Get series about HEALTHY, and LOW CARB FOOD

This, and future threads, will attempt to answer some of your questions and requests regarding HEALTHY food in general, and LOW CARB, LOW CALORIE diets and recipes in particular.

With my background as a Master Chef, and Natural Foods Sexonutritionist, aka SexyChef  (/dreamer) Bwhahaahahahahah, it affords me a wonderful vantage point to assist in creating this forum, where everyone can contribute, exchange ideas and voice their valuable opinions. Moderating in no way qualifies me as an authority on this, or any other subject.*..heheheh ..that has never inhibited me before.. blush

There are many other FReepers, (you know who you are.. LOL) on this amazing site that have a great deal more detailed knowledge and information on specific topics, that will no doubt emerge. Sooooooo, lets get started..

This TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION... chew, chew

JERK Chicken Wings

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 pounds chicken wings
8 scallions -- cut in 1" pieces
4 medium jalapeno peppers -- seeded & chopped
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon ground allspice
4 medium garlic cloves -- chopped
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper -- freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
lime or lemon wedges

Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry. Cut off and discard tips of each wing and halve wings at the main joint. In a food processor, combine scallions, jalapeno peppers, vinegar, allspice, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Process until well blended. With machine on slowly pour in oil and puree until a thick paste forms. In a large bowl, combine chicken wings and jerk marinade. Toss until wings are well coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat broiler. Arrange wings on broiler pan about 6 inches from heat and broil, turning once, until nicely browned outside and cooked through, about 10 minutes on each side. Serve warm or at room temperature with lime or lemon wedges. The name JERK is fiery Jamaican marinade for chicken, pork, or beef.

Roast Pork Strips

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons honey
2 medium garlic cloves -- minced
3 pounds pork tenderloin

Combine soy sauce, bourbon, ginger, honey, and garlic. Place pork in shallow dish and pour marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the meat occasionally. Place meat on rack in open shallow pan and bake at 300 for about 1 1/2 hours, spooning marinade over it from time to time. To serve as an appetizer, allow meat to cool, then cut into slices (about 1/8-inch thick). Cut slices into strips and spear each with a wooden pick. Arrange on a bed of lettuce; this pork is best served at room temperature. The flavor is subtle and the pork requires no dipping sauce to enhance it.

Teriyaki Appetizer Ribs

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 pounds meaty pork spareribs sawed in half
across bone
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
3 large garlic cloves -- minced
2 teaspoons freshly ground ginger
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons honey

Cut meat into 2-rib portions. Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, wine, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Place ribs in a shallow baking dish; pour marinade mixture over ribs. Cover; refrigerate 7 to 8 hours or overnight. Occasionally spoon marinade over ribs and turn them over. Remove ribs, reserving marinade. Grill over slow coals, bone side down, about 25 minutes. (add less meaty ribs after 10 minutes of grilling.) Turn ribs meaty side down and grill 15 to 20 minutes more. Meanwhile, stir honey into reserved marinade; brush frequently over ribs during last 5 minutes.

Chrisite!! HUG!!!!! There are some recipes I've been wanting to find, but just didn't have the time to go through all the threads to find them. This is so much more convenient!! Thank you so much for all your hard work.

[stanz]

Hey Christie, how are ya? Thanks for compiling all the recipes. This makes it so handy.

[christie]

I'll try to get the rest up ASAP. And then keep adding, LOL.

How is your weather? We've had a dozen days of 80 degree weather and it's been the hottest March recorded. I need some rain for the winter hay crop, so I hope it cools down a but. Absolutely gorgeous, though.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much!!!

Would anyone know of a good, "natural" beef (no hormones, no weird feed, etc) boullion substitute? I've searched, but the best thing I've come up with is the organic, vegan brown gravy sauces. Thanks in advance!

[baseballmom]

Thanks so much. Bookmarked

We've had more snow this year than we've had for quite some time. I've run out of places to put the stuff!! My driveway keeps getting narrower and narrower! It's wide enough to get my car in and THAT'S IT!! Right now it's 10 degrees and will probably get a little colder during the night. BRRRRRRRRRR

If you want, I can send you some of it...I've got plenty!!

Those wings sound yummy.....


VERY EASY HOT WINGS

Thaw a 3 lb. bag of drumettes.
Place on a foil lined cookie sheet and broil 15 minutes...turn and broil another 15 minutes.

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large pan.
Add "Frank's Red Hot Sauce" to taste.
Place the crispy drumette into the sauce and stir until all pieces are coated.
