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

Thanks! I just put this thread in my personal pins, I'll be back more frequently now. They were really good!

so is that a towel over your shoulder or are you on your way to a toga party?

Lol, I had just finished skinny dipping, it is a t-shirt that I used as a towel. I am still naked in the pic, haha.

Don't ask. You don't want to know. Seriously. You really don't want to know.

oh, well I got no follow up for that one

Lol, that's not so bad is it?



I mean what I posted.

Lol, yea, that's ok. Let's leave it at that, haha.

LOL.

What I wanna know is who took the pic

Lol, my ex gf's friend. Don't worry my ex was there, it wasn't anything like I was cheating or anything.

At home cut up the potatoes in really small cubes like 1/2 inch and the onions and throw them in a ziplog with olive oil and your herbs. When you get the camp just put it together with the aluminum foil

Gotya, it would be easier to cut them up at home rather than out in the woods. I was thinking about making some ghee, has anyone ever tried?

I have tried making ghee, didn't work out for me. Found it was easier to just buy it. It seems to last forever.

Kayaking, camping, beer, skinny dipping, and you can cook too? Damn, I want your life!

Beef. It's what's for dinner.

There's a thousand recipes for beef...what's your favorite?

Asian Beef BBQ Marinade

1/4 c soy sauce
2T brown sugar
2tsp white sugar
2tsp sesame oil
1 clove galic, minced
3/4 tsp siracha sauce (hot sauce)
1 T chopped mint
1 T chopped cilantro

mix all together until sugar is dissolved. Use skirt steak (very thin cut of beef). Marinate for at least an hour. Cook on preheated grill (very hot)-- you want the meat to char.

Cook several minutes each side. Slice thin and serve over arugula tossed in sesame soy vinaigrette.

Perfect summer dinner!

I'm in! This sounds soooo good!

It is so yummy:)

And...what I'm making for din tnite!

I make something like that without the hot sauce called korean beef and it IS really good.

The Asian Beef marinade sounds good. Something along that line sounded good to me today so I fixed Orange Chicken and put it over rice and had green beans and carrots with it. Think it would have been perfect if I'd added some snow peas, but I used broccoli instead.

Mixed a cup of water with a half cup of orange juice. Grated about a Tablespoon of the orange peel for zest, added a dash of rice vinegar, a couple T. spoons of soy sauce and heated.

Then I added a cup of brown sugar a little ginger, a little garlic, a chopped green onion and a few pepper flakes. When that was mixed, I added a few water chestnuts and little broccoli pieces.

Then I put the cubed chicken pieces in a baggie with flour and corn starch and browned it in a little olive oil.

When browned, I drained it, wiped out the remaining oil, and put the sauce with a couple T. spoons of corn starch over the chicken.

I simmered it until thick, about 5 min. or so, then put it over rice.

It's better if you marinade the chicken in part of the sauce, but I was hungry and didn't want to wait. 8)

I haven't been cooking much this summer as the kids are all over the place and I never know who will be eating here so I've just had some easy to fix stuff on hand that I can toss together whenever and this is one of those type recipes. School starts next week here already(!) so I'll be planning regular meals again and will share some more recipes that involve actual cooking, but for now...

Here's an easy, yummy meal we enjoy. Nothing fancy and you wouldn't want it everyday as I'm sure it's not the healthiest meal ever, but it is very tasty, quick to put together and filling.


Oven Baked Chili Dogs

1 Package Hot Dogs
1 Package Hot Dog Buns
1 16 oz Can of Chili (i use Hormel w/ beans)
1 cup or so of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 handful French's Onions (like in the green bean casserole)
some Mayo for spreading

Heat oven to 350.

Spread Mayo inside hot dog buns on both sides. I know that sounds strange but trust me.
Put a hot dog in each bun and place each in 13x9 pan. It will be crowded, but they should all fit.
Spoon the entire can of canned chili over the top, then the shredded cheese and then top with the fried onions. Try to get into the buns a little, but it's ok if it's on top.

Cover with foil (try not to have it resting on the top of the food so the cheese doesn't stick) and bake for 45 minutes.

You'll need a fork to eat these! I usually serve with something light on the side like apple slices or veggies & dip.

Yum. The buns get a kind of crunchy, chewy texture from the mayo and then all the melty chili cheese goodness... mmm. They are also good leftovers!

Note: Some recipes call for also adding sweet relish and/or mustard when you spread on the mayo, but I haven't tried it that way since I know my kids wouldn't eat it.

put it in the toaster and call it grilled cheese (hold the cheese)

CROCK-POT venison

Venison--2 round steaks, or a shoulder roast, or similar
1/2 Bell Pepper, cubed
1/2 onion sliced
4 sticks celery, sliced
1/2 cup baby carrots, sliced
1 cup snap peas
Water to cover
2 tbsp Soy sauce
1/2 tsp Cumin

Crock pot on high for 4 hours

Allow to cool, spoon off the few fat globules.

Reheat on low.

Very low fat.

sounds good to me...

Yea it does!

Hey Patrick how was the trip?

Awesome! I had a lot of fun! None of us caught any fish, but we saw 2 bald eagles, so that kind of made up for it.

great. Its all about the experience anyway

I finally had a chance to take a look at some of the awesome recipes on this thread! Great job everyone! I am looking forward to trying a few.

I need to go pack for the trip to the cottage, but will come back with a few really great recipes to share!
