What

Ok, so tonight the wife had to work tonight so dinner tonight was pretty much up to me. I decided to head on back to my bachelor days and made what I'm calling "The Ultimate Bachelor Burger!!" I'm probobly not the first person to think of this but it's the first time I've tried it. I took 1/2 a pound of hamburger and smashed it flat. I then took some diced onions, green peppers, and cheese and put it on top. I folded the meat over so all the stuff was inside the burger. Threw it on the grill, more cheese on top, onto the bun with mayo, mustard, lettuce, and dug in. It probobly would have been good with jalapenos but I had to work with what I had. I'm proud to say I was a big boy and finished the whole thing. The only down side, I cut my finger open dicing the green peppers. Man those Ginsu knives are sharp. :haha:

Nice looking burger. . .you'll have to start learning to cook now that your coming home. :nono: :lol8:

Ok, I'll play. . .fresh cutthroat trout from Strawberry tonight. Who can top it? :ne_nau:

Stuffed chicken breast, seasoned potato wedges, homemade dinner rolls. Crystal light grape to wash it down.

Crystal Light, very good. I was drinking the "classic orange" variety. Grape sounds good.

Maybe we should start a "Whats for breakfast" thread. My wife just tried a new recipe this morning. A+++

Those pictures make me drool!! :slobber: That looks yummy.
There's nothing better than a good-lookin' man who knows how to cook! :2thumbs: I made chicken and andouille sausage gumbo a few nights ago, but didn't take a photo. It doesn't matter though....gumbo isn't very pretty anyway........but it is very tasty. :eat:

SO, when's the end of summer BBQ gonna be?!! :friday: :five:

Just came back from Jasmine Sushi bar

Looks deelish, and completely atkins legal.

Oh yahh, thats looks great! :eat:

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! :slobber:

This is actually lunch from today. It's all leftovers from the fridge or veggies from the garden--smoked sausage marinated in beer and garlic, diced ham, cherry tomatoes, bell and jalape

:slobber: now THAT is some goodlookin vittles!

this usually happens on my days off...I am sick of boxed lunches I have survived on all week and it's time to COOK! This is what I had for lunch today: zucchini served over vermicelli...sounds simple right?
1 small zucchini 6 to 8 inches to avoid unwanted seeds and softness cut into strips. pour olive oil and a tsp of butter for flavor in a pan and sautee a clove of fresh garlic. add zucchini and season with oregano, thyme, basil, and any number of flavors you drool over, salt and pepper...cook til it all starts to just soften and pour mixture over vermicelli - I seasoned the vermicelli about the same. I forgot the mushrooms until I was eating but that'd be good with portabellas - sprinkle the whole thing with parmesan cheese.
..you can add about a 1/3c of cream to this and a dash of cayenne for a change but I LOVE it the way it is.

Aussie Chicken, Spinach salad, lame corn from our garden. Fruit punch Crystal Light to wash it down.

HAHA yeah. It is just some thousand Island, cheese, and smashed crackers. I don't like my salads to be healthy.
The aussie chicken is a chicken breast with bacon and mozarella on top of it with a honey mustard sauce on top. Its delicious. My wife makes it so I don't really know the recipe, if interested I could get it.

Sorry it took so long to answer I missed your post.

Yeah me too. A plain brownie = yuck.

Who else has some sweet meals? Post 'em up! Oh man I miss the summer. . .

No sweets, but here is my little veggie dish and this was the first time I tried a mixture of Wheat Germ and Corn Meal as a "breading" then broiled.

The veggie casserole: Layer of tomato, then egg plant, zucchini, summer squash and then repeat until the Pyrex can't take anymore layers :haha: Cover with foil and bake to taste, firmness of veggies. If the Pyrex starts to show the veggies browning the glass, they're done. Easy clean up. Nothing burnt to the dish, nothing stuck on it :lol8:

Wheat germ is SUCH a fabulous source of vitamin E........another thing you can add to a fruit smoothie would be some Brewers Yeast. One TBSP of that gives you tons of amino acids as well as all your vitamin B's.......good stuff!! Your veggies look yummy!! Try roasting some sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots and onion in light olive oil with fresh rosemary and garlic. YUMMY!! And oh so good for you. Keep it up JP. :2thumbs:

Did someone say "Sweet Potato"...MMMMMMMM... Thanks :2thumbs:

The wheat germ/corn meal coating did keep some of the juices in while cooking. Little on the bland side of things, but stopped the chicken from burning and held onto some of the juices.

Here was tonights meal :haha: Even the steam/heat could be seen. The sacrifices we make for the Net :haha:

All finished :lol8:

Yup, very soon. All summer in fact. Get this cooking thread and recipe stuff flying. :rockon: :five:

Alison's Summer Salad Packed full of antioxidants:

Bag of Spring Mix
Gorgonzola cheese
Orange slices, cut up into chunks
Blackberries (or any berries work)
Tomato
Honey glazed walnuts

Dressing:
Raspberry vinager
honey
light olive oil
spash of OJ/orange zest


Honey glazed walnuts: Place walnuts on foil, toss in little bit of olive oil and lots of honey. Place in oven or toaster oven and roast them, but don't burn them. They cook QUICK! Immediately remove them from the foil so they don't stick, throw them in a bowl, let them cool.

Dressing:
Mix Rasp vinegar, honey, Olive oil and OJ with a little zest to taste. It should be a light sweet dressing.

Toss everything together, once the walnuts have cooled and YUMMY!! Packed full of antioxidants, vitamin C and good fats (walnuts) and trace minerals (honey).


It's a great salad to have along side of a grilled peice of MEAT. Or K-bobs of some sort. Very filling.

So I get home from work this afternoon and upon opening my front door, my olfactory senses are awakened by the scent of taco meat simmering.
Mmmmmm. Just now how I'm used to taco meat simmering.

My wife had the ol' crock pot slow cooking away on the counter, so I went over and took a peek. It smelled sooooooo delicious that I almost dished up a bowl of the yummy looking concoction inside.

She decided to try out a new recipe, "Crock Pot Chicken Tacos", served atop piping hot Navajo fry bread.

We grated some Mexican blend cheese, whipped up some fresh guacamole, broke out the sour cream, and chopped up some crisp Romaine lettuce to top it off. :slobber: Oh, man. This was a treat.

Check out the photo....This was actually the second one I pounded for dinner. We used the leftover frybread dough to cook up a tasty dessert.

If anyone wants the recipe, lemme know. This one WILL be back on my plate SOON! :2thumbs:

Fathers day dinner I decided to smoke some salmon. My wife also got some crab legs so I thought why not smoke them too. Well I am a noob at smoking and I think I went a little overboard on the woodchips, too much smokiness. The crap legs were actually pretty juicy but I prefer it without the smoke flavor. We also had stuffed crab, popcorn shrimp, and red lobster knock-off cheesy garlic rolls. The rolls were better than at Red Lobster!
The salmon is all ripped up because I already went through it looking for bones.

Moosman, post up that recipe dude, that looks tastey

ps. nutcrackers do nothing for opening crap legs :roflol:
