1.Shiny side out, or shiny side in when it says cook in Aluminum foil..make tent, etc..

2. Does it matter?

3. What's a non fishy smeling or tasty fish, beside halibut and salmon, and I WILL NOT be doing this

I've done shiny side in/out and I haven't seen a huge difference either way. I like tilapia. It's a sweeter fish that doesn't taste so 'fishy'. I'm not sure about the smell while cooking but I know it doesn't smell fishy when I order it out.

*shrug*

We have thread related smilies now! ---->

Anyone have a favorite recipe they are making for Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) or a recipe they have lost that they wish they could find again?

Arwen · 11-14-2009, 09:59 PM

Someone PM'd me. They would ike to find a good brownie/chocolate cake recipe that does not require squares of baking chocolate. They are not in the US so some ingredients may be less easy for them to come by.

What do you say BF Kitcheners? Got a good recipe to help this Planeteer out?

Angelika · 11-15-2009, 06:08 AM

Arwen,

There is a recipe that only requires coco powder.

Arwen's Spicy Stew

1.5 lbs stew meat
2 lg russet potatoes, chopped 1 "
2 turnips (the purple/white round ones), chopped 1/2"
2 Serrano peppers, sliced
1 Bell pepper, chopped 1 "
1 onion, diced medium
1 Can Ro-Tel Tomatoes, original recipe
1/2 can good red wine (I used Vin Robles Red4 Syrah)
1/2 can water
2-3 TB garlic powder
1-2 TB Tony Cachere's Cajun Seasoning (tm)
1 dash Balsamic Vinegar
2 dashes Liquid Smoke

I layered the first seven ingredients into the crock-pot. Then I added the tomatoes followed by the wine/water(using the can from the Ro-Tel tomatoes.) Last I put on the seasonings. I've covered it and set it on high. Should be dinner by six. I'll serve it with some biscuits. Would have done a salad, but I think the stew will be enough. It's my first time EVAH to cook with turnips so I'll let you know how it turns out. Or my guests can tell you. Grin.

I'm going to have to try your stew, Arwen. I love the slow cooker for stews, especially going into winter.

On the menu at Chez Bent/e today is a family favorite:

White Chili with Ground Turkey
Cooking time is only about 30 mins. though I often simmer longer.

* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
* 2 (4 ounce) cans canned green chile peppers, chopped
* 1 tablespoon ground cumin
* 1 tablespoon dried oregano
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* ground cayenne pepper to taste
* ground white pepper to taste
* 3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans
* 5 cups chicken broth
* 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic & ground turkey. Saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add the chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cayenne pepper to taste & white pepper to taste and saute for 5 more minutes.
2. Add two cans of beans & the chicken broth to the pot. Take the third can of beans & puree them in a blender or food processor (I just mash them with fork). Add this to the pot along with the cheese. Stir well & simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

I cook up a big pot of brown rice to serve the chili over.

Um.. up the water by 1/2 a can. Cut back on the chilies by one. Or not.

Depends on how hot you like things. OrganicButch and PixieStars seemed to like it. Definitely add carrots.

Will make again.

Does anyone have a sugar free recipe for brownies that does NOT require the use of Splenda?? I HATE the flavor of Splenda. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

About twice a month we have "Nasty Casserole" around here.
It's usually a conglomeration of shit that I can find that needs to be used but generally has many of the following ingredients.

1 layer of corn tortillas
1 layer of refried beans
1 layer of cheddar cheese
1 layer of chicken cooked with cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, etc.
another layer of corn tortillas
1 layer of black beans
another layer of whatever cheese
a layer of red sauce or my really good sour cream sauce
and usually more layers of cheese than any human should eat
and sometimes a layer of corn
and sometimes a layer of black olives
and most of the time a good sprinkling of green onion

Its guaranteed to give you heartburn but is WAY pocketbook friendly and tastes decadent as HELL and makes a LOT.

It's cookie time at Chez Diva......I love this time of year!! The following recipe is one of my Mom's (I have her copy in her handwriting, framed and hanging in my kitchen!).....my favorite cookie of hers....and now it's also my daughter's favorite, so she'll be getting a big box of them in the next couple of weeks.

Pin Wheel Cookies

1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 sq. bittersweet chocolate, melted OR 3 T. cocoa + 1 tsp. butter

Mix in order given (except for chocolate).

Divide in half. Add melted chocolate to one half and work it in thoroughly. Roll out each half between wax paper, then place one on top of the other.

Roll together like a jelly roll. Chill. Slice thin. Bake at 350 until light brown (about 10-12 minutes) They will spread just a bit, so don't put slices too closely together.

This is a pretty cookie.

Happy baking!
