being a man from alabama, my mom always made great food. one of my favorites was tomato gravy. we would put it on biscuits, and eat them all day.cook some bacon until crisp and drain the grease. add the grease back to the pan and add some flour to make a roux. cook for a few minutes and add one can of crushed tomatoes to the roux. heat until thick. you may have to add a little milk if you added to much flour. season it with some salt and pepper and serve it over biscuts. enjoy...we have for over 50 years in our family.
Paula Dean of the Food Network is a southern belle of cooking. Her recipes can be found on www.foodtv.com. Just a fair warning, though: almost everything is made with a stick of butter!
Old-fashioned Bread Pudding





12 slices stale or lightly toasted bread, diced





3 cups light cream





3 egg yolks, well beaten





1/3 cup sugar





1/4 teaspoon salt





1 teaspoon vanilla extract





1 teaspoon ground cinnamon





1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg





1/4 cup peach preserves





1/2 cup seedless raisins





Hard Sauce (see recipe)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread in a buttered 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Next, blend together cream, egg yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add preserves and raisins; beat well and pour over the bread. Stir gently with a fork until the ingredients are well blended.





Place dish in a pan containing 1 inch of hot water and bake for 45 minutes or until almost set in the center. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Serve with Hard Sauce or Lemon Bourbon Sauce





Hard Sauce:





1 cup confectioners' sugar





4 tablespoons butter





1/8 teaspoon salt





2 tablespoons brandy





1/4 cup cream





1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon





1/8 teaspoon ground allspice





Sift confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, beat butter until soft. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well blended and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. When sauce is very smooth, refrigerate and chill thoroughly before serving. Makes 1陆 cups.





the best thing about bread pudding is adding in any kind of fruit you want, such as peaches, instead of preserves as called for here. She doesn't normally use cinnamon or allspice in her sauce; instead she mixes up brandy, sugar and butter to spoon over her bread pudding. She likes to bake it in large muffin tins and serve it in individual dishes, rather than scooping it from one large baking








Lemon-Bourbon Sauce

3/4 c Water


1/4 c Bourbon


4 ts Lemon juice

    Pork's other End





    1 (6-pound) boneless pork butt roast


    2 teaspoons salt


    2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper


    12 cloves garlic, chopped


    1 cup chopped fresh parsley


    1/2 cup fennel seeds


    1/4 cup olive oil


    1 fennel bulb, finely chopped, feather tops saved for garnish


    8 new potatoes, quartered


    4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces


    4 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces


    2 onions, cut into 2-inch chunks


    Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F.


    Cut the roast in half lengthwise and open it like a book. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, fennel seeds and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork, pressing the fennel seeds and garlic into the meat. Spread the chopped fennel bulb over the meat, the fold the meat back together and tie it with a string.





    Place the meat in a roasting pan, cover and bake for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. Toward the last 40-50 minutes of cooking, scatter the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and onions in the roasting pan around the meat, and continue to cook until pork is cooked through and falls apart when touched with a fork. Stir the vegetables now and then so they brown evenly.





    Allow meat to sit for 5 minutes on a cutting board. To serve, pull the pork apart (instead of slicing), and serve with the roasted vegetables. Garnish with feathery fennel tops.Does anyone have any good cooking tips and recipes for cooking a Boston butt pork in the oven?

    Fried Green Tomatoes


    3 medium, firm green tomatoes


    1/2 cup all-purpose flour


    1/4 cup milk


    2 beaten eggs


    2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal


    1/4 cup olive oil


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1/4 teaspoon pepper





    1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.





    2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.





    Grillades(gree-YHADS)





    1 pound pork steaks, cut into 1-inch pieces


    1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning


    1/2 cup vinegar


    Cooking spray


    2 tablespoons chopped onion





    Season pork with Creole seasoning and place in shallow baking dish. Marinate overnight in vinegar.





    Place drained meat into a skillet coated with cooking spray.





    Brown on each side. Add onion and enough water to cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.





    Serve over creamy grits.





    Serves 4.





    Creamy Grits


    2 tablespoons salted butter or 2 tablespoons unsalted plus 录 teaspoon salt


    2 cups water


    陆 cup whole-grain grits


    1 to 2 cups half-and-half





    Drop the butter into the water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the grits, return to a boil, and reduce the heat, allowing the grits to cook at a low boil for 10 minutes or so, until the grits are very thick and have absorbed most of the water, stirring occasionally to prevent the grits from sticking.


    Add about 陆 cup of the milk or cream to the pot and turn down the heat, allowing the grits to simmer for another 10 minutes or so. As the liquid evaporates or is absorbed, add more cream or milk, cooking the grits until the desired consistency is reached, a total cooking time of at least an hour.


    Serves 4.





    Real Sweet Tea


    3 family sized tea bags


    a pinch baking soda (about 1/4 teaspoon)


    1 to 1 1/3 cups of sugar

    Cube Steak with Onion Gravy:


    1 lb. cube steak


    1 cup flour


    Salt, pepper, garlic powder


    2 cans beef broth


    1 onion, chopped


    1 envelope onion soup mix


    1 tbsp. worchestershire sauce


    Salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp. thyme





    Place flour in a shallow dish and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Coat cube steak with flour well and place in a hot skillet with vegetable oil. Brown cube steaks well on both sides and remove from skillet-- you're not cooking them all the way through now. With drippings/oil from the pan add in enough flour to make a roux, usually 2-3 tbsp. Brown the flour/oil/roux mixture until it turns a deep golden brown over medium low heat, usually takes 10 minutes. Whisk in enough beef broth for a gravy-- this you have to use your judgment on. Keep whisking to remove all lumps. Now add in all seasonings such as salt, pepper, thyme. onion soup mix, worchestershire sauce, and chopped onion and stir to combine. Add in browned cube steak and turn heat to low and simmer covered for one and a half hours. You may need to add more broth during cooking time. Serve over hot buttered rice and enjoy!





    Here's my recipe for Macaroni and Cheese- southern style that's baked. Boil one 8 oz box of elbow noodles until done and drain. Meanwhile, mix together one 12 oz can evaporated milk, 1 cup sour cream, salt/pepper/cayenne to taste, 1 egg, and 8-16 oz cheddar cheese. You can add as much cheese as you want but hold out some of it for the top of the mac and cheese. Mix that together and add in your cooked elbow macaroni. Pour into a greased casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 mintues. Check the mac and cheese to see if it's done. If it still looks like it has liquid left you can cook it for longer or take it out if you like creamy mac and cheese.





    Banana Pudding is a southern staple at all potlucks and family reunions. Here's the recipe I use and everyone loves it.


    Banana Pudding:


    1 can sweetened condensed milk


    1 1/2 cups cold water


    1 pkg. 4 serving size vanilla pudding


    1 pint heavy whipping cream


    3 bananas, sliced


    1 box vanilla wafers





    Whisk the sweetened condensed milk and water together. Add in the pudding mix, stir and chill in fridge. Meanwhile in a chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream with hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream together with the pudding/milk mixture. Layer pudding/cream mixture on bottom of another bowl with layers of bananas and wafers until you have used all the pudding mixture, bananas, and wafers. Chill and serve.
    O.K. These two are going to sound gross. I don't tell people the ingredients until after they've tasted them and raved about how good they are.





    First:


    Turnip green soup





    Turnip Green Soup





    Ingredients





    8 oz. chopped, frozen turnip greens


    1 can great northern beans


    1 pkg. Knorr vegetable soup mix


    1 tsp. Tabasco


    1 tbs. sugar


    2 cups or more water or bullion (It's better if you use chicken bullion.)


    1 lb. sliced polish sausage (This is really a lot better if you use Connecuh brand sausage.)





    Preparation





    Mix all ingredients together. Cook 45 minutes to 1 hour (possibly longer). Serve with corn bread. You can double recipe %26amp; freeze.





    Frozen buttermilk (really this is good!!)





    In a big pot that you can freeze, mix 1 qt. buttermilk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 large can crushed pineapple, tsp. vanilla, 1/2 cup sugar. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool and place in freezer. Check every now and then and stir. Continue to check and stir until it is too frozen to stir. The more you stir the better so that ice crystals don't form. This gets really hard so you'll need to take it out of the freezer and allow to soften slightly before you serve.
    Fried Chicken


    I use boneless breasts but you can use this with any cut chicken


    3 cups flour


    4 Tablespoons seasoning salt


    4 Tablespoons black pepper


    mix this well then in separate bowl mix


    3 cups hot water


    4 chicken bouillon cubes


    stir until dissolved. dip chicken in water mixture then flour repeat again then fry in hot oil on medium heat for about 8 minutes on each side until golden brown {if you want it extra crispy repeat a third time.

    1 yellow cake mix


    2 eggs


    1 stick melted butter


    mix well and press in bottom of glass cake pan


    1 8oz bar cream cheese Softened


    2 eggs


    4 cups powdered sugar

    I know it sounds crazy and weird, but I loved shrimp that's been boiled in Sprite instead of water. I makes the shrimp sweet and lemony. You can eat it with cocktail sauce if you want to.

    .................shrimp omlet..................


    tb Salad Oil


    6 tb Green Pepper; Chopped


    6 tb Celery; Chopped


    2 tb Onion; Chopped


    2 md Tomatoes; Peeled And Chopped


    1/4 ts Oregano Leaves


    1/4 ts Salt


    3 Eggs


    1 tb Cold Water


    1/4 ts Salt


    1/8 ts Pepper


    1 tb Butter Or Margarine


    1/4 c Cooked Shrimp; Chopped


    1 Whole Shrimp; For Garnish


    Parsley; For Garnish





    Instructions:


    Prepare Creole Sauce - In small skillet ovre medium-high heat, heat oil,


    vegetables and onion. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring


    occasionally. Add tomatoes, salt and oregano. Mix well; simmer, covered,


    for around 10 minutes, stirring often. Makes enough sauce for 2 omelets.


    Keep sauce warm.





    Break the eggs into a small bowl, then add the water, salt, and pepper.


    With a wire whisk or fork, beat eggs vigorously, just until the yolks and


    whites are mixed. In a 7-inch omelet pan or skillet, over medium heat, melt


    butter. Tilt skillet so the butter coats the whole surface of the pan. Pour


    in the eggs and let them set around edge. Shake the pan occasionally to


    keep the omelet from moving freely over the bottom of the pan. With a metal


    spatula, lift omelet as it sets, tilting skillet so that any uncooked egg


    mixture can run under omelet. Contine shaking pan for a few more seconds


    until you can feel the omelet sliding freely over the pan surface. When


    omelet is set but still moist on the surface, increase the slightly to


    brown the bottom. Remove pan from heat. Sprinkle the chopped shrimp evenly


    over half of the omelet. Tilting pan away from you, lift edge of the omelet


    with a spatula and gently fold in half over the shrimp. Carefully slide


    omelet on to a warm plate; pour Creole Sauce over the omelet. If you like,


    garnish with the whole shrimp and parsley.
    Just get it from the store and then put it in the oven, lol i am not givin u my recipes.
    My garlic shrimp recipe:


    I marinate clean with tail on shrimp with garlic powder, fresh minced garlic, parsley, lemon pepper, sea salt and olive oil..let them sit for a while in the fridge. When ready to cook, I sprinkle some Italian bread crumbs ever so lightly. Add a bit of olive oil and butter in a pan and cook until the shrimp turn their pinkish-salmon color. It's my own recipe and it's to die for. I normally serve with a simple angel hair pasta. These are wonderful served cold too.
    You could try allrecipes.com..they have all kinds of ideas for shrimp. Just put in what ur looking into the search engine on their site.

    Can we substitute chocolate chips with cooking chocolate in recipes?

    For example, if the recipe askes for 3 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips, can we use 3 ounces of semi sweet cooking chocolate or if it asks for unsweetened chocolate chips can we use unsweetened cooking chocolate? I'm asking in the case when you have to melt the chocolate chips, so it's not like the chocolate chips will show. I hope someone helps. Thanks in advance.Can we substitute chocolate chips with cooking chocolate in recipes?
    If you chop the chocolate to pieces, then you can substitute with cooking chocolate. The idea of the chocolate is just to have small melted pieces in the ready baked recipe. There is not difference between Chocolate chips and Cooking chocolate.Can we substitute chocolate chips with cooking chocolate in recipes?
    there is to a difference in chocolate chips and cooking chocolate. don't use cooking chocolate unless it calls for it. cooking chocolate is very bitter and will turn whatever u r making to crap even if you add more sugar to make up for bitterness. Report Abuse

    Also remember that the chips contain a special wax in it which will provide for an inferior mouth feel, but more importantly the chips (whether they've been melted down or not) are able to withstand baking temperatures. Report Abuse

    Absolutely. It's the same stuff. It'll just take longer to melt the cooking chocolate because the pieces are bigger.
    as long as you replace semi-sweet for semi-sweet or unsweetened for unsweetened then yes, its just that they are in different forms before they melt
    As far as I know, it is the same stuff. The only difference is the chips are made into cute shapes for mixing in recipes, so that you will not have to break, chunk, or shave the bar up.
    No. Cooking chocolate has a completely different taste because they are unsweetened- meaning VERY bitter. Try it a small square of the cooking chocolate... I did that once when I was little and I've never made that mistake again!
    Absolutely because thats what they are made of anyway except for the fancy shapes. Go for it , Yum.!
    Yes there is a difference you will need to use about 1/4 cup sugar because the cooking chocolate is usually unsweetened and disgusting eaten plain and the chips you can eat like candy
    Oh yeah! Heck id even mix a little milk and suger into the melted chocalate (my personnal taste), or maybe even a little half and half. be creative its fun and people have seemed to forgotten how to do that anymore. now dont ruin what your makeing, but have fun
    yes you can but it will not taste as good as the sweet chocolate chips
