I thought I'd make a thread where we could post our all-time favorite recipes. Let's keep this thread ongoing, as I'm sure we'll add new recipes as time goes on. I love to trade recipes, and I love to try other people's 'great ones'. I'll start with this one, and add more later... EMERIL'S KICKED UP MEATLOAF (It absolutely ROCKS! You'll never try another recipe for it.) 2 tablespoons butter 1 large onion, chopped 1 rib celery, finely chopped 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped 2 teaspoons minced garlic, plus 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup ketchup (use more if you're adding more tomatoes for the sauce), plus 1/4 cup 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup Heavy cream 2/3 cup Breadcrumbs 1 pound ground chuck 1/2 pound pork sausage (such as breakfast sausage) 1/2 pound ground veal (If you're not into veal, use 1lb sausage, turns out great) 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons plus 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 slices bacon, cut in half 2 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar 1/2 cup canned tomatoes, chopped or crushed (I use about 2 CANS, makes more sauce) In a large skillet heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Add all but 1/4 cup of the onions, the celery and all but 2 tablespoons of the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of the garlic, the thyme, rosemary, and parsley and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the vegetable mixture is cooled, transfer to a mixing bowl and add the eggs, mustard, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 teaspoon of the Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the breadcrumbs, ground chuck, pork sausage, ground veal, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Transfer meat mixture to a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan and using your hands, form mixture into a loaf shape. Arrange the slices of bacon on the top of the meatloaf and set aside. In a small saucepan combine the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped onion, remaining 2 tablespoons of green pepper, remaining teaspoon of garlic, remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup, remaining 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, remaining 2 teaspoons of pepper, vinegar, and canned tomatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the uncooked meatloaf and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bacon and sauce are slightly caramelized on the top of the meatloaf. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve along with the Macaroni with 4 Cheeses. |

TJ, it really is the best meatloaf I've had in my entire life. Everone I serve it to swears by it. It's the only meatloaf I'll eat.
|
I think it was the combination of the bell pepper, hot sausage, and mix (%s) of spices that caught my eye. Like most people, I'm kind getting over the same old foods the same old ways and now that my wife both works and goes to school, I have opportunity to do something about it. Thanks again, Tj |

DVR9's (DV8's if you prefer) Margarita Grilled Mahi For this phenominal dish, you will need the following: Fresh fish of your choice. I like mahi, group, salmon, flounder or trout. Tequila, limes, cointreau etc... (margarita ingredients) Salt, Pepper Peach/Mango Salsa (I make my own, but Newmans Own is excellent too) Fire up the grill (unless you are TexRdNeck. In that case, consume mass quantities of Miller Lite and then fire up grill). Make a pitcher of Margarita's. Use your favorite recipe. Drink a few. Save some as a marinade. Place filets in a tupperware or baking dish. Sprinkle/rub with a dash of salt and pepper. Pour Margarita over filet. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Remove from dish and place on medium fire grill. Baste filet with marinade as you go. Grille first side and flip. Reduce heat to low. When second side is halfway done, spoon on several spoonful's of salsa. Cover grill and let finish. Remove from fire and serve with more margarita's.

DV8's Simply the Best You'll Ever Eat" Beef/Venison Stew. Works great with any big game meat. 2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 cups chopped yellow onions 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 bay leaves 2 sprigs fresh thyme 1 cup seeded and roughly chopped plum tomatoes 8 ounces button mushrooms, wiped clean and quartered 2 cups dry red wine 3 cups reduced beef or chicken stock (can make from Beef Bullion) 1 pound baking potatoes, like russets, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 cup green peas Place the meat in a dish. Combine the flour. Dredge the meat in the flour to lightly coat, shaking to remove any excess. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat in batches and cook, stirring until evenly browned. As the meat browns, remove to a plate. Add the onions, carrots, and turnip, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook until brown, about 2 minutes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, and tomatoes, and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add the peas to the stew during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaves and thyme stems. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Great served with biscuits or homemade bread! Excellent for camping/hunting trips as it is easy to make in one cast iron pot over a fire. I make large batches and freeze for later! |

 Warm, Soft Chocolate Cake Makes 4 individual cakes Undercooked chocolate cake: "A mistake," says Jean-Georges, that has become one of the most popular (and copied) desserts in New York. When you cut into the brownie like crust with your spoon, the warm creamy pudding like center oozes out. This brings out the kid in everyone; but the barely sweet nature of the chocolate batter is too sophisticated for most children. It's best when served with a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream. The cakes can be prepared ahead, refrigerated, and then brought to room temperature before baking. Warm, Soft, Chocolate Cake 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter; plus a little for buttering the molds 4 squares (4 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, preferably Valrhona 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons flour; plus a little more for dusting 1. In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water; heat the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate is almost completely melted.( I just nuke them together ) While that's heating, beat together the eggs, yolks, and sugar with a whisk or electric beater until light and thick. 2. Beat together the melted chocolate and butter; it should be quite warm. Pour in the egg mixture, then quickly beat in the flour; just until combined. 3. Butter and lightly flour four 4-ounce molds, custard cups, or ramekins. Tap out the excess flour Divide the batter among the molds. (At this point you can refrigerate the desserts until you are ready to eat, for up to several hours; bring them to room temperature before baking.) 4. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake the molds on a tray for 6 to 7 minutes; the center will still be quite soft, but the sides will be set. 5. Invert each mold onto a plate and let sit for about 10 seconds. Unmold by lifting one corner of the mold; the cake will fall out onto the plate. Serve immediately. ----------------------- ORANGE SHOYU CARAMELIZED SALMON From the Kitchen of: Ritz Carlton Kapalua, Chef Craig Connole Ingredients: Two 6oz. Salmon Filets 1 Tblsp. Oil 1 oz. Soy Sauce 1 oz. Grande Marnier ( doesn't have to have this I rarely use it) 1/4 Cup Sugar Instructions: Season salmon with salt and pepper. Press salmon into sugar for three seconds and then remove. Heat a sauté pan to medium high heat, then add oil and place salmon in pan, sugar side down. Cook until sugar becomes a dark caramel color. De-glaze the pan with soy sauce and Grande Marnier. Turn the salmon over and remove from pan. Place salmon, sugar side up on a cookie sheet and place in the oven at 350° F. for 4-6 minutes. |

This hot fudge pudding cake is simply awesome. You gotta serve it with a nice vanilla ice cream. f you have cold, brewed coffee on hand, it can be used in place of the instant coffee and water, but to make sure it isn’t too strong, use 1 cup of cold coffee mixed with 1/2 cup of water. Serve the cake warm with vanilla or coffee ice cream. Leftovers can be reheated, covered with plastic wrap, in a microwave oven. Serves 8 2 teaspoons instant coffee 1 1/2 cups water 2/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (2 1/2 ounces) 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed, 1 3/4 ounces) 1 cup granulated sugar (7 ounces) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 ounces semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate, chopped 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (3 3/4 ounces) 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup whole milk 1/4 teaspoon table salt 1 large egg yolk 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Stir instant coffee into water; set aside to dissolve. Stir together 1/3 cup cocoa, brown sugar, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar in small bowl, breaking up large clumps with fingers; set aside. Melt butter, remaining 1/3 cup cocoa, and chocolate in small bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water; whisk until smooth and set aside to cool slightly. Whisk flour and baking powder in small bowl to combine; set aside. Whisk remaining 2/3 cup sugar, vanilla, milk, and salt in medium bowl until combined; whisk in yolk. Add chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Add flour mixture and whisk until batter is evenly moistened. 2. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly to sides and corners. Sprinkle cocoa/sugar mixture evenly over batter (cocoa mixture should cover entire surface of batter); pour coffee mixture gently over cocoa mixture. Bake until cake is puffed and bubbling and just beginning to pull away from sides of baking dish, about 45 minutes. (Do not overbake.) Cool cake in dish on wire rack about 25 minutes before serving. |

All ya all Chinese Recipe Take all you all got in the fridge left over and stick it in a wok with some soy sause. Serve with rice. Remember to keep your order straight by what cooks fastest last so everything is done at the same time. Actually it's a great food stretcher. Tj |

My entry at last winter's dessert and liquor party, served with Godiva chocolate liquor. White chocolate bread pudding: pudding: 6 cups whipping cream 2 cups milk 1 cup sugar 20oz white chocolate, broken into small pieces 4 whole eggs 15 egg yolks 24" loaf french bread, use stale or slice then dry in a 275 deg oven about 5 min sauce: 8oz white chocolate 1/2 cup whipping cream garnish: 2 oz dark chocolate, grated procedure: preheat oven to 350 In a large saucepan heat the whipping cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat. When hot, take off heat and add the white chocolate pieces. Stir until melted. Combine the whole eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the eggs in a steady stream, whipping the eggs as you pour. Place the stale sliced bread in a 9x12x2 pan (when in doubt a bit bigger if this is not available). Pour 1/2 the bread pudding mix over the bread. Use your fingers to press the bread into the mix so that it absorbs the liquid and becomes soggy (it'll just float too much otherwise). Pour in the remaining mix. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour, then take off the foil and bake another 1/2 hour until it is golden brown. sauce: Bring cream to boil in a small sauce pan. Take off heat and add the white chocolate, stir until smooth and melted. serve: cut into triangles spoon sauce over pudding sprinkle with dark chocolate |
I bet this is really good... it should be with 9 eggs between 12 muffins! |
This sounds absolutely heavenly! I'm gonna try this sometime soon and pass it along to my mother. She organizes the catering for her church's events and she's a dang good cook. She'll love this.
|
Yeah, but they gotta be cheesy eggs and prepare to skip lunch and possibly dinner. Muffins will be the death of me. I grew to love them in college (comfort food) and they're the reason why I can't do Atkins. I do, however, substitute whole wheat flour in my recipes and use bananas/applesauce in lieu of oil. I try.

If I ever make it to an ARFCOM shoot or perhaps The Hun Farm next year, I will now have to prove you wrong. Just promise me you won't be mad when you gain a few extra pounds. Women always love me while they are eating, but hate me in the following weeks as the extra pounds pack on.

I love making this dessert....very simple to make and you will never have leftovers. 2 cans crushed pinapple 2 cans cherry pie filling 1 box of yellow cake mix (I sometimes use one and a half boxes. It depends on how big of a pan you are using.) 1-2 sticks of butter Pour the pinapple in a glass pan and spread around evenly. Do the same with the cherry pie filling. Pour the yellow cake mix over top the fruit so that it covers everything. With your fingertips, make a lot of small holes in the cake mix all over it. Melt the butter and pour over top the cake mix. Put in the oven at 350 degrees until golden brown (about 20 minutes). Serve and Enjoy. |

Bellona, do you mean frosting where you wrote "filling". I'm unsure what there is to fill. Also, how long do you cook it for? |
