I have been so good lately I wanted to treat myself to something totally sick and chocolatey.


DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME-you'll have all the ingredients there and will probably eat them all up!

The ultimate S'more.....


Graham crackers, Junior mints, marshmallows and peanut butter.

Jr. Mints are mint 'buttons' covered with a shell of chocolate, you can use any kind of mint chocolate if you can't find a junior mint....

Grab your cracker and smear a thin layer of PB on it, then press the Jr. Mints into the PB, burn your marshmallow, press it into the PB and JMs.....

I ate one and felt guilty. I made another one for a dessert snack after lunch....it was whiskers!

I was having a bad day......or two.....

It tasted pretty good and was so sweet I couldn't do more than one!

LOL! I have been at that thread and at an astronomical weight before!

I roasted a chikin yesterday and stuffed it with carrots, onion and celery,

I wasn't into the veggies when I cut the bird apart, so I took the drippings, veggies and some water, tossed them into the blender with some chili flakes, salt, pepper and corn starch.

I blended them and tossed them into a saucepan to get the corn starch to set up the sauce.

It was really good and tasty, the only thing that was weird were the smallest pieces of veggies that didn't blend, I guess you could run it thru a sieve if you want good creamy gravy.....

After Reading through this thread multiple times I just have one thing to say:


Richard, marry me.

Gotta love a man who can cook.

We'd have to get a house with room for two more animals!
Me and the Edster?

Oh, and you have to like spicy!

Isis and Bull say, "As long as you're house trained, the more the merrier."

Dustin was a bit more grumbly about it.

Spicy = great!

I am trying to eat more appropriately. I have been eating gobs of fast food lately - expensive and unhealthy. I like couscous and rice and I am trying to use brown rice and whole-wheat pasta. Does anyone use grains like quinoa, frakee (sp?), etc? Kasha is a Russian/Jewish ingredient- maybe you've seen it accompanying beef stroganoff or as part of kasha varnishkes. I can handle that. Barley is an Eastern European food too- my grandmother used to make it as a side dish and I like barley soup. So I'm comfortable trying both of those. How do I get more grains and less junk in my diet? I I should be eating more vegetables, too. I keep instant oatmeal packets in my desk drawer at work for quick lunches.

Thank you all,
Elyse

Please try this.

Serves about two people?

I don't know what to call it....except delicious?

I bought a bunch of Tilapia fillets and cooked them on the grilll...Lord, they were fantastic!


4 tilapia fillets - i guess any white fish would be as good!
.5 bell pepper
.5 yellow onion
1 potatoe
salt , pepper and what ever seasoning you like.

First,
Slice all the veggies as thin as possible.

Grab a piece of foil-enough to roll up the fish and keep the juices in.

Place the sliced potato on the foil, followed by the fish.

Take the bell pepper and onion, put that on top of the fish, put the another fillet on top and layer on more potato over that. salt and pepper to taste.

Roll the foil up tightly and toss onto the upper grill of your bbq or grill. If you do not have an upper section? Place the packets at the edge of the grill away from direct flame.

Cook for about 20 minutes, serve the packets with lemon slices and a side dish.

Rice is nice......

When you open the packets do it over the rice! The fish 'gravy' is outta this world.

Get a loaf of hard crusty bread to sop up the juices.



It's a nice tasty dish that is easy to prep, cook and serve.

The last two days I have made pizza dough using this recipe....

http://www.recipepizza.com/doughs/pizza_dough.htm

I doubled the recipe-It calls for one tsp of yeast- a packet is 2.25 tsps, so by doubling it, I can make two batches. Each batch makes about two medium thick crust pies or two large thin crust pizzas.

I also put in two tablespoon of sugar instead of honey.

It's a great dough, easy to work with and very simple to make.

One hint?

Roll it thin- it plumps up to twice it's thickness after cooking.
