Power Cookies
Mix this combination of dry ingredients:

1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour or Rye Flour
1/2 Cup Oats
1/2 Cup Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
1/4 cup ground flax seed
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 tsp salt

Mix the following in a seperate bowl:

1 egg
1/2 cup soy milk
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract (or 2 if you get the el cheapo stuff)

Add the fluid combination to dry bowl, and mix. (if it is too dry and way too hard to mix, you can soften it up by adding more soy milk as needed)

Then add the following and mix it all in well:

2 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup dry-roast peanuts (crushed if you'd like)
1/2 cup mix nuts crushed up (soy nuts, crushed walnuts, sliced almonds crushed up etc)
1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, currants, dates)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

bake in blobs cookie size @ 350 for 10 minutes.

Then remove, and let cool, and freeze for eating whenever you need! They're great frozen (and to a slightly lesser degree thawed)
Lots of long lasting energy - and they're very very good for you!

This way of making home made alfredo for fettuccini is not the normal way, but I find its makes better alfredo than some restaurants:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspon Table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
9 ounces fresh fettuccine
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese , grated (about 3/4 cup)
1/8 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg (optional)

1. Bring water to boil, throw in pasta when boiling. Cook pasta just shy of all dente, and reserve a 1/4 cup of water before draining.

2. While the water comes to boil, in another saucepan, take 1 cup of cream, the butter, and bring to simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, until it reduced to about 2/3 cup.

3. Off heat, add the 1/2 cup of cream, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Return the cream mixture to a simmer over medium high heat, then reduce to low heat.

4) Add in pasta, cheese and nutmeg to the cream mixture. Cook over the low heat, tossing the pasta to combine and coat the pasta. Cook until the cheese is melted and the pasta is all dente, approx. 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the reserved 1/4 cup of pasta water. The sauce will look really thin, keep it on the low heat until it thickens, tossing the pasta so it doesnt burn.

5) Serve into WARM serving bowls, then serve immediately. If you put the pasta in to cold bowls, the sauce will congeal and not keep creamy.

I find that this fettuccini does not reheat well (the sauce congeals) so I always just make enough for company. Enjoy

[THE KILLER RABBIT]

zach's cajun chicken comes out as a sweet and spicy cajun dish serving 1 hungry man

total cook time 30-40 minutes

ingrediants
7-9 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cloves fresh garlic
1/4 of a fresh red bell pepper
1/8 of a medium sized fresh onion
black pepper
bourbon chicken sauce
tobasco sauce
1 cup rice

start with the rice. make it as usual, bringing rice to a boil and then puttin on low for 20 minutes.

take thawed chicken and dice up into bite sized pieces,

throw into a mixing bowl.

as for the onion and the bell pepper you just have to eye ball it out, you dnt want to over power the main dish, if it were to be measued out i would say it would end up being about 2-3 table spoons of WELL minced onion, and onther 2-3 table spoons of WELL minced pepper. also finley mince two cloves of garlic.

add to mixing bowl

add tabasco sauce to taste, i add about 1-2 teaspoons spoons.
add groud black pepper. to taste

now here is the tricky part the bourbon sauce. add about 1/4 cup. depending on the thickness of your sauce you want to end up with the sauce covering all the chicken AND have a decent sized amount still left in the bottom for the chicken to actual cook in.

mix up throughly

preheat skilet to med high and cook mixing regularly for about 6-7 minutes after that turn heat down to med and let it reduce for another 3-4 minutes.

check chicken to make sure its cooked through, if it is throw rice on a large plate and serve chicken ontop.

serve with your favorite beer!

let me know if you endup using my personal recipe and what changes you made. once again eyeballing is key to this.

[geofftii2002]

Here's one from last night. Can be pretty flexible and you can use chicken or shrimp... whatever you like. Most of my measurements are eyeballs since I made this on the fly last night... but you'll get the picture. It's really good if you love basil like I do, and it has a great bite from the garlic and the pepper flakes. Hope you like it!

I call it "So good I had to write it down Chicken":

2 Chicken breasts skinless and boneless

1/4C Extra virgin olive oil

1 Handfull of FRESH basil

2 cloves of garlic

1/2t red pepper flakes (a few shakes to suit your taste)

1/2t oregano (a few dashes)

Salt & pepper

Cooked pasta, pref. Linguine or Fettuccine. I suppose angel hair would be good too. Enough for two servings.

Lightly salt your pasta water and cook according to the type you have.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add enough of the olive oil to coat the pan. Salt and pepper chicken breasts and sautee until nicely browned in oil. Approx 10 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, finely chop garlic and chop fresh basil coarsely.

When chicken is done, remove pan from heat (allow it to cool slightly) and place chicken aside. Return pan to low heat, add garlic and remaining olive oil. Sweat garlic enough to infuse oil. Add red pepper flakes and oregano.

Drain pasta (don't rinse it!) and put in bowl or serving platter. Sprinkle chopped basil liberally over the top. Drizzle hot oil and garlic mixture over the top, add sliced up chicken breasts and toss- allowing basil to wilt slightly. Serve with freshly grated romano or parmagiano cheese and a good Pino Grigio.

Enjoy!

StrawBan Smoothie Turbo

1 Banana -Use one at the peak of its ripeness. This is where its covered in black spots. If its not, it will taste blander and bit sour.

About 6 Frozen Strawberrys - Use frozen ones only as they are flash frozen at their ripest. Fresh ones may or may not be ripe enough and can make it sour. Also frozen ones act like ice but without watering down the smoothie like ice cubes would.

About 1/2 cup of water - Use spring water as tap water may have a high metal content and your smoothie could take on a metallic taste.

About a 1/2 cup of Apple Juice - Motts Natural preferred.

1 Tablespoon Vanilla Yogurt - Danon Natural Vanilla preferred. Nothing with sugar substitutes like Aspartame since they give off an aftertaste. Hey if ya gonna enjoy a smoothie a bit more sugar ain't gonna kill ya.

You don't need to but I also add half scoop of Jay Robb Vanilla whey protein powder which is healthy and really helps give it real creamy milkshake like texture.

Now just blend in blender until smooth. Depending on the size of the banana and strawberrys, consistency may vary. You may also want to add a bit more or less of the water or apple juice to produce the right consistency. I like mine almost like a Wendys Frosty but a bit looser so I can still drink it out of the glass rather than having to use a spoon. Just try it different ways until you find out what works for ya.

It should make between 16 and 20oz based on the recipe but it will vary.

for the season: Apple Cider Pork Chops Ingredients: 3 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 boneless pork loin chops 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1 cup apple cider 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 teaspoon lemon zest 2 medium tart apples--peeled and sliced Directions: In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the flour, half the pepper, and the salt. One at a time add the pork chops and shake to coat. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Saute the pork until lightly browned, one to two minutes on each side. Reduce the heat and add the cider. Simmer, covered, until the pork is cooked through and tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter and keep warm. Add the vinegar, apple slices, and lemon zest to the pan juices and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with the remaining pepper and spoon the sauce and apple slices over the pork before serving.

Just made these this weekend. They were excellent. Would be also good with some cinnemon on the apples. Thanks for the recipe.

Grape Jelly Meatballs (yum yum!!)

Meatballs (your standard meatball recipe)

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
1/3 cup onion -- minced
1/4 cup milk
1 egg -- beaten
1 tablespoon fresh parsley -- minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Crisco vegetable shortening -- to brown meatballs (I dont' use it)

Combine the first 9 ingredients, mixing well. Shape into 3/4" to 1" meatballs. Cook in medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until browned (you'll see). Cool meatballs by draining on paper towels. Discard grease.

Sauce (the good part)

1 12oz bottle chili sauce
1 10oz jar grape jelly (I use less, and add later as needed)
Meatballs

Sauce Directions

Combine chili sauce and grape jelly in a medium saucepan; stir well until jelly is compeletly melted. Add meatballs and simmer UNCOVERED on low for 30 minutes (to thicken the sauce), stirring occasionally (you may simmer longer, it softens the meatballs and distributes flavour).
Serve hot meatballs with toothpicks. Keep warm in crock pot or electric warmer.

Makes about 4 to 5 dozen meatballs, depending on size.

I didn't want to type this out so cut and pasted it from the net and edited with my comments but it's really good and too easy to make. The only way to screw it up is to use too much grape jelly in the sauce.

Eat until you're sick of sweet and sour meat (or share with guests)

[tobin_bass]

Beef and Potatoes of Awesomeness

this is my variation of the famous Japanese mom dish.

1 lb. potatoes, cut into large cubes or slices
1/3 lb. beef, thinly sliced
2/3 lb. yellow onions, sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used sesame oil mmm!)
1 cup water
3 tablespoons or more soy sauce (to taste)
3 tablespoons or more brown sugar (to taste)
2 tablespoons sake or white wine
Cooking time: 40 minutes

Prepare vegetables as described above. Heat a deep pan and add oil and beef. Saute for a couple of minutes, then add onion and potato. Continue sauteing for 3 minutes. Add water, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sake or wine. Bring to a simmer half covered. Skim off any foam and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes until potatoes are done.

I want the dish dry so I only put in 1 cup of water. If you want some stew like consistency then just add 1/2 cup more water.

Servings: 4

Enjoy!

[n0rdicalex]

this is my first time ever making something from "scratch" for a meal. its rather simple, so amounts, cook times, ingrediants, etc, are negotiable.

i was drunk on spring break and thought of this:

Taco Pasta

1 lb box of Linguini noodles
1 lb 96% lean ground beef
1 jalapeno
1 packet taco seasoning
1 jar Pace Picante Medium
1 bottle Pace Taco sauce
1 bag Kraft Mexican shredded cheese
1 bag lettuce

start by browing the beef in a pan with some sliced onions. once the meat is browned, add the taco seasoning(dump the seasoning in then fill the packet with water and dump that in) and jalapeno(diced). let that cook until most of the juice is cooked away. in the meantime, start boiling water for the noodles. once brought to a boil, toss as many noodles in for the serving(i did about half the box - ate most for dinner, but had some leftover). let them boil to your preferred tenderness. back to the meat. after most of the juice in the meat has cooked away, add the 1 jar Pace Picante Medium to the meat and about a 1/4-1/2 of the Pace Tace sauce. mix that all together. plate the noodles and dump on desired amount of meat sauce. add Kraft Mexican shredded cheese to the top and shredded lettuce to the top(i cut the lettuce into small shreds before).

of course fresh ingrediants would have been better, but i got off work early and thought i would try this out tonight. also, some tips to make it better would be great. for instance, later i thought maybe instead of Linguini noodles, perhaps bow-tie noodles would have been better. i also think fresh cilantro would have been good, but alas, i had none. either way, im open for idears to make it better/healthier/fresher, whatever. really, not too bad of a dinner for a drunk idea. oh yeah, i ate this with a glass of milk, but im sure a nice cold corona(or other mexican beer) would be good too.

Meatballs.

3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 medium onions, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground beef, preferably chuck
1 1/2 lbs ground pork
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Drizzle the milk over and let stand until absorbed.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

3. Place the ground meats in a large bowl. Add breadcrumb mixture to meats along with the reserved onion and garlic, whole eggs, yolks, parsley, oregano, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until just combined. Moisten hands with water, and roll meat mixture into 3-inch meatballs. Place on a baking sheet.

4. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add meatballs, and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Finish cooking in sauce (see *), or transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a rack to drain. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

*I typically make a simple sauce from diced tomatoes, fresh basil, white wine, onion, garlic, S&P.

the best way to stop pasta from sticking is to add oil just after its cooled

i do put oin in the water but thats to keep it from boiling over
