    Pizzeria-Style Stromboli 

    ★ Spinach and cheese stromboli, looks so ummm-ummm delicious......

    Spinach-and-Cheese-Stromboli-updated_Large400_ID-3415831.jpg

  • outside of panfish fillets deep fried with a coating of milk and coated with Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour....

    (the seasoned flour I discovered some years ago - we were tent camping in Kentucky, coming back from Florida, and fried up our bluegills and perch), I think I would like to try these again.

    Different. I had a friend whose family came to America from Lebanon, and she gave me a plate of them...they were great.

    The fillings are various - we don't care for green peppers, but these are rolled up grape leaves with stuffing inside. I don't know where you go to guy grape leaves, lol, but we have them on our farm.

    However NOTE: there is a grape vine that is poisonous - the poison one has grapes with only ONE bigger seed inside, and the leaves are different a good bit. So, only pick grapes and leaves with several seeds inside.

    That reminds me  a lot  of when I went panfish and crappie fishing  (occasionally a small or large mouth bass) at the Liberty Lake in Girard and McKinley Heights, Ohio   out behind our house where I grew up way back when.

    Get a stringer full of nice 10"-12"+  crappies,  walk home and fillet them in our garage and fry them up and eat them.....or occasionally in the freezer for a BIG fish fry later with mom and grandma and her special coatings or whatever doing the cookin'..

    Ummm-ummm  that was really delicious  !      😁

  • On September 28, 2022, my birthday  my wife who is a great cook, made us a special and very simple meal and almost all on the grill.  

    Two marinated steelhead trout filets along with some garden tomatoes and some thin asparagus spears which were sprayed with olive oil spray and sea salt and a little bit of pepper.   Placed upon a  grilling rack and on to the preheated grill they went.

    They were grilled lightly until just heated through and then combined with an Asian rice with vegetables  dish she had pre-made and were added to complete the meal. 

    Light, simple and really delicious,  ummm-ummm. 

    For  dessert we had some  homemade brownies with a peanut spread and topped with a chocolate topping.  And   in a 9 x 12 baking dish which after cooking  were layered on top with a peanut butter spread and topped with a chocolate topping spread.     Oh God good   and plenty left for snacks later and tomorrow.   Into the refrigerator they went until then.  

    I can't wait for coffee and brownies today.   Simple,  quick and easy  along with really delicious for any birthday or other special occasion.    😁

    Looking for a good, quick and easy recipe for a family day or  ★ GAMEDAY ★  get-together.  How about a delicious PIZZERIA-STYLE STROMBOLI  done in no time.    You don't need to leave your kitchen to make a pizzeria-worthy stromboli  and check  out the delicious recipes  listed below.

    thumbnail?appid=YahooMailAndroidMobile&downloadWhenThumbnailFails=true&pid=2
     
    MAKES  4   ◆   SERVING SIZE  1  STROMBOLI   ◆   COOK TIME  10 MINUTES 

    You don't need to leave your kitchen to make a pizzeria-worthy stromboli. These "bake" perfectly in your air fryer! You see, the air fryer allows hot air to circulate all around the stromboli, which results in a crunchy-on-the-outside, yet tender-on-the-inside crust. Plus, there's all the molten meat and cheese filling too. In the end, you get to enjoy a really delicious, authentic-tasting stromboli! 

    What You'll Need

    • 1 (11-ounce) can refrigerated thin crust pizza dough
    • 16 slices thinly sliced deli salami
    • 1 cup spinach leaves
    • 1/2 cup sliced roasted red peppers
    • 8 slices provolone cheese
    • 1/4 cup Italian dressing, divided
    • Cooking Spray
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, divided
    • Parmesan cheese for sprinkling   
    1. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F. Unroll pizza dough on a cutting board and cut into 4 equal-sized rectangles.
    2. Layer each piece of dough evenly with salami, spinach, red peppers, provolone cheese, and 1 tablespoon Italian dressing. Starting at the long edge of dough, roll up jelly roll-style. Spray top of each with cooking spray, then evenly sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
    3. Coat air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 2 stromboli in basket and air-fry for 9 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining stromboli. After the second 2 are done, place first 2 back in for 1 minute to warm up.

    I'm here now....was  kind of sick, missed the whole first  half....but saw the whole unbelievable ending.....Geeezzzus H Christmas,!   What a blown game !!!  

    But I had an   absolutely delicious    stuffed acorn squash  (like a stuffed pepper)  in the oven and some buttered Italian bread..... Oh yeah !     Right after the game. 

    Now if I don't  still barf  it up after that debauchery of a football game.      😆

  • OK  guys and gals here's a   recipe that may be too good for your   ★ GAMEDAY  ★   friends but what the heck  spoil them a bit at your next steak or chops  grilling outing.   Great for a family cookout too.  Bon appetit  !  

    . Subject: NJ's TRI-MUSHROOM BORDELAISE, one of our old favorites !

    Hi everyone here is a recipe the way my wife Nancy makes one of my favorite dishes. .  It is like a TRI-MUSHROOM  dish we had many years ago at The SPRINGFIELD GRILL for 11 years when Michael Alberini ran it.  When Michael left to do other restaurant ventures the new management removed it AND a lot of other items for a smaller menu.  
     
    Shortly after that we moved on and have not returned to The Springfield  Grill since.  But I wanted to see if my wife could put a recipe together on paper of how she makes her BORDELAISE  version for us and that we could share with all of you.   I'm hungry for it again  and  here it is   -again-   for you.   Bon Appétit. Michael.

    Reverse-Seared Steak…first time for me. 
     

    I Found a couple of thick steaks.  Seasoned them well the night before.  Salt, Pepper and Garlic…and some Fresh rosemary.  Make sure to rest them outside of the fridge for at least and hour.   Set the oven to 250.  Baked them for 25 mins (medium rare) add five more minutes for medium.
     

    Fire up the grill when the steaks are in the oven - crank it on high.  Transfer the steaks from the oven to the grill…2 mins on each side.

    Flavorful and good moisture/juice distribution.    ...... edit add, you need your steaks to look like this.  ♥︎ 52B9B175-0A99-4FC3-A09D-EBC36AC7C6D8.jpeg

  • ★  Oh my wife just brought home a  *FOOD NETWORK  10 piece textured titanium cookware set.  It's a titanium infused nonstick with a diamond textured cooking surface.  Good for stovetop to oven and it's dishwasher safe on a Kohl's black Friday sale.  With all of the coupons and discounts reduced from $180 to about $65 out the door.  

    It has all of the latest features like clear lids for all of the skillets, the pop up steam vents and more.   The good chef and bargain hunter.  Not bad for a retired nurse, huh !    😍

    ◆     What You'll Need  
    • 1/3 cup olive oil     
    •   1/4 cup lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 (3-1/2- to 4-pound) whole chicken
    • 2 carrots, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
    • 2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
    • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
    • 1 cup chicken broth

    ◆     What to Do

    1. In a small bowl, stir together oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
       
    2. Remove giblets from chicken; reserve for another use. Place chicken in a shallow dish; pour oil mixture over chicken. Cover and chill 8 hours.
       
    3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding excess marinade. Fold wings under; tie legs together with string, if desired. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Arrange carrots, celery, and onion around chicken; add chicken broth to pan.
       
    4. Bake 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted in meaty part of chicken thigh registers 180 degrees F.

    ◆    Notes 

    • You can cook the chicken in a slow cooker, although it won't brown like it does when oven roasted. Remove the giblets, and reserve for another use. Cut chicken in half, and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken, meaty side up, over vegetable mixture. Cover and cook on HIGH setting 3 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into meaty party of thigh registers 180 degrees F.
