Are there any recipes for cooking tree frogs?

I have some really old tree frogs and I'm guessing they would make a good, tasty, salty dinner. Don't say I will die. Don't delete the question.Are there any recipes for cooking tree frogs?
First the poison arrow/dart frogs are not tree frogs. Yes they live in trees but they are not tree frogs. Second you cook large frogs, tree frogs you eat raw like sushi.Are there any recipes for cooking tree frogs?
that depends on the tree frogs. some can just make you sick while others like the poison dart frog can down right kill you. and yes there are recipes for tree frogs but why would you eat a frog? it's like saying when your dog gets old you should eat it too. Sicko.
I gave you links yesterday - 3 tries with this question - a variety of responses from outrage to real info in two categories and you haven't come up with anything new yet?

Spaghetti and Meatballs Prep Time:


Yield: Serves 4 to 6





meatballs


2 slices white sandwich bread (crusts discarded), torn into small pieces


1/2 cup buttermilk or 6 tablespoons plain yogurt thinned with 2 tablespoons whole milk


1 pound ground meat (preferably 3/4 pound ground chuck and 1/4 pound ground pork)


1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese


2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley leaves


1 large egg yolk


1 teaspoon finely minced garlic


3/4 teaspoon salt


Ground black pepper


About 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil for pan-frying





smooth tomato sauce


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


1 teaspoon minced garlic


1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes


1 tablespoon minced fresh basil leaves


Salt and ground black pepper





1 pound spaghetti


Freshly grated Parmesan cheese





VARIATIONS:


SPAGHETTI AND CHICKEN MEATBALLS


If you want to trim some fat from this recipe, ground chicken is a decent alternative to ground beef and pork. We found that meatballs made from chicken are a tad soft, so they must be refrigerated for an hour before being fried to keep them from sticking to the pan or falling apart.





Follow recipe for Spaghetti and Meatballs, replacing ground meat with 1 pound ground chicken. After shaping meatballs in step 2, place on platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Proceed as directed.


The shaped meatballs can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for several hours ahead of serving time, if you like. Fry the meatballs and make the sauce at the last minute.





1. For the meatballs: Combine bread and buttermilk in small bowl and let stand, mashing occasionally with fork, until smooth paste forms, about 10 minutes.





2. Place ground meat, cheese, parsley, egg yolk, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste in medium bowl. Add bread-milk mixture and combine until evenly mixed. Shape 3 tablespoons of mixture into 1 1/2-inch-round meatball. (When forming meatballs use a light touch. If you compact the meatballs too much, they can become dense and hard.) You should be able to form about 14 meatballs.





3. Pour vegetable oil into 10- or 11-inch saut茅 pan to depth of 1/4 inch. Turn flame to medium-high. After several minutes, test oil with edge of meatball. When oil sizzles, add meatballs in single layer. Fry, turning several times, until nicely browned on all sides, about 10 minutes (see illustration below). Regulate heat as needed to keep oil sizzling but not smoking. Transfer browned meatballs to plate lined with paper towels and set aside.





4. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in large pot for pasta.





5. For the sauce: Meanwhile, discard oil in pan but leave behind any browned bits. Add olive oil for tomato sauce along with garlic and saut茅 over medium heat, scraping up browned bits, just until garlic is golden, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, bring to boil, and simmer gently until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in basil and salt and pepper to taste. Add meatballs and simmer, turning them occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Keep warm over low flame.





6. Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta to boiling water. Cook until al dente, drain, and return to pot. Ladle several large spoonfuls of sauce (without meatballs) over spaghetti and toss until noodles are well coated. Divide pasta among individual bowls and top each with a little more tomato sauce and 2 or 3 meatballs. Serve immediately with grated cheese passed separately.

Beef Stroganoff





This classic Russian dish is easy to make; use frozen chopped onions and presliced mushrooms to speed preparation. To maintain a creamy consistency, be careful not to bring the sauce to a boil once you stir in the sour cream mixture. Serve with rice if you need a substitute for egg noodles.





1 (8-ounce) carton reduced-fat sour cream


3 tablespoons no salt-added tomato paste


1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon salt


1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


2 pounds boneless sirloin steak, cut into (2-inch) strips


1 tablespoon butter


1/2 cup chopped onion


1 (14-ounce) can less-sodium beef broth


2 cups sliced mushrooms


Chopped fresh parsley (optional)


8 cups cooked medium egg noodles (about 7 cups uncooked pasta)





Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.





Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add beef; seal and shake to coat beef with flour mixture.





Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; saut茅 2 minutes or until tender. Add beef and flour mixture to pan; saut茅 3 minutes or until beef is browned. Gradually add broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Reduce heat to low; gradually stir in sour cream mixture. Cook, uncovered, 1 minute or until heated (do not boil). Stir in parsley, if desired. Serve over the egg noodles.

Something easy that looks and tastes ALOT harder than it is pasta! I would suggest the following if the ingredients are something you would enjoy:





Linguini with mushrooms, grape tomatoes and fresh smoked mozzarella cheese





1 lb linguini cooked to al dente


two 10 oz packages of white button mushrooms


2 cloves of garlic, minced


1/4 cup white wine


1/2 cup olive oil


1 pint grape tomatoes, washed


1 ball of fresh smoked mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes


1 Tbsp dried basil


1/2 tsp nutmeg


salt and pepper to taste





Heat a large sautee pan over med-high heat and add 3 tbsp olive oil.


Remove stems from mushrooms and then slice them. Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot pan and then salt them. Allow the mushrooms to cook, stirring occasionally until all their liquid is gone.


At this point add the garlic and cook for an additional minute or two (do not allow the garlic to get dark)


Remove the pan from the heat and add the white wine to deglaze the pan.


Add the nutmeg and some fresh cracked black pepper. Allow to continue cooking until the wine has been absorbed by the mushrooms. When all the liquid is gone add the remaining olive oil and the basil.


When the olive oil starts to crackle, lower the heat to med-low and add the tomatoes. Place a lid over the pan and cook for another few minutes (until the tomatoes are hot and just about to pop). At this point remove the lid and add the cooked linguini. Toss the pasta in the sauce and then add the cheese. Toss again and return the lid to the pan until the cheese starts to melt.


Serve with romano cheese on top.





Don't forget dessert! Make chocolate ganache and whipped cream and then have romantic things to dip in it like strawberries, pineapple and small cubes of pound cake. Then feed it to her and she will melt in your arms.





Amazing Chocolate Ganache Recipe


8oz heavy whipping cream


8oz bittersweet chocolate chips


1 Tbsp unsalted butter


1oz dark rum or grand marnier





Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan. When it is just come to a rolling boil remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for about a minute to allow the chocolate to melt and then whisk until smooth. Add the 1tbsp of butter and whisk until smooth and glossy. When the ganache has cooled slightly add the 1oz of liquor and then whisk until just combined. Serve at room temperature.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Gravy recipe


1 cup buttermilk, divided


1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts


1/4 cup yellow cornmeal


1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 cup corn oil


1 cup chicken broth


1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste





Pour 1/2 cup buttermilk into a shallow dish just large enough to hold the chicken. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, turning to coat completely.





In another shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, the pepper and salt. Dredge the chicken in the cornmeal, patting the mixture to coat the chicken all over.





In a large skillet, heat the oil. Pan fry the chicken over medium heat, turning once, until it is cooked through and the coating is dark golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.





Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour into the pan drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour paste takes on a golden color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the broth and remaining 1/2 cup buttermilk. Cook, stirring up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until the gravy is bubbly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Season with hot-pepper sauce, salt and pepper.





Serve the chicken with the gravy ladled over it.





Makes 4 servings.

There's a cookbook out by Mark Bitterman called How to Cook Everything. It has some great, basic recipes that are not hard to follow and you won't need alot of speciality items. Just good, solid recipes and other information about all types of food items, from cuts of meat, to vegetables, etc.
check out bisquick's website or cooks.com very good stuff there easy too
Quesadillas: you can do veggie like portabello mushrooms and cheese or peppers and cheese. Or you can do a chicken with peppers and cheese. just cook your filling with seasoning (chili powder, garlic and cumin) place on a flat tortilla, cover with cheese and anothe tortiall. bruch with oil and bake for about 12-15 mins. i
Tricky because taste is a HUGE factor - for veg I prefer Mediterranean but some prefer Asian influenced tastes - it is better to look at recipes that are ready in under 20 minutes and sort the ones you like best for common ingredients (you'd be surprised how many cultures share same bases with different preparations). Good Luck!

I'm a university student. How do I save money on food? Is there some special (fast and cheap) cooking recipes?

Watch the weekly grocery ads for store specials. My local grocery does '; buy 1, get 1 free'; but the good part is you don't have to buy 2 items - you can buy 1 @ 1/2 price. So when I catch the sale, I buy a large bag of boneless, skinless chicken breast which is about $4 - great price!! They also do frozen veggies 10 or $10 so I grab a few bags %26amp; steam them in the micro. Got a baby foreman so I can just grab a chicken breast %26amp; have dinner ready in under 20 minutes. You can also stock up on pizzas, hamburger helper, etc.......I'm a university student. How do I save money on food? Is there some special (fast and cheap) cooking recipes?

make a massive stew every week that will last you a good few days.





Chop up one large onion, and saut茅 in a little bit of oil. Add 3 or 4 sliced carrots, 3 or 4 peeled and diced potatoes, and enough water to just cover the vegetables. Add one large can of diced tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are almost tender. Add about a quarter cup of soy sauce, a few tablespoons of lemon juice, a minced or crushed clove of garlic, and a generous cup of peanut butter. Return to a boil, stirring constantly, until the peanut butter has been mixed in thoroughly and the stew thickens. Add a little more water if you want a thinner ';soup'; to serve with bread, or add a little extra peanut butter if you want a thicker stew to serve over rice. Adjust individual ingredients to taste.

Ever hear of rice noodles, or rice. Buckwheat is also good. Keep rice, buckwheat around, a big bag of frozen veggies, buy a rice cooker, drink water, and green tea. Eat frozen veggies which you can add to the rice, also combine the buckwheat with the rice, a big bag of frozen veggies at Walmart costs $1.50 and a big bag of Basmati Rice~ $6-10, and this lasts for months. Buckwheat you can buy at a Russian store, a big bag costs ~ $5-7, lasts for months. Buy some Pam or good oil like coconut oil to add to the rice-buckwheat while cooking, and eat away. Take vitamins, keep pickles around. That should take you down to like $20 bucks for groceries for the month. You can also eat like lentils, split peas, and beans, at like $0.50-1 a bag, that's not bad, mix them with the rice, and this makes protein. Remember to buy spices to add to your meals, and there you go. Keep a bag of nuts around for energy. Your brain will need energy, the brain is all fat but can only use Vitamin E, omega-3-6-9, and fatty acids, so eat nuts like almonds or buy some linseed oil which is omega-3-6-9 and take a teaspoon of that, the best brand is Barleans Flax oil. Other good oils are coconut oil which are just fatty acids, drink this too. Keep honey around and mix that with your teas, drink decaf teas. Honey is nothing but 6-carbon sugars that your brain %26amp; body can easily use, the brain loves honey. Buy %26amp; eat raisins and mix these with the nuts, your body will love them too. Also I recommend Barlean's greens, just to give you all the energy from the green family- lettuce %26amp; veggies.
I struggled with this same issue during my college years. Here are some suggestions:





The key is to eat foods that make you feel full for as long as possible. Simple carbs like ramen, rice, mac %26amp; cheese, and pasta are cheap but will not keep that hungry feeling at bay as long as lean proteins like chicken and fish. Lean proteins will make you feel fuller longer and give you longer-lasting energy.





1) Eggs, chicken, fish, and beef should be your main goals (in that order). I've found chicken to be the least expensive lunch or dinner meal mainly because you can freeze uncooked chicken parts for up to 9 months and they come in bulk packages at your local chain grocery store. (Be careful with freezing. Rinse each chicken part, dry it with a paper towel, and wrap individual parts in foil. These steps prevent freezer burn and freezer burn will ruin your food.) Cold water fish are important for keeping your brain healthy, so you might want to keep sardines around. Canned sardines have a decent shelf life, are healthy, and provide protein. If nothing else, keep them around for lean times when you're broke but need to get in some protein.





2) Never skip breakfast. Always have some sort of protein (eggs) for breakfast in addition to anything else you eat, because it will keep you full first thing in the morning.





3) Research. One great site for recipes is www.foodnetwork.com. Find a couple recipes for lean proteins that sound appetizing to you, are easy, inexpensive, and can be portioned out for the week. Slow cooker meals are the best - inexpensive, easy, and you can make enough for the entire week.





4) Plan ahead. This is key. If you make all you'll need to eat for the week all in one day, you won't be tempted to spend money on junk food when you're rushed and you'll never go hungry because you'll have all your food with you. Plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner in advance. It'll be easier if you generally use the same couple of recipes for each. If you get tired of the recipes you use, a little planning and research will help you change things up.





5) Throw in some apples and oranges to eat for the week. They're full of fiber which also makes you feel full.





Good luck!





Edited to add: Beans!! Canned beans are the least expensive way to get in both protein and fiber which will keep you feeling full. Chili is a great way to use both meat and beans.
I am an university student as well and like u, I don't have enough money to spend for my daily meals. What I normally do is buy my needs for the week and try to make a meal plan as well. I tend to cook of make simple healthy food such as mashed potatoes, rice, fried rice, steamed vegetables and simple pasta with fried chicken, baked salmon or anything simple that I can manage to make. Its not hard as you think it is. Cooking may take time but you can always have a couple of tv dinner within that week to give u a break in preparing your food. its cheaper to buy the goods and making it yourself makes it cleaner and healthier too. if cooking doesnt really works for you, let somebody help u and cook with them. hopefully this advice helps. good luck
do you have the meal plan or not?


If you have the meal plan use it to the fullest of it's ability!








dood, its called ramen noodles and bottled water.
I recommend pasta roni and rice a roni, buy them in bulk and then you have them on hand, if you get tired of them you can always add sauces, cheeses, spices, vegetables, meat and so on to change it up.
This may help!
You should get a small crock pot. It comes with recipes and you just put in the ingredients and go do your thing. When you come home, it's done. You can have leftovers the next day.
Its realy how you freeze/Store meats and dry goods for use. Take the time to break things like hamburger into equal amounts (Enough for you) and freeze them for later use, same with any frozen goods. Any number of recipes that are quick and easy to make. I reccomend Rachel Rays 30 Minute meals, her first book, Its full of fast inexpensive to make recipes that are realy good.
Top ramen that is what I use to eat when I was in college and it can save you lots of money its cheap and tasty and you can add your own seasonings and make it taste real good. also I use to eat grilled cheese sandwiches and TV dinners. also learn to cook spaghetti it will last a few days,or chili it also goes a long way like two or three days. YUM YUM
pasta to make the meat go further peanut butter ramin noodles
We ate a lot of sphagetti with and without meat. Pasta is cheap, it's often on sale and you can do many things with it. But mayo and tuna = pasta salad. Add fresh garlic and butter. or buy a small jar of alfredo sauce. Ask friends to chip in so that you can add chicken to some of the pasta dishes. We also ate a lot of turkey wings. Brown them and add a can of cream of mushroom soup and you're done. Rice a roni and cheap mixed veggies and the ladies will be impressed.
stew. get a crockpot, some broth, beef, rice, and anyother vegis you like (potatos, carrots, celery, etc) throw it in the pot in the morning, plug it in, and let it cook all day. eat at dinner time. (you dont have to watch it)





frozen taquitoes are good, and you can get them hella in bulk.








GRILLED CHEESE





get two slices of bread, two or three thingys of cheese. butter up the cooking pan, put stove on medium heat, stick the bread on the pan with cheese on each side. when the cheese is starting to melt, slab the bread together and flip the sandwich over a few times.





if you want more protein, add ham or pastrami int he middle of the sandwich.





eat with carrots.





make sure you stay healthy so that ur brain wil be fresh for finals and so partying doesn't take too much of a toll!!! also you dont want to gain too much weight, b/c when you grow up and get a job, you wont have time to lose it....
