Quarter them, braise them in butter for a while (I don't know the exact method but this is basically how my mom prepared brussels sprouts and they were fantastic)

Idk, but now I seriously want one. Maybe you layer different flavors? Mmm cool ranch Doritos are my fav.

Or maybe you make a cake from small bags of chips? Like those diaper "cakes" at baby showers.

I wonder if you are right with that last one. It nauseates me. Will report back tomorrow with the results!

Posting this here because Bea asked about it. One of my favorite recipes.

Baked Tilapia with Cilantro Cream Sauce


The Fish:
1.5 lbs tilapia fillets (I generally use one fillet per person)
1 Tbsp melted butter
salt & pepper

Heat oven to 375. Line a baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Brush fillets lightly with butter and sprinkle salt & pepper. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

The Sauce:
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp lime juice
salt & pepper to taste

Heat oil in small saucepan over medium heat, saute garlic & onion 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream, bring to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, salt & pepper and simmer for an additional minute.


IMO this is best over high-quality fettucine and sauteed asparagus, so I have these cooking as well while the fish is baking.

LA - thank you so much! I know you've posted it before. I hope I can remember to snag it this time. It always sounds so good when I read it. Maybe someday in the next6 months I might have a day to actually make it!

LEGGGGGGYYYYYYY!!!!!! *squee* :hug: :hugs: :hug: :hugs:

So glad you found the foodie thread. I made in honor of BR's Kitchen thread on Rev because BR wasn't with us yet. Can't wait to see what you have!

I've not cooked anything really since I took over my store. :( I miss cooking.

That said, BDH has stepped up and made some AWESOME things the past couple weeks. He did Easter dinner this year and he even laid claim to one of the turkey's so he can learn to do it too! Once he can make lassagna, I fear he might divorce me as my usefulness in our marriage will have evaporated more than milk.:sigh:

SVS - it's less expensive too - especially if you tend to over indulge in the hummus. Diggz makes sundried tomato hummus and pesto hummus that I could quite literally eat by the pounds. :)

I'm making pasta with sauteed chicken, red, orange, yellow and green peppers, portabella mushrooms, tomatoes and artichoke hearts tossed in a butter white wine sauce tonight.

First night I've gotten to cook "for real." in a month and a half.

Here is a piece of the cake I made for my birthday. I made it according to a recipe Mongoose sent me. For simplicity's sake, I used store bought brownie mix, but I did make the whipped cream myself.

I'll share this lovely and super-simple dinner I made last week -- tried the baked-egg-in-avocado thing (one of the yolks spilled but it was still good) and also baked a tilapia fillet and some cherry tomatoes all together, and sprinkled some delicious fajita seasoning on it all

Also, boyfriend & I made cheese fondue (with bread, apples/pears, & broccoli/cauliflower) last night and shared it with some friends in the dorm. Fun thing to do every once in a while, though it takes like $20-$30 worth of cheese -- good thing I had a $50 Trader Joe's gift card from his mom :p Now I also have a bottle of sherry, having some now for dessert (along with those amazing meringues) :p

Tonight, I had lamb loin chops with a cauliflower puree.

Eloh doesn't like lamb, so for her, a New York strip steak.

The kids shared a marked down flat iron steak. They are little heathens that have no culinary standards anyway. :meany:

That was last meal worthy. I feel like I could sit in the electric chair now.

I made my first low country boil.

For those unaccustomed, it's the height of southern seafood cuisine, in which the operative thinking process was, "Well, shit, jest put it all in a pot a water and boil the mess outta it."

Snow crab, shrimp, scallops, potatoes, onion, okra, and artichoke, all in a bubbly festival of garlic, bay leaves, and Old Bay seasoning.

I'm so stuffed I might fall over right now. :nicenod:

That is FASCINATING, as that is not my southern low country boil. Mine is potatoes, onion, crab, clams, sausage, shrimp and corn on the cob. The prep is the same though.

Today I made my first Shrimp Ceviche.

Or, I told Eloh what I wanted in it and made her do all the chopping since she complained about being bored. :noble:

I refrained from using any tomatoes at all and we're eating it on saltines. So fresh and divine.

For the main course, chicken fajitas. :mafia:

ok I was talking about my favorite breakfast recipe on discord and [mention]dunya[/mention] wanted to try it so here's the details of the most amazing breakfast dish in the world

backstory: when I was in college this amazing Mexican woman named Amparo ran a breakfast station at the dining hall where she made several delicious Mexican breakfast dishes (and you could watch her cook in front of you with her mad skillz) and this one, called "Amparo's Special," was one of my favorites. I miss her food but I figured out how to approximate it at home.

you need (for one person-- adjust as necessary for servings):
2 eggs
potatoes -- I use either ~2 medium Yukon Gold or a handful/~7 small fingerling/dutch baby gold
baby spinach -- uhh idk like 3-4 oz? whatever a good serving is? I don't pay attention to amounts
1 small shallot
cooking oil
salt
black pepper
salsa -- I usually use tomatillo/verde, in the original Amparo had her own thin-ish red salsa that she made
sour cream
cotija cheese

ok so first I always microwave the potatoes to start them cooking/softening up a little, so I poke holes in them with a fork and microwave them with a little bit of water for 1.5 - 2 minutes, and meanwhile dice the shallot
Then slice the potatoes into bite-size chunks, heat some oil in a pan and throw in the shallot and potato. Saute them for a couple minutes and then I usually throw in a few tablespoons of water and cover the pan to let it kinda steam in there.
Meanwhile start heating water in a small pot (to sorta boiling or just under) to poach the eggs. I've always heard that you're supposed to add a little bit of vinegar to the poaching water so I do that too. Break the eggs into a ramekin.
When the potatoes are just about done, add the spinach and stir until it's completely cooked. Oh and definitely add some salt at some point, I usually add it with the spinach.
After putting the spinach in pour the eggs into the poaching water (they cook really quick and you don't want to overdo the yolks, and I like to have the potato-spinach mixture ready on the plate to put the eggs on top so I wait until it's about done). Put the potato-spinach mixture on a plate and after about 2 minutes of poaching carefully spoon the eggs out.
Top with a couple tablespoons of the salsa, a nice dollop of sour cream, some lovely crumbles of cotija, and a healthy dose of freshly ground black pepper. Mix up all those delicious flavors and glimpse heaven
