The girl I'm dating and I are making spaghetti with home made meat sauce, garlic bread, and salad. Yum.
Nice - nothing like homemade sauce. :)
We're having sausage (turkey) and peppers tonight. :)
I don't know what I'm cooking. Late lunch at the diner.

I decided to make a pot roast in the pressure cooker. Still waiting for the pressure to come up. The thing kinda scares me, but the food comes out so good. :)

I think we are having burgers if I buy the ingredients after work. When I was at Stop & Shop before, I saw they had nice pork roasts so I will pick one of those up and attempt my first in the crock pot tomorrow. I plan to do it stuffed w/sauerkraut...maybe on top of onions/rubbed with garlic and mustard too.
I was just browsing around on cooks.com and saw this recipe. Made me think of someone here. :lol: :-whistle-
Looks...interesting.
TATOR TOT HOTDISH
1 lb. hamburger
1/2 onion
1 can mixed vegetables, drained
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. diced cheese
Brown hamburger and onion. Put in greased casserole. Put vegetables over meat. Mix milk, soup and cheese. Pour over vegetables. Top with tator tots. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

My freakin' pot roast was too dry, so I had to add beef broth. That never happened with this recipe before. WTF. I think it might be because I added the potatoes and carrots in there, which I'd never done before. Usually I let it cook by itself.

I don't add potatoes or carrots to that particular recipe, but I do add them when I make pot roast in the crock other times. I don't know if that would be why it was dry.
Do you mean the meat was dry or there wasn't enough liquid?

Jenn, did you put them in at the beginning? Maybe next time try adding them halfway through? Also, what cut of meat did you use? I had a pot roast come out awful and dry once like that--it was an eye round roast I believe.
We ended up having Peruvian rotisserie chicken last night since the bf forgot we had run out of gas for our grill! :lol: I also made the "dramatically seared" green beans I think I've posted about here before. These beautiful green beans I got on sale last week were at the end of their shelf life!
I have a sauerkraut-stuffed pork roast in the crock. I rubbed w/s&p and Dijon mustard and put it on top of a huge sliced yellow onion and about eight crushed cloves of garlic. I dribbled tiny bit of apple cider vinegar in there too. Hope it comes out OK...since I followed no recipe, obviously. :lol:

Jeanne, the crock has made me into a cook. :lol: It's practically idiot-proof. I never cooked anything, really, beyond pasta until I got one! You can make really easy, delicious meals with minimum effort. Once I did that a few times I became much more confident in trying other things e.g. preparing fish on the stove/in the oven, making vegetable dishes etc.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I used an electric wok for the first time last night for the beans; one of our friends picked it up at a yard sale. :o I was pretty happy with how it worked!
Jeanne, the crockpot is so easy! I can't imagine not having one. And I didn't get one until a few years ago. I always joke that I must be the only married woman who didn't get a crock pot for a shower gift! :lol:
I made flounder last night that was so fresh and delicious that I'm tempted to go back and get more for tonight.
I melted a little butter in a baking dish, coated the fish in it, sprinkled on some seasoned bread crumbs, squirted a little lemon juice, and added parsley, lemon pepper, and some sea salt. Baked it for about 15 minutes, and oh my was it good.

I looked at Consumer Reports before and they had some recommendations for types...and amazon's ratings. There was one that had an insert for 2qt, 4qt or 6. Does that make a big difference if most times I'm cooking for 1 or 2 people or can I just get the one size?

That's tricky. It's best to use them at a minimum 2/3 full (although I don't always) but if you get a small one, you can have trouble fitting a large cut of meat like a roast or a chicken in it. I'd get at least a 4 quart. You can always freeze leftovers. And oval > round.
On a related note, I'm thinking about getting one of these for when I'm cooking for a big group. Anyone have one?

The meat wasn't dry at all, just not enough liquid. Once I added the beef broth it was fine, but it tasted more like a regular pot roast and not the cranberry/onion soup variety. It was still really good, though. :)

No, like I told Karen, the roast wasn't dry or awful at all. There just wasn't enough liquid, but it was great once I added the broth.
My mom told me to put the potatoes and carrots in at the beginning, because they usually take longer than meat to cook in the crock. (They were done after the meat.) However, she'd never used this recipe (though when I told her what it was she said it sounded delicious). Next time, I'll either cook them separately or add another can of cranberry sauce.
Trish can I come over?
Why would you want to do that, dear?

You made fish.

Yeah, it probably was just because of the potatoes and carrots. The cranberry sauce and juice from the meat probably absorbs right into them.

You can make very good food in the microwave. It's not a substitute for the stove but an enhancement like a toaster oven or a rice steamer. And it can do a lot more than heat things up. It's gotten a bad rep in my opinion.
I use the microwave like most people...reheat, defrost, popcorn, baked potatoes, etc.
I haven't tried to really cook in it because I can't be bothered worrying about what cookware is best or what type of thing to cover the food with for best results.
If I make french fries, bagel bites, pizza rolls or anything with bread, it's always the toaster oven or regular oven. I like those things crispy and it's just not the same in the micro.

Chicken Pot Pie tonight. If anyone likes pot pie, this is a real easy recipe. You can also substitute turkey (there might be some leftovers later this week!)
In a large bowl, mix:
1lb. bag of frozen mixed veg
1lb chicken pieces (If I don't have leftover chicken, I use 2 or 3 of the 6-oz. boxes of Hormel or Perdue carved chicken)
1 can of cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup gravy (chicken or turkey)
Pour into a 9x13 pan and top with the following mixture for the crust:
1½ c flour
2 tsp baking soda
stick of melted butter
1½c milk
Bake uncovered at 350ºF for an hour.

11-22-09, 04:00 PM
can you name something better in the microwave than oven/stovetop?Well, I didn't say better although I do think corn on the cob steamed in the microwave in the husk is much better than on the stove. But I cook a lot of things that are as good as on the stove - a lot of steamed veggies, a few casseroles that I really like, some indian foods especially curries. I have a number of microwave recipes that I love and they cook faster and use fewer pans which for a working parent is a huge bonus. I would never choose the it over the stove but you said you don't like it because you like good food and I disagree that you can't get good food from the microwave.

But I don't really have a recipe. Here's what I do:
Place spinach in roasting pan and put tilapia over the top of spinach. Add chopped onion and tomatoes over tilapia. Add a little chicken broth to pan and season with salt and pepper/garlic powder, whatever seasonings you like.
Bake in 350 oven for about 25 min or till fish is cooked through.

Yeah, you don't have to cook the spinach first. The chix broth and juices from the fish will cook it. Sometimes I use frozen, so I thaw it out first, but for fresh, just put it in the pan.

Not me. I am having turkey since I didn't make one on Thanksgiving and bought one for half price at Costco two days after Thanksgiving.
I bought a 10lb. turkey and most of the fixings just to be able to make it for leftovers. When you go to someone else's home for Thanksgiving dinner, that's the one thing you really miss.

I think it should be ok. The juice from the whole berries should add the needed liquid, but I've never tried it. As long as you put in a good amount, I don't see why it wouldn't be good.

Last year I froze the whole carcass because I didn't have time to make the soup right away and the soup turned out great. I may do that again this year if I am short of time again. If I make it now I will just end up freezing the soup itself so probably better to just freeze the carcass and the gizzards and make it later on.

I made a few changes though. It called for hoisin sauce, which I didn't have. So I substituted garlic stir fry sauce. And it said to cook for 10 hours, but I didn't start it till noon, so 6 will have to do. The meat is cut in cubes, so it should be fine.

I don't alter many recipes. All I do is leave something out or substitute things. What I subbed today was one sauce for another, so it would just change the taste a little, if anything.

It was a recipe from the Wegmans' magazine that they send out - I tried to de-Wegmanize it as best I could ;-)...
Escarole & Bean Soup with Sausage
MAKES 8 cups
1 1/2 lbs Italian Pork Sausage - shaped into little baby meatballs
3 Tbsp Olive Oil, divided
8oz Chopped Onions
3 cloves Garlic
14oz Escarole
Salt and pepper to taste
1 carton (32 oz) + 1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock/Broth ( I added more)
1 can (15.5 oz) Cannellini Beans drained
1 cup Ditalini Soup Pasta
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in large braising pan on MEDIUM. Add sausage balls and cook, turning to brown all sides, 3-4 min.
Remove sausage from pan and set aside. Discard pan drippings.
In a soup pot, add remaining 2 Tbsp basting oil and onions.
Cook, stirring occasionally, 2-3 min, until onions are translucent.
Add garlic; cook, stirring until softened, about 1 min.
Add escarole; cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 min, until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir in stock, beans, and browned sausage; heat to boiling on MEDIUM-HIGH.
Reduce heat and simmer 10 min.
Add pasta; simmer 10 min. Add parsley and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Came out very good, cooked using the Ducassi method. Had that deep beefy flavor you get with aged steaks. Definitely going to do it again.

How do you dry age a steak? I've never figured out what the taste advantage is, since I've never had one.

Chicken cutlets.
Whenever I make these, I think about how sick it is that I am actually dipping a slaughtered chicken into the beaten unborn fetus of another chicken in order to apply breadcrumbs.
Seems kind of cruel-- like one final insult on top of everything else.
It would be horrific beyond words if an alien race did this to us.
Anyway, yeah-- chicken cutlets.

I use those bags, but they aren't necessary.
You have to keep the temp between 34-38 degress, and it has to have good air flow.

"Humans -- who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals - -- have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to bend them to our will, wear them, eat them -- without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us."
- Carl Sagan
Of course I love meat. Wish I didn't.

I ate leftovers, because I had to just eat anything quickly... and then get to work on my shrimp and calamari salad that I needed to make for tomorrow night.
I'm done... and I can't wait til tomorrow night! (I had to taste-test it and make sure it was ok. And it's FABULOUS! ha... yes, I know self praise stinks, but it IS good.)
