When I was single I used to make this for dates now and then - I'd say "Come on over - I'll make something light and healthy" - and I'd make this.

It was a guaranteed clothing-remover. Never figured out why...perhaps the red wine I served with it (Pinot usually).....

This is also awesome to make ahead of time, slice, and use on sandwiches.

Best pork tenderloin you will ever eat - guaranteed:

3 pounds pork tenderloins
Mix together for the marinade:
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup worcestershire sauce
¼ cup extra virgin oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Prick the tenderloins all over with a fork.

Place in the marinade, turning to coat.
Cover and let marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerated for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight.

Remove tenderloins from marinade, and discard the marinade.

Place tenderloins on a rack in a large roasting pan.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.

I'll have to try this. I love pork tenderloin. It's the filet mignon of pork.

Sounds good. I do a teriyaki hybrid thing that works on pork chops or pork loin or chicken breast or wings... preferably on the bbq.

half a cup of soya sauce
a good dollop of honey
3 or 4 oranges peeled (or a cup of OJ)
a lime peeled
a lemon peeled
half a red onion
half a red bell pepper
a chunk of fresh ginger
several cloves of garlic, or the whole head if you like
3 or 4 hot chilies, I use Bird's Eyes here, go as hot or mild as you prefer

you can mix and match the above... my mom used to simply marinade chicken for the BBQ in soya sauce and orange juice.

Toss the whole lot in a blender and liquefy. Pour over your white meat of choice and let stand for 5 minutes to overnight. BBQ. Enjoy!
 
WF has gone Martha Stewart!

Buy yourself a quesadilla maker, and dull plain food becomes ethnic hot food. You use two pieces of wrap bread or flour burrito bread, and add chicken, cheese and taco sauce. Grill this for a couple of minutes, then slice it up using a pizza cutter. Experiment with different things inside.

The makers themselves are cheap, and I keep seeing them at yard sales.

WTF? It's called a frying pan.

Place tortilla in pan, cover half with refried beans, add a layer of chicken and if you like, diced tomato, olives, chillies, etc. Add a generous portion of grated jack or cheddar, fold the other half of the tortilla over and grill on med-high heat until just lightly toasted, flip and repeat.

Cut with your chef knife.

Top with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.

No stupid kitchen appliance that just takes up space and which is a pain in the ass to clean required... which is why you see them at garage sales.
 
Well, I've got a nice little snack. Throw some regular Lays potato chips in a bowl and sprinkle some Franks Red Hot on there. You'll also want to throw a little bit of lemon juice over it. You won't believe how that tastes! I've been using it as a snack for a super long time.

I like my quesadilla maker. It's got a teflon finish and easy to clean because you just wipe it down. It grills top and bottom at once, and makes even notches so you can cut it like a pro. A frying pan would be almost as good I suppose.
 
Quick bump.

Hosting a Superbowl party this weekend. Got a big brush pile to burn before game time (gonna torch it off with a number 18 jersey). It's going to be nice out but in the 20's. Thinking about having nice pot of chili to come in and warm up to. Anybody have a favorite chili recipe before I go looking?
 
I love "comfort food", and that means I love Meatloaf.
Here's my recipe, I like plenty of veggies myself, the amount could of course be lowered for those who don't care for them as much.

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 green pepper, seeded, small diced
2 onion, diced
1 jalepeno pepper, diced
4 teaspoons (about 3 cloves) chopped garlic (or minced garlic in a jar)
3 pounds ground beef
6 eggs
2 cups bread crumbs
2.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese (this is what makes it REALLY good)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1.5 cups ketchup
4-8 tablespoons brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat 2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the peppers, onions and garlic. Saute until just soft, remove to a plate and cool.

When the peppers and onions are cool, combine all of the remaining ingredients together except for the ketchup and brown sugar. Pack the meat mixture into two oiled loaf pans, if you do not have a loaf pan, form the meat mixture into a loaf shape on an oiled oven tray or baking dish. Mix Ketchup and Brown sugar in bowl and spread over top of meatloaf.

Bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 155 degrees F in the middle of the meatloaf. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

I modified this one a bit and it is great:

Simple Turkey Chili - All Recipes

I have used turkey and ground beef and both are good. I am sure for a Super Bowl party you would want to switch it up to ground beef.

Also, instead of the water I use a can of tomato sauce. Usually, I double everything and use a big can of crushed tomatoes and a big can of tomato sauce (not sure what the ounces are on these but they are about 2 normal cans).

I also go crazy with the beans. For a double recipe I usually get 4 cans of beans: chili, red kidney, light kidney, and pinto. You can change this up for your liking but I like a ton of beans.

This can be made in the crock pot too. Just brown the meat and throw everything together and cook on med/low for a few hours and you will be good to go.
 
3 cups water
1 tbspoon black pepper
1 packet of ramen dust
1 bag ramen noodle

bring water to boil, place ramen noddle in, boil for 2 minutes, drain, rinse,
put 2 cups water in, bring to slight boil, packet of ramen dust, black pepper.


enjoy
