Food Cooking

Well since I know half of use just love to cook, and ALL of us just love to eat. So I'd like to see a picture of something youve made; the recipe, and some other stuff.

 

Well, I don't have any pictures, but I'll post a recipe of mine anyway. I'm going to follow Saber's recommended structure as well.

Region: Greater Cincinnati Area
Name: Chili Three-Way
Ingredients:
1 Pkg. Cincinnati-Style chili mix
1 lb. beef
1 Pkg. Spaghetti
2 oz. Shredded mild cheddar

Recipe:
First, you probably won't need all the chili mix. I believe there's enough for 8 servings per packet; unless you're serving a family, that's a lot. You do have to prepare it all at once, though, so be sure you like chili first.

Prepare the chili according to the packet. I can't remember exactly, but I believe this is how to do this: heat one gallon of water in a pot, add the seasoning and wait for it to boil. Then add the beef (DO NOT BROWN IT! That part I remember :anime: ) Cook the whole mess for an hour, breaking up the beef as you do so.

Prepare the spaghetti the way it's supposed to be prepared. The package (again) is the best way to go about this. Also, you'll only need a small bit of the spaghetti, about a quarter of the package should do it.

Place the spaghetti on the serving dish (be it plate, bowl, etc.) and add chili to the top to suit your tastes. One to two cups should be enough. Sprinkle the cheddar on top, and eat!

 

It's not mostly pre-made. Sure, the chili spices are pre-packaged, but that's it. :shy3: Sorry, I'm not exactly a master chef.

 

Here's a few of my favourites:
Jerk Sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1/4 cup pickapepper or Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs vegetable oil
2 tbs sugar1 tbs salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp allspice
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp Tabasco sauce
1. Mix all ingredients together in stainless steel or glass bowl
2. Refrigerate until ready to use

Very easy, very tasty.

Maple Barbeque Chicken
3 tbs maple syrup
3 tbs chili sauce
½ to 1 tbs cider vinegar
1 or 2 tsp dijon mustard
4 chicken breasts
1 tbs vegetable oil
salt & black pepper to taste
1. preheat grill to med-high heat
2. in saucepan, blend maple syrup, chili sauce, vinegar and mustard
3. brush the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper
4. grill until cooked thoroughly, turning occasionally and brushing with sauce (a/b 10 min)

I wish I could pretend I made those two up, but they both come from old recipe books.

Here's one of my own, though. Please note that there's not going to be any quantitative measures because I make this off the top of my head and this is the only time I've ever written it down.

Garlic Cheese Bread
1 loaf of bread, unsliced (the good stuff, like from a bakery, not that prepackaged crap)
Various cheeses (sliced) - I recommend blending sharp cheddar and mozzarella, or buying a nice brie or havarti
butter
garlic, diced (or you can cheap out and buy garlic powder)
1. Slice the bread in half, lengthwise
2. Spread butter across the surface of the bread
3. Sprinkle garlic (or powder, as it were) over the butter, using as much as you want
4. Layer cheese over bread
5. Broil for 5-10 minutes
6. Cut into pieces and serve

 

ok, this one is one of my favorites:

* 1 cup of milk
* Froot loops
* Frosted Flakes

Procedure:

Pour the milk, Froot loops and Frosted Flakes in a bowl, eat hot or cold.

XD

And remember kids, Kellogs cereals comes with all the vitamins and minerals your body needs, start your day with bowl of cereal!!!

its no joke, well, it is a joke, but its pretty much all i can cook¬¬
plus, frootloops+frosted flakes is a good combination, try it out :anime:

 

I loooove cooking.

I'll make bascially anything and try to cook anything once. Does anyone here make any sort of ethic food?
I make....

• Chinese Food
• French Food
• Rin-land food (My own national cooking... a combo of basically anything!)

Mmmmm
I just ate ramen.

 

Does French toast count? ^_^'

* 2 - 3 eggs
* Splash of milk
* Pinch of salt
* Bread (Usually about 3 slices for the amount of eggs used)
* Tomato sauce

Crack eggs into lid of casorol dish, splash in enough milk to cover space not occupied by egg, add salt, whisk until mixed, put slice of bread in it, give about 2 mins then turn it over so it soaks up mixture, pick up (Quickly... it tends to slop apart) & place in pre-heated frying pan (Yes, involve cooking oil if you need to ask) cook until bits ~That look burned~ appear, then flip over. Repeat with other slices. Then tiny bit of tomato sauce & spread it on with knife, cut, eat, enjoy ^_^

 

I can make a little Mexican ... mostly fajitas, some variants of tacos and of course my bean enchiladas, which are always fun.
I'm trying to convince my mother and grandmother to teach me a little Italian, but I'm going to have to go home to learn any of that stuff.
There is such a wealth of culinary knowledge in my family that if I took the time to write down a few recipes from everyone I could make a whole cookbook ... there's an idea; could make a decent Christmas present for the parents or something.
Anyway, I'm hoping to learn my mom's recipes for spaghetti sauce or lasagna (her two specialties) or at least her minestrone. I guess I'm going to have to buy a little more gear before I'm ready for that kind of project.

By the way, I don't know if you consider this cooking, but I make a mean martini.

I normally make the brazillian or mexican way of this food but this is the recipe i got from the restaraunt i was eating while in PR. and yes you are silly

 

I like simple food but good.

Sausage and Rice
1 lb of ground Sausage
I box of Seasoned Rice (can be any)
1 can of mushroom soup
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 cup of milk

Brown sausage add a little pepper to taste. Drain sausage once fully cooked. Make Rice as directed but adding in Sausage and tomatoes. Almost done add soup and milk. Rice will get ride of any extra liquid.

*You can switch the Sausage with Brats. ans Chop them up.

My Sister gets cravings for this alot.

 

Then you'll love this one. I picked it up from a friend at school.

Grilled Peppers
Ingredients:
Green Pepper
Sweet Red Pepper
Olive Oil
Other non-spicy peppers (optional)
Spices (optional)

1. Chop the peppers. Don't cut them too small, but don't make huge chunks either. You're not dicing, and you aren't slicing either. Should be pieces maybe between 3 and 5 sq. cm.
2. Place the chopped peppers in the centre of a sheet of aluminum foil. Make sure your piece of foil is large enough to wrap the peppers. You may want to make several "paquets" so they cook faster, because a large pack takes longer to cook than a small.
3. Drizzle the peppers with a small amount of oil. This speeds cooking.
4. Sprinkle on any spices you may want to use. Most people would probably go with salt and pepper, but when cooking for family and friends, I ALWAYS use Montreal Steak seasoning.
5. Close the foil around the peppers and pop them on the barbeque or grill. Depending on the heat of your 'que, cooking time could vary, but generally between 15 and 30 minutes should do you just fine.

Prep time's like 5 minutes. This goes REALLY well with either jerk chicken or barbequed steak. My dad sometimes likes a little onion in there as well. Just make sure you don't use too much, or all you'll taste is the onion. You can also use as many or as few peppers as you like, depending on number of mouths to feed and their appetites.
