Open a can of kernel corn (Mexicorn is more colorful), pour on Italian Salad Dressing and voila: Salad.
Great at barbeques, picnics and winter when lettuce is too pricy.

Biscuits and Gravy
1/2 lb of pork sausage

1/3 cup of flour
3 1/3 cups of milk
Pack of Pilsbury biscuits.

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/3 cup of flour
3 1/3 cups of milk
Pack of Pilsbury biscuits.
Cooking directions? I'm pretty sure I know them, but some members are culinarily challenged.
-
Yes, and if your not going to make your biscuits from scratch, Scrapheap, then why the gravy from scratch?
-
Jezebel Sauce:
1 jar Pineapple preserves
1 jar Apple jelly
1 to 2 tablespoons horseradish
1 to 2 tablespoons dry mustard
Mix the ingredients together. Store in the refrigerator (can put back into the jelly jars) for at least a week before using. Gets better as it ages. It will taste harsh at first, but as it mellows it gets better. I use more horseradish and dry mustard, but this amount is for the people who don't like it spicy.
Use on ham or pour over blocks of cream cheese as an appetizer (with crackers).

Veggie Beef Stew
(For the crockpot)
1 lb boneless round steak cut into 1/2" cubes
1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
3 cups water
3 cups frozen hashbrowns (the cubed kind)
3 celery ribs, sliced
2 carrots, sliced
3 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups frozen mixed veggies
1. In a crockpot combine the first 12 ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours. Add vegetables; cover and cook on high 2 more hours until the meet and vegetables are tender.
**It's more like a soup on the day that you cook it, but the leftvovers the next day are more like a stew and, in my opinion, taste even better!

For the non-cooks who want a sweet
No-Bake Peanut Butter & Jelly Balls
Makes about 20 snacks
What You Need:
•1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or other cookie crumbs)
•1 cup peanut butter (I used freshly ground, just peanuts, so it's very thick)
•1/4 cup raisins
•1/4 cup jam/jelly/preserves
•2 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
How it's Done:
1.Combine all ingredients in food processor (or mix by hand for chunkier snacks) and process until the dough forms a ball.
2.Shape into 1" balls. Roll in confectioner's sugar, coconut, or unsweetened cocoa powder.
3.Chill for at least an hour before serving. Can be frozen.
If you're super cooking challenged, just mix it together and eat it with a spoon or leave out the graham cracker crumbs and stir into some made instant oatmeal for a breakfast treat.
For those who can cook a little:
Cheesy Pasta with Bacon and Peas

I've been experimenting with various growth mediums for microworms and fruit flies, and I made this tonight:
Fruit fly growth medium
400ml water
400ml vinegar
400ml chopped tomatoes
25g whey
25g brewer's yeast
75g molasses
150g oats
1g vitamin C
1 crushed multi-vitamin/mineral tablet.
Mix thoroughly, simmer for a minute or two, mix thoroughly again and then spoon into sterile containers. Add a ball of cotton wool to each container and allow to cool. Once cool, add baker's yeast and fruit flies.

Here's my recipe for what to do when you have too many fruit flies.
In a bowl put in apple cider and a bit of liquid dish detergent (what you use to wash dishes) and stir gently to mix it together. Cover the bowl tightly with saran wrap and poke a few holes in it. The flies will be attracted to the smell of the cider and they can get into the bowl through the holes, but they're too dumb to get out again. Fruit flies are light enough to stand on liquid and then fly away again, but the soap makes it more dense and they drown.
Just in case you have too much success with your experiment. :laugh:

toast some bread, put some peanut butter on it and some cooked bacon. Can add apricot jelly or a bit of cranberry sauce. Yum

I know some of you will be eating alone this holiday season, so my suggestions for a simple holiday meal for one:
A small amount of appetizer stuff (raw mushrooms, baby corn, roma tomatoes, broccoli florets, etc. with some salad dressing to dip the stuff in) from the deli bar at the grocery store if they have that kind of stuff or
Heated tomato soup or french onion soup
A nice slice of cooked turkey (not the processed kind) from the deli or a slice of ham. Should be about 1/2 inch thick (about the width of one finger). This might give you 2 meals
Bottled turkey or chicken gravy
Sweet potato cooked in the microwave (marshmallows too?) or
Stovetop stuffing
Green beans (canned) with some bacon bits (deli bar) and/or mushrooms and butter, or peas and carrots or other canned vegetables
A slice of cake or cupcake from the grocery's bakery, a single serve cake or pie (Edwards) from the freezer or some special cookies you usually don't buy yourself.
A pint of eggnog or special flavored coffee creamer.
Nothing needs cooking except the sweet potato. The rest can be heated up in a microwave on your plate. And there will probably be some leftovers for another meal.
Don't shortchange yourself and feel unworthy at this time of year.

Another contribution from ThriftyFun. Just follow the basic idea and work with what you have. The cook claimed it cost $1.
Ingredients:
1/4 lb. spaghetti, broken into smallish pieces ($.70/lb) = 17 cents
1 egg ( I always buy these on sale- $1.00/doz.)= 8 cents
1 medium onion, sliced VERY thin ($.59/lb.) = 15 cents
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese ($3.99/lb) = 10 cents
1/4 cup milk (again I always buy on sale. $2.50/gallon) = 16 cents
Total for spaghetti = 66 cents!
5-6 baby carrots, cut into matchsticks ($.89/1 lb bag) = 10 cents
1/2 large or 1 small zucchini, cut into matchsticks ($.99/ lb.) = 24 cents
Total for veggies = 34 cents!
Total for dinner for two= ONE DOLLAR!
Directions:
Saute very thinly sliced onions until just BEFORE they brown, just a few crispy edges is good. I use olive oil, which I can get wholesale, but any good vegetable oil or even butter will do.
In a separate pan, lightly saute the veggies, or you can steam them or microwave them to a crisp/tender stage.
Prepare broken up spaghetti as box directs.
When pasta is done, drain and immediately break 1 egg into it, stirring quickly to coat the spaghetti. The heat of the pasta and the pan cooks the egg. Do not do this over heat!
Add the cheese and stir again, making sure that all is well mixed.
Add milk and give a quick stir (milk will absorb and make a nice coating).
Put pasta on plate and lightly heap sauteed onions on top. Put vegetables on plate next to pasta.
A few grinds of black pepper and maybe a little more cheese sprinkled on and you are ready to enjoy.

Well, if you have a thermos with a wide mouth, highly seasoned chili.
Some type of pita bread
An orange that you've wrapped to keep from freezing.
Hot coffee or tea seems to keep hotter in a thermos than hot cocoa/chocolate.
Oh, and don't forget the girl.

Peruvian Potatoes (from the Telegraph, a London Newspaper)
1 small red onion
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 pinches cayenne pepper
2 fresh green or red chillies
750g (1lb 10oz) small waxy potatoes, such as Charlotte
4 large eggs
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
175g (6oz) cottage cheese
150ml (5fl oz) double cream
1 level tsp turmeric
Peel the onion, slice finely into rings and place in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, cayenne pepper and a little salt. Stir, then cover and put to one side.
Cut open the chillies under running water, discard the seeds and stem, and chop finely. Wash the potatoes, and steam or boil until just cooked. Drain and leave until cool enough to handle.
Boil the eggs for about seven minutes; the yolk should be slightly soft (or you could just fry them). Heat the olive oil in a small pan over a low heat and fry the chopped chillies for two to three minutes.
Put the cottage cheese, cream, turmeric and a little salt into a food processor. Add the chillies along with the oil from the pan and whizz until smooth. Or just leave a little chunky be mixing it with a spoon.
Drain the onion rings. Cut the hot potatoes in half lengthways and arrange in a warmed serving dish. Peel the eggs (wait for a bit before you do this because hot eggs are well, hot), halve lengthways and arrange among the potatoes. Pour on the sauce, arrange the onion rings on top and serve.

Peruvian Potatoes
Sold!

BTW if you wanted to use steak fries or a baked potato you should be able to. I think waxy potatoes are the ones we call new potatoes, the small red ones that are a bit pricy.

Ah food!!!!!! :zombiefuck:
never mind, here is a dish that is a fave of mine. If you are veggie, do not add meat.
Fried Haloumi Salad
Haloumi cheese (sliced and fried with heaps of olive oil. Very salty)
Rocket or baby spinach leaves
Olives/grilled marinated eggplant/marinated mushrooms
Lamb strips (like for stir fry) fried in olive oil, salt and fresh lemon juice
Lemons
Garlic
pepper
balsamic vinegar
Place clean green salad leaves on plate. Then put cooked lamb strips (at room temp. not hot) on top of salad leaves. Then make dressing with balsamic vinegar, garlic and olive oil and pour that over the lamb strips and salad leaves. Place fried haloumi on top of that, then squeeze fresh lemon juice all over the meal. Add pepper and antipasto to the side of the salad.
Eat it 3 times a day and you will live long and prosper.

Anything with fiber in it that tastes half way decent?
-
Anything with fiber in it that tastes half way decent?
Unignore me for a bit and then re-ignore me.
Baked white or sweet potato
True whole wheat breads (check the fiber content on the nutrition label. There's one brand Double Fiber that is literally has twice the fiber of other breads)
Fiber One or the Bran Cereal that looks like small pretzel sticks. I've never had it, but if I did I'd probably just add a couple of spoons to cooked oatmeal to bulk it up
Fresh fruit such as apples, oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, pineapple (canned).
Brown rice
Vegetables such as celery, lettuce, corn
Simply making a salad and throwing some corn and beans on it will bulk up the fiber
-
Anything with fiber in it that tastes half way decent?
Easy and quick:
Pot of sweet peas, blend them.
Add some water and a broth cube.
Bring it to the boil.
Add some thin sliced sage and couple of minutes later some parsley (You could grow herbs in pots come year, and season all your food relatively cheap and really good)
Eat this soup with some whole wheat bread and you'll have lots of fibres, with lots of fluids coming with the meal too, since it is soup.
To make the soup even more tasty, and rich, add a dollop of sour cream and stir it well. Not necessary, but possible.
This may be too mild for your tastebuds. But, there is nothing wrong with experimenting with spices and herbs. Cooking your own food can be done cheap, and tasty, if you dare to invest first in spices and herbs.
You could make yourself some bean dishes, with lots of peppers in it. Beans are high fibre. And spicing it up may make you love them. Beans are a cheap way of getting your proteins too. Especially when you combine it with a grain component in your meal.
Adding some crushed flax-seed to yoghurt or to cereal makes a difference.
Chew everything you eat well. Drink lots of water. Fibres without enough fluids will only block you more, yes, fibres do become counter-productive if you forget to drink enough.
Tomatoes are a classic to get your system going again btw, as are some rye based cakes.

Haven't tried this, but it's something that will be on my list.
Savory Oatmeal. Add a little bit of olive oil, flaked sea salt, pepper and extra sharp white cheddar to your cooked oats. Add an egg on top, make sure the yolk is soft.
I don't really care for pumpkin pie spices, but pumpkin has fiber as well so here's another one:
Stirr pumpkin puree, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice into the cooked oatmeal and top with golden raisins and pecans/walnuts/peanuts. Just like pumpkin pie, it tastes great slightly chilled or at room temp.
This might make a nice late night snack.
-
Oatmeal cooked as directed on the box with a little milk, cinnamon and sugar would taste better than savory oatmeal, IMO.
Grits are good with cheese and a little salt, though. Grits with sugar taste gross to me.

What is/are grits?
Grits are a Southern staple food. It's fairly ground corn, slightly larger than grains of sands. Cook until soft and serve. They can be served savory (grits and cheese casserole, grits and grillades - old New Orleans dish, liver and onions and grits) or with milk and sugar.

:agreed:
Except, before grinding, the corn is heated with a weak lye or lime solution first to nixtamalize it, more commonly called making the corn into hominy, so it stores better and becomes a better source of niacin.
If corn is a dietary staple for someone and it is eaten without nixtamalization, there is so little niacin in a usable form for that person's body that they can develop pellagra. One of my great-grandmother's sisters developed pellagra.

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds cheap and filling.
Italian Sausage and White Bean Spaghetti Sauce
This recipe makes a great sauce for pasta or can be served as a bean stew. It is quick and easy to make.
Ingredients:
2-3 cans white beans, including liquid
2-3 cans petite cut tomatoes with olive oil and garlic, including liquid
1lb. Italian sausage or Italian seasoned ground turkey
1/4 tsp. oregano
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 tsp. minced or crushed garlic (optional)
Directions:
Brown the sausage or ground turkey. If using ground turkey, I find that I need to add one to two tablespoons of olive oil when browning the meat. Add chopped onion and continue cooking until the onion is soft and translucent. At this point you may add the optional extra garlic.
Add the white beans and canned tomatoes (including liquid). I also add the oregano at this point.
Cover and simmer on low for 30 to 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. I cook my stew/sauce in a cast iron pot.
Now it is ready to serve over pasta or alone as stew, with a green salad and some crusty bread to finish the meal.
This sauce improves with time so it is also great as leftovers the next day.
Servings: 8 - 10

Some general up-grade cooking hints from The Dollar Stretcher newsletter.
The Flavor Boosters
by Deborah Jeanne Sergeant
Easily transform your meals from bland to grand! It's hard for home cooks to achieve the triumvirate qualities of fast, inexpensive and tasty. Mixes and canned goods are fast and often cheap, but they can get boring and predictable. Adding just a little bit of a leftover or a common staple dresses up an ordinary dish for mere pennies, plus you don't have to go out and buy anything special. Here are a few ideas to help your go-to convenience foods go glam.
-Got Milk? Make any canned, condensed soup a cream soup by using it in place of water. Replace the water in a boxed or envelope mix with milk for a creamier side dish. Milk can also make cocoa mix creamier than when using water.
- Reserve the water in which you cook vegetables. Allow it to cool and freeze it in ice cube trays. It adds nutrients and flavor to reconstituted canned soup.
- Mushrooms, diced onion, sliced almonds and/or celery are delicious sauteed and added to rice pilaf, instant stuffing, or canned soup or stew. Also try a strip of crumbled bacon or cooked sausage to any of the above.
- Crush leftover croutons, flavored pretzels or seasoned potato chips to crumbs to top boxed au gratin potatoes or noodle side dishes.
- Save leftover cooked veggies to add to soup or envelopes of rice or noodle side dishes. If you add a little leftover meat, you'll have an easy and tasty casserole right from your stovetop.
- Extra cream cheese? Try it instead of butter in boxed mashed potatoes for a decadent flavor and creamy texture. Or soften it and blend it into store-bought frosting.
- Kick up the flavor of canned baked beans by draining off some of the liquid and adding a shot of barbecue sauce.
- Blend a dollop of peanut butter into store bought chocolate or vanilla frosting. It's delicious on a chocolate cake. Stirred into canned chili, peanut butter adds an unexpected flavor that will keep them guessing.
- A squirt of mustard makes boxed mac & cheese so much more interesting. It also makes the deli's potato salad edgier.
- A sprinkle of oregano jazzes up frozen pizza.
- Don't let that last banana spoil. If it's a bit soft, beat it into a cake mix, pancake mix, or cookie mix (reducing the other added liquid by 1/2 a cup). Or add it to oatmeal.
- Press sprinkles into refrigerated sugar cookie dough slices before you bake them. You'll also save time because you won't have to frost them.
- Impart a bright flavor to your store-bought sugar cookie mix by working in a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Cheese Apple Pie
Ingredients:
1 pie crust
2 cans apple pie filling
sugar and cinnamon, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
Bake pie crust according to directions. In saucepan, heat apples, add cinnamon and sugar to taste. Cook until heated all the way through. Put in pie crust and sprinkle cheese on top. Serve immediately.

This recipe doesn't need exact quantities for the ingredients, so it's sort of metric as well.
3 BEAN STEW
Ingredients
6 mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2
1 15-ounce can white beans, drained
1 15-ounce can red beans, drained
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained
1 8.25-ounce can sliced carrots, well drained
2 14.5-ounce cans Cajun style stewed tomatoes
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large pot and heat on stove, stirring occasionally, until warm (about 20 minutes).
Note: For variety, add 1 cup of your favorite cooked, diced meat, such as Polish sausage or chicken.
-
I think everyone should invest in a crockpot as it's so simple to use. My favourite easy meals are to put boneless/skinless chicken thighs with 2 bottles of your favourite sauce (I use Diana's Original BBQ) and cook on low all day. You can even put them in frozen. Or put a package of frozen Italian meatballs in with your favourite sauce. Serve either over a bed of rice with a salad on the side. Or with the chicken you can shred it and serve it on a bun with lots of sauce. Leftover ideas for the chicken: Add to nacho chips and add your favourite toppings and heat in the microwave until the shredded cheese on top melts. Put it in a salad. Add to soups and stews.

You forgot one thing, my Queen, and it's that grits are probably the blandest food you could possibly eat and it makes you wonder why the fuck would anyone eat that crap?
-
Grits are just corn, and are supposed to be bland. They are a base for wonderful things - my favorite being Shrimp & Grits.

Grits are comfort food to me. I like the saltiness. I often have cheese grits for b'fast with some ham. Love, love, love liver, onion and grits.
Never had shrimp and grits. Just doesn't seem right.
My mother would have grits with sugar, cream and butter for b'fast, but I don't care for sweet grits.

My mom randomly mashed together this lasania so much good stuff. It wasn't even a real recipe. Just thrown together. I told her what was in it wrote down the recipe and called the dish "Fuck You Joey"
She made it for my cousins Joey's birthday but Joey didn't come. He got wasted with his buddies instead
and probably fucked the pig of the week.
He comes when he wants my guitar gear. He did one time and I managed to scare him with Times New Roman Text. I sent him a tangent on facebook and he blocked me than my dad said he texted his mother saying Joey was scared that I would come into his dish pit and hit him (where hes been working the past four years)
He's scared of a woman scolding, bitching and ranting to him on facebook. So scared he had to message his mommy. Thats how pathectic my couisn is. He even gets the cab to bring him booze. Thats how lame he is.
The dish! FUCK YOU JOEY. Its lasagna with spinach, beef, feta cheese, three cheeses, whole wheat pasta, and sausages.

I'm posting this reciped in honor of my sister who caught 2 in her bedroom this week. She would have been much happier to catch one prince charming, but sometimes you have to live with what life gives you. I promise I won't do this again.
Possum and Taters
1 young, fat possum
8 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
salt
First, catch a possum. This in itself is excellent entertainment on a moonlight night. Skin the possum and remove the head and feet. Be sure to wash it thoroughly. Freeze overnight either outside or in a refrigerator.
When ready to cook, peel the potatoes and boil them tender in lightly salted water along with the butter and sugar. At the same time, stew the possum tender in a tightly covered pan with a little water. Arrange the taters around the possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle with thyme or marjoram, or pepper, and brown in the oven. Baste often with the drippings.

Dear Hubert, No, I haven't because I don't like peas. I imagine if given the opportunity to try oppossum I would try it. After all I enjoy deer sausage, alligator sausage, rabbit, raw oysters, clamari, sushi and tripe. I would probably draw the line a nutria however.
Anyway, here's a more pleasant low carbohydrate recipe.

Spaghettini with Mushrooms, Garlic, and OilFrom Food & Wine
Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes (optional)
2/3 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound spaghettini
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions
1.In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and the red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and the salt and cook until the mushrooms exude liquid, the liquid evaporates, and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
2.In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until just done, about 9 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushroom mixture, the parsley and the pepper.
3.Variations:
Spaghettini with Garlic and Oil: Eliminate the mushrooms and reduce the oil to 7 tablespoons. Just cook the garlic and red-pepper flakes for a minute and toss with the remaining ingredients.
Spaghettini with Walnuts, Garlic, and Oil: Eliminate the mushrooms and reduce the olive oil to 7 tablespoons. At the end, toss in 2/3 cup of toasted and chopped walnuts.
Spaghettini with Salami, Garlic, and Oil: Eliminate the mushrooms and reduce the olive oil to 7 tablespoons. Cut 1/4 pound of sliced salami into thin strips and toss it into the spaghettini with the parsley and black pepper.

This is sort of a half-assed potatoes au gratin, simpler and faster. Probably for the winter months.
Cheesy Hashbrowns.
30-oz. pkg. frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
2 c. sour cream

My sister caught a 3rd possum in her bedroom (told her she needs to pick up a better grade of guy at the barroom). It didn't spring the trap and was crawling out, so she caught it by the neck. Anyway she and I were talking about it tonight and she mentioned that she'd heard they were a fatty animal.

Bisquick Breakfast Bites
Ingredients
16 oz cheddar or any kind of cheese
3 cups bisquick
16 oz breakfast sausage (the kind in the roll)

mix all ingredients together. Add a little more bisquick if too sticky, but it seems to turn out with some stickiness involved. roll into little balls. place on cookie sheet and cook for 13-15 minutes at 375. cool. and enjoy.

Cheesy hashbrowns? "Hash" is Dutch for hashish. And recipes with that would be considered more than cheesy in many countries I guess. :asthing:

Oh lol, we have really fucked up regulations here. It isn't legal, but tolerated. All kinds of funny things to just keep it working. I wonder if there are more patched up regulations than the ones about cannabis here. A place not far from me is now getting into formal problems, because they wanted to make a prohibition of selling and buying weed illegal in their whole town. They are not allowed to do that. They have to leave the option open that at least at one place in their area selling and buying could be allowed. Doesn't mean that they have to allow it, they just are not allowed to make it impossible beforehand..... Weird regulations everywhere. And it differs from suburb to suburb too in a bigger town.

But having laws and breaking them is even braver, like the Greeks and guns: the Greeks have a cowardly gun law like most of Europe, but many of them don't give a shit. Crete has 8% of the Greek population and 25% (estimately) of the illegal guns in Greece. Now is that :viking: or what? :thumbup:

LOL, that's the weird thing. Every user of Cannabis is breaking the law here, but it is condoned. And we take pride in the condoning. We have legally created a grey area between legal and illegal, and, as long as it works, it is fine. Would be braver if the government had the guts to take it a step further though.
-
Governments rarely have guts.
In Sweden there is no grey area concerning such things. You can easily get jailed overnight just for being drunk in public, even though alcohol is legal.

I also own several electric warming dishes and trays. When I cook up Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners I go all out. Takes 3 full days to do all the cooking and I need lots of stuff to keep things warm and yummy. :autism:

Thanksgiving is usually simple because it's just the three of us. We have a Jewish Christmas. We go eat at a Chinese Buffet. It felt weird the first year, but now it's a tradition. Love that sushi.

Likely not too bad. Have heard of parents mixing veggies into fruit smoothies for kids who won't eat them. Say the fruit overpowers in flavor so veggie flavor's not noticed.
-
I love Spinach, but cold chopped up raw leaves mixed with ice and fruit sounds terrible.
-
Might also create a color not to be desired.

Then you would have been glad that you missed my first cooking attempt. I heard that food should be colorful, so I put yellow and blue food coloring in the egg mixture for French Toast. Not only was it unappetizing in itself, but when the toast browned in the pan it amplified the yuck factor. I was the only one to eat it.

Woops I had the recipe wrong. It also takes one banana, peeled and sliced. And it's actually 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt or plain. I prefer vanilla.

It's the recipe I got from my cooking teacher. We did cooking classes together for protein because I wasn't getting enough for the baby. It was all simple recipes we'd do and she had some bonus like smoothies or pancakes. I thought it was gross at first too but she told me it was actually good and to try it so we did and I liked it. I am not fond of vegetable smoothies but it was mixed with fruit and this smoothie actually tasted good.

I'm not sure why I resist fruit/veggie smoothies. After all I eat other fruit/veggie combinations: carrot salad, fast food salads with apples and lettuce, etc.

This might interest some folks. Soak some raisins in water (or whiskey) to soften them. Add them to pancake or maple syrup and add some cinnamon. Spoon over pancakes for cinnamon raisin pancakes. I came across a recipe for this from scratch, but thought this might be easier to do.

That sounds very spicy and delicious! Do you think it tastes better when :scotch: is used?

No to Scotch. I usually use Praline Liquer (probably banned in Boston), but rum, amaretto, calvados, etc. would do well.

Found the thread again. Didn't realize it had been so long so that's why I started the pancake pizza thread.

Eve's Delite Salmon Fritters with Sweet potato
Ingredients
1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes, chopped;
1 medium onion, diced;
1 Sweet pepper, diced;
¼ cup celery, diced;
1 can (198g) pink salmon;
3/4 cup whole kernel corn;
2 teaspoon fish seasoning; (I have no idea exactly what this is, but lemon pepper seasoning or dill might work)
1 teaspoon salt;
1 egg beaten;
1 cup bread crumbs
Method
Boil the sweet potato until tender, drain and mash
To sweet potato add sweet pepper, salmon, corn egg and Seasonings
Mix well
Form 20 small patties and coat with breadcrumbs.
Pan fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown
Serving suggestions:Serve fritters with Mango sauce or any piquant sauce of your choice
Notes:Salmon Fritters, are simply delicious. They are a mouthwatering delight which can be varied. Instead of sweet potatoes sweet cassava could be used. The fritters are delicious all by themselves but are even more delicious when had with a sauce.
The patties made with sweet potato are healthy alternatives to fritters made with flour. While baking is even healthier, the end product when fried is more striking in color and tastier

2 teaspoon fish seasoning; (I have no idea exactly what this is, but lemon pepper seasoning or dill might work)
It sounds like Old Bay would work pretty good there. Yummy :autism:

When you get a chance, maybe you could post some easy to fix recipes? I started the thread to help out the culinarily and/or financially challenged members.

I'll have to think about that. Problem is that I didn't ever work at a place that did easy or cheap meals. My wife does the day to day cooking and I break out the big guns for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any day that requires some flair. My usual meal requires 2 days of prep time and 8 hours in the kitchen on the actual day.

Hyke did you peel the cucumber and remove the seeds?
-
^
No, I washed it, and it was a thin cucumber with immature seeds. So, no need to remove them. Had it been a thick cucumber with way more developed seeds, I would have done that. But, it has been a very long time since I saw a cucumber like that.

Just odd enough that it might taste good. Taken in whole from another website, Thrifty Fun.
PICKLED GRAPES
These might sound really weird, but they are so good! They look like pretty olives, and can be used in salad instead of olives, or just as a sweet-sour pickle to make your plate look nice and lend a little tang to your meal.
I am giving directions for 1 pint jar, but you can make as many pints as you want. They get better after a day or so of marinating, and last for a week or so. The vinegar turns a nice rosy color. Keep refrigerated - they are best when chilled. This is my version of a recipe I found.
Ingredients:
enough seedless grapes to fill a pint jar almost full
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small hot pepper, cut in half
3/4 cup, more or less, of white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar
a pinch of salt
Directions:
Put the grapes in a pint jar. I like to use a mixture of red, green, and black. Use nice sweet ones. Put the rest of the ingredients into a small saucepan and heat to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as it boils, and pour over the grapes. Add enough hot water to make it cover the grapes. When this has cooled, screw the lid on and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
Source: From "The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern" by Matt Lee and Ted Lee. They add more salt, less sugar, hot pepper flakes instead of a fresh pepper, and they add a sprig of rosemary.
