A good anytime meal STUFFED EGGPLANT PARM.

We're between winter and spring still a good time to use the oven......and you won't miss the pasta.

Well we had this this afternoon and it was DELICIOUS !  I would recommend it Sunday or anyway and make plenty, we had 3 eggplants for 6 halves for a meal today and leftovers for tomorrow which should be better.

SUGGESTIONS: Use a little or 2 garlic cloves of a little more if you want.  Make enough sauce for underneath the eggplants and on them. Use the basil garnish if you like -and- make plenty !

Wouldn't any of the recipes in the 56 pages of this thread go better with CBD oil?

BACON ASPARAGUS CRESCENTS ...... everything's better in bacon !

YIELDS:8     PREP TIME:        0 HOURS 20 MINS.   TOTAL TIME:      0 HOURS 55 MINS

 

INGREDIENTS

 

8 slices bacon

Flour, for rolling out dough

1 sheet crescent dough

1 small bunch (about 1/2 lb.) asparagus, woody ends removed

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Egg wash

1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan

5. Brush each square of puff pastry with egg wash. Place a slice of cooked bacon on top, followed by 3 to 4 stalks of asparagus and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Wrap bacon around asparagus and cheese, then wrap puff pastry around the bacon-asparagus bundle, overlapping the puff pastry ends to seal.
6. Brush each puff pastry with more egg wash. Bake until puff pastry is golden and puffed, about 12 minutes.

Glad you liked it.  We've recently tried many of the recipes I've put up on the board most with really good results.

We have a lot of time on our hands to check out new ideas -plus-. grilling season is just starting.

Lately I've been going through a lot of recipes always looking for some good new GAMEDAY or anyday meals or snacks.  One thing that I've occasionally run into is recipes with metric measurements so what to do? 

Easy I found a nice cooking recipe converter to do it for you, it converts anything to anything you need.   In my example below 200 grams = 7.05 ounces.

There's also measuring cups and cookbook tables you can use.

MEDITERRANEAN MOZZARELLA CHICKEN

Pretty quick and easy and delicious even without March Madness or MLB for now.

Adding the mozzarella cheese to this low carb dish may seem decadent – but it really does taste delicious and keeps you feeling full and satisfied.

Calories per serving: 375     Prep time: 5 minutes     Cook time: 35 minutes  Serves: 1 (per person) x desired guests

Ingredients    (metric measurements no problem use a measuring cup, cookbook table or food calculator like in link below)

1 tbsp olive oil

½ onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, thinly sliced

200 g tinned chopped tomatoes  (about 1 to 1 1/4 cup).  https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/cooking/cooking-calculator.php

Fresh basil, chopped roughly

150 mls vegetable stock*.      (about 2/3 cup or 5.3 oz)

125 g skinless chicken breast.   (about 1/4 lb+ of chicken)

30 g mozzarella cheese, sliced.   (about 1 oz.)

Method

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.   (about 375 degrees F)

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion softens. Add the chopped tomatoes, basil leaves and stock then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, lightly pound the chicken breast to increase the surface area and place the chicken in an oven-proof dish. Cover the chicken with the sauce from the pan and add slices of mozzarella to the dish, keeping them in a single layer. Transfer to the oven and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through (chicken should be white throughout) and the cheese is melted.

Today & tomorrow it's gonna be cubed round steak with potato and carrot soup. Feeding the masses at home. My wife keeps wanting me to take out the 24 lb frozen turkey and I tell her that turkey I can make last 10 days by slicing it all up after cooking and freezing individual meals which would include making turkey rice soup out of the "leftover" dark meat from the netherworld areas of the turkey. I told her to think of it as "The Last Thanksgiving" when we are down to the last bag of rice and the turkey🦃. After that the old .22 Henry lever action comes out with hard to even hear .22 shorts with a little tree climbing on a slanted tree just above the wild grass in the "outback" that the deer always come to eat. One well placed round from 15 ft above through the ole brainpan then it's fresh venison stew. Hopefully they will have their half grown Bambies with them by then so I don't have to kill off the breeders. After that I get cal's best squirrel recipes. They would be more of a challenge, but I have great spotter cats who always show me where they are and start their "stalking" as pointers.🐾🐈😁

[calfoxwc]

ever make creamed turkey over toast? I don't think I mentioned it here - but it's great. Some add other spices, like sage....

some add peas. Helps make a whole meal out of leftover pieces of turkey. I use 4 peppercorn fresh ground pepper....

Thanks cal. Can you do that with squirrel too? 

Seriously I may just try that instead of my usual turkey rice soup that I make with the leftover dark meat I get out of every little nook & cranny. 👍

Here's a good tuna recipe that my brother calls the family "tuna blop".

All you need is a large can of tuna drained of water or oil all taken apart with a fork and add that to plain ole mushroom soup to consistency of your choice and heat up decently on the stove.

Cook some rice with salted water and place one cup of the rice on a paper plate (or china plate if you want it more formal) for each person. Take about 3/4 cup of the tuna concoction and blop it right down on the center of the rice and mix it all together. Voila! Tuna Blop! All comes from cans and a sack of rice. No virus enclosed.😁

[calfoxwc]

works with squirrel great. greatly. ...really well....

our tuna glod is the deluxe macaroni, cook it up, mix the cheese packet with

a can of tuna fish or two...(we prefer water) and a can of mushroom soup.

Back in my AF days eating on the cheap, I added frozen peas. Wife doesn't like em,

so I never did it again.

   Also, awesome over bisquits. However, I was always trying to do the perfect bisquits and could get it.

Then, my Wife ordered me some soft white flour - "White Lilly" is the brand name.

Oh, my - the recipe on the bag - best bisquits in the whole world.

That's homemade. We like the southern buttermilk grand style you buy in the stores, too.

Nice cal, sounds a lot like turkey pot pie one of my wife's homemade recipes.  She also makes a really good seafood pot pie.....sounds strange but tastes good.

No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Lasagna

Just a quick switch from easy and delicious meals to desserts.  One of my wife's favorites blueberry !

While we love cheesecake, we're not always down to put in a ton of time and effort. This no-bake lasagna is the perfect solution for when the craving strikes.  The hardest part ?   Waiting the 4 hours for it to chill in the fridge. 

Yields 10

INGREDIENTS

FOR BLUEBERRY LAYER:

3 c. blueberries
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon

FOR CRUST:

Cooking spray
2 c. crushed graham crackers (from 1 sleeve)
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
6 tbsp. melted butter

FOR CHEESECAKE LAYER:

1 c. heavy cream
3 (8-0z.) blocks cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. Greek yogurt
1 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon
Pinch of kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick and jammy and blueberries have burst, 10 minutes. Let cool completely. 

Make crust: Grease a 9”-x-13” baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press mixture into prepared pan in an even layer. 

Make cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. In another large bowl, beat cream cheese and yogurt together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until no lumps remain. Add vanilla, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of salt. Fold in whipped cream. 

Spread cheesecake mixture over crust, then pour cooled blueberry sauce over cheesecake. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
