Welcome to the FReeper Recipe Thread.
Looking for something new to make or made something new that came out great? Please share a 'tried-and-true' recipe or three- for fellow FReepers to add to their 'go-to' Recipe Stack of Family Favorites!
Here's the place to share and explore your latest and greatest favorite recipe.
Start with about two pounds of boneless chicken breasts.
Get one packet of McCormick Grill Mates Mesquite marinade mix and one jar of McCormick's Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (No, I don't work for, nor receive royalties from McCormick's.)
Cut the chicken into fingers, about 1" x 1" x 3-4".
Prepare the marinade with the manufacturer's instructions, and liberally add some McCormick Jamaican Jerk seasoning and a few dashes of Tobasco to taste. The instructions generically say to use "1/4 cup of oil." I've found that olive oil or peanut oil work better than regular vegetable oil.
Soak the chicken in the marinade (refrigerated) for about 24 hours, then prepare on a grill. I normally use a George Foreman and get terrific results as it seems to seal a lot of the moisture into the chicken by simultaneously grilling on both sides. An outdoor grill will do fine, but you're not really gaining anything since the mesquite already has a wonderful smokiness to it.
On a George Foreman it takes about 3-4 minutes, and your General Joe's chicken fingers are ready to go!
Don't make me come on this thread and post my prize-winning kicked-up guacamole recipe (which you kindly included, I think, in your master FReeper recipe list from 2011).
I'm warnin' yuh.... ;^)
I love Jersey Mike’s subs. Mike’s way, of course.
Crab Dip: serve w/crackers &/or raw veggies.
1 can of crab meat (get the one that says “claw meat”, tuna can size)any brand..
Drain the crab meat and add to cheese spread/dip, I get either Allouette or Boursin brand of their veggie cheese spread 5 or 6 oz size.
Mix it up and then add a little celery salt to taste...it’s best if you make it ahead and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.
It is so easy...and yummy....enjoy!!!!!
Beer marinated Brats (Johnsonville or make your own)
Potato salad

I’m ready. Broncos aren’t in the game so I don’t have a team but since I dislike the Raven more than the Niners...go 49ers!
It's the bread.
BTW I know two people who started out as sandwich makers later to own their own franchises.
It's an All American Company.

Post it up lol
Coffee cake
Sour Cream Coffe Cake
1 package yellow cake mix (or Lemom)
1 package lemon instant pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
½ cup Wesson oil or vegiable oil
3 eggs
¼ cup milk
2 tsp. cinnamon
¼ cup sugar
Mix cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, vegirable oilk, eggs, and milk together and beat right minutes (at least). Pourhalf of the batter into a bunt or angel food cake pan (greased and floured). Mix together 2tsp. cinnamon an ¼ cup sugar and spinkle half of this mixture on the batter in the pan. Pour remaining batter on top and sprinkle remainig cinnamin and sugar mixture on top. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
Guacamole del Rey:
3 large avocados, ripe
3 medium/large cloves fresh garlic, or to taste, minced
1/2 Roma tomato, chopped fine
2 slices Bermuda onion, chopped fine (use yellow onion for more bite
1/4 cup chopped leaf cilantro (or parsley does nicely)
6-8 rashers bacon, trimmed of excess fat and chopped into Risk-sized pieces
1/2 tsp fresh ground cumin
salt, fresh ground pepper to taste (perhaps 1/8 tsp each)
juice of 1/2 Persian lime
optional: 8 slices Velveeta or equivalent
Cook bacon in skillet until done. Some like to overcook the bacon to make it crispy. Whatever works for you.
Seed the avocadoes and spoon the flesh into a bowl. Add tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro (chop this VERY finely, btw), cumin, salt and black pepper. Mix well with a fork (and ONLY a fork) until desired texture is reached (some like it chunkier than others do).
The Velveeta is OPTIONAL: if you don't like it, leave it out, and ignore the steps below that mention it.
Melt Velveeta in a saucepan. Assemble the dish as follows:
In another bowl, put down one layer of the guac, sprinkle lightly with lime juice, then add a layer of the velveeta. Repeat until nothing left to add (typically 2-3 layers of guac/Velveeta).
Some like to squeeze a bit more lime juice on top right now, to prevent the colour from turning when heated. Your choice; I simply don't care. Put oven on lowest setting of warm (no hotter!). Place bowl into oven until ready to serve. Serve warm with chips or 'party' rye bread.
If you like more tomato and onion, add it -- what the heck. I'm a cumin freak, and I use quite a bit more cumin than specified. This is a VERY adjustable recipe.
Happy SuperBowling (or however that goes...)
...nyah, nyah, Libby...

We have been making these for years, very similar to your recipe. Very easy, convenient and the kids always loved them. My daughter always wanted to make them for her sleep-overs and birthday parties. We use pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, peppers, black olives. What ever toppings you want. They’re fun to make, too.
“We have been making these for years”
Yes me too and everybody always loves them. I used to make them every year for either my Superbowl party or the one I was going to.
Do you mean there will be fights at the tailgate?
Believe it or not, the Baltimore fans are very well behaved, fun loving tailgaters. The verbal fights I have witnessed are from white haired older gals that have been making crab cakes since “before you were born”. I went to a July 4th party at the shore... and did I get an earful. “Don’t even try Mildred’s crab cakes.. she uses that fertilizer called Wye River”. Of course, Mildred comes back... “Gloria wouldn’t know a good crab cake if it slapped her in her face’. Needless to say... I made up some quick LIE about crab breaking me out in hives. I’m no dummy.. if I tried both, I would have had to say which one was better. No way, no how!
LOLOLOL — I understand they are looking for a good diplomat for the State Dept. You should apply.
LOL! With my luck, the conversation would be, “Don’t try Achmed’s goat cakes.. he uses that fertilizer dirka dirka” and Achmed would reply, “Hazeem wouldn’t know a good goat cake if it kicked him in the face”. Then I would have to say that goat cakes break me out in hives! LOL
We’ll be having
Grilled shrimp with mango salsa
Home made potato chips
Garlic, Mozzarella and artichoke chicken sausage
Riverbend Prime Rib (in cookbook)
Pecan Pie Ice Cream
What time should my husband and I come over? :>)
