Seems this thread is not popular. I will still post every now and then. This is a Red Snapper. Usually I would bake it. However, I have a bad cold. So I thought it best to pouch it for the broth health benefits. I added garlic, leeks, tomatoes, Adobo seasoning, Italian seasoning, and some Finlandia butter. Click the image.

Hello Refractordude. I haven't abandoned you, but very busy this last week. We made this lemon-butter chicken the other night. I didn't think to take pictures fresh off the stove. However, here is a shot of the left overs tonight:
Chicken Broccoli.JPG
This is not my recipe, but from the Pinworthy Recipes Magazine:
Lemon Butter Chicken.jpg
The first time we made it, we served it on a bed of rice as per the recipe. But Sheri got a beautiful fresh head of broccoli from Aldi's, so we went with that last night.
I hope that all of you may enjoy this and the best of regards

I made a pork shoulder in the slow cooker last night. (Sis was over for dinner)

Tonight is going to be fried rice (pork)
ingredients being:

1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup sweet peas
8 mushrooms, sliced
6 oz can of water chestnuts, diced
3 TBSP peanut oil
1 TBSP sesame oil
3 TBSP shredded ginger
2 cups pork, shredded
3 eggs, scrambled and diced
1 bunch scallions
4.5 cups cooked rice
pinch of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

So I've already shredded the carrot (and didn't cut my hand)

Should appear like this when prepared. Still one hour til cooking time.

Just came in from work about 45 minutes ago. Thought I make some fish soup with two pounds of fish, some veggies starting to go bad, and fresh mushrooms. I also added Finlandia butter and mucho garlic.

Stewed some chicken with garlic and a ton of Italian seasonings. Maybe all those herbs will help with my cold, which is about 90 percent gone. I skimmed all the fat out the pot, and drunk the broth. It was a good meal with the basmati rice and cabbage.

Last night was a copy cat recipe I got from food.com, Panera cream cheese potato soup (sort of). As a non-cook I found it super easy with only three ingredients plus the seasoning. Note to self; do not just eyeball the red pepper, use the measuring spoons. That's what we got them for. :oops:

Really interesting, and a lot safer than oil.

Hi Smitty. It's not the oil that I am afraid of, it's the waste of oil. The flash fryers cook at a high heat, and the food cooks fast, so very little oil is absorbed into the food. But, even with my 2 quart deep fryer, we had to have a big group over, and had both baskets going with jaleno poppers, stuffed mushrooms, chicken, shrimp and you name it. The used oil doesn't keep well, and becomes rancid in a short while. I had thought about a turkey fryer, but now I am looking at 1 to 2 gallons of used cooking oil to store. Unless you cooking regularly for a scout group, church group, or club group, it isn't very economical. However, I am really intrigued by the oil-less unit that you used. And, I must say that turkey looks juicy, tender, and delicious. Thanks for the great photos Smitty, and have a Happy New Year.

You would love an oil-less cooker! I've owned mine for almost 10 years now. Cleanup is a breeze in that after you remove your food item(s) you put the cover back on and let it run for 10/15 minutes more and then shut it off. If you choose the stainless steel insert slides right out of the top for a hot soapy water scrubbing. The basket sprayed with Pam or what have you comes clean pretty easily though cleaning any cooking basket is what it is. There is a slide-out pan in the bottom to capture the fat and it also comes with a foil liner for the pan that replacements can be purchased for after several uses. I have also prepared Cornish game hens, (Basket inserts can be ordered to keep meats separated) whole chickens, chicken wings and rolled & stuffed pork loins in it which turn out fantastic. :chef:

Roasted supermarket chicken. To make it a somewhat healthy meal, I had two pears for desert.

Hi Refractordude. Looks like some tasty dishes there. Here is a recipe for our Gametime Meatball Soup which takes a lot of time. I use an electric stockpot to finish this, and then I can turn the temperature down to keep warm before serving. This is great when you have folks over on a weekend to watch a sports game (Super Bowl) on TV, hence the name.

My brother and his wife made this and loved it, but he called it stoup, because it is a cross between a soup and a stew. :lol:
I hope that you enjoy this Refractordude and all

Corned beef and cabbage last night. Actually baked the corned beef for 4.5 hours at 270 degrees, when finished it was easily cut into tender slices. If one boils corned beef on the the stove it can come out rubbery. Added cabbage for the last 30 minutes and the potatoes which were boiled separately. A little bit of horseradish and it was delicious. I forgot to take a pic.

Hi Refractordude and all. Here is a version of the Beef Stroganoff. We didn't follow the classic recipes, as we were using a leftover bone in rib eye steak from the charcoal grill and baby portobello mushrooms from the day before. My wife boiled some egg noodles with a splash of olive oil and I heated up some brown gravy mix. I added the cut steak pieces and mushrooms to the gravy. She drained the noodles, and then we plated up.

This isn't the first time that we have made a new meal from leftovers. :eek:
I hope that you enjoy this, and the best of regards.
