Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Cooking frenzy today. Corn chowder, Beef stroganoff, spagetti sauce. Now I am ready for a nap and stuffed from all the tasting to get it right.

Nutella no bakes the other day. Not as Nutella as I would have thought but still yummy~

Dang, woman! :) No shaddiz? :D (I mean chourico. Massachusetts Portuguese lingo.)
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Duck breast is on the menu tonight. May make a risotto with that... not sure though. Depends what I get with day 1 of the Farmer Dave's CSA.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Making turkey 3-bean soup today. Cleaned out the freezer and saw that I never did anything with the Thanksgiving carcass. Figured better late than never. Roasted the bones in a large pot, roasted the veggies and herbs after I got good doneness on the bones (carrots, onions, celery, parsley, garlic, marjoram, and frozen basil cube). Added water and letting it simmer. Now rehydrating lentils, black beans, and chickpeas (was going to use white beans, but apparently I never restocked); each done separately using quick soak method for chickpeas and black beans and quick cook method for lentils. Will drain stock, then add fresh carrot, celery, and the beans. Will likely serve with homemade bread or homemade pretzels, depending on how salty the broth is.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

This sounds like it could be delicious. Recipe?

2 c Sugar
1/4 c cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 c butter or marg

1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1/4 c peanut butter
1/4 c Nuttela
3 c quick oats.

Medium pot- put in first 4 ingredients, heat until melted and mixed together then bring to rolling boil for 2 min

Stir in the rest of ingredients until well blended

drop onto parchment and cool.

recipe calls for a boil of one minute. One of the comments said 2 minutes and then you don't need to fridge. This turned out to be true.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Another idea that struck me with the ground chicken is a take on a sloppy joe, but with ground chicken instead. Could call it a Sloppy Jill instead.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Made chocolate cupcakes and vanilla mini-cupcakes today with double chocolate frosting and swiss buttercream frosting. Delicious, but a pain in the neck.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Just made pink velvet (raspberry icecream), a triple batch of brownies, am now on the crust to a lemon tart. Prep for Sunday. I need a few more days off to accomplish all I need to on my day off. Just sayin'
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

I have coconut Macaroons in oven, made with no grains or sugar, coconut cream, shredded coconut and honey.

Making summer squash and zucchini lasagna , again no grains. Use a mandolin to slice the squash length wise 1/8 thick, layer up just like reg lasagna. Making a meat sauce right now

That sounds good.

Made my bacon-chocolate cookies again today, and when I tried to make the bacon glaze, it clumped up on me. Wonder if I should have let the bacon fat cool down after I melted it...
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Seared scallops, marinated for an hour in an eyeballed mixture of olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Served with a crusty loaf of bread because it's too hot outside for much else. Very tasty, and an hour was plenty to get the lime and cilantro flavors in there.

Hm, seems like you could put a few tablespoons of peanut butter in a half-cup measure and fill up the rest with Nutella - I'd try that, since I prefer hazelnut-flavored to peanut butter-flavored cookies. I could also see just omitting the PB in the recipe, but dipping the finished cookies in PB or peanut butter frosting. Either way, the recipe sounds good!
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Ended up taking the ground chicken and doing a stuffed bell pepper. Tasted alright, but not something I would make again.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Tonight was grilled fish tacos using tilapia. Stuffed the tortilla with the fish, a mango/avocado guac, and corn. Made home made spanish rice to go along on the side. Overall a **** good meal.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Allez Cuisine!

Picked 15 pounds of strawberries yesterday. Made strawberry cake, strawberry lemon muffins, and strawberry sorbet so far. The sorbet is a keeper. Anyone have good strawberry recipes?

I don't even need a recipe for them, I'll just eat them with some heavy cream and sugar over them. Tasty.

I loved my mom's strawberry rhubarb pie, I'm sure it was just something off the Internet.

And, like bb_dl suggests, a spoonful of sugar in a medium-sized Tupperware in the morning results in a delicious bunch of strawberries for a (mostly) healthy afternoon snack.
