I have grown tired of cooking (and eating) the same meals over & over again. Mostly we eat steak, beef ribs, fried chicken, fried pork chops, tacos, and enchiladas. With the occasional corned beef, spaghetti and (packaged) Chinese food thrown in.
I have several cookbooks upstairs that I was considering perusing, then I thought about the fine folks on FR.
Please add your favorite recipe(s) to this thread so I can start experimenting. The only thing that I will not cook is liver & onions (YUK). I would love to have a tried & true recipe of pot roast and (not-packaged) Chinese food ~ these two things, along with homemade biscuits, have forever rejected me.
I don’t have an aversion to baked stuff ~ it just has not been in my repertoire.
Also keep in mind, we do not have immediate access to fresh seafood.
Not yet...
Off ta bed...G’nite LS...
Nighty-night, BB!
Sweetest dreams to our TARD leader!
You really do work miracles with that little woodstove!
Plus, it’s your best friend when the wind gets colder!
I need to go to bed, Sis. See ya tomorrow.
(((hugs)))
“The only thing that I will not cook is liver & onions (YUK).”
When I was growing up they didn’t even sell liver, they gave it away free at the butcher shop for cat food!
Nobody ate liver!
I have NOT read the entire thread, but will suggest this: at Walmart a few years back, I saw a CD from ACR International entitled One Million Recipes - 4000 cookbooks on one CD. It was about 6 - 10 bucks as I recall, so I bought one and gave it to my wife and that’s the last good old-fashioned meal I got. Know how many ways there are to fix Crab Rangoon? Zucchini Surprise? Curried Peanut Chicken? Exotic dishes abound. My life has become a culinary experiment. I can recommend the CD, though, it’s got some good stuff. Wonder what I’m trying out tonite......
I am going to try this later in the week, but friends swear by it:
CRANBERRY CHICKEN
6 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
16-ounce can whole-berry cranberry sauce
8-ounce bottle Catalina, French or Russian salad dressing
1 package dry onion soup mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place breasts in a single layer in the baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the cranberries, dressing and soup mix. Blend well. Pour over chicken, making sure each piece is well covered with the cranberry mixture. Bake uncovered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the cranberry mixture has formed a glaze on the chicken.
That’s ridiculous, how does that prove anything? Do you have any idea how many cookbooks there are in the world?
Why do you keep asking me stuff, if you don’t want me to reply?
Not me, I’m just replying to people that apparently like talking with me.
Your darn right! I am.
It's good to see I've not been forgotten though I have less and less time to spend on FR lately.
Plenty, however you have yet to name the one that could have been consulted rather than posting this thread. Isn't that the entire point of your original post?
We are all waiting as said cookbook would probably be a great seller or are you just full of crap?
No, the point was to look up any cookbook, not a particular one, besides, I really doubt everyone is waiting for my response.
If you truly want me to stop using bandwidth, then stop asking ridiculous questions and saying dumb stuff, unless you just like calling people names over the internet, and if it’s a case of you needing to get the last word, just say so, and I won’t respond to you.
I’ll check with FR in the morning to see if you want me to continue answering, I’m going to bed now, g’nite.
Thought you might get a kick out of this one.

Title: DANGEROUS CHOCOLATE CAKE-IN-A-MUG
Description:
5 minutes to done, one mug, one spoon: Great cake!
Ingredients:
1 coffee mug
4 Tbsp. flour (plain, not self-rising)
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa
1 egg
3 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. oil
Small splash of vanilla
3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, optional
Directions:
Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a fork.
Add egg, mix thoroughly.
Pour in milk and oil and vanilla, mix well.
Add chips, if using.
Put mug in microwave, and cook for three minutes on 1000 (high on ours)
watts.
Cake will rise over top of mug—do not be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little; tip onto a plate if desired.
Eat!
(This can serve two if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.)
And WHY is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the
world?
Because now we are all only five minutes away from
chocolate cake any
time of the day or night!!!
Number Of Servings:One
Preparation Time:5 minutes
Danger alert in #413!
This is very scary . . .
I got to using my thinker...if you use a 1 1/2 pint pyrex bowl to make this in you can cool it off quicker with a few scoops of ice cream. Now, how scarey is that? ;^)
With the pork chops soak them in soy sauce and grated orange peal (there is a name for that but I forget) for 1/2 hour before you fry them.
Instead of ground beef throw the chops in the spaghetti sauce. They fall off the bone and are great.
With the chicken cut it up and put in a casserole dish with two cans of Cream of Chicken soup with Herbs. Use only one can of water, plus a can of artichoke hearts and some capers. Cook on 375 for 20 minutes, turn down to 325 for 20 more and then turn over for 30 minutes. Serve over rice or with chicken Rice a Roni.
Every Friday we have chili dogs. Cook a large can of Wolf Brand No Beans and when it's hot throw the dogs in. We have Frito's, cheese, onions, mustard, ketchup, relish and hot peppers. Some use it for chili pie.
Oh and as I post I see who you are. HI!
You are evil. ;-)
