Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Homemade pita chips. Split the pita bread. Spray the inside (rough) part with cooking spray. Cut into bite size pieces. Bake on cookie sheet for 6 minutes or until slightly crisped at edges (Oven 375)

Alternately I use the oil that I roasted garlic in and brush that on. YUM!!!
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

I generally buy spices at Sams in those big plastic containers, was looking at Garlic powder the other day, product of China:eek: Screw that I'm not eating crap from China, knowingly anyway. Got some garlic from a local farm, sliced it thin, stuck it in the dehydrator over night, ground it in the coffee grinder and wow, what a difference in smell and taste. The fumes from the dehydrator when it first started made the whole house smell like an Italian restaurant.:p

And you'll have some funky tasting coffee for a couple batches.

Well, considering 80% of the world's supply of garlic comes from China...

Good idea. Don't so much care if it came from China, except that it's crap. :p Might have to do that with onion too.

:D

That's your best bet. I'd recommend getting some really spicy hot sauce.

Or a shotgun. Venison pre-stuffed with garlic might be pretty tasty.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

This stuff is really good and not too hard to make: <a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/dark-chocolate-buttercrunch-recipe">Dark Chocolate Buttercrunch</a> - I used Scharffen Berger bittersweet chocolate and it turned out really well.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

I'm trying to decide if I want to find a good web app for keeping recipes. I can think of several features that I would look for, but I'm curious to know what you guys use- aside from worn out cards, scrapbooks and dog-eared cookbooks.

Once I make something and like it (even if I have the cookbook), I add it to a Word doc and put it in a binder with plastic page protectors (since I'll need it in the kitchen when cooking anyway). That way I can add notes, etc., and I still have the Word doc if I need to email it to someone or whatever. So... I guess it's a dog-eared cookbook, but everything is centralized and easy to find... and I can wipe down the pages after I spill stuff on them.

I was looking for a web app or software for awhile, but never found anything I liked - and this was easier and more practical than going to my computer, separate cookbooks, or a pile of papers every time I wanted to make a recipe I'd saved.

Made "bread" yesterday
Recipe as follows
1.5cups natural peanut butter, creamy, contains peanuts and salt
1.5 cups Dry Curd cottage cheese, not your basic cottage cheese, has little to no carbohydrates and little lactose, also known as farmers cheese
4 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 baking soda
bake in smaller bread pan, 8 by 4 by 2.75 approx
at 350 for 60 minutes

No grain, no gluten, smelled great and it actually rose out of the pan. Made excellent toast, probably cost 6 bucks to make it though

No calories in that bread...;) Did it just taste peanuty or did the farmer's cheese mellow that out enough?

Speaking of bread, I think I'm going to make some homemade sharp cheddar/jalepeno bread this weekend. I really miss it since Cousin's stopped offering it on their menu.

Didn't really taste "peanuty" but sure did smell "peanuty" cooking.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

So I want to make jalapeno poppers tomorrow for new years eve, but to cut down on the workload of tomorrow, I'd like to assemble/bread them tonight so I can just fry them tomorrow. My wife thinks the breading will go ick if I do them ahead, I'm not so sure, any thoughts?

Yeah very good candy and noticed it's healthier (less 2 cups flour) than the cookie.

I also noticed it's the same way to make pancake syrup (2cups sugar, *1 cup water*, tsp butter). I tossed out my store bought HFCS, preservative filled syrup after reading the ingredients.

Just made a batch of Blueberry muffins with coconut flour, smells good in here
