What's your favorite thing to cook?
Discogoddess I can't recall your dish for Valentine's day but can you refresh my memory?(It was a romantic dinner) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif I feel like getting in the kitchen and experimenting! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Gimmie some ideas! Don't forget the important details. |
ohhhhh...I loveee to cook.
Mississippi Style My favorite of all times things to cook is 1)fried chicken with rice and gravy,candy yams,greens,corn bread, and some red kool-aid. lol.. 2)Turkey necks, pig feet, tripe*if u don't know what that is, trust me u don't wanna know.* 3)Stemed Alaskan Crablegs 4)Boiled Crabs,Corn,pototes,shrimp 5)CRAWfish(not cray) 6)Gumbo 7)Peach Cobbler 8)Apple Pie Of course I'm from the South..why do u ask?..lol bye |
exquizit,
A romanitic dinner to me is more about the ambiance (sp?) than the food, so I one for breaking out the candles, fine china, crystal, music, etc. when I've cooked spaggetti (sp?)! LOL Easy at home dishes for me are different chicken dishes. I stock up on boneless chicken breasts when they are on sale and will bake them, barbeque them (in the oven) or smother them in mushroom soup gravy. If I need to take a dish to a party I usually do King Ranch Chicken, which is a casarole with chicken, Rotel tomatoes (they have peppers in them), cheese and tortelias (sp?). It's easy and good. I can bring the recipe to work tomorrow if you are interested. I also make a spinach dip that gets rave reviews and is very easy to make. |

My favorite thing to cook is Chess pie. Most people that I tell about Chess pie don't know what it is but I love it. I also love Pork Chops, pinto beans and hot water corn bread, but I can't make pinto beans like my grandmama does. Oh and certainly smothered cabbage.

My FAVORITE thing to cook is ramen noodles with veggies and tofu (quick and GOOD), but the meal you referred to was broiled salmon, marinated in olive oil, garlic, lemon pepper and whatever else I threw in there; bowtie pasta tossed with tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, etc.; grilled asparagus; side salad with hothouse tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions, tossed with my own special Italian dressing; garlic bread; pate, goat cheese, green grapes and crackers (appetizer); German white wine (name/type escapes me); chocolate chunk brownies with frosting; and a dessert wine (sparkling, can't remember name/type right now).
My husband and I recently made a SLAMMIN' steak dinner, with thin-cut porterhouses done on the George Foreman (spiced with steak seasoning and garlic); grilled portabella mushrooms and onions; beefsteak tomatoes; baked potatoes; a velvety Merlot; and garnished with horseradish, steak sauce and a dash of Tabasco. I'm getting hungry thinking about that meal now! [This message has been edited by Discogoddess (edited March 06, 2001).] |
Thank you DG!!

Great Recipes from the NARTH (intentionally misspelled) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
1)Sauteed Spinach Base: Olive oil and onions sauteed Then stir in fresh spinach allowing it to wilt. Stir ingredients together. Insert feta cheese and a little Lawry's to taste. This would be good with DG's salmon 2)Basil and Oregano Chicken Clean chicken. Season with garlic powder, Lawry's, salt, and pepper. Chop onions, mushrooms and garlic cloves. Put chicken into casserole dish (that you can put in the oven), and sprinkle the onions, mushrooms, and garlic cloves on top. Sprinkle heavily with basic and oregano. Close casserole lid, and put in oven at temperature of 425 degrees. 3) Baked ziti- prepare this the way you normally would (boiling ziti, preparing sauce with peppers, mushrooms, basil, oregano, garlic and onion powder), but instead of ground beef, use Butterball Turkey sausage and ground turkey. It's light and good! I have more recipes. If you'd like some "northern" cuisine, try B.Smith's cookbook. Her ginger chicken recipe is really good. Remember, that Black northerners and southerners are only seperated in history by the Great Migration...we still cook the same foods. Some northerners just experiment with many different foods because of the ethnic diversity in most northern cities. I speak as a native New Yorker.

I looooooove broccoli casserole! Now, I've changed the recipe around to fit my own tastes so don't ask me for specific measurements. All I know is that I mix one can of cream of chicken, one egg, some mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper together with the broccoli and bake.

I LOVEEEEEEEEE Baked Ziti! A close friend of mine cooked some one evening while we had a ladies Evening out (Sorta like on Waiting to Exhale)It was wonderful!
I hope you know I was just picking with you guys! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I have family all over the globe and we SHARE cooking secrets. DG, I'm glad you're sharing your love of veggies, can you believe I'm a grown woman and I'm just starting to eat them? At first It took a bit of getting used to and finding the right way to prepare them. Now I can't imagine a meal without at least a few. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif |

Girl yeah...well I know you were kidding. Some folks are sensitive in this piece. My parent's are from the south. Somebody mentioned turkey necks...shoot. I LUVS me some necks. Bought some at the farmer's market last week. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |

THANK YOU, Nikki! I wish we black folks would remember that more often...I find it amusing that we feel the need to separate over non-issues (since all of our mamas/daddies/grandmamma/grandaddies have roots in the SOUTH, somewhere!). IT AIN'T THAT SERIOUS... Exquizit: I don't know what else to tell you about the meals (you said you were looking for recipes)...I prepared the foods exactly as I described them...pretty simple, yet VERY yummy. The only thing I would add is that the veggies only need to be grilled a couple of minutes on the Foreman. AND, I'm not sure if your beef is with asparagus or artichokes (you said artichokes; I mentioned asparagus), but I can tell you that asparagus is GOOD, especially steamed/grilled with some garlic, lemon and olive oil. Try it! [This message has been edited by Discogoddess (edited March 07, 2001).] |

Do you guys bake your mac-n-cheese? I love it! I use three different types of cheese:Cheddar, colby, and american. I shred all three(8oz) in a large bowl then add two eggs, and can and 1/2 of evaporated milk, salt, pepper, accent, and a dash of Tony's Charchere's seasoning. I stir it all really well before I add it all to my noodles(I use all types of noodles, it just depends on my mood)I put it all in a baking dish and bake on 350 until the cheese on top gets a light brown.

Hey Ladies,
I have this pasta dish that I love to make...especially when I want to be in a romantic mood with my sweetie (that's why I've been away so long). It calls for grilled chicken breast, jumbo shrimp, mushrooms, olives, and bell peppers. Stir-fry it all together in the Wok and add the Marinara sauce at this point. Before long it will be ready to eat, but don't forget to cover it with a little bit of shredded parmasan cheese (optional). I like to serve this dish with a fresh green salad and my homemade salad dressings. I also like to bake my own bread with this one now that I have my bread maker http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
In just baked another one of my favorite recipies!
Cheesecake! The quick and easy way. A ready made graham cracker crust, 16oz of cream cheese, 3tbspoons of vanilla extract,1/2 cup sugar, and two eggs. After getting the cheese at room temperature put it all in a bowl and blend until smooth, then put the mixture in the crst and bake in a pre-heated (350)oven until the sides are golden brown(That's how I like it) It was so good, and I didn't slave over it! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif |

SMOTHERED POTATOES WITH MEAT ( I eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner )
-Take a few white potatoes ( can't remember the correct name-they come in the bag at the grocery stores ), peel, cut and clean them in cold water-then season to taste ( I use Lawry's, garlic salt and black pepper ). -Put a bit of oil in a pot, heat it, then add potatoes and cook until they become translucent ( see through ) or as tender as you'd like. -Add sliced yellow onion and cubed meat pieces ( I usually use ham/sausage that has been previously cooked, but any kind will do-it's all on your preferences) and water to the pot, put lid over it and let it cook until the potatoes are soft and the water has cooked down. -You will know when the potatoes are done when they are tender, and they look almost mushed (easily breakable) ------------------ "Mind ya own, stay true to ya own, be ya own."

Hey everyone..I'm in search of an exceptional barbecue sauce. I've looked through a few cookbooks on soul/southern cuisine and believe that there wasn't any family recipes to speak of. And when I tried the sauces, they weren't...uh, speaking to a sister!
So, if you have an exceptional (in your opinion) recipe, would you mind posting it here. Alternatively, if you have a book recommendation that contains excellent BBQ sauce recipes, that would be much appreciated. I'd prefer ending my days of getting my sauce fix from the Kraft, and Piggly Wiggly bottles....I wanna make my OWN sauce. Suggestions please! |
Girl I never knew how to make my own but I kick mine up a notch
I usually use Kraft's hickory smoke sauce then add Lea & Perrins, mustard, and a pinch of sugar. I know it sounds WAYYYYYY off but it's really good. When I can find it I also add in a little Open Pit sauce. The combo changes the falvor to the point when people ask where in the world I found such a great sauce....I tell 'em it was a secret family recipe! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |

Turducken :p
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Show: Food Network Specials Episode: Paula's Southern Thanksgiving Recipe Summary Difficulty: Medium Prep Time: 30 minutes Inactive Prep Time: 8 hours Cook Time: 5 hours Yield: 25 servings, as main course Recipe Brine: 1 cup kosher salt 1 cup brown sugar 1 gallon water 18 to 21-pound turkey, skin intact and boned except for drumsticks House seasoning, recipe follows Cornbread Dressing, recipe follows 3 to 4-pound duck, boned 3 to 4-pound chicken, boned Paprika To make the brine: Mix salt and sugar with the water. Brine is ready when the mixture is completely dissolved. If the water is heated to quicken the process, make sure it is cooled to room temperature before placing meat in. Let the 3 birds sit in brine in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat roaster to 500 degrees F. Lay turkey skin side down on a flat surface. Dust turkey with House Seasoning and add 1/4-inch layer of cornbread dressing. Lay duck skin side down on top of dressing. Dust duck with House Seasoning and add 1/4-inch layer of dressing. Repeat with the chicken. Begin trussing up the turkey at the neck. Insert metal skewer about 1/2-inch from the edge and up through the other side. Run butcher's twine between skin and skewer and tighten to draw both sides together. Continue down to legs. With every other skewer, draw together the duck and chicken skin. Tie together turkey legs to resemble standard turkey. Dust turkey skin with paprika. Roast turducken for 15 minutes. Then turn the roaster down to 225 degrees F to finish, approximately 3 hours. Remove turducken from roaster once the internal temperature in the chicken reaches 155 degrees F. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Cut across the middle of the breast completely through. Plate thin slices containing turkey, duck and chicken. Cook's Notes: If using a smoker to cook, smoke at 225 degrees F for 5 hours, rotating every 20 to 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F and external temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Try to keep the flare-ups from the fire to a minimum. House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Cornbread Dressing Cornbread: 1 cup self rising cornmeal 1/2 cup self-rising flour 3/4 cup buttermilk 2 eggs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Dressing: 7 slices white bread, dried in warm oven Cornbread 1 sleeve saltine crackers 2 cups chopped celery 1 large onion, chopped 8 tablespoons butter 7 cups chicken stock 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried sage 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning 5 eggs, beaten Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. To make the cornbread, combine all ingredients and pour into a greased shallow baking dish. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. To make the dressing, crumble dried white bread slices, cornbread and crackers. Mix together and set aside. Saute chopped celery and onion in butter until transparent, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over corn bread mixture. Add stock, mix well and add salt, pepper, sage, and poultry seasoning. Add beaten eggs and mix well. Follow instructions above to stuff birds. |
