    Default Fave Recipe?

    Ok I love to cook and love to make food that actually tastes good. I also know there are alot of moms here on the board. I know you girls know how to cook. So anyone with a great recipe(s) to share even if there are simple or if its pure comfort food go ahead and share. Im curious as to what everyone likes and makes.

    I recently tried one of RetiredDancers recipes she shared in chat the a while back and I loved it. MMM..Mexican Lasagna.

    Shannon's 2 no fail date meals (one hi-jacked from Emeril):
    *Stuffed filet mignon on a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with firecracker onions*
    Take a filet mignon, cut a slit in the top that goes about half-way through the filet. Stuff about 1 teaspoon of crumbled blue cheese in the pocket. Put a toothpick through the hole to close it. Put the filets in a big skillet, brown them for about 2 minutes on each side, then put them in the oven and cook them until they're done the way you prefer (well done for myself).
    Boil peeled and cubed potatoes and then drain them when they're cooked all the way. Add butter, milk (or evaporated milk if you like it really thick), salt, pepper, cayenne, a little sour cream, fresh chopped chives, and blue cheese or ranch salad dressing, whichever you prefer (the blue cheese is tangier and adds more kick). The amount of these ingredients are related to how many potatoes you have prepared. Taste test your way through.
    Fire cracker onions: Cut an onion theway you make onion rings, making the rings about 1/2 or 1/3 inch thick. Put them in a ziploc soaked with Frank's Red Hot hot sauce, let soak for like an hour or so. Fill a bowl half full of flour. Sprinkle the onions very well with flour, and then fry.
    To plate, put a spoonful of mashed potatoes on a plate, put the filet on top (remove toothpick!!), and top the filet with a few firecracker onions.
    *Salmon Caesar Salad*
    Take a filet of salmon (about 3 and 1/2 or 4 inches wide), and place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cayenne (or Tony Chachere's if you can find it in a gourmet store), parsley flakes, and dill (do NOT forget the dill!). Melt some margarine or butter in the micorwave and brush it on the filet before and after adding the spices. Make a little pouch with the foil (bring in the sides, then fold the other sides over). Bake for about 20-23 minutes at about 400 degrees. Make a bagged or homemade caesar salad, wait until the fish has cooled, and top the salad with the salmon.

    Enjoy, I have so mny recipes.

    I make really good chicken enchiladas, mole, hmmm I make a pretty unhealthy squash that starts out with bacon and butter. I like to cook. I have been perfecting my skills when it comes to grilling dead animals. Oh also pan fried sweet potatoes, those are so evil.

    Have you ever checked out Rachel Ray, on the food network? (30 min. meals) She also has cook books & dvds. Great ideas for fast meals, & usually lower cal. too. I cook more now that Mom @ home w/me. I buy brown cooked frozen rice @ Trader Joes, it microwaves up quick. Also buy organic broccoli florets, tofu, & mix together & cook. I get spelt flour tortillas. Broil chicken breast in olive oil, garlic, & lemon juice (idea from R>R. I served part to Mom w/rice & brocc., & sliced the rest up w/tort,. inclu. goat gouda cheese from T.J's.

    Ok, since I posted a healthy recipe, here's the bad one

    My boyfriends kids were over this weekend and we made these. I got the recipe from www.allrecipes.com (AWESOME SITE, check it out) These cookies are like the big chewy moist ones you get at the cookie shop in the mall. SOOO bad, I'm not going to even post the nutritional values... lol.

    Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
    INGREDIENTS:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
    DIRECTIONS:

    1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
    2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
    3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
    4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
