mjp28 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 One of the many little tricks I've learned since I have had this GAMEDAY MEALS forum and a previous one on another board is to get information -and- find new recipes. Some of the better ones are from the established food shows, cookbooks and the suppliers themselves. They have their own test kitchens and put out good well tested complete recipes so I check out their links real quick especially recipes ! Contadina has a nice one on some simple but authentic Italian pizzas, looks like Dutch's homemade pizza.......check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a hint for cheese lovers, if you ever shop at BJ's (the only place I've seen it). They have bags of individually vacuum wrapped planks of fantastic sharp cheddar...it is called "Seriously Sharp" by Cabot. Not only is it a favorite of mine, but it's a favorite at my parties, in my snack cooler that I carry for the patients I transport, tailgates, fishing, etc. Mike I've loved Cabot's cheeses for many years. Not an accident they've been voted America's best cheddar a bunch of times. That seriously sharp is a starting point of their aged cheddars. It's one of their oddballs. It goes up to Vintage choice- 2 year, and then Old School- 4 year. To celebrate their 100 year anniversary they offered a real limited collection (now sold out) of 4 one pound blocks of different cheddars going up to a 5 year cheddar. I served the Cabot 18 month from that collection at our Super Bowl Party. Along with a soft frommager d'affinous double cream, and a stilton. If you can't find it in stores, go to their website- the Cabot co-op is now a part of Dakin Farms. I have no problems having it shipped to me when it's winter weather. I will warn you shipping costs make it pretty pricey cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still just no to my Alaska pal's alderwood smoked salmon though..... the next time to Alaska, I would love to try the smoked salmon. And, I've always wanted to try rattlesnake. Back in the day, at a pre-funeral get-together in WV, I tried to get my cousin to go with me up the mountain at night to hunt for a big rattler we could cook up for the big meal tomorrow. After being an advisor to S. Vietnamese troops in Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam.... I figured he'd go. He just said he'd been through a lot, faced serious danger a lot, been wounded twice....but wasn't going up the mountain at night to get a rattler, he said that would be too much for him. lol dammit.

Meet me in my hometown of Beaumont (Cajun for beautiful mountain-but there are none there in that swamp) and I'll treat you to a mess of crawfish tails and fried alligator. I'll bring you one of those "got here as soon as I could" Texas bumper stickers. There are lots of places in Beaumont that serve both because it is more Louisiana than it is Texas. So I'll grant you that much on your more Texan than you comments. I don't ride horses either. And you won't find me in one of these🤠 even though I inherited a nice Stetson from my dad.

You are way, way south down Houston way. There's no cell phone service that way, you would never want to break down, especially at night. Father-in-law is going on 98, ...we'd probably fly down anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the owners is Harris Pappas, a class of '66 A&M grad from my Corps outfit. You will find their locations here as well as menu.

TexasAg1969 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 3 hours ago, calfoxwc said: that is doable. Thanks ! It's one of our favorite places to go for seafood & cajun food in Austin. Harris and his siblings expanded their parents original Pappas Restaurant in Houston to become a statewide chain which is run very well. Funny that they were able to incorporate their family name into a cajun sounding restaurant, but the family is originally from Greece. PS-if you get the dinner be prepared to ask for boxes. You get a ton of food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially sunny days which have been few this winter. Deep winter generally just for convienance and a nice warm good smelling kitchen we do our casseroles, soups, stews, chili and the Sunday roast chicken and beef meals. And then of course are the GAMEDAY, tailgating and all that good stuff! Mmmmm, making me hungry ! Time to throw a good menu together.

mjp28 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Well my wife surprised me yesterday and made one of our GAMEDAY recipes the Contadina Meatball Subs by their recipe with a few slight modifications 1. She used the Contadina thick and zesty tomato sauce and 2. she used the 80/20 ground beef and not the lean beef. It came out good -but- to be honest I like my wife's 3 meat mix beef/veal/pork and a few slightly different spice combinations but here it is: CONTADINA MEATBALL SUBS, from the Contadina foods recipes. An easy and old time favorite recipe. https://www.contadina.com/recipes/collections/our-favorites/meatball-subs Serves 4 Prep time 10 minutes Cook time 35 mintues Ingredients 2 Tbsp. olive oil 3/4 cup minced onion, divided 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic, divided 1 1/4 tsp. dried oregano, divided 2 Tbsp. Contadina® Italian Herb Tomato Paste or Contadina® Tomato Paste 1 can (15 oz.) Contadina® Tomato Sauce 1 slice white sandwich bread, torn into very small pieces 1/4 cup milk 1 large egg, beaten 1 lb. lean ground beef 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh basil leaves 4 soft French sandwich rolls, split and toasted, if desired 4 slices mozzarella cheese Directions Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 tsp. garlic and 1/2 tsp. oregano; and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until softened. Add tomato paste and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until paste browns slightly. Stir in tomato sauce; cover and simmer on medium-low heat while preparing meatballs. Place bread, milk and egg in a large bowl; smash with a fork until bread is moistened and a paste forms. Mix in 1/2 cup onion, 1 tsp. garlic, 3/4 tsp. oregano, ground beef, Parmesan, salt and pepper just until combined. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (about 2 Tbsp. each) and drop into simmering sauce in a single layer. Do not stir. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring gently halfway through, until meatballs are cooked through and tender. Sprinkle with basil. Place a slice of mozzarella in each sandwich roll, then top with meatballs and serve with sauce for dipping, if desired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 We finished the Contadina Meatball Subs today for lunch they were even better after letting the flavors marry a bit. My wife did use the. 2 Tbsp. Contadina® Italian Herb Tomato Paste in her version, better flavor. It's quick and easy and good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Now this is one of my very favorite dishes for a GAMEDAY or any day meal and I found a quick and easy recipe for you for CRAB ALFREDO. I prefer crab to lobster but you can adapt it for either if you like. It would also be good with shrimp if you'd like it that way. Or you can go out to a fancy restaurant and see if it's any better at a fancy price. From one of our favorite recipe places Delish ! Red Lobster fans, you can thank us later. YIELDS:4 PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 25 MINS TOTAL TIME: 0 HOURS 25 MINS INGREDIENTS 12 oz. fettuccine or linguine 3 tbsp. butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 c. heavy cream 1 c. low-sodium chicken broth 1 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish 1 tbsp. Old Bay, plus more for sprinkling kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish 1 lb. lump crab meat Juice of 1/2 lemon DIRECTIONS In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and return to pot. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute, then add flour and stir until golden. Pour over heavy cream and chicken broth and simmer until thick, 3 minutes. Add Parmesan and let melt, 2 minutes. Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper.
