Thread: What'cha Cooking?

Tweet

Ok, I'm a foody and would like to know what people on here are cooking each day. It doesn't have to be really specia but, if it is, definitely inform us. Also, please post recipes or links to them if it's something out of the ordinary or someone really wants to know how to make it or what it is.

Today I'm starting bolongaise sauce for this weekend and I'm in the process of cooking Ropa Vieja.

Tuesday, I had buffalo wings and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Last night, I had cupcakes and pasta salad. Tonight, I'm making reservations.

There is a food thread on the forum if you're looking for some recipes: Not sure it's exactly what you're looking for tho.

Why does your balogna need a sauce?

I 'cook', usually by throwing stuff that smells good into something trial and error like. Not a lick of training, and I'm sure I'm doing it 'wrong', but I do have a pile of ancient family recipes my grandma threw away (I literall took out of the garbage can) because you can't find ingredients for anymore, and I take to updating in that time between Halloween and Christmas that I'm not allowed to work on things.

My last creation was a complete original.

Brats on the grill tonight!

There are some good recipes here.
Hey Grandpa What's For Supper?

Buffalo wings, YUM! Krispy Creme, good but, not good for you. lol Only had it once.

Unorthodox, liked the idea of both of those chickens thrown together but, never thought of adding rosemary. Chili sauce and hot sauce would give it a good kick while the orange juice still keeps it kind of sweet.

Two weekends in a row of brats, I've had enough!! Still have 6 in the fridge rotting and waiting to be thrown out. lol

Thanks for the heads up on the recipe pages. Some of those things sounded good. Got to keep things kind of healthy around here though. I tend to use splenda a lot and cut down on high carb foods.

Growler- I got to admit I was impressed with those fancy food names. I am no cook. Do you cook/ chef professionally?

No, I'm not a pro. I do love cooking and challenging myself with new things. I really wanted to go to the Cordon Bleu but, just can't do it. The Ropa Vieja is really simple recipe. It's mexican slow cooked chuck roast with picante sauce, red wine, water, onion soup mix and sauted onion. I do a 4 lb roast and let it cook all day. It just falls apart. Tonight we put it over toasted hoggie buns. Now the left overs we can put over rice or make fajitas. The bolognaise is just a fancy word for speghetti sauce that has been marenating all day. lol

Tonight was Chipotle But last night I made a mix of cream cheese, onions, bacon, herbs de provance and garlic, then stuffed it in some chicken breasts and wrapped it all on puff pastry. VERY yummy, rich and filling.

Hopefully I can get back to cooking once this semester is done.

Growler - these were Green Pepper and Garlic Brats (needed a change up from Portabella mushroom and Swiss brats) - I avoid the carbs too so no bun, and a grilled Veggie mix from the Farmers Market today.
