2 1/4 lb potatoes peeled

a pinch of salt

Steam the potatoes for a while, then skin them and then mash them while they are still hot. add the pinch of salt and slowly knead in the flour to obtain fairly firm, smooth non-sticky dough.

roll dough out into snakes about as thick as your finger, and cut the snakes into one inch pieces.

cook it in salted boiling water, and wait till they rise to the top. wait 2ish min after that, and take them out.

Spinach Dip

1 big bag of frozen spinach (or two boxes)
1 can concentrated cream of mushroom soup
1 container of sour cream (biggish)
1 packet dry vegetable soup mix
grated cheddar


Microwave spinach (about 4 minutes) until un-frozen, squeeze water out, mix in other ingredients, bake at 325 for 30 minutes.

[schwab]

Corn Soup

1 Onion
1 Bag of frozen corn
butter
chips
can of green chilis
bag of grated chedder cheese
milk
chicken broth
chips

Put some butter in bottom of pan, melt it and add one chopped onion to it. Cook the onion until translucent. Then add a bag of frozen corn. Cook the corn until it is thorougly thawed and warm. Then add a couple of cans of chicken broth (or I use chicken bullion cubes dissolved in water) and a can of green chilis and add either enough water or milk to make it the right consistency. Then cook until well heated. At this point you can add some grated cheese, but don't cook to long with the cheese in it or it will stick. Or you can put the cheese on after the soup is served.

add chips to bowl and eat

the cheap beer should be Coors.. and not Coors Lite.. the Full Fat Coors.

[James]

Where do you think he got it from

[schwab]

weird my mom made this exact recipe when i visited my folks this weekend

i think my mom stole it from a recipe book

i never make it exactly like taht, but yeah its the basic

oh yeah and your mom gave me it

[Spectatrix]

Not my recipe, but one I made tonight and thought was really good:

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup water
1 can whole kernal corn, undrained
3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
4 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup canned black beans, washed (optional)



1. Mix soup, salsa, water, corn, and beans(optional) and rice in 2-quart shallow baking dish.

2. Top with chicken (seasoned with salt and pepper) and sprinkle with chili powder.

3. Cover tightly with casserole lid or foil.

4. Bake at 375° F for 45 minutes or so.

5. Sprinkle with cheese.


The bake time listed in the recipe is a bit low. If you put the rice in there uncooked, expect it to take 1 - 1 1/2 hours. If you soak it or partially cook it beforehand, I'm sure it could be done in 45 minutes, though. I substituted cream of mushroom soup and it worked great -- I bet cream of celery would work well too.

Gross-out Smoothie

cup of milk flavored with splenda (or sugar) and vanilla
(or vanilla soy milk, or whatever)

A bit of ricotta cheese (or not, the recipe calls for tofu, but i didnt have any..and i normally put ricotta in my shakes to make it more filling)

cup of berries (or any kind of frozen fruit..i used mixed berries, the recipe recommends a banana or strawberries)

cup of raw spinach (i put in two big handfuls, this is the gross out part...turns it a nasty baby shit green.....BUT...trust me you cant taste the spinach..just get over the color)

the recipe also says you can use chocolate powder..or whatever flavor you want.

put all that stuff in a blender and hit the go


its a good way to get those leafy greens in..i used atleast two cups..thats almost half of the amount im supposed to have a day...and its done by 7AM..just put in it an opaque cup

[James]

No. You mix the eggs, as if you were going to scramble them. Then you pour them into the boiling water. through like a fork or something so it doesn't clump up.

[jonathan83]

the way i made scrambled eggs was really easy.

just crack eggs in a bowl, stir a bit...put in microwave for a bit...stir some more, then microwave again. total time = 2 minutes or less.

Cream of Pumpkin Soup

1 T. butter or margarine
1 lg. onion, chopped
2(14 1/2 oz.) cans ready-to-serve chicken broth
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin
1 t. salt

Fantastic Whole Wheat - S/F - Blueberry Muffins

2 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tblsp Baking soda
1 1/4 c Buttermilk
2 Egg , lightly beaten
1/2 c Splenda
1/3 c Canola oil
1 c Blueberries, frozen

Mix the flour and baking soda together. In a separate bowl, whisk the next 4 ingredients together until creamy, then stir in the blueberries. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Mix together until the batter is moistened yet slightly lumpy. Pour into foil/paper muffin cups and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes.Yield: 12 Muffins



Got this one from the SBD forum, I'm making them right now....so we'll see how it goes

[DaveFireDancer19]

alrighty..these turned out REALLY good...

i added a pinch of salt..and used whole wheat white flour instead of WW pastry stuff

rose just right and tastes great! no bitterness from the wheat flour

CURRY GUMBO

-1 large onion, rough cut or diced.
-2 medium to large tomatoes, rough cut or diced.
-1lb chopped okra (just get the frozen bag).
-3 large bell peppers (your color choice), rough cut or sliced.
-1+ jalepeno(s) [your preference] diced
-1 to 3 chopped cloves of garlic
-1 lemon
-2 pounds shrimp
-rice
-loaf french bread
-lots of curry, flour, cooking oil, salt & pepper

Roux Gravy
Ok, this part is up to your discretion as to how much of this base you want in the gumbo.
Pour a decent amount of cooking oil into a saucepan and let it heat up a little. Stir in a decent amount of flour so as to thicken up the mix. KEEP STIRRING at low heat. Add a lot of curry, as this will be the main flavoring for the gumbo. Add flour/oil/curry to your desire of thickness/taste. Keep stirring until it browns and is well mixed and 'cooked.' You will add this to the veggies once they have softened up.

Main pot madness
In a large cooking pot, add some oil to the bottom of the pan. Add the bell peppers first and let them cook for a few minutes. Next, add the onions. Let them cook for a bit as well. Now, add the tomatoes, jalepeno, and garlic. Stir/cook them while adding some salt, pepper, and a bit of curry. Once the vegetables are to your liking, pour in the roux and STIR. Now, start adding cups of water while stirring, until it reaches your desired thickness. I usually make it to be like a thick soup/almost stew concoction. Add a slice or two of lemon here...it helps to meld the flavors. Toss in some more salt, pepper, and curry now if you'd like. Let it heat at medium temp for a couple minutes, then toss in the okra.
Allow the whole pot to simmer for about 10 or so minutes (less or more depending on how much you are making) then toss in the (peeled, devained, eithout tails) shrimp. It shouldn't take to long for the shrimp to cook, but let it simmer another 5-10 minutes to be sure.

Boil a pot of rice, the amount is up to you.
Buy a loaf of French bread, bake it wiith some oil/butter, garlic, and salt.


When it's ready, serve over rice with some French bread. It takes a while, what with all the prep work, but it rocks.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c. peanut butter
1 c. sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 t. baking soda
Up to 1 c. additions as desired: nuts, chocolate chips, etc.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets lightly (unless using non-stick sheets).

2. Cream together peanut butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Use an electric mixer if necessary.

3. Add egg and baking soda to peanut butter mixture; beat until well-combined. If you have any additions, mix them in at this point.

4. Drop dough in 1 teaspoon portions on cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart (hint: you should be able to fit 12 cookies on an average cookie sheet).

5. Flatten dough with the tines of a fork to make a criss-cross pattern.

6. Bake until puffed and golden, about 10 minutes.

7. Cool cookies on sheet for about 2 minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to cool.

8. Makes 2-3 dozen cookies, depending on size.

[James]

without flour, how will the cookie get bigger when you bake?

[DaveFireDancer19]

they dont get bigger (atleast from my experience)

you can make a variation if youre more sugar/fat aware by using natural PB (aka just peanuts and salt...no saturated fat) and splenda

[Spectatrix]

without flour, how will the cookie get bigger when you bake?

The flour has nothing to do with the dough rising... that's all due to the leavening agent (baking soda in this case). Flour just lends "weight" to the cookie. These cookies have a very light, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Quick Classic Greek Salad (Makes 4 Servings)

1/2 C Greek vinaigrette dressing, like Kraft
1 can (14 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1/2 C orange juice
1 pkg. baby spinach
1 TBs. lemon juice
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced
4 oz. cherry/grape tomatoes, halved
1/3 C sliced red onion

In bowl, combine salad dressing, orange juice, lemon juice and feta cheese until just blended. In large bowl, toss tomatoes, artichoke hearts, baby spinach, cucumber and sliced onion. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss.

didnt use the onion.


Strip Steak with Pepper Cream Sauce

4 (6 to 8-ounce) strip steaks, 3/4 to 1-inch thick
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
2 tablespoons clarified, unsalted butter
3/4 cup beef stock or broth
3 tablespoons cognac
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon green peppercorns in brine, drained and slightly crushed

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch, heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Once butter is hot, add steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare and 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove steaks from pan and place on a rack set on a sheet pan; place in oven to keep warm.

Add the stock to the saute pan and whisk until the crispy bits release from bottom of pan. Allow the liquid to reduce for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cognac, heavy cream, and green peppercorns to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, whisking continually, until sauce thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes.

Season the sauce, to taste, with kosher salt. Place steaks on plates, top with sauce, and serve immediately.

united didnt have the green peppercorns so i didnt use it.

that steak recipie is the sex in your mouth.

baked potato, biscuits, and some wine on the side.

Easy Almond Milk

2 c. water
2 T. raw almond butter
1 1/2 T. honey
dash of sea salt
dash of oil (olive, flax, hemp)
vanilla or cocoa/carob if desired

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend! Makes a nummy, frothy milk-shake like drink. The proportions here are approximate... use more or less nut butter and honey to suit your own tastes. Makes about 2 c. of "milk".

You could also use any natural nut/seed butter... i.e. cashew butter, hazelnut butter, tahini, etc. Peanuts are supposedly toxic, but if you don't believe that (I don't particularly at this point), you could use natural peanut butter too. Not Jiffy or Skippy or any brand like that, but the stuff that you have to mix up because it separates.

Mushroom & Wilted Greens Soup

1/4 C. olive oil
1/4 C. miso
3-4 cups water
3-5 garlic cloves (more if you like garlic)
Blend these five ingredients up well in your blender.

2 C. Spring greens
Pulse-chop with above ingredients until desired consistency.

In a large bowl add:

4 green onions, sliced thinly
8 mushrooms, diced or however you like them in your soup
1T. soy sauce
1/4 t. salt or to taste
1/4 t. pepper or to taste

This soup is meant to be eaten warm (so I just use warm tap water in the blender), but you can heat it up on the stove if you'd like.

2 frozen bananas (freeze w/o peel), thinly sliced

Because bananas form the base for the ice cream, dummy.

Vegan Chocolate Pudding

2 large avocados
1/2 c. honey or agave nectar
1/4 c. cocoa (or carob powder)
1 T. vanilla
water

Put the first four ingredients in a blender and blend, adding water as necesary to get it to the desired consistency. Makes 2 c. of VERY rich pudding. Also would work well as chocolate icing, especially after it's been sitting in the fridge for a couple of days.

Fried Coke



To make dough batter:

Take Bisquick mix -- BUT instead of using water or milk as the liquid, you use coke.
- Then you form small dough balls and marinade them in coke.
- Next you fry these dough balls, and let drain.

Serve Fried Coke in a cup in this order:

- Splash of Coke in bottom of cup
- Add dough balls
- Top off with whip cream, a dash of cinnamon, and powdered sugar, w/cherry on top.
