» TDarCheek - Re: chicken...
In response to chicken... posted by Red:Mary, what an easy recipe! I'll bet it's good, too! Thanks for sharing 
My mother-in-law puts chicken tenders in the crockpot and covers them with catalina dressing - I haven't tried it, but it's one of their favorite recipes!
Another easy recipe is to fry pork chops in a skillet until they are brown and then spoon some crunchy peanut butter over the top and let it make a gravy... then simmer for about half an hour (I usually add a bit of water here and there if it starts to get too thick). It sounds strange, but it sure is good LOL
Great to see you!

» mastiffs2005 - Reuben sandwiches...
In response to Re: chicken... posted by TDarCheek:Today was a hectic day, and I spent the day goofing off with my sister and 2 nieces So, I threw together a quickie dinner of Reuben sandwiches and tater tots LOL
Reuben Sandwich
2 slices rye bread
1 tbsp thousand island dressing
sliced corned beef
a little bit of saurkraut (sp? went blank there LOL)
slice of swiss cheese
butter
Spread thousand island dressing over one slice of bread and top with corned beef, saurkraut, and swiss cheese. Put top slice of bread on and butter both sides of sandwich. Fry up in a cast iron skillet just like a grilled cheese. I also do these in the oven sometimes and in those little sandwich bakers. They're good anyway you do 'em!
Dave likes 'em with tater tots - I like 'em with dill pickle potato chips And of course you've got to have a slice of dill pickle spear with any sandwich dinner - I had plenty in the cupboard from the summer canning
Y'all have a great night!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

» mastiffs2005 - catching up :-)
In response to Reuben sandwiches... posted by DarCheek:Well, night before last, we had garlic pepper pork chops! I just love 'em! I'm trying to go lighter on my southern cooking style and not use so much breading or frying stuff so much, so to do these pork chops, I just sprinkle 'em down with garlic powder and lots of pepper and toss 'em in a cast iron skillet. They're fabulous on the grill, too!
Then last night, I took a night off, and we had pizza! If you haven't taken a break from cooking recently, give yourself a treat and order out! You deserve it!
Tonight, we're having spaghetti - another easy meal, as I've got spaghetti sauce that I canned this summer, and I'm throwing in some summer squash and zucchini from the freezer - I cubed it when I froze it, so it's ready to toss in! I AM going to be bad and fry my last couple of green tomatoes to go with this
Hope y'all have a great night!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

» mastiffs2005 - Roasted Herb Chicken...
In response to catching up :-) posted by DarCheek:Tonight we had roasted herb chicken, stuffin' and broccoli casserole! Yummy stuff! You can find the stuffin' and broccoli casserole recipes in my article Gettin' Ready for Thanksgiving, and here's the easy recipe for herbed chicken...
Toss some chicken into a cast iron skillet and cover with every fresh herb you've got - tonight I had rosemary, sage, thyme, and garlic - it's always different Of course some salt and pepper, too! Bake at 350 deg F for about an hour, flipping chicken pieces a couple of times until it's nice and brown all over. If you're using large chicken breasts or a whole hen, just cook for about an hour and a half at the same temp.
And boy, the house smells good!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

» mastiffs2005 - Tenderloin...
In response to Tonight... posted by DarCheek:Tonight we had a pork tenderloin, squash casserole, and fried green tomatoes - that'll be the last fried green tomatoes til early summer, and they sure were good
Squash Casserole
I used about a quart of diced squash that I had frozen from the summer garden, 1 small onion, 4 tbsp of butter, 1 pack of ritz crackers, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, and a 12 oz pkg of shredded cheddar cheese... lots and lots of black pepper and a bit of salt.
Crumble up the ritz crackers in the bottom of a small casserole dish and drizzle with 2 tbsp of butter. My squash was still a bit frozen, so I put it in a small saucepan and didn't add any water at all... then just cook it down til it's REALLY tender, and drain off any water that's in it. Add 2 tbsp of butter, the onion (diced), salt and pepper. Cook down just a bit, then pour that over your cracker crumbs. Pour your milk over the top of the squash, and top with shredded cheese and bake at 350 deg F for about 1/2 an hour or until the cheese is brown on top.
One recipe I found added bacon to the squash mixture and sprinkled chopped pecans over the top of the cheese... I'll have to try that next time! It sounded great!
Have a great night!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

» plox - Venison for supper.
Venison for supper.Start right after lunch. Pick out the nicest looking lump of the deboned deer your hunter brought you.
Wash off any stray hairs.
Remove ALL connective tissue, feeding it to the dog drooling at your knees.
Cut lean muscle meat into cubes, put in a bowl and pour some red wine over it. Drink some yourself and offer a toast to the deer who's coming to supper.
Go catch up on the internet or the laundry or something for about an hour.
Drain meat, sear in hot greased skillet to brown and seal in juices.
Put in roasting pan, add pepper, garlic, mushrooms and Campbell's Beefy Mushroom soup. Put in just a little splash of wine in case you didn't let it marinate for but 15 minutes. Have just a little splash yourself since the bottle happens to be in your hand.
Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil and put in 325 degree oven.
Go do something else for several hours until the meat is very tender.
Get a spoon and taste the results. Drink another toast to the deer and this time ask God/dess to bless the whole delicious tribe.
Serve with side dishes and bread of your choice.
Pour what's left of the wine down the drain after supper.

In response to Venison for supper. posted by plox:There's wine left?? Heaven forbid!
OH now you've got me wanting venison!! Neither of us hunt, but I love it and have to wait til I run across someone who has some LOL This is sure the way to cook it, too!
Dave likes to do it in a cast iron skillet - dowse it with lemon pepper and add potatoes and onions to the skillet, pour 1 beer over the top... cover and cook it like crazy... dowse with more lemon pepper and cook some more and so on. This is the only thing he cooks besides pizza and the occasional grilling, but it's really good!
Love & Hugs,
Dar

In response to Re: Venison for supper. posted by DarCheek:There's wine left??
haha, the wine was the one I mentioned in the Thanksgiving thread. The bottle was wearing a little tinfoil hat like I should when reading too many conspiracy theories.
Dave's recipe sounds good too. Can't beat a cast iron skillet for pure usefulness... indoors, outdoors, on top of the stove or in the oven. I have four sizes and use one or the other every day.

In response to Re: Re: Venison for supper. posted by plox:Tinfoil hat, eh? Well, at least you're safe from the aliens
Couldn't live without my cast iron either! You're right - indoors, outdoors, stovetop or oven - and I haven't found any dish that can't be cooked in it. Thanks to my father-in-law, my collection is growing! My most recent adventures have been with a castiron griddle that fits across 2 burners on the stove. I think it would be best used with a gas stove, though... or I just haven't made really good friends with it yet? I'm looking forward to trying it outdoors next summer after Dave builds me a barbeque pit, though!
Hope ya have a great night!
Love & Hugs,
Dar
