Its off season and life is moving slow.
Based on an idea from another thread how about some recipes?

Easy, hard, entere, dessert.

This one is so easy a kid can do it, but it is so good you will come across as a super hero.

Get an Oreo redy made pie crust
a box of sugar free chocolate jello pudding. (it MUST be sugar free)
Follow the directions on the box, BUT when it comes to adding the milk, cut it in half and then add heavy whipping cream instead.
You will end up with super fluffy chocolate mouse. The whipping cream will make it plenty sweet enough too.

People wont believe how good of a result you get from something so easy.

I knew this was coming as soon as I salivated over the thought if 1/28/01s enchiladas.

Im ready for some new food infusion!

[Moderator 3]

That enchilada recipe made my mouth water and I wasn't even hungry at the time.

[1/28/01]

See "I think Im just gonna hang out here for a bit" for the best enchiladas ever!

I make a mean Mediterranean Burger as well.

Throw in a bowl:

6-8 cut up garlic olives (or olives and few cloves of garlic separately)
1 diced tomato
Half an onion or so
Tablespoon or two of parmesan cheese
Some cut up fresh mozzarella
S&P

Sandwhich a spoon full or two of that between two burger patties and pinch closed with a fork! Cook to medium and Bam!

Layered Strawberry Dessert! So easy, but sooo good!


Bottom Layer: 2 cups crushed pretzels
1 1/2 sticks of softened butter or margarine
3 tablespoons of sugar

Mix and spread in a 9X13' pan. Bake for 8 mins. in a 400 degree oven.


Second Layer: 8 oz. package of softened cream cheese
1 cup of sugar
8 oz. container of Cool Whip (thawed at room temperature)

Blend together and spread on completely cooked bottom layer crust


Top Layer: 1 16 oz. Strawberry Jello
1 1/2 cups of boiling water (Mix these two with spoon until dissolved)

2 10 oz. packages frozen strawberries (Add to Jello mixture above, with a spoon until strawberries are thawed)

Spread on top of second layer and refrigerate. Slice when ready to serve and top with Cool Whip. Yummy!!!


Hint: You can lighten this up if you prefer, lol I do.
(ex. light Cool Whip, lowfat cream cheese, cut the butter and sugar amts. to your preferred taste. Splenda tends to make this recipie a little runny when used in place of regular sugar, but I have done half sugar/splenda just fine)

Let's go Filipino style here....

Chicken Adobo!

Saute some EVO and garlic
Once brown, throw in some chicken of your choice (I go boneless, skinless thighs...maybe 8 or so)
After the chicken cooks a bit and is no longer pink, throw enough vinegar and and soy sauce (I go 2 to 1 in favor of vinegar) to cover at least half the chicken, some S&P and a few bay leaves in the pot/pan.
Reduce to low and cook as long as your empty stomach will allow...at least 30 minutes.

Cook some rice, throw the chicken with some of the juices (au ju, if you will) on the rice and have at it

Oh yeah, and you're welcome cause its insane!!!
