Wow, sounds very good Bryan and honestly not that hard to make.

I know this is an old thread... Pacanis: You should NEVER open the gas cyclinder valve more than a half turn or so. That's all that it needs to be opened to operate perfectly fine. This is basic compressed gas cylinder safety I'm talking about. The reason is that in the event of an emergency...

Alright I did try it. Did the croutons up this afternoon and they came out pretty good. Then this evening I did the chicken. Naturally I did wing it a little bit but basically followed the recipe as stated. Cut the amounts in half...I baked the chicken breasts in a pair of nice Corning boats...

Thanks Munky, I might try this tonight. :)

That's a good idea but slightly more cleanup because you have both the pan and the slotted broiler top. :P It's all good though...will have to try the broiler pan method tomorrow night.

We eat alot of chicken wings, especially during football season. Set oven to 400F. Place wings on a thin baking sheet and stick it in the middle of the oven. Bake for about an hour, maybe slightly more and drain the wings two or three times during the course of cooking. In a small cup place a...

I'm really into making salads lately. My favorites ingredients are a bed of high quality greens topped with chopped cuke, red or orange pepper slices, sprinkle of chopped carrot, handful of lightly crushed walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, dash of toasted sesame seeds, a few craisins. Dressed...

Don't forget yeast! :) I stopped drinking sodas, Gatorade and all that crap ages ago. I drink seltzer and I add a squeeze of lemon or lime. Delice!

Tried 'em again last night and got the sear perfect. I omitted the butter until removing them from the pan. Then added a big pat of butter followed by a generous splash of sherry to deglaze the pan. They would have been perfect to my taste if I had let them go just another 30 seconds or so...

I've been making scallops for dinner every week or two lately. I like them done in olive oil and butter and then finished with sherry. My wife has been going crazy for them and they are just delicious. So easy to do too. A bit on the expensive side but I figure it's worth it every now and then...

Right now we are at the tail end of the strawberry season. So I've been buying strawberries several times a week lately. I slice them and add them to the bowl along with blueberries and red raspberries. Lightly sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over them, put them in the fridge for a couple of hours...

That sounds delicious! I'm a big fan of avocados to begin with so I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for posting even if no one else commented for the first 3 months. :-)

I just bought a Thermapen last week. I like that you just open it and it turns on automatically. It reads the temp almost instantly so that's all the less time you have to keep the oven or grill open allowing all your heat to escape.

I cut up a chuck roast that was in the freezer. Seared it on med-high heat, seasoned it and gave it a nice browning. Put it in the crock pot. Followed up with a whole small onion which I browned and then deglazed the pan with a little sherry and stirred it in. That was about two hours ago and...

I must confess I find this rage for brining to result in meat that is way too salty for my tastes. I prefer lemon, black pepper, garlic, ginger and other spices. Good old fashioned marinades such as Italian dressing are quite delicious. It may be low brow but it was once very popular for a...

Thanks for the suggestions! Any others are welcome too...

We're thinking of taking a two day mid week getaway to the Cape pretty soon. It will be too cold to swim since it's kind of early in the season but we figure the beaches at the National Seashore will be gorgeous and not very crowded. In the past, the restaurants we've visited have been a...

I like a heaping teaspoonful of Dean's Beans organic fair trade cocoa and a pinch of sugar. Heat water and when it gets to stage where it's close to boiling I add a little to the cup and make a thick slurry to mix the cocoa in. Then top with water being sure to leave some room. I then add a...

Congratulations! I believe she already owns the copyright to the recipe. The old send it to yourself in the mail thing is a myth, does not hold up in law. However, just the fact of publishing it with her name on it constitutes ownership.

Our GE electric oven has a double glass door and it is impossible to clean in between the glass where grease has been accumulating. I'm not happy about that at all, lousy design IMO. Otherwise the oven has been great.

I've been making some killer home fries lately. I like to do one medium sized red potato for two people. We try to go easy on the carbs in our house as neither of us has great blood sugars. So this is an easy way to get your potato fix without going overboard on the carbs. I tend to make them...

They made the eye before the measuring cup. ;)

Mmmm, just sauteed a half dozen sea scallops for my lunch. I seared them on medium high heat in avocado oil and butter with a little chopped scallion, tiny piece of chopped mild hot pepper and black pepper. Added a dash of fresh squeezed lemon juice and a splash of white wine at the end...

Thanks for that link. They have a great selection of spices.

I bought a Weber Spirit 210 about two weeks ago and am absolutely thrilled with it. It cooks very evenly and has excellent control, lights on the first click every time. The parts are all easily replaceable down the road if needed. I cannot say enough good about this unit and I wish we had...
