egg noodles
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (low fat works fine)
1/3 cup of milk (I used 1%)
1/2 stick of margarine
onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to taste

Boil the chicken breasts until done.  Remove the chicken and cut into bite-sized cubes.  Boil the noodles in the same water as the chicken breasts, adding water if needed.  Drain noodles and return to pot.  Add cream of chicken soup, milk, margarine, and seasonings to the noodles.  Stir until well mixed.  Add chicken to the noodles.  Stir.  Serve hot.

If using as a side dish and omitting the chicken, I boil the noodles in water with a dissoloved chicken bouillon cube.

Happy Eating!

Tell me about it, Vyv, I've got a trip to the grocery store scheduled for tomorrow and i've made everything here (some things twice).  Hubby even told me to come on and see what else I can make.  Ok, I'm thinking of a recipe to revive it...hang on.

Ok, hubby helped and here goes:

Egg Sausage Souflee (not low fat, but it makes a lot)

6 - 10 pieces of bread, toasted and torn into quarters
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup of milk
1cup cheddar cheese
1 lb ground sausage (turkey sausage works great), cooked and crumbled
salt and pepper to taste

Line the bottom of a cassarole dish, or 9x12 inch baking pan with toasted bread pieces.  Sprinkle about 1/3 of the sausage and 1/3 of the cheese.  Continue to layer in that order, ending with the cheese.  Mix the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a seperate bowl until well mixed.  Pour egg custard over the cassarole.  Bake 350 degrees, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hr or until eggs are set.  This is better if refrigerated overnight before baking.  Microwave leftovers are really good!

Happy Cooking!

But of course!

I can be quite the lazy cook for sure.  I've been trying to get back in my old groove by doing more ambitious cooking projects.  I started rather elaborate cooking exercises at a very young age.  I was trussing poultry with butcher twine at the age of 14... my mother gagged.  She now calls me up for kitchen advice :)

It's all part of the inner gay gene.

btw: the concept behind that dish is that by slow roasting the 40 cloves of garlic it imparts a mellow sweetness to them.  Then they're forced through a food mill, puréed, and then mixed with sherry vinegar and crème de cassis.  After that you slowly whisk, one by one, 10 pieces of chilled butter (it's a whole stick *sigh* fattening!) and the result is the most amazing sauce in the world.

That last one by  philly267 puts my lazy a$$ to shame.

Yesterday i sliced sourdough bread thin, butter garlic then under the broiler.
top with this great deli ham and a Kroger brand of pepper jack cheese. (comes in a box like Velveeta)
back under the broiler. quick and easy.

Today i boiled up chicken breast for my salads for work.
made 9 choc. chip muffins, and a dozen raspberry muffins.
last but not least i am making country ribs with sourkraut and dumplings, going to be a huge pot so i will freeze some for lunches and a big bowl for my sister when she comes to town.
 ( she made me promise to save her some)
The dumpling are a pain in the butt, and take a long time to do but well worth the effort.
the dish is best after 2 to 3 days in the fridge, but i will take my time and simmer the hell out of it.
Never rush soups or the like, sooo much better after simmering all day long ;)
now i need a loaf of deli bread to go with it, as the sour dough was gone in a heart beat yesterday.
i did see a loaf of french at the market yesterday, unsliced, hard on the outside perfect to dip in this dish.
hmmm and i didn't want to go out today oh well.

3 eggs to two cups of flour. then just enough water so its not dry.
i did 6 eggs and 4 cups of flour.
have to drop them in boiling water. one third of a teaspoon as they swell up and float. when they float pull them out and put them into your meal.
i change the water as soon as it gets cloudy so you don't get a bunch of starch in your meal.

The pot i made was beyond huge , i have two Tupperware in the freezer and a large one in the fridge. for dinner and snacks tomorrow.
Before i started cooking today i took a shower, shaved and put on some old spice.
put on a polo shirt and my "flannel" pants . I hope mum is proud of old Lucas. ;)

Nadine ate too much, and is suffering the side effects. glad we have two bathrooms ;D

Oh, yummy!  That would go good with my chicken I'll put in the crock pot tomorrow.  Do you use all purpose flour, wheat flour, or self-rising flour?  You put dumplings IN your BBQ?  That also sounds very good.  I'm a BBQ hound!

I'm so sorry Nadine is suffering but at least it's for a good reason ;)

And, I must say, Master Lucas, I'm very proud of you.  A good meal served by a handsome, sweet smelling, debanair hunk...I'm sure food isn't the only thing that Nadine filled up on ;)

Just all purpose flour mum, and if the eggs are not huge you may want to add one or two more.

 This is a salad that my non-salad eaters will ask for me to fix.

Romaine Salad

Dressing: 1 cup canola oil
             1/2 cup minced onion
             1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
             3/4 cup sugar OR 3/4 cup Splenda + 2 TBSP sugar
Mix and chill.  Better if allowed to blend overnight.

Serve with:
            Chopped Romaine lettuce
            craisins
            chopped walnuts
            sliced strawberries
Mix lettuce ingredients.  Toss in dressing just before serving.

If using as a meal, add precooked, sliced chicken breast or chicken strips.

Happy Eating!

The very best fat-free fried potatoes EVER!

Potatoes
Fat-free Italian dressing
Parmesean cheese

Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork.  Place them on a papertowel in the microwave.  Microwave them on high for 5 - 8 minutes or until a fork inserted in the middle goes through.  Some potatoes may be done before others.  Place the cooked potatoes in the refrigerator until they are completely cooled (cold).  This makes them slice prettier.  Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut into 1/8 inch slices (or thicker). 

In a skillet, put just enough fat-free italian dressing to cover the bottom.  Heat until bubbling.  Place the potato slices in the dressing and cook until crispy.  Turn and cook on the other side until crispy.  Remove and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

These taste like super greasy, fat-full fried potatoes.  Not only are they fat-free, but they are WONDERFUL for any meal of the day.

Happy eating!

Holy cow Mum.  You discovered my secret! lol  Well, that Italian dressing is good with a lot of things.  ( My favorite is Good Seasons ..Italian ...that you mix up with oil and vinegar.)
We do a flank steak on the grill that marinates in it.  And the potatoes to go with the steak are first quartered (or more if they are large) and put in a foil pouch then drizzled with Italian Dressing and the pouch sealed. They go on the grill for 30 minutes or so..... you have to experiment with time. Its best to start them on the lower grill then move them to the higher rack so they dont burn.  Its warm enought to grill here today!!
Oh and I love chicken baked with this Italian dressing poured over it before cooking. It just goes in the oven for an hour.

Tonight it's grilled porterhouse, baked potato w/sour cream and caesar salad.

I've still not done my roast chicken due to lack of Crème de cassis, though I have a liquor store only 4 blocks away.  I guess I've not been particularly inspired this week :(

I havent made the bourbon chicken but I just made the sauce for the creamy cajun chicken pasta.

I modified the ingredients. I didn't add salt. I used fresh basil but a smidge less than called for in the ingredients. I used 1 tsp fresh garlic crushed then diced finely instead of the powder and I added 2 tbsp of cream cheese. I used two green onions instead of one.
and I made penne pasta instead of linguine.

After I cooked the chicken I wiped out the darker chicken bits with a paper towel and later added another tsp of butter.

Its good. yummy even.

I have a package of beef short ribs. I've looked online for a recipe to use for cooking them and I think I might try this one.
I'll likely modify the recipe too. Like seasoning and dredging the meat in flour then browning them first. Maybe add an onion. 
I'll let ya'll know. It is similar to the Bourbon Chicken now that I think about it so I'm sure it will be good.

Short Ribs With Sauce

4  lbs bone-in short rib of beef 
2  cups water 
3/4  cup cider vinegar 
1/2  cup catsup 
1/2  cup honey 
2  tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
1/2  teaspoon salt 
1  teaspoon ground mustard 
1  teaspoon paprika 
2  cloves garlic, minced 
1/4  teaspoon pepper 

Heat oven to 350°.
Place ribs in 13x9 baking pan; add water.
Cover and bake for 2-1/2 hours.
In small saucepan, mix all other ingredients.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Set in refrigerator until needed.
When done, uncover ribs and spoon sauce over.
Bake, uncovered, for 1/2 hour, turning often to coat with sauce.

Look at this then, it's more what I've had (and made) in terms of this dish:

http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/004085braised_beef_short_ribs.php

I will add, however, that this dish really deserves something like an oven proof casserole (i.e. a cast iron one) if you have it -- though I'd think in a pinch you could use a cast iron skillet to braise then transfer to something like pyrex for the oven part.  That way you can braise the short ribs on top of the stove, do the rest of the stuff, and then shove it in the oven.  I've also thrown in some of those little red potatoes in the final step instead of making mashed potatoes later.

This is one of my very favorite winter dishes.

One of my favorites.

Fried Rice

Ingredients:
4 cups cooked converted or parboiled rice - cooled
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
salt
pepper

Directions:

Cook rice following instructions on package Pour rice into a large bowl to let it cool in the refrigerator. Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. Separate the scrambled chunks of egg into small pea-size bits while cooking.

When rice has cooled to near room temperature, add peas & carrots, and diced onion to the bowl. Carefully toss all of the ingredients together. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium/high heat.

When butter has completely melted, dump the bowl of rice and other ingredients into the pan and add soy sauce plus a dash of salt and pepper and scrambled egg. Cook rice for 6-8 minutes over heat, stirring often.


You can add meat to it too if you want.

Short Ribs With Sauce


This was pretty good. I fished the meat out of the pan and lightly drizzled the sauce over the meat and only cooked it for 5 more minutes.
I think if I'd poured it over the meat it would have been too strong for me.

With it we had smashed potatoes with all the baked potato fixings mixed in aside from bacon.
Fresh green beans with garlic
and baby carrots lightly coated in a reduction of the meat juices from the ribs with butter and herbs

I just read this to make myself hungry.  I could never master one of the more exotic recipes (that includes the borboun chicken).

I love me some short ribs.

They're just one of my favorite things in the world.  I so very much want some now, and as soon as my cold goes away and I can actually taste things I will make some.

Anybody have a good, relatively easy rice recipe?  I now have over 26 lbs of white med. grain rice in my house, my mother brought me a 20lb bag yesterday and I don't have a clue how I will use it all?
TIA,
Snow

Rice is very easy and if you make it like this its almost impossible to mess up.

PLAIN RICE:

1 cup of rice.
2 cups boiling water.


Check your rice first for any stones or foreign objects. Then rinse it with BOILING WATER.
Let drain.
Heat up 3 table spoons of oil in a pot, and put the rinsed rice into the pot,
Stir. after a couple of min add 2 cups of boiling water.(always double amount of water to the rice)
 1 teaspoon salt.
 bring back to boil, cover, reduce heat and allow all the water to evaporate. about 10 or so min. turn off heat. and let stand with  pot covered for 5 or so min.

Serve.

I usually add frozen veg when I add the boiling water, if I want Rice and veg. (peas or corn or beans or carrots or all)

I like Basmati Rice, I think its the most tasty.

No.  Short ribs are beef, baby back are pork.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_ribs

In my experience, when Americans say "ribs" they mean pork (whether they know it or not) and they mean BBQ.  Beef short ribs are harder to find at the supermarket, but if you look carefully you may find them.  When I cook them I generally go to an actual butcher shop, because even if I find them at the supermarket they never have but a couple of them.

The ones I bought where boneless and roughly 2 inches by 2 inches squared.
Tasted alot like pot roast. LOL

I like rice in general and will eat pretty much any kind but I like smell and taste of Jasmine rice.

I don't have any recipe planed for tonight as of yet. I'll work on it if I feel up to it. I'm still fighting off a upper respiratory infection and general crappy feeling.  Otherwise its a fend for yourself night.

Anybody have a good chicken salad recipe?  What kind of chicken do you use, boneless skinless or cook the whole bird and then de-bone?
Thanks,
Snow

Hi Snow
I dont really have a receipe but here is one of my favorite ways to fix chicken salad.
Chicken: de-bone and chop
chopped celery
small amt of chopped onion
a chopped up apple
some raisins
mayonaise to taste
a bit of mustard ( i like the honey mustard)
salt and pepper to taste...I use a pepper mill and load it on
(the apple really gives it a bang for your buck)

I'm going to make a couple of fillet mignon. My boyfriends adopted parents are Jewish and have been cleaning out their fridge of anything that isn't kosher for passover. Lucky us aye?
