Whats for dinner?? Post your recipes here or come search for one. UPDATED DAILY

I love to cook, but hate the dishes and clean-up!

Hey OG

How are things working out for you with your daughter and all that?

Hi Flava,

Things have been better...thank you for asking.
She has 3 weeks to go before she is due to have her child. I think she will go early. Just a feeling.

Here is our favorite

Stuffed Peppers

12 large bell peppers
2 cups cooked rice
1 egg
2 lbs 92% ground beef (preferred for less oil and shrinkage but not mandatory)
Generous sprinkling of Cilantro
Pinch of Fenugreek
Ground Pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic
1 large onion, finely chopped
Black pepper to personal taste
3 cans of tomato paste
1 can of tomato sauce

The stuffing, mix the cooked rice with the ground beef add the onion, cilantro, Fenugreek, Ground Pepper, and Garlic until blended and evenly distributed.

Remove the stems from the peppers and remove the seeds and extra growth from the peppers then fill them with the stuffing. If you have, extra stuffing after filling the peppers then make the rest into meatballs and toss them into the pot.

It is best to dilute the 3 cans of tomato paste with water before pouring into the pot then add the tomato sauce then water so that all the peppers are covered. Bring to a boil then drop the heat and cook until the peppers are soft and you can have a dinner for two days.

Thankyou for sharing that. I never thought of putting cilantro in stuffed peppers, I bet it gives it great flavor.

Hi Mama

All cleaned up and unpacked from your vacation?

Old Guard

Glad to hear things are working out. Does she know if its a girl or boy, and does she have names picked out? At least she wont have to carry through the summer when its hot.

She's having another boy. And yes, she has several odd names picked out. I guess we'll see. Thanks for asking.
On the above stuffed pepper recipe, I noticed that they use fenugreek seeds. Did you know that I make a tea with them to use as a gargle for sore throat? Very effective.

No, I have no idea what its flavor is. I have heard of it but never used it.

very bitter in a tea. Quite yucky, actually, but really does the job. You can always chase the gargle afterwards with water or other sweet tea.

It's been a while since someone posted anything so here you go:

Baked Mac & Cheese
1 lb Rotini or elbow noodles
2 cups half and half (can also use milk)
3 Tbs Unsalted butter
1 Tsp Pepper
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 1/2 Cups grated Sharp Cheddar
1 1/2 Cups grated Swiss or Gouda

Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta to Al Dente then strain and rinse with cold water, set aside. Combine half and half, cream cheese, butter, salt & pepper in suacepan and heat till cream cheese has melted. Mix noodles and grated cheese in baking dish, then add milk & cream cheese mixture. Bake 30 minutes.

Yum!

SO,
That sounds so good! I might have to make that tomorrow!

By the way, have you ever heard of Mac N Cheese made with cottage cheese?

Thanks for the recipe! Will have to post some too soon!

I love cottage cheese! You should post that one.

Oh, I was actually looking for one. I had it a long time ago when I lived in Georgia. It had this distinctive taste with the cheddar cheese. It was soooo good!

Thread: Major Disclosure Announcement from Dr. Steven Greer

My family loves mac n cheese, I will have to try this one too.

More than 30 days without a recipe?! Did you guys give up and buy stock in Mickey D's?!!

Ugh. Make my stomach lurch. LOL. Long, dreary, exhausting day here and I ordered pizza. Ate half a slice. UGH! It was nasty. Shoulda eaten leftovers....or anything else. Now you mention Micky D's.

Last night we took corn off the cob and fried it up with bacon. Not the healthiest but sure was tasty!

No.....Stop......no fresh veggie talk. Oh yuum. Want...me..fresh...veggies.

you will be getting your veggies soon, along with the weeds and all the work, but it is rewarding! I have to pick green beans today, and tomatoes AGAIN

Yes. Waiting patiently. Mmmm. Green beans. Was so hungry for veggies that yesterday I fixed some of last years garden baby limas (the "real" baby limas, not the big white starchy things) with okra and corn, then stir fried some yellow and zuchinni squash with onions, cornbread and ready for it? Sliced tomatoes.

Today was bbq baby back ribs, baked potato, salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, sliced boiled egg, sliced zuchinni, and topped with ranch dressing. Sherbet for dessert. It was fine.

Good Evening, Good Morning, according to where you may be,

Haven't been on here in awhile, but do think of you guys often.

I hope everyone is doing fine!

I was taking a last look at some newspaper articles before going to bed, and came across these yummy award-winning barbecue sauce recipes.

I thought you guys might want to try one or two for the summer barbecues, so here is the link:

Barbecue sauce doesn't get better than this

That sounds really good!

Thanks Koffee, this is the time of year for them, thats for sure!

I was wondering where youve been.

Ready salted face , ready in minutes.

Vegetable Fritters

You can use any combination of veggies for this recipe. I used:
2 small potatoes,peeled
1 med, carrot, peeled
2 med. zucchini

I ran it through my food processor on grate. Roll it in paper towels to get the excess moisture out. Put in bowl, and sprinkle about 2 Tbsp flour over it, and combine.
Add 3 eggs, and beat it lightly til covered.
Heat about 1/4 inch of iol in pan, and fry like pancakes to whatever size you want. Drain on paper.
We like these with homemade chunky tomato sauce.

One of my favorites:
A quick lunch

1 can chinese vegetables [small or large]
drain well
put in bowl and add 2-3 eggs[small can] or 5-6 eggs[large can]
beat really good. fry in a little oil, turning when browned.
make a packet of pork gravy mix, and add a few drops of soy sauce. This is the closest I can get to egg fu yung.
