mjp28 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 And here is the carb friendly option, let me know if any of you try either of these recipes and how they came out. CAJUN BUTTER STEAK YIELDS:6 - 8 SERVINGS PREP TIME:0 HOURS 15 MINS TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 40 MINS INGREDIENTS 1/2 c. low-sodium soy sauce 1/3 c. extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 c. lightly packed brown sugar 1/4 c. bourbon 2 tbsp. whole-grain mustard 2 tsp. cajun seasoning 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves 2 lb. tri-tip steak (or a very thick cut of sirloin) 2 tbsp. butter, cut into tabs Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish (optional) DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, bourbon, mustard, Cajun seasoning, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Pour out about ⅓ of mixture to use for glaze later. Toss steak in mixture and let marinate for 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours. (If marinating for more than 20 minutes, cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.) Heat grill or grill pan to high. Remove steak from marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on bottom, about 10 minutes. Flip steak, then lower grill to medium-high and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes. (A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should register around 130°.) Remove from grill and let rest on cutting board before slicing against the grain. Meanwhile, make glaze: Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until mixture has thickened slightly. Whisk in butter until melted. Remove from heat Brush glaze over steak and garnish with parsley, if using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 LOL! Like I said elsewhere, it's contrarian week. Yum!😜 Spam for the Summer Sheldon Simeon Instead of a bowl of hot ramen, Top Chef alum Sheldon Simeon says that in Hawaii, the locals prefer to fry ramen-like saimin noodles with a ton of garlic when temperatures rise. Simeon himself starts by boiling off the noodles, then frying them in garlic oil and finishing with fried garlic and garlic chives. His topper is usually Spam, chopped and then crisped up. "We don't always have roast pork or pork belly laying around. [Spam] is the go-to protein when you don't have anything else available," he says. "The saltiness of Spam works so well with the garlic noodles." Find the recipe here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Yeah the D'UH moment of the day what was he thinking? .......Per the Miami Herald, a roving beer vendor named Nathaniel Collier swiped the fan’s card using a personal card reader instead of the one provided by the stadium to the vendors and put an extra $700 on the bill. Fortunately for the fan, he received a notification from his bank and got his money back. As for Collier, he was fired and arrested on charges of grand theft and using a skimming device........ (Did he think he'd get away with it?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of life's small but great GAMEDAY moments having a hot dog with Cleveland's own Stadium Mustard and a cold beer watching a game! Ahhhhhh.

TexasAg1969 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Tonight I'm making homemade (well kinda-there is a box) beer bread using Shiner Bock as the beer in the batter. Got some leftover Red Rhone wine to go with it. I keep that with the air sucked out so it lasts a few days before going bad. Decent red wine has a tendency to become decent red vinegar if exposed to air too long. Don't need any more vinegar and oil salad dressing.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I found this old but great recipe you might want to try for a Sunday or anyday GAMEDAY meal. We've tried and liked it! WILD MUSHROOM PASTA........IT WAS GOOD!Saw this on TV AmericasHeartland.org Episode #908 on PBS. Looked so good, haven't tried it yet (we did after writing this) but I love mushroom recipes I had it copied so I figured I'd share it with y'all, enjoy!http://www.americasheartland.org/episodes/episode_908/farm_to_fork.htmWild Mushroom Pasta Recipe . (NOTE: if you go to the link you will see my review of this recipe 6 years ago with our suggestions.)Ingredients:1/2 lb your favorite pasta, pappardelle is a good choice (we used a less wide pasta and it came out better)1 tbsp butter2 tbsp olive oil1 lb mixed mushrooms (like oyster, button, porcini and we like baby bellas)1 leek, washed and sliced2 shallots, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced2 sprigs thyme, chopped4 tbsp tarragon, chopped (optional)2 tbsp flour1 cup chicken stock (or veggie stock)4 oz Fontina cheese4 oz Parmesan cheese1.

mjp28 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Another good but very simple dish I remember and really enjoyed, from Mr Food in 2014. Reminds me of something my Grandmother would cook, quick and easy from Mr. Food 06/05/14:STEAMING TATERS 'N' BEANS SERVES 6 COOK TIME 45 Min READY IN 45 Min Sometimes simple is best...like here we've got fresh green beans and red potatoes boiled up with a little salt pork. Steamin' Taters 'n' Beans is a Southern classic that combines great flavorwith ease -- our favorite combo! What You'll Need: 1 (2-ounce) piece salt pork, (see note) 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 12 small red potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut in half 2 teaspoons salt (OPTIONAL ADD: Enjoy With Creamy & Indulgent Carbonara Sauce *SEE LINK BELOW) What To Do: In a large pot, combine salt pork, green beans, and pepper with enough water to cover. Place potatoes on top and sprinkle with salt. Cover loosely and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes and beans are tender. Serve in bowls with broth. Notes Three slices of raw bacon will work just as well as salt pork. In the South, they call the broth "pot liquor" and serve it with plenty of cornbread for dunking. Here's one of our yummy cornbread recipes for you to try! *Read more at http://www.mrfood.com/Potatoes-Rice/Steamin-Taters-n-Beans-782#rYYhKQCmAjz254hE.99 Last edited: Jun 5, 2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 With fall finally here and winter not far away here is a delicious and hearty meal suitable for a Sunday before or after a BROWNS GAMEDAY. It's worth the prep and cook time! From 2012....... CHEESE WITH VEGGIE SOUPTotal Time: 1 hr 5 min. Prep about 20 min. Cook time about 45 min.Serves about 4Ingredients2 tablespoons unsalted butter5 ounces small diced onion (approximately 1 cup)5 ounces small diced carrot (approximately 1 cup)5 ounces small diced celery (approximately 1 cup)......if you like celery, I also like broccoli1/2 teaspoon salt for sweating vegetables, plus more if needed at end of cooking3 tablespoons all-purpose flour1 quart chicken broth, heated to a simmer1 tablespoon minced garlic1 bay leaf1 cup heavy cream10 ounces Fontina, shredded.....optional cheeses, cheddar, sharp cheddar or your favorite might work1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce1 teaspoon Marsala wine.....or a good red wine, sweet or dry is up to you1/2 teaspoon hot sauce.....optional1/2 teaspoon white pepperDirectionsMelt butter in large heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and salt. Sweat for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Sift the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.Gradually add the chicken stock and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.Remove bay leaf. Turn off the heat, add the heavy cream, and then puree with an immersion blender or in a conventional blender*. Gradually add the cheese, 1 small handful at a time, and stir until melted before adding next handful. Stir in the Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and white pepper. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If soup is not hot enough, return to a low heat until warmed through.*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth. NOTE: The above cheese and veggie soup recipe is a variation of Alton Brown's who has the show GOOD EATS, he's both good and entertaining, love his stuff....but I generally put my own touches on whatever I do. ALSO if you click on the recipe link you will get a bunch of other fall meals and desserts.http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/index.htmlI will also dig up a few of my own family cheese recipes....later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfooldoug Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Love the bread machine. Orange cranberry pecan brioche sliced, dipped in egg and milk and slapped on a hot griddle.

With your health issues, have you ever looked into eating some raw bee pollen? Or raw honey? Buckwheat is best but they’re all good. The pollen has a lot of enzymes that are good for you, B vitamins too.... go figure. Like Murray used to say every Friday.... “be happy, eat your honey” the only drawback is if you have bee allergies.. then probably best to stay away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on a regular diet here and eat a high protein diet of eggs, cheese, chicken, fish, meat plus all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Believe it or not because of the big time antibiotics, vancomycin in my case now, they want me to eat and put a few more pounds on...... some problem eh? BUT it's still not exactly GAMEDAY foods, I can't order up a ribeye steak medium hot off the grill and their small cheese pizzas suck not exactly Wedgewood pizza.......but I can have some meals brought in.

I always think if the old Elvis song, "You're the devil 😈 in disguise 😇." I had PT on a huge multiple hit racquetball bruise on the back of my calf with big knots of blood in it. PT consisted of not just easy ultrasound, but use of a steel roller and deep penetrating fingers to work it out every day for about 3 weeks. I can't imagine what they are doing to you.👹 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digestive and circulation aid big time. I told my Dr about it and he was pretty pleased.
