Hey! It's not quite your long weekend, yet! Quit yer loafing, missy!Thanks! I knew there was another one somewhere but didn't spend a lot of time looking for it.
I love to cook. So does my husband. He works from home, so does most of the weekly cooking. I take over on the weekends. People frequently tell us we should open a restaurant, but that just sounds like so much work!What are some of your favourite recipes? This should be pretty neat considering how diverse the group is!
Here are some of my favorite, simple recipes:
Breakfast potatoes - 3 to 4 baked potatoes - cubed (I usually bake them the night before, then put in the fridge - makes them easy to cube), chop up some onion (peppers, too if you have them). Add about 2 T of oil to your skillet on medium heat, then put in the onions/peppers for a couple minutes while you are cutting the potatoes. Next, add the potatoes and sprinkle with seasoned salt or cajun seasoning. Let them brown for a few minutes before flipping to the other side until you get a nice crisp edge.
Chicken quesadillas - that recipe is in here somewhere, but basically shread up some cooked chicken breasts and season with cumin and chili powder. Put some butter or margarine in a skillet. Butter the top side of a tortilla, then put the non-buttered side down in the skillet. Flip and brown both sides, then repeat with another tortilla. Spread the top side of the first one with Cheez Whiz, then add your chicken. Cover with shredded cheese, then top with the other tortilla. Add back to the skillet and brown until the cheese melts.
Potato stew - chop 8-10 slices of bacon and add to a large stock pot on medium heat. Once the bacon is crisp, remove from the pot and discard all but about 2T of the drippings. Add one medium onion, and 2 stalks of celery, chopped to the bacon drippings, and saute until soft. Add 5 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed and 2 1/2 quarts of water, plus 3 cubes of chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 2 hours. It thickens up as you go. Add salt and pepper or cajun seasoning to taste.
OK, my fingers are tired, That's all for now!
