Kiss The Chef

[ellanoize]

My Wife And I both like to cook, But we get stuck in a rut cooking the same thing too often. We mentioned this to a couple ladies at church and one of them gave us this great recipe.
It is called Hungarian Porkchops.

5 center cut porkchops
1 med to large onion (thickly sliced)
1/4 to 1/2 cup sliced bananna peppers (canned or fresh)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
3 tbs oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup water

in large skilliet, place pork chops,add onions, peppers, water, tomatoes, Salt, & Pepper.
Cover and simmer on low heat until pork chops are tender. (depending on thickness of porkchops, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours)

This is really good served over Mashed potatos or pasta.

Bon Appetite.

My favorite desert is Pineapple Upside down cake, I found this simple & EZ recipe, that tastes just like the cake. This is also a good recipe to let kids help with.

***Pineapple Upside Down Biscuit***

1/4 stick of butter
1 cup (Compacted) brown sugar
1 can of Crushed Pinapple (well drained)
1 can of biscuits

Mix butter, sugar, pineapple
place spoonful of mixture into muffin pan
Place biscuit onto mixture
put into pre-heated over per biscuit instruction

*to avoid burning your muffin pan add a bit of water to any unused spots*

*I found this to work better for regular biscuits than the flakey or layered biscuits*

I'm trying to stay away from fried foods, so last night instead of fried chicken, we decided to make BBQ chicken and it turned out so tender you could cut it with a fork.

I used 1/2 bottle of cheap store bought BBQ sauce
add equal part ketchup
a squirt of yellow mustard (to taste)
1/3 cup of brown sugar (to taste)
splash of woreshister (sp)
ground black pepper
2 pinches of Italian seasoning

Place 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a glass baking dish, cover with the BBQ sauce.
cover with aluminum foil, Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

*I chunk up onions and spread across the top before baking*

I had planned on having the left over today, but sometimes during the night, My stepdaughter discovered it pushed behind the cottage cheese and carton of orange juice. So I guess lunch is grilled cheese & salami [img]frown.gif[/img]

After Wednesday night service, The ladies circle hosted a pot luck and a sweetheart of a lady brought 2 pizzas (or so we thought. You know the snotty church ladies (every church has a couple) turned up their nose and were complaining that after all their cooking & baking she just stopped at pizza hut.
I wish I could took a picture of their faces when she opened the boxes (provided by her nephew who works at pizza hut) to reveal a home made desert that she called a Fruit pizza. Guess who she gave a copy of the recipe to...Yep. She said as long as the two snots at church don't get a copy I could share. So here tis:

*****Fruit Pizza*****

1 roll of sugar cookie dough (store bought is what she used)
8 oz cream cheese
1 (sm) tub cool whip
1 can mandrian oranges (drained)
1 can peaches (drained, save juice)
1 Can pinapple (drained save juice)
2 ripe banannas
1 can cherry pie filling
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp corn starch
1/3 cup light corn syrup


****Crust
Press out cookie dough on a pizza pan (or cookie sheet)
bake per cookie instructions.

****Pizza sauce
mix cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar. then fold in cool whip.

spread evenly over cooled, baked cookie

****toppings
spread cherry pie filling, arrange pineapple, oranges, peaches, banannas

slice the banannas and soak in pineapple juice for about 5-10 minutes to keep them from turning brown

in a sausepan add pineapple & peach juice, add 2 tsp of corn starch, 1/3 cup of light corn syrup.

mix well then add heat, bring to boil, turn to simmer till it starts to thicken.
let it cool, then drizzle over pizza.
refridgerate & chill.


I haven't tried this yet but her pizza was so sweet & good, I'm looking forward to making this

*sniff*..*sniff*.I smell food!!!! is Roger cooking again??

[ellanoize]

Yeah, I've been cooking, I was hoping to get a couple new recipes for my files. I love to cook, but I find myself getting in a rut.

Tonight I made pizza bread for all of us, it was really good, I may add it here, if anyone is interested.

I need a recipe for mexican rice (Like you get at a mexican resteraunt) not that jucie, tomatoey stuff you find in the stores.

I would also like to get a good meatball recipe (not the sweet cocktail meatballs, but the big italian ones)

Meatballs are easy to make! And my lil men just
love them!

I make them kinda like meatloaf, except I add
Italian spices to the mix.

1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cp Italian bread crumbs
Italian seasoning to taste (I use 1/2 tsp)

Mix altogether and make whatever size meatballs
you like. Bake in 350 degree oven. Depending on
the size, this may take 15-30.

If I am making meatball subs, I put them in hot
spaghetti sauce to simmer for a few min after
they are baked to soak in the sauce!

If you want pork and hate the greasey mess, add
wine to it. When I make a pork roast, I stick
cloves of garlic in holes made with a knife and
then pour 1 1/2 cp of my dads homemade peach wine
over it and bake. Talk about yummy without all
the grease! The alcohol breaks down most of
the grease and adds such a good flavor!
