The Officialish FOFC Recipe Book
 

Inspired by the "What's For Lunch" thread, I've decided to create this recipe cookbook so you can share some of your homemade favorites.

I believe this was tried a long time ago, but for some reason never caught on. So let's give it another shot.

Allez cuisine!

Men are SAD!!!!

And radii asks why I never let him cook...this thread is reason enough! Here I was all ready to get some yummy new recipes to try and I get nothing but sandwich and ice water recipes...pathetic!

Is there a low carb water substitute I can use? I'm on the Atkins.

The Ice Water recipe is great for Atkins dieters. As a matter of fact if you really want to spice it up a little I recommend getting a tall glass that has pictures of sunflowers on it.

But sandwiches are tasty.

Poutine

Ingredients:

French Fries
Gravy
Cheese Curds (cubes can do)

Place cheese curds (or cubes) over warm French fries.
Pour hot gravy on top
Voilà!

Edit: to add that I'm not sure this is good for Atkins dieters :D

And after a sandwich not sad.

In response to inquiries, here is the recipe for "Hopping John":

1 cup dried Black-eyed peas
3 1/2 cups of water
1/2 pound of thick cut bacon
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Tabasco (to taste)
Cajun Seasoning (to taste)
1/2 cup raw rice (not the instant or minute rice)

Put the peas and water in a pan, bring to a boil
Let boil for five minutes
Remove from heat and cover the pan, letting the peas soak for an hour
While the peas are soaking, chop the bacon into pieces and fry in a large frying pan
Once the bacon is cooked, remove the bacon from the pan, and sautee the veggies in the bacon fat.
Cook until the veggies are soft
After the peas are through soaking, drain the water, rinse the peas, and add back in 3 1/2 cups of water, the cooked bacon, and the sauteed veggies
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer
Cook for 90 minutes
Add the rice and seasonings
Cover the pot, and cook another 30 minutes

It's easy enough to double the amounts in the recipe and make a big batch. This stuff gets even better as leftovers the next day

Los Patios Cheese Soup

1/4 cup margarine
3 reen onions, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped with leaves
2 grated carrots
2 cans chicken broth
3 cans Cream of Potato soup
8 oz grated Cheddar cheese
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley flakes
3 shakes Tabasco sauce (I personaly use more than the recipe calls for :D )
Salt and pepper to taste
8 oz sour cream
3 Tablespoons sherry

In margarine, saute onions, celery and carrots over low heat. Add chicken broth; cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add potato soup, cheese, parsley, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream and simmer 15 minutes. Add sherry, stir and serve: Makes about 10 cups.

One of my absolute favorites. It's certainly not for you dieters out there, though... :D

now for the dessert. Be warned, if you are on any kind of a diet, this isn't for you. I think when I calculated it, there are over 9,000 calories in this puppy!!! :D

White Chocolate Almond Pecan Pie

4 eggs, beaten
1 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup of Sugar
3 tb. butter, melted
1tb vanilla extract
1tb almond extract (can also substitute Amaretto)
1tb chocolate extract (can also substitute Godiva Chocolate liquer)
6 oz. white chocolate, melted
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup sliced almonds
1 9 inch deep dish unbaked pastry shell

Combine the first eight ingredients, beat with a mixer until completely blended. Stir the pecans and almonds into the mixture. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell (you'll probably have a little more mixture than the shell can hold). Bake at 350 for 55 minutes to an hour.

I nominate the salmon oliegirl makes, lots of other stuff too, but she knows that's my favorite.

I think it's something like this:

put salmon and some other stuff in the oven
cook some rice or some other side dish too
put some herbs and/or spices on the fish
oh, CAPERS too(I don't know what they are but I know that Oliegirl had me get some from the inlaws last time I was over there)

And there you have it. Now you, too, can make the best dish served in the Dixon household. :D

If I can find the family recipe book that my mom put together a few years ago I'll submit my mom's taco casserole recipe. even I can make it(though I haven't in a very very long time now) and it was one of my favorites growing up.

Mizzourah's Squirt

*message deleted*

Hey Quik,

I do have fractions in mine, even the infamous 2/3! I thought you would at least enjoy those... :D

Beef a la Rice

1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 carrot, grated
1 lb ground beef
1/3 cup red wine
1 can beef consume
2 small garlic cloves
1/4 cup water
pepper for taste
papperica for tate
cooked rice

Brown ground beef. Add garlic and saute. Stir. Add carrots and mushrooms and saute. Add consume and water. Stir. Add seasonings. Simmer for an hour. THicken with starch. Serve over rice. Serves six.

Just a little dish I invented when I was 12 or 13. Kinda boring now (needs Tabasco!), but not bad for a kid just screwing around in the kitchen...

:(

no bbq secrets?..i'm dissapointed in you boys.

dola,

I don't like to cook, so much as I REALLY like to eat. So it's a natural by-product that I learned to cook for myself.

Are there any men here that are the cooks of the household?I am one....because my wife can't make toast....course,i never married her for her cooking:)

Excellent point.


I'm not saying that I dislike the actual recipes, I just though this got off to a very funny start. I laughed out loud at the continued discussion of the ice water recipe.

Barbeque Brisket

4 to 5 lbs boneless beef brisket
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 drops Tabasco ( :rolleyes: )
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Mix the above ingredients. Double, triple, or quadruple this recipe until you have enough to mostly cover the meat. Place meat in large shollow pan, add sauce. Cover tightly; bake at 325 degrees for 3 hours, or until tender.

Ask, and you shall receive:

Marinated Italian Sausage and Peppers

1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup Basalmic Vinegar
2 tb. chopped cilantro
1 tb. dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
4 Italian Sausage links
1 large red onion, sliced into rings
1 bell pepper, sliced into quarters

Mix oil, vinegar, cilantro, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix. Put the sausages, onion and pepper into a gallon size ziplock bag, and our the oil and spice mixture into the bag.
Seal the bag, and shake it up to coat everything well.
Put the bag in the fridge, and marinate at least one hour (the longer the better)

Heat up the grill. These can be cooked directly on the grill surface, but it works better if you have a grill basket.
Throw everything into the grill basket, saving some of the oil mixture in the bag.
Marinate occaisionally with the oil mix, and cook until the sausages are done.

Liquid smoke?

Never heard of that

You gotta be careful with that shit, a little bit goes a long way...

Isn't that the end result? :D

Eay Tomato Cream Sauce:

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
3 cups whole milk
2 14.5 oz Can Hunt's Diced Tomatoes, Basil Oregano & Garlic flavor
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth and bubbly. Add milk and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Let simmer until thickened, should just be a minute or two. Add the diced tomatoes and cheddar cheese, stir until cheese melted. Serve over your favorite pasta.

Parmesan Cheese may be substituted for cheddar cheese.

Hey! That's a secr...oh you deleted it.

Jeebs, you're my hero. I love BBQ brisket :D

I have quite a few recipes like homemade chili from scratch, rosemary pork chops and potatoes, various pastas, roasts, etc but they aren't really formal, more in my head. All the hatties in chat get to hear about them on a near-weekly basis :)

SI

CW's Standard Issue Quick & Dirty Pseudo Spicy Steak Marinade

1 Steak (Whatever is not beneath you)
Black Pepper
Meat Tenderizer
Minced Garlic
Minced Onion
Habanero Sauce
A-1 Bold & Spicy
Crushed Red Pepper
Soy Sauce

Acquire steak in good sized pan. Apply tenderizer as necessary.
Apply generous amount of garlic, onion, red repper, black pepper.
Lightly rub in habanero sauce.
Brush with a spattering of A-1 Bold 'n Spicy. The Habanero is for the big kick, this is merely additional flavoring. Don't get nuts.
Flip steak, repeat above.
Apply generous helping of soy sauce to both sides.

Cover pan, let steak sit in that lovely marinade for as long as you can stand it. The longer it soaks that concotion in, the better.

Grill by fire and charcoal. Cooking flesh by any other means forfeits any rights you have to owning a penis.

Serve with quality beer.

Let me clarify this recipe:

Spray a large piece of tin foil with pam (or other cooking spray), lay a piece of salmon in the middle of the foil, sprinkle generously (make sure it's totally covered) with lemon pepper, add a couple shakes of dill weed, and top with capers. Fold the foil over the salmon to make a pouch - leave room for the air to circulate. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until salmon is flaky.

There is a yummy rice dish that is great with it, but it's time consuming to make, so I usually just make a Lipton Rice Side Dish with it. Radii loves it, and it's one of my favorites too...we are having it for dinner tomorrow night :)

I was laughing my ass off, too. That was a great start to this thread. :D

Grab a glass. Pour in 4 fingers worth of your favorite scotch. Enjoy.
