Pico De Gallo

1. dice some tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and only 1-2 chile peppers (depending on how hot you want it).

2. squeeze a half a lime or a full lime depending on the portion size (party size, giant bowl, i would say about 1 whole lime).

3. pour only A LITTLE BIT of tomato sauce from a can. 

4. stir

5. you're done.

easiest sh-t to make.

this is also great as a topping on mexican rice, every kind of taco you can think of... everything tex-mex... you can put that sh-t in it.

i also love Mongolian BBQ!!!

it's not authentic asian, but it's still #### delicious.

i always throw in beef, chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, crab meat, green peppers, bean sprouts, pineapples, tomatoes, lots of onions and various different sauces... soy sauce, fruit juice, chili sauce, hot oil, etc. and top it off with some sriracha sauce. SOOO GOOD!!!!

Ok i call this sammich the Poor Paddy

First you make your corned beef (im not posting a recipe for that...just look it up)
then you take two forks and shred it up, kinda like pulled pork.
Next you toss it into a skillet and fry it up a bit.
Next you pour in some of the stock thats left over from when you made the corned beef.
If you didn't add any veggies when you cooked the meat you can add in some diced carrots and onions. Let that come to a slight boil then slowly stir in flour, reducing your heat and letting it thicken into a gravy.
Pile it on top of a toasted sour dough roll and top with cheddar cheese and cooked cabbage.

Serve with choice of potatoes and dark beer.

XD those were like my thoughts exactly

[Majin_Mayhem]

• 2 cups water
• 3 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil
• 2 green plantains

Combine water, garlic and salt in medium size glass bowl and set aside.

In a large (12-inch) saute pan, heat oil to 325 F. Peel plantains and slice crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Carefully add plantains to oil and fry until golden yellow in color, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. (The oil should come halfway up the side of the plantain). With a spider or slotted spoon, remove the plantains from the pan and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, standing them on their ends. With the back of a wide, wooden spatula, press each piece of plantain down to half its original size. Then place the plantains in the water and let soak for 1 minute. Remove and pat dry with a tea towel to remove excess water.

Bring oil back up to 325 F and return plantains to pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a dish lined with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt, if desired. Serve immediately.

Optional:
Salt

This is how we do it down South... way... WAY down South

Jerk Snapper

Ingredients:

2 snapper filets

Garlic Salt

Pepper

2 limes

sliced onion

2 tablespoons olive oil

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

Grease a shallow baking pan with olive oil and add fillets. Season fillets with garlic salt, pepper and jerk seasoning to taste. Squeeze the juice of one of the limes over the filets and add rinds to the pan. Arrange sliced onion on top of fillets.

Bake for 7 minutes and remove from oven. Flip filets and re-season. Squeeze remaining lime over filets (naturally toss the rinds in) and return to oven. Cook for an additional 7 minutes and dig in!!

**variation

If you don't want so much lime juice, reduce recipe by half to one lime. Use half a lime for each side of the fish.

I usually serve this with a sliced up avocado with sliced onions and tossed with olive oil, vinegar, and pepper. YUM! Down here we call that AVOCATE (avo-kot-ay)!

Also, the more jerk seasoning you use, the spicier it will be. If that is simply not enough, add a few red pepper flakes. Go easy there on the red pepepr flakes there skippy or you are gonna set your butt on fire!! If you insist, "Tails of Fire" is a recipe I will post next time.

[Holychikin]

Ask and ye shall receive!! How does 15 minutes work for ya?!?!

Rattlesnake Pasta (Vegetarian and Meat versions)

2 Boxes of Linguine (Whole Wheat if you want to be healthy)

1 Green Pepper

1 Red Pepper

1 Green Onion

1 Large sized half and half (you can get the light kind if you want to make it healthier, but you might need more to thicken it up)

1 Chicken Breast or a bag of morningstar grilled seasoned chickn. 

1 Small cajun seasoning. Mccormick works well.

Step 1. Chop those veggies. Make sure the green onion is diced very fine. 

Step 2. Boil the water.

Step 3. Throw in the noodles and start cooking your meat/fake meat.

Step 4. Drain the noodles and bring the meat/fake meat down to a low simmer.

Step 5. Mix in the half and half sparingly. After a couple of minutes check the consistency. You want it to be thick enough to where it sticks to the noodles. 

Step 6. Mix in the veggies, meat/fake meat and add the seasoning in. Simply add more if you want it spicier. Let it simmer on low so it thickens and gets your veggies tender. 

Step 7. Salt, pepper and eat!

If you want to make it a little classier you can add yellow squash, mushrooms and zucchini to the mix. The above is a cheap and filling way to have a nice home cooked meal. 

[devilham007]

Hell...I'm hungry...bring it on.

[Holychikin]

There is something I make on weeknights that is similar.

1/2 box Pasta

2 Grilled Chicken Breasts (diced)

2 Zucchini

2 Yellow Squash

1 Red Bell Pepper

1/2 Red Onion

1/2 package fresh mushrooms (sliced)

3 Cloves Garlic (crushed)

7 oz. Pesto sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

Pinch of crushed red pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Dice all vegetables. Pre-heat a large saute' pan on medium-high heat for 2 - 3 minutes. Add oil, onions, garlic, and bell pepper: cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms; cook until squash is a bit softened. Add pesto, crushed red pepper and continue cooking until piping hot.

Toss pasta, chicken and pesto mixture together.

**you can omit the stuff you don't like... not a lot of people dig mushrooms

[Elle_Eccentric]

I don't measure anything for this so bare with me.

I do about 4 potatoes usually. Right out of the bag.
Peel em up rinse em. Then I boil them until there just getting tender.
Drain.
I let them sit for awhile to let the rest of the moisture out. Soggy potatoes are never yummy.

When they're perfect I grab a can of Evaporated milk, pepper, salt, butter.
I use about a half a can of that evaporated milk and just season to my liking.

Now with red taters I leave the skin in. Cook em up with same way but sprinkle in some garlic.
Mm

[crackymckrackin]

Thats how I make em too.

Banana Nut Bread

3 cups of flour

2 cups of splenda

1 tsp of salt

1 tsp of baking soda

1 tsp of cinnamon

3 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cup cooking oil

1 1/2 tsp of vanilla

1 8oz can crushed pineapple

1 cup of pecans

2 cups of banana

Combine dry ingredients; add eggs & cooking oil, stirring until ingredients are moistened. LOLMOIST

Do not beat, stir in vanilla, pineapple, pecans, and bananas.  Spoon batter itno small loaf pans (greased) bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes

I have another Banana Nut Bread recipe without the splenda and pineapple.  And instead of pecans I use walnuts.  But this ones pretty good. 

[Elle_Eccentric]

Awesome!
Everyone I know wants to use milk.
And it just doesn't have that... creamyness. Ya know? That special taste.

[crackymckrackin]

The cream makes it win.

[Elle_Eccentric]

And one more for tonight.  

Tomorrow I'll post the Pumpkin Bread one.  IT'S SO GOOD. 

Okay... diabetics should just leave now for this next one y'all. 

Elle's Apple Pie

This will take a double crust pastry.  If you don't want to make it pillsbury has some nice already ready dough. 

But I'll give you the pie crust recipe anyway cause I like ya.

2 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2/3 cup of shortening

6 to 7 tablespoons of cold water

In a mixing bowl stir together flour and salt. 

Cut in shortening till pieces are the size of small peas.  

(I usually gather up all everything around the bowl leaving an empty hole in the middle)

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water over part of mixture, gently toss with fork.   Push to the side of the bowl. 

Repeat  till all is moistened. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a ball. 

Then all you have to do is roll it out.  NOW FOR THE FILLING. 

Apple Pie Filling

6 cups of apples -sliced

1 cup of sugar

Tbsp of Cinnamon

2 Tbsp of flour

1/2 tsp of salt

Also I've made this mistake before with the apples.  Don't get them too fresh.  They'll cook down and make everything watery.  Make sure they've rippened. 

Transfer to a pastry -lined 9- inch pie plate. Cut slits in top crust. .  If you don't know how to pinch the dough I would go online and watch a video. 

Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 40 minutes.  Or until the crust is golden and you can see the filling bubbling up to meet ya. 

[Elle_Eccentric]

Amen brotha.
