I love fish in the summer....this is a Halibut Filet I made for some clients who love fish....it is simple, clean and light:

Saw this on Yahoo! and had to share: http://food.yahoo.com/recipes/eatingwell/309/swirled-cheesecake-brownies

I'm a Chef and I love taking pics of the food I make, when I have time....this lamb was SO easy....I oiled it really well on both sides with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and used Herbes de Provence all over and a bit of salt and fresh ground pepper.
THE NEW THEME IS:
a recipe that includes the use of Italian dressing (or mix).
Deadline: April 17th

I was busy today but I wanted to cook as well so I did a bit of this and that
I am a co-mod for another cooking community and I decided to put a food trivia quiz up over there, so I thought you guys might enjoy it as well.
I found these trivia questions here. I'll post questions and choices in this post. Comment below with your answers, and I will post the correct answers in a few days.

I was wondering if everything was ok?
I really miss posts and this community. Are we going to have another theme?
Just wanting to know.
Thanks :)

I catered a dinner party for 15 people yesterday....food was divine, weather was perfect....

I really do enjoy the themes. I don't always get around to using the theme ingredient during the contest period. So I had a thought, and this is just a thought to throw out there. Maybe when we pick the theme, we can look not only at ingredients, but also at ways to cook? Like the theme could be stir fry or sauteed or pastry or something along that lines? I often say that I'm going to do the theme, but then I never get a chance to use the ingredient during the time period specified. I do, however, cook in many different styles all of the time. Thought I'd toss that out.

I wanted to make a nice family dinner tonight so I made a pork roast, anna potatoes, and green beans

The other day we had homemade taco salads for dinner - even the tortilla bowls were homemade, but it was still an unbelievably easy meal. It was also really quite healthy since we used baked low carb, low fat whole wheat tortillas instead of fried corn ones, really lean beef, and tons of veggies.


I do not have pictures but I am posting my favorite chicken recipe.
I made a chicken tortilla casserole the other night. It came out great! I was a bit surprised considering it had a lot salsa in it. Its pretty fattening so make it for a special occasion unless you arent watching your weight.
I'm going to put the recipe & pictures behind the cut.
( yum yum!Collapse )
Wow, so its me again huh?
For the sake of making this whole thing more appealing to people, I'm gonna choose a really common but really versatile ingredient: CHICKEN. I don't think there are any vegetarians in here (not that I remember, anyway) so I know just about everyone here cooks with it in one way or another, and does so fairly often. Its one of those things that can be prepared with almost any method to fit into almost any food ethnicity or flavor combination, and I dunno about you but I know I have some favorite, go-to chicken recipes that I can always fall back on when I have no other ideas.
So, share some of YOUR favorites! Have a standby stir fry? A perfect roaster? Maybe some sweet, smokey barbecue? How about Indian or Italian? Do you like it fried or sauteed? Roasted or broiled? Got a favorite marinade? How about a salad or pasta dish? Anything goes!
I'm giving y'all about a week and a half - the new deadline is Monday February 19th. C'mon folks, show me what you can do! :)

It was 79 degrees in Scottsdale today and I hauled out the old grill to get it ready for the spring/summer....lucky for me, I live in Arizona...and the weather is gorgeous....meaning lots of time to practice on my grilling technique. People rave about my ribs....I feel the trick is in baking them for at least an hour (on 350):
