fun recipies that i have been learning

Here's a salmon rub for ya:

paprika
coarse salt
finely minced oregano
pepper

Mix these ingredients together (the paprika, salt, and oregano in close to equal parts, and just a dash or two of pepper). The mixture should be mostly reddish in colour from the paprika.

Baste the salmon fillets with virgin olive oil, apply rub, rub it in, and top with a few spritzes of fresh lemon juice.

Throw these on the grill on low heat until the flesh flakes and easily separates from the skin, or until it's cooked to whatever the proper fish temperature is, however you prefer.

This is my favorite way to eat salmon other than smoked.

Put it in the crock pot in the morning with a packet of Lipton French Onion Soup Mix, a bit of water, a quarter onion sliced and put it on low heat. I put in a bit of salt and pepper also.

At about mid-day add in some quartered potatos and cut up carrots, maybe some celery if you like that too.

If you do it in the slow cooker like this and let it go all day it will be so tender that you don't need teeth to eat it, just slap it against the roof of your mouth a couple times and you're good to go. The carrots will melt in your mouth with delicious meat juice goodness.

Also you can take the stock that comes off the roast and dip some of it out into a small sauce pan. Bring this up to about medium heat so that it's simmering. In a bowl mix corn starch and water until it's slightly thick, but not lumpy. Slowly stir in some of the corn starch mixture until the stock is about as thick as you'd like your gravy to be. As the gravy cools slightly it will also thicken a little more so don't go overboard.

I've found that you CAN throw the taters and carrots in the pot in the morning, but they'll be total mush by the time you're ready to eat this that evening. It has worked best for me to toss the veggies in at my noon lunch break. This way everything but the gravy is ready to eat when I get home for supper.

Here's another of my favorite feed-a-family recipes that's good, cheap, but not so much with the fancy:

Grandma's Hotdish (caserole for you hippies that don't live in MN):

Brown a pound of lean hamburger

Boil about 2 cubs of wide egg noodles while the hamburger is browning.

Drain any excess grease off the hamburger (works great to eat a cup of yogurt while you are doing this so you can spoon the grease off into the yogurt cup and let it solidify before you toss it)

Drain and rinse noodles (hot water).

Add noodles, 1 family size can of Campbell's vegetarian vegetable soup, and 1 small can of V8 or tomato juice to the drained hamburger.

Shake a liberal amount of celery salt onto the mixture and a bit of pepper. Stir and heat through.


Have this with a glass of milk and some bread and you've got all your basic food groups covered for 1 meal. This also makes for great leftovers for a couple of days if you don't have a big family to feed.

10 if you use the file powder stir 1-2 teaspoons into the gumbo per serving.

serve the gumbo over a bowl of white rice.

the second time you simmer the gumbo start steaming your rice. if you have a rice cooker or if you watch it you can make your rice ahead of time.

any asian style meal is GREAT without meat

for example cook up about a cup of rice

jullienne or cut up into long pieces (about the size of match sticks) any piece of vegetable in the home you can find

some good suggestions are..
red or green bell pepper
carrots
celery
greenbeans (no need to cut them up just clip the ends and wash)
leek

all of those go well. any firm vege will work

now get the biggest pan you have (you will need it)

first sautee up some garlic and ginger. now add your vegetables and then rice. once you add the rice continue stirring and add some sesame oil (if you like) and some soy sauce (untill the rice turns into a light brown color)
congradulations you have just made stir fryed rice

Ever go to your local Mexican food joint where they served Chips and two kinds of salsa? I LOVE the white salsa, and have been scouring recipe pages for months on a re-creation. This is the best I have tasted yet:

2 C Mayo
1 C Milk
1/4 C Sour cream
1 TBSP chopped garlic
4 tsp ground cumin
1 TBSP crushed red pepper flakes
1 TBSP dried oregano

Mix, be sure to chill at least a couple hrs to let the flavors blend. Serve with tortilla chips

If you can make it better, please share! This was realllly close tho :)

I just store it in the old oil bottle, a half gallon fills my fryer perfectly, then I can use same container and store it.

I go about storing it back in my mobile1 synthetic containers. I then bring it to the closest kragen and dispose of it there. We are talking about motor oil right? =P
