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

I heard this recipe for scrambled eggs this weekend:

Boil water.

Mix egg in bowl. Drop egg in boiling water. Strain. Enjoy.

... which happens to be the same technique used for making egg drop soup, except that boiled broth (usually chicken) is used instead of plain water.

And - kind of important - you don't strain egg drop soup...

[Spectatrix]

Yeah, that too.

I should hope that people reading this thread aren't THAT culinarily retarded.

you mean poached eggs?

[James]

you mean poached eggs?

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.

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.

I think it would technically be scrambled, poached eggs.

I use to cook like that. They're not near as good as when cooked in a skillet.
