Here's a recipe from that book. Fantastic, full of flavor. I made minor changes like using frozen corn instead of cobs.<br />

<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<br />
3c chicken stock (I may have added more, but I don't remember)<br />
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts<br />
1/4c butter<br />
2 onions, chopped<br />
4oz chopped bacon (I probably used more.... I mean, it's bacon, right?)<br />
1/4c flour<br />
4 cobs corn (or frozen equivalent)<br />
1 1/4c milk<br />
14oz can lima (butter) beans, drained<br />
3 tbsp shopped fresh parsley<br />
salt and pepper, to taste<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
Bring the chicken stock to boil in a large pan. Add the chicken and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and cook 12-15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Reserve the stock.<br />
<br />
Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook 4-5 minutes until softened but not brown.<br />
<br />
Add the bacon and cook for 5-6 minutes, until beginning to brown. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring continuously.<br />
<br />
Gradually stir in the hot stock and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat.<br />
<br />
Add the corn and half the milk. Cook for 12-15 minutes until corn is tender.<br />
<br />
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and stir into the soup. Stir in the beans and remaining milk. Cook for another five minutes. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08295029689941075557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5178422827149772161.post-73230959600322089622016-05-22T11:42:00.001-04:002016-05-22T11:45:35.758-04:00Recipe #332: Tuna Noodle CasseroleI found a good starting recipe on allrecipes.com and then modified the hell out of it.

Flip and grill the other side until white and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes more. (It’s OK if it breaks apart while you’re flipping.) Transfer the fish to a plate.</li>

Slice the remaining lime halves into wedges and serve with the tacos. To construct a taco, break up some of the cooked fish, place it in a warm tortilla, and top it with slaw and any optional garnishes.</li>

It's a tad on the salty side, but I wouldn't change a thing. I served it over mashed potatoes. Allrecipes.com provided this one, and I made a couple changes.<br />

I currently have a list of twelve recipes that are definite keepers, so I'll blog them in a big marathon for the ones I have pictures for.... the others will need to be made again so I can get images for them! (What torture, having to eat such delicious things again...)<br />
<br />
This recipe was one of my favorites. I was so proud of myself after this one, even though I will tell you it's actually super easy- just LOOKS fancy. It was my first time making rack of lamb.<br />
<br />
This is from http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/herb-crusted-rack-of-lamb.aspx<br />
Not sure I prepped the lamb right, but I don't care- it turned out fantastic regardless!<br />

</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 475°F. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Season the lamb with salt and pepper. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Combine the garlic, parsley, thyme, and breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Moisten the mixture with enough olive oil to make the mixture hold together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Heat a large dry skillet over high heat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Put the lamb, meat side down, in the skillet. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With tongs, hold the lamb against the skillet for a minute to give it a nice brown crust. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Turn the meat to sear it on all sides for a total of 4 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remove the meat from the skillet and paint the meaty side of the rack with the mustard. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Roll the meat in the herb mixture to coat it. Sear and coat the second rack in the same way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Transfer the racks to a roasting pan just large enough to hold them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cover the rib bones with strips of foil so they don't burn and roast until medium rare, 20 to 25 minutes (120°F internal temperature). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want a crispier crust, finish cooking under the broiler for 2 minutes. Let the racks rest for 5 minutes before carving.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Use a carving knife to cut between the rib bones. Arrange the chops on warm serving plates. Serve hot. (The chops will cool quickly, so the best strategy is to carve the racks at the table.)</div>

I stumbled across this http://www.chef-in-training.com/ recipe and knew I had to try it. Once it was done cooking, although it smelled good, I was worried it might be bland. I was dead wrong; it was very much the opposite! It's messy like a sloppy joe, but tastes just like a philly cheesesteak. I love the cheese sauce. Maybe next time, I'll add mushrooms.<br />

This recipe is SO delicious and very easy to assemble. I found this on http://www.gogogogourmet.com/ and the only changes I made was to the dipping sauce. I doubled it and added sour cream when it was too spicy for our tastes.<br />

Start by marinating the beef: mix all ingredients in a bowl, add the pieces of beef and stir to coat the slices. Let it stand for 10 minutes, while you prepare the sauce and blanch the broccoli.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: droid-serif-1, droid-serif-2, serif; font-size: 15.3px; line-height: 28.2438px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Make the sauce by mixing the oyster sauce, rice wine (or sherry), soy sauce, and chicken stock (or water) in a small bowl. Reserve. Place the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain very well and reserve.</div>

Now, the fun begins: heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and instantly evaporates upon contact. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the yellow bell pepper and cook it for a couple of minutes until it begins to soften. Remove and reserve. Make sure the pan is again very hot, and add the slices of beef, spreading them out all over the surface of the wok or pan in a single layer (preferably not touching). Let the beef fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Flip the beef slices over, add the garlic and reserved bell pepper to the pan and fry for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the beef is cooked through.</div>

Pour in the sauce, add the blanched broccoli and bring to a boil. Pour in the dissolved cornstarch and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens, 30 seconds.</div>

I haven't posted since May. That's a good sign though- I've been crazy busy this summer! Yes, I have made a few new recipes, and it's time to go back through my Facebook pictures to see some of the shots I took of them so I can blog them properly. Tonight I found a recipe on Eating Well that I adapted for what I had in the kitchen, and it's AMAZING, so I am kicking my blog back into gear with that one!<br />

It was awhile before I finally planned it out, for whatever reason- I regret waiting so long. FANTASTIC!! So much flavor!! I adjusted the amounts for 2 fillets that were about a half pound each, but I'm leaving measurements here how the recipe originally had them. Adjust according to your needs.<br />

<br />
<b>INGREDIENTS:</b><br />
<br />
One 4 1/2-pound wild salmon fillet with
skin<br />
Kosher salt<br />
Freshly ground white pepper<span style="color: red;"> (I only had black)</span><br />
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced<br />
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (1
cup)<br />
1/2 cup chopped dill<br />
1/4 cup minced shallot<br />
2 tablespoons dry white wine<br />
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />
<br />
<b>DIRECTIONS;</b><br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 450°. Lay the salmon skin side down on
a large rimmed baking sheet. Season the salmon with salt
and white pepper and dot with the butter. Roast the salmon
in the upper third of the oven for 8 minutes, until just
starting to brown on top.<br />
<br />
Remove the salmon from the oven
and preheat the broiler. Set the rack 6 inches from the heat.
In a medium bowl, using a fork, blend the cheese with the dill,
shallot, wine and lemon juice. Dot the mixture evenly over
the salmon fillet and broil for 10 to 12 minutes, until the
salmon is golden brown on top and just cooked through.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08295029689941075557noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5178422827149772161.post-14495611313980512002015-03-29T20:40:00.001-04:002015-03-29T20:40:41.319-04:00Recipe #216: Carne Asada TacosI don't know what took me so long to find a recipe for carne asada. I've had some great versions of it at different restaurants and looked forward to making this fresh dish myself. I made a couple changes (in red) to the recipe I found on allrecipes.com. This is definitely worth putting in the permanent rotation of regular favorites!<br />

It's is a Martha Stewart recipe that I modified based on what I already had in the kitchen, and I love how it turned out- I would keep my version of the recipe for next time. Feeds two and is an easy but delicious one-pot meal. I made this in my French pot, my favorite cooking tool in the kitchen!<br />

It was so fresh and moist baking it this way. The bones are a little annoying, but the work is worth it for how flavorful this turned out. The trout was already gutted and cleaned, so it was a simple dish to make.<br />

Her high praise wasn't for nothing- this is delicious. I used four mini loaves of ciabatta and a whole stick of butter. I also found a bottle of balsamic glaze at the store instead of having to make it myself. This is from twopeasandtheirpod.com.<br />

1 loaf ciabatta bread, horizontally cut in half<br />4 tablespoons salted butter<br />3 cloves garlic, minced<br />12 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced<br />1/2 cup balsamic vinegar<br />2 medium tomatoes, sliced<br />Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<br />1/3 cup chopped fresh basil</div>

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place both sides of the baguette on a large baking sheet with the cut side up.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
2. In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic and spread evenly on bread halves. Place the mozzarella cheese slices on top of the bread, making sure the cheese covers the bread completely. Bake the bread for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
3. While the bread is in the oven, make the balsamic reduction. Place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring the vinegar to a boil, decrease the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by about half. This should only take about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
4. Remove the bread from oven. Top the bread with tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Cut into slices and serve.</div>

I love the sweetness from the syrup and the hint of cinnamon. They fell right off the bone. The changes I made was to double the sauce PLUS one extra tablespoon of maple syrup, because I had more than 1.5lbs of meat (2.7lbs, to be exact). I also used half of a fresh onion instead of dehydrated.<br />

I'd only had it in restaurants previously, but now this is going to be a staple in my own kitchen. So easy, but restaurant quality. This one is from simplyrecipes.com.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pan that has a lid. When the oil is hot, add the sausages and brown them slowly. If they sizzle and crackle too much, turn the heat down. You want a gentle browning, not a sear. Cook for several minutes, turning them occasionally so they brown on all sides. When the sausages are browned, remove from the pan and set aside.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Increase the heat to high and add the onions and peppers. Toss so they get coated with the oil in the pan and sear them as well as you can, stirring every so often. You want some blackening. Once the onions and peppers soften, sprinkle some salt on them. Once you get some searing on the onions and peppers, add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add the Marsala or red wine if you are using, and with a wooden spoon scrape the bottom of the pan to release all the browned and blackened bits. Let the wine cook down by half.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add the tomatoes, oregano and red pepper flakes (if using) and stir well to combine. Add the sausages back in. Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the peppers are soft the sausages are cooked through, about 20 minutes.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Serve over polenta, or with penne pasta, or load up in a hoagie roll. </div>
