lostxinxyou17 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Desserts! Dinners! Snacks! Breakfast even! Whats your favorite? How do you make it? And how is it special? Me and Paul made this wonderful spaghetti last night! It was actually Ziti noodles...with Prego Tomato, Basil, and Garlic Sauce. Then, instead of adding Hamburger we took some boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them up and sauteed them til they were golden brown and then added them to the sauce! It was WONDERFUL! Next time i think Paul is gonna marinade the chicken though. So...whats your favorite? Or...does your grandma or grandpa or anybody in your family have those famous secret recipes? Me and paul love to cook, so we would love to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 * Pork Tenderloin * 1 large tenderloin Fresh garlic Minced garlic Coarsley ground black pepper A-1 sauce Marinate tenderloin in A-1 for several hours ahead of roasting time. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Make several slits in meat, and put cloves of garlic into them. Roll meat in a mixture of coarse pepper and minced garlic, leaving a lot on the meat to form a crust. Wrap tenderloin tightly in aluminum foil, and roast for a total of 3 hours, 2 1/2 hours without opening the foil, then 1/2 hour to brown the crust. Eat!! This is a really good meal to serve men. Most men have a real meat thing (don't go there!). It's 'specially good with roasted new potatoes and onions. Now I'm hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Every household should order out at least once a week, maybe twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Here's a little recipe I got off of the Food Network a couple of years ago. It's quite popular with our dinner guests. It's served either as a palate cleanser between courses or as a dessert. Uncle's Moscato Chill Ingredients: (to serve four) 1 Bottle of Moscato Wine (Elmo Pio is excellent) 2 packages of clear gelatin mix. 1 tea kettle of boiling water 16 Fresh blackberries(may use raspberries instead) 3 or 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary (not absolutely necessary) Cool whip or whipped cream. 4 lovely but sturdy wine glasses Preparation: 1-Place the berries in a bowl and squeeze the rosemary over the top of them. ( a light oil will seep from the fresh rosemary) Then place the drained rosemary sprigs in the bowl with the berries. Allow berries to marinate while you prepare other ingredients. 2-Prepare the clear gelatin by following the directions on the package. But use only half the water recommended. Stir the boiling water in with the clear gelatin mix in a bowl. 3-To the gelatin add 16 oz. of the moscato wine. Stir evenly until well mixed. 4-Place 4 berries into the bottom of each wine glass. Remove rosemary sprigs and particles first. 5-Pour the gelatin/wine into the glasses. Leave about 1/4 inch of space at top of wine glass. 6-Allow to cool for about 20 minutes then place wine glasses into the refrigerator to cool and set for at least 2 hours prior to serving time. 7-When ready to serve remove wine glasses from fridge and add a dollop of whipped cream topping. Serve with small dessert spoons. Sweet, cool and refreshing. A nice change from sorbet. The moscato is delicious. Note: All brands of gelatin differ so check on the dessert after about 1 1/2 hours in the refrigerator. If still liquidy you may place the glasses in the freezer for 1/2 to 1 hour. Cent' anni!

Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Just a recipe question...for those of you that love fried green tomatoes...do you like to make them with a flour cornmeal mixture or just flour and do you like using buttermilk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I dip them in an egg-wash and regular flour mixed with salt and pepper. Not that I make them a lot...I'd rather have someone else make them for me. One of my good friends knows when I go to her house for supper that there had better be fried green tomatoes or there will be hell to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
