Thats what this forum is all about...I've been waiting for some new recipes to show up here
Hi Cap! Got a note there was some action on your blog. Apparently people just haven't gotten the feel for it yet! Cookies, brownies and such are a big deal around here. I have recipe for peanut butter cookies you might like. There's no flour, so people with wheat allergies can have them...and the peanut butter flavor is stronger without the flour. Makes 1 dozen large, soft cookies; multiplies without changes.
1 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients. Shape into balls. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and press lightly. Bake 12 minutes at 350F. Cookies should not be translucent, cook until opaque but not browned. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet five minutes (to firm up). Remove to cooling rack. Hide when cool!
How's things around your house?
My station has been on a chicken/fish kick this year. Really wanting to take a better attitude towards the overall health of our station. Been kinda nice, I personally, could use all the help I can get (need to lose a few)....however that being said, I do make a killer chili....participated in a fund raiser for Illinois Camp "I am me" which is a burn camp for kids. Made 20 gallons of chili, won the "contest again...and helped raise $2000 for Burn Camp. Quite a nice time. From a station level, I've done the home made pizza things, ribs are a plus, but more and more....grilling...fish, chicken, burgers, ribs.....love the grill. BE SAFE and COOK Thats my motto (at least as of now)....
Well Im from a small Dept and we don't do alot of cooking yet but I do have a easy spaghetti recipe. 2 cans of favorite sauce whatever meat and noodles. The secret and you will be suprised is when you brown your meat put hot salza 16 oz per pound. It leaves a the onion and peppers when you strain the meat and adds to the Spaghetti. Also works for steaks or pork tenderloin. Marinate over night the tenderloin and cook cut up zuccini and squash and put in Fajita marinade and boil over the grill while cooking the tenderloin. When tenderloin is done you have some great Fajitas.
mmmmm....sounds yummy, my gys won't eat mushrooms though
That does sound good. Will try it out myself.
My company loves it when I make mac & cheese. I make it from scratch and lol, it's def. not good for the waistline. I couldn't believe the number of people who had NEVER had it from scratch, only boxed. I usually make it with baked ham decorated w/ cherries, pineapple and cloves.
At my station the guys love what ever I cook. Usually when I cook it depends on the weather and day. During the week I usually cook something like Pork roast, whole loin, chops, or Spaghetti. My spaghetti usually has several meats in it. I like to use steak cut into chunks, sweet Italian sausage, ground beef, and during hunting season I add deer. But when I have more time I break out the grill and we do steaks, ribs, or pulled pork and beef. All of which I use my own rub and BBQ sauce.

This is for dinner today.

Your guys will eat the shrooms if you force them to...lol
well you know, too much chili could end up being a fire hazard lol!
OK, Here's the secret Sausage/Peppers and Onions recipe:

I usually figure 3 per person:

Packages of sweet sausage
Green Peppers (1 pepper for every 3 sausages)
Sweet Onions ( 1 fist size onion for every 3 sausage)

Stick each sausage once with a fork (keeps it from exploding). Put the sausage in a large stock pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer until sausage is cooked. Drain almost all of the liquid (leave about 1/2 cup). Add peppers/onions, cover and put back on low heat until the onions/peppers soften up. Drain thoroughly.
Now comes the secret part.

Add 1 stick butter ( more if you have several lbs of sausage)
about 1/4 cup Franks red hot sauce
about 1/2 cup open pit BBQ sauce.

Gently stir the butter and sauces into the sausage/pepper/onion mixture and put it back on low heat until the peppers/onions fall apart when you try to pick them up with a fork.
are guys like any kind of food that you put in there face but like ribs pizza
