  • We're having our BAKED PARMESAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES this afternoon with a few more tweaks to the recipe.  I'll let you know how it comes out.

    We have a nice 24" TV in the kitchen to watch the games during Saturday or Sunday dinners !

    The first time I had my homemade wild blackberry jam with baked chicken - it was an amazing combination. Which reminds me, on Christmas vacation with our friends in NC, we had banana pudding. Normally, I don't care much for the stuff. But this recipe had cream cheese in it, and it was amazing - the texture was like the very best coconut cream pie. Now I forget where they got the recipe. It rocked for dessert.

        Yesterday, cooked a nice small pot roast in the 2 qt pressure cooker - then cooked it a bit more with cut up potatoes, carrots....

    Some fresh ground 4 pepper mix, salt... that was excellent. Only took about a half hr. Amazing. (browned big cut ups of roast in skillet before pc)

    Cut up carrots, potatoes and onions with pot roast or baked chicken is one of my favorite "go to" dishes especially on a cold Sunday afternoon !

    Saute some mushrooms and add them to the parmesan cheese before baking on the chicken. Just had that Friday and it's really good that way.?

    PS-Made some turkey - rice soup with leftover thawed out dark meat from the Xmas turkey and chicken broth yesterday. Like the green beans with bacon you can serve it separately as a meal. Having some more of that today with the games.

    Mushrooms would probably work with a dish like this particularly hearty dark browns like porabellos or shitakes maybe some buttons.  We're making a roux with ours in this old recipe that I cobbled together and some tweaks from my wife:

    For the sauce: lower heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn.

    Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, or until roux is thick and golden brown, then slowly whisk in chicken broth until incorporated.

    Stir in parmesan cheese and half-and-half, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until thickened, then stir in thyme, basil and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.

    .......edit add, and don't forget..... Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and Italian seasoning and place in baking dish.

    Cut up carrots, potatoes and onions with pot roast or baked chicken is one of my favorite "go to" dishes especially on a cold Sunday afternoon !

  • For our Sunday AFC and NFC kitchen TV  GAMEDAY MEAL we're having one of my favorite cold weather Sunday dishes. My wife's homemade chicken noodle soup.

    Recipe:. Onions + carrots + *celery + noodles + chicken soup secret spices + 1 dead chicken in a pot   Let cook and simmer for hours with Italian bread and butter on the side Ummmmm.

    Sometimes the simple dishes are great.    * Almost forgot the celery.

    I could fix that a bit. Put in those ingredients without the carrots and start the simmering going. Every 1/2 hour check on the soup and add liquid if needed. Each time you check eat a raw carrot. Hopefully by the time it's done, so are the carrots you set aside for the soup. Can't stand cooked carrots but I like 'em as a raw munchie. Brings back horrible memories of Mom's once a week beef stew. We were required to eat everything we were served. None of our cats or dogs ever liked 'em either so I had no secret disposal place for 'em. Same for boiled okra. Gag reflex got tested a lot in our house. Oh and cold asparagus out of a can was saved for special kid torture sessions when you thought they got too mouthy. Instant cure!?? ?

    We are going to start the soup today and sample some tonight and it will be much better tomorrow after sitting all night in our garage frig or if cold enough just in the garage.

    I like the carrots and onions and *celery cooked in with everything, makes a great broth for dipping the buttered Italian bread later.  Ummmmm.

    ....... *almost forgot the celery plus of course my wife's homegrown and dried herbs which really make the kitchen smell good!

  • OMG that was good!  Nothing like a small bowl of Homemade CNS on a cold and windy night.

    And tomorrow afternoon it we will be lunch watching the AFC and NFC Championship games.  😁

    WILD MUSHROOM BEEF STEW

    The problem with wild mushroom beef stew is catching them. You have to have your traps set with exactly the right bait in a similar manner to catching rabbits for wild jackrabbit stew.??

    Well, once in a great  while our high end grocery store  brings in fresh morels, if the price  tag of $42 bucks a pound  doesn't  deter you. They did have some  oyster and a few other varieties of  'shrooms available  today. 

    Ah, just grilled  up a steak with Pine Club leftovers and  wine. FWIW, you can't  go wrong with the '15, '16, and now '18 Bordeaux for good  values. I hope tarrif Trump  comes to his senses. 

    PS, when it comes to port, I'm  a purist.  Only the  real stuff from  Portugal.  Had a glass of  Taylor 10 year tawny as a nitecap.

    I have to admit I agree with you on the port. My Dad loved the very best stuff (read that as most expensive) from Portugal and I never turned down a glass of it. It was his only drinking vice. He would take any California Cabernet I offered however, just as my Mom did. He never asked the price and I never told my penny pinching Mom until I had her taste Mike Grgich's there at the winery. I thought she would choke when she found out it was $50/bottle even though it had the highest recommendation from her retired dentist wine collector next door. He was the one who sent us there telling us it was the best in Napa as far as he was concerned. But as you know I am devoted to Honig. The 2016 is another excellent year BTW. I have about 5 of them already in my limited space wine fridge.When I get home from Colorado I need to open Mike's from that day he sold it to me. Kept it this long for sentimental value since Mom incredulously watched me turn over the cash.  LOL!  But, times up and I need to open in now before it starts to decline. I'll keep the empty in memory of that day we went wine tasting together in Napa.?

  • Made Chili last night. Different every time. Ground beef, variety of canned beans (including 2 cans with chili sauce in them), jalapeno, canned chopped tomatoes (with chilies) and tomato sauce and chili powder to taste. 

    For game time today going to put it over pasta - not Cinci style - Toledo style! Mmmm

    That's coming up real soon in our Winter 2019-20  soup, stew, chili and casserole GAMEDAY MEALS tour.  So much to choose from and so many better the next day meals.

    No wrong way to make chili, goulash and stews it's whatever you like best  -but- also nothing wrong to pick up new ideas and recipes either.  😉

    ........edit add we got this book as a shower gift about 38 years ago, great cookbook! Can get it used in good shape from Amazon 96 pages......for about $5.

  • Want some GAMEDAY munchies for the Senior Bowl or Pro Bowl or just a low carb snack?  And it's quick and easy.

    Garlic-ky Shrimp Zucchini Boats

    When you're craving pasta, these zucchini boats are a great option. The easy shrimp filling tastes almost like a creamy shrimp scampi. It's so good, it haunts our dreams. 

    YIELDS:4 SERVINGS             PREP TIME:0 HOURS 10 MINS          TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 45 MINS
    INGREDIENTS
     
    4 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
    1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 
    1 tsp. thyme leaves 
    2 tbsp. butter
    3/4 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    2 tomatoes, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced 
    1/4 c. heavy cream 
    1/4 c. grated Parmesan

    Juice of 1/2 lemon1

    c. shredded mozzarella

    Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

     
    DIRECTIONS
     
    1. Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides to use later. Place zucchini boats in a large baking dish and drizzle all over with oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle thyme leaves on top. Bake until tender, about 20 minutes. 
    2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until pink and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and when cool enough to handle, chop into bite-size pieces. Return shrimp to skillet then stir in reserved zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add cream, Parmesan, and lemon juice, and cook until slightly reduced, 3 minutes. 
    3. Fill zucchini boats with shrimp mixture and top with mozzarella. Cook until cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes more. Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.

  • OMG the house smells so good, for our Senior Bowl GAMEDAY meals today and leftovers Sunday my wife's version of Martha Stewart's Stuffed Red Peppers with Rice.

    I may put up the recipe later.  One of my many favorites. Ummmm.

    .......edit add, my wife has used Italian sausage or sweet Italian sausage but today it's the 3 meat mix of beef-chicken-veal.  You can also go light with chicken or turkey.  My favorites are sweet Italian or the 3 meat mix.

    I just sampled the filling mix, she chops up the leftover peppers and adds them into the mix. It just went in the oven, 30 minutes then cover with shredded Mexican cheese mix, melt, cool a bit then eat !
