Ham with Honey and Brown Sugar Glaze





1 (5 pound) fully cooked sliced ham


1/4 cup whole cloves


1 cup pineapple juice


1 cup brown sugar


1/2 cup honey


2 oranges, juiced








Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


Place the ham in a roasting pan and dot with cloves. In a saucepan combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey and orange juice. Stir and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour the glaze over the ham.


Bake the ham uncovered for 1 hour in the preheated oven.
Chedder is right on the money.





I like to use Ginger ale rather then pineapple juice. Just a different twist...

This is one of my husband's favorites:





4 boneless chicken breast (trim all the yuck off of them)


a small jar of salsa


shredded taco cheese





Take your chicken breast and dip in flour, egg and then bread crumbs, Brown in a skillet in olive oil to litely browned. Transfer to 9 x 13 baking dish, top with a few spoonfuls of salsa and top with cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until chicken runs clear juice. Take the foil off the dish the last 10 minutes of baking, to brown cheese.
Parmesan crusted chicken


put some italian seasoned bread crumbs in a bowl (about a cup or so)- add some grated parmesean cheese (about 1/4 cup) and mix it


in another bowl beat an egg and a little milk


dip the chicken breast in the egg milk mixture then in the bread crumb mixture


place on a baking sheet and pop in the oven - bake for about 15 mins on each side or until done - sprinkle some grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top - and bake for about 5 more mins to melt the cheese - add some tomato pasta sauce if you want
put your oven on 375, in an oven proof cassarole put bottled italian dressing, about a quarter inch up the sides of the dish, place your chicken on top of the dressing, i use boneless skinless chicken breasts, pour more dressing over the chicken to coat it well, bake till done, its great, we use this recipe all the time, even on the grill.......
If you have boneless chicken breasts, I like to season them with salt and pepper and some cajun spice. Pan fry until the juices run clear - about 4-6 Min's each side depending on the thickness of the breast. Let rest a few Min's so that the juices don't run out when you cut into the chicken. Serve with some rice and enjoy.
I like to marinade the chicken breasts in Cesar Salad dressing for about an hour or so. Then you put them in a 375 degree preheated oven in glass baking dish with some of the marinade (about 1/4 inch or so) and bake it for about 45 minutes or so. Some box rice and froze veggies and your done.
I have put chicken in an oven pan, covered it in cream of mushroom soup for the simplest thing, and bake it at 350 for an hour. I also have bought those Campbells bakes. Its in a box, and you just folow simple directions. It includes a stuffing, or rice and is all in one pan.



Bread your chicken in bread crumbs. Then brown until done. get a baking dish and spread half a jar of spaghetti sauce on the bottom place chicken on top of that and then add the rest of the sauce over the chicken. add mozzarella to the top and bake 30 min and 350. Then serve over spaghetti noodles.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts, dip in melted butter, sprinkle with crushed frosted flakes cereal, put in 350 degree oven until juice run clear (about 30 minutes).

Skillet Baked Ziti


from the Episode: Easy Skillet Suppers








To complete this recipe in 30 minutes, preheat your oven before assembling your ingredients. If your skillet is not ovensafe, transfer the pasta mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish before sprinkling with the cheese and baking. Packaged pre-shredded mozzarella is a real time-saver here. Penne can also be used here.





Serves 4 1 tablespoon olive oil


6 garlic cloves , minced


1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes


Table salt and ground black pepper


1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes


3 cups water


12 ounces ziti (3 3/4 cups)


1/2 cup heavy cream


1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves


1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese





Making the Minutes Count: Measure the water and the pasta before you begin cooking. Prep the Parmesan and basil while the pasta cooks.





1. Heat Oven: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees.





2. Simmer Ziti: Combine oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 12-inch, ovensafe nonstick skillet and saut茅 over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, water, ziti, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as needed to maintain vigorous simmer, until ziti is almost tender, 15 to 18 minutes.





3. Add Cheese and Bake: Stir in cream, Parmesan, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over ziti. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Serve.

Your sweet Joe. Let me say that i am sure she'll love anything.. I know I would !





Chicken Linguini Alfredo is great and simple


you will need


1 box of linguini


1/2(or whole) boneless/skinless chicken breast


box of oscar myer already cooked bacon


small head of broccolli


Ragu Alfado sauce(white sauce) (in with the red sauces)





Cook your chicken breast on medium heat with a little olive oil on the pan. Season the chicken with just a pitch of salt ( a pitch of galic salt if you have it) Some cracked pepper





While the chicken is cooking bool your water. Once at a boil add linguini, Only keep it in for about 3 mins. Just soften it. NOT mush





You can cook the broccoli ahead of time by just cutting into quarter size pieces and gently boil. Not mush. Put them to the side.


Same with the bacon. 2-3 slices in the microwave for 15 secs. and put to the side.





When the chicken is cooked cut into slices.





Serve.


Noodle... place chicken on top with broccoli pour hot sauce over the top.


Sprinkle crushed bacon pieces on the top.


Add a crusty bread to the side with your favorite wine !!





GL. and Great Job for being so thoughtful !!
If she likes noodle she'll like spaghetti :-)





Buy: 500gr spaghetti ( you'll need just over half of that for two pax) fresh cherry tomatoes ( 300gr), fresh basil, garlic, pitted plain olives ( you'll need about.... 18!, pamesan.





Time : 15minutes


Put a nice large amount of water to boil and add some salt when it does (ex 5 litres to boil, one and a half table spoon of salt).


Cut the cherry tomatoes, put some olive oil in a frying pan, about 25,30 ml of olive oil ( like a shot of alcohol quantity), when the oil is hot, not fuming when you see smoke the oil is burned, change it and do it again. Anyway, warm oil, whole pieces of garlic, for two people one piece cut in two. If you are cooking for your date, the last thing you want is to exaggerate with strong stuff like onion, garlic and spices, trust me... the breathe will smell, even the sweat...


anyway... before the garlic burns, add the chopped tomatoes and stear for 5 min. Now Put the spaghetti in the water. Add the olives in the tomatoes. Cook the spaghetti, steering them ( a must) for one or two minute LESS then the instruction on the packet. Drain the pasta, ( please never rinse it... ) add the pasta in the Pan with the sauce ( if it's big enough), cook it for that one minute with the sauce, put it now on the two plate, top with the sauce left at the end of the pan, add the fresh basil leaves, some parmesan and enjoy it!!!!
Chinese stir frys are very quick and easy. Chicken and Broccoli or snow peas is really good. Start up a pot of water and boil it. Cook angel hair pasta or a thin spaghetti to the package directions. Drain, put aside. Cube chicken and dust with flour. Take the broccoli and cut off the rough stems. Or if using snow peas, destring them. Put in 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and heat. Take the cube chicken and cook in oil until brown, about 2-3 mins. Remove chicken. Take the vegetables and stir fry in the oil with 1/2 cup water until tender, not mushy. Re add the chicken and heat slightly. Take 1/2 cup of soy sauce to 2 tablespoons of corn starch and mix in a bowl until combined(add more soy sauce or water if too drysalty). Add to the chicken and veggie until thickened. Plate up with the pasta and serve.

Enjoy!





Simple Chicken Pepperoni





You will need:





1) A 10';x14'; casserole dish (8';x8'; will do in a pinch),





2) 2 cans (10 3/4 oz.) of Cream of Chicken Soup ,





3) 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) of Campbell's Ranchero Tomato Soup ,





4) 1 small package of sliced pepperoni ,





5)1 package of dry onion soup mix ,





6) 2 medium sized red peppers ,





7) 1 medium sized green pepper ,





8) 1 large Vidalia onion ,





9) 4 BONELESS chicken breast (completely thawed, if necessary), 9) Corn oil Spray (Pam or the like),





10) A package of flavored rice (Lipton Side Rices are great but, don't go way out on a limb. Stick with Chicken flavor, Rice Pilaf or something along those lines)





First rinse of your chicken and take a sharp knife and trim away anything that you wouldn't want to eat (fat etc.) and set aside. Next, take your three peppers (both red and green) and cut the top off of each, just below the stem. Discard the stems and slice each pepper down the middle from top to bottom. Take each pepper half and, using a standard table spoon, scrap out the seeds and the lighter colored portions of the interior of the peppers. Slice these peppers LENGTHWISE in 1/4'; wide strips. When you are done, pile your peppers up, facing basically the same direction and chop across them, making them, each, 1/2 of their original length. Set aside. After that prepare your onion by slicing 1/4'; off both the top and the bottom. Peel the outer skin of the onion off and then slice it WIDTHWISE into 4 or 5 equal portions (1/4'; more or less). Lay these slices flat and slice the ';circles'; into 4 equal ';triangles';. Crumple these up a bit and set aside. In a bowl (large enough to hold three cans of soup), empty your two cans of Cream of Chicken soup, 1/2 of your can of Ranchero Tomato soup and 1/3 to 1/2 of your onion soup mix packet. Mix, with a large spoon, until the color is consistent. Set aside. After that, set your oven at 350 degrees and let it pre-heat.





While your oven is pre-heating, spray the inside of your casserole dish with your corn oil spray, making sure that it is completely covered but not runny. At this stage, take your sliced pepperoni and cover the bottom of your casserole dish. The pepperoni pieces can overlap a bit but, basically lay out the pieces like tile, completely covering the bottom of the dish. Take your onions and peppers and evenly distribute them over the pepperoni. Pour half of your soup mixture over the top of the dish contents. Place your chicken breasts, flat and evenly spaced, over the vegetables. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the top of the chicken and cover the dish tightly with tin foil (with the smaller dish you may need to compress the mixture a bit). Place dish on the shelf closest to the middle of the oven and leave for at least two hours. NOTE-If your dish seems overly full, press the mixture down some and include a cookie sheet or tin foil under your dish in the oven! As the vegetables cook the mixture will ';fit'; the dish better.





After your two hours is up, extract the dish and remove the tin foil and leave aside to cool for 15 minutes. While you are waiting, cook your rice according to package directions (these things are tough to mess up) and put the finished product in a nice serving bowl. Transport the food to the table, light some candles and wait for the complements!



Can anyone help me with a simple recipe for grilling steak?

My husband loves steak... and I've never cooked anything with steak before because I don't eat red meat. I have some leftover barbecue shrimp from last night also. Any ideas??Can anyone help me with a simple recipe for grilling steak?
Au Jus Base, we found this at our local meat market. You mix it with water and marinate your steak in it for a couple hours before grilling


You do not need to add other seasonings when grilling. This keeps the steak nice and juicy and is flavorful. Can also be added to meatloaf., burger, etc You can go online and google Le Gout Au Jus Base and find out where you can find it in your area. Enjoy


.Can anyone help me with a simple recipe for grilling steak?
6 each baby artichokes, blanched until tender, quartered


1 tbsp. olive oil


1 sm. white onion, peeled and cut into large dice


7 each Kalamata olives, pits removed, quartered


4 each red cherry tomatoes, quartered


4 each yellow cherry tomatoes, quartered


1 tsp. fresh oregano, finely chopped


Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste





Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the oil and gently saute the onions until translucent. Add the cooked baby artichokes, olives, tomatoes, and oregano. Saute briefly until heated thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.





POLENTA:





3 c. water


1 c. stone ground corn meal


1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated


1 tbsp. olive oil





Mix 1 cup of water with corn meal. Allow to stand 20 minutes. Combine the remainder of the water with the corn meal in a heavy bottomed pot. Stir with a wooden spoon for 20 minutes over low heat.





Add the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Spread evenly, 1/2 inch thick, in a baking dish. Allow to cool. The consistency should be dense and very firm with no lumps. Refrigerate. When cold cut into 3 inch squares. Set aside until final assembly.





BEEF:





4 each filet Mignon or sirloin steak


1/4 c. olive oil


Salt and pepper to taste





Brush the meat with oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the meat quickly for 2 to 3 minutes per side for rare to medium rare.





ROSEMARY SAUCE:





1 oz. olive oil


8 oz. shank, trimmed of all fat


1 each onion


1 each carrot and tomato, chopped


3 sprigs, rosemary, stripped


2 sprigs thyme, stripped


3 each bay leaves


8 each garlic cloves, chopped


8 each peppercorns


2 c. white wine


1 qt. strong veal stock


2 sprigs rosemary stripped





Tie the rosemary, thyme bay leaves and peppercorns in cheesecloth sachet. Saute shank in olive oil until brown, add onion and carrot, continue browning. Add sachet and wine and reduce UNTIL ALMOST DRY. Add demi glace, reduce on a low flame.





Add 2 more sprigs of chopped rosemary. Allow to steep 5 minutes. Strain. The sauce should be the weight of heavy maple syrup and have a deep, rich, flavor.





The stewed meat and vegetables may be served with a little of the sauce for lunch or dinner another day. The sauce is now ready to be served over the beef.





FINAL ASSEMBLY:





Just after grilling the beef, place the polenta squares on the grill and brown on both sides. Allow the beef to rest while reheating the vegetables.
This is how to make a good steak.





Start with a decent piece of meat, A rib eye is pretty good.





Season the meat with salt and pepper. The very most you should put on it is a Montreal type steak seasoning. I like to stick mine back in the fridge for a bit.





Then remove from the fridge about 30 min before you cook it. YES, it is safe. This allows the meat to come to room temp so you don't shock the meat as much when you put it on the hot surface. Shocking the meat to much may make it tough.





From here you have a couple of options:





1. Heat a skillet up good and hot then add some fat. Oil, butter (is okay), or even bacon fat. Put the steak down and do not touch it. The meat is pretty cool. It will release from the pan when it has a nice golden brown color to it. Then flip. Brown it up on the second and side and reduce the heat if you want it cooked further.





2. Brown on both sides as stated above but then slide into the broiler if you skillet if oven safe use that, if not then put it in a broiler pan. And finish under the broiler.





3. Grill over a medium-ish hot indirect heat.





Remember a few more tips:





1. NEVER overcook a steak. Anything over medium is over cooking your steak and even medium is pushing the limits a bit. A weel done steak is a ruined steak and you may as well just toss your money in the trash.





2. Let the steak rest so that the stea will still be juicy from the first bite to the last bite.





3. Don't forget about carry over cooking, as the steak rests. Due to residual heat in the meatthe steak will cook a bit more as it rests.





I know that someone will say that you shouldn;t add salt before cooking bacuase it will dry it out. That is not true. I have always salted my steak and roasts before cooking and never had anything dry. Adding salt before cooking does Not dry it out but rather gives good flavor.











Serve the shrimp cold with cockttail sauce for a surf and turf dinner.
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to grill them, after 15 minutes, season both sides well with kosher salt.





Heat the grill to medium-high. Oil a paper towel and using tongs, run the oiled towel across the grill grate.





Place the steaks on the grill angled at the 10:00 position and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the steaks to the 2:00 position and grill another 2 minutes. Flip the steaks over (admire your perfect grill marks) and grill for 3 more minutes.





Remove the steaks to a clean plate and top each with a tablespoon of butter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes.





Serve the steaks and pass the peppermill
Steak doesn't really need much help.....I like to marinate mine with Lawry's....but if I had a really fabulous piece of meat I would just put some salt, pepper, and maybe a lil bit of garlic on it.....maybe a pat of butter on the top......
Make Steak Kabobs. Alternate pieces of steak and shrimp (and vegetables or potatoes) on a bamboo skewer, then smother in BBQ sauce and grill.

1 12 oz can pineapple juice


4 tablespoons sesame seed oil


2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar


2 tablespoons fresh parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried)


1/2 teaspoon rosemary


1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper


1/8 teaspoon salt

my all time favourite!





Dijon herb dressing














olive oil about 150ml or more depending on how much you are serving.





3 tbsp balsamic vinegar (you could probably use cider vinegar)





1 and a half tbsp dijon mustard





quarter tsp salt and pepper (add more after tasting if you want)





tsp of basil (dried) or fresh(1 8th of a cup )





1 tbsp of thyme


1 tbsp oregano














and if you dont have the herbs they are really cheap to buy from the shops.








its best served with celery, lettuce, sliced ham, cheese(wensleydale)!





hope you like it :)

I think you and I maybe talking about the same thing in as far as ';lemon dressing'; Anyway those are the same things I work with. Mayo + sugar + lemon juice. or Mayo + sugar + vinegar. Sometimes I add ketsup or mustard. I sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder on the lettuce itself. After your garlic salt has run out please purchase garlic powder and never ever buy anymore garlic salt. Now try this lettuce+ walnuts,+ apple quarters or chunks + mayo + sugar . this is a sweet salad.Maybe buy some sour cream and try that for a different flavor. Other than that I dont know. I usually work with simple ingredience too. Guess you and I will have to buy some Dijon mustard and some balsamic vinegar.Good luck.
Simple Russian Dressing: Mayonnaise, ketchup to turn in pink, and a couple drops of pickle juice.





If you use coleslaw dressing instead of mayo, you will have the British version called Marie Rose Dressing. Perfect for avocado %26amp; shrimp salad.





With your list of ingredients, mix cider vinegar with oil. Use a fork to whisk in dijon mustard, ground black pepper and parmesan cheese... and a small amount of honey. Great on chicken salad.
This has always been one of my favorites, only takes me about 2min to make








-2 tablespoons of salt


-3 tablespoons of water


-2 cups of canola oil


- 3 teaspoons of Purel hand sanitizer


-1 tablespoon of pepper


-3 cups of water


-1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce


-2 teaspoons of baby powder





that's it! enjoy, its easy and quick! :)
Measure Ingredient


1陆 teaspoon Grated Lemon Peel


鈪?teaspoon Instant Minced Garlic


陆 teaspoon Pepper


1 teaspoon Oregano


2 tablespoons Graded Parmesan Cheese





Combine all ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Put mixture in a foil packet or 1-pint glass jar and lable as Caesar Salad Dressing Mix. Store in a cool dry place and use within 3 to 4 months.
These are all the healthiest ones i know.


ready made ones that are my favorite are kraft calorie wise italian, greek feta, or balsamic.





My 2 favorites are balsamic vinegar and/or salsa.





Any type of fruit, whole, pureed or fruit juice. And lastly mustard.





If you want to make them taste even better and thicker add olive oil.





Add salt and fresh pepper. Other seasonings are good too like greek spice.

Optional: Instead of using a cake mix, you can prepare the batter from scratch using the recipe below, or any recipe for yellow cake. Also, if you do not have the cherries, you can leave them out. If you are using a cast iron skillet you can bake in it, pouring the batter over the sugar and pineapple., if using a cake dish just transfer the sugar and cherries to the cake pan








Scratch Cake:





1 cup flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 eggs


2/3 cup sugar

You can get at the grocery store a pre-made graham cracker crust pie shell and they now sell the philadephia cream cheese cheesecake filing already made. Its an easy dessert that is great. Also anything with fresh berries is always yummy. The grocery store sells the pre-made tarts that you can just scoop berries and whipped cream onto. Hope this helps!

first of all, i saw a thing on the home page of Yahoo that said the iPhones have been having malfunctions maybe your phone is one of the screwed up ones? Anyway, i like to make this thing called Nilla Wafer Bread Pudding. you just crunch up some nilla wafers until you have about a third of a cup, then dump those in the bottom of a 8x8 pan. Then pour over some prepared (but not set...it still needs to be runny) pudding. the flavors i like are banana, vanilla, and cheesecake.

  • Can someone suggest a simple dessert recipe using sweetened condensed milk?

    OK- this is one of my favorite cakes- but the actual name of it is ';Better Than Sex Cake II';- It really is good~ You can use toffee chips instead of the candy bar





    INGREDIENTS


    1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix


    1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk


    6 ounces caramel ice cream topping


    3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee, chopped


    1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed





    DIRECTIONS


    Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.


    In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended. Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)


    Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!Can someone suggest a simple dessert recipe using sweetened condensed milk?

    Beef vegetable stew.





    1 lb cut up beef roast (top round,bottom round, chuck or arm roast works well). Brown this in the bottom of a large stew pot in butter or oil and a little worchestershire or soy sauce if desired. Add peeled cut up potatoes that have been parboiled in another pot (cooked until still just a little hard) or canned will work if you're in a hurry. Add any variety of canned or frozen vegetables you like-corn,peas green beans, lima beans, carrots. Pour a large can of either tomato juice or beef stock over all this, bring to a strong simmer and cook until potatoes and frozen veg are cooked. You can also add any herbs and spices you like-garlic, basil and rosemary go well.


    Good luck with learning to cook-just use your imagination and you'll be making all kinds of stuff in no time.

    The idea of cooking is very frightening to many ... but you MUST get into the kitchen and start to get over the fright. First to make is something terribly simple, like spaghetti with canned sauce. First, start the sauce heating on medium heat. Next, fill the BIG pot with water to 3'; below the edge. Add three 'shakes' of salt one teaspoon of oil and set to boil. Measure your pasta, by servings and set aside. Stir the sauce and turn it down to medium low if it's bubbling, and cover. When the water starts boiling, add the pasta ... and note the time. Stir the pasta to separate it in the water. Cut a loaf of unsliced 'artisan' bread not quite through, and butter one side of each piece, add sliced garlic (you may 'mix' the garlic and butter before to make it easier, or you may use extra virgin olive oil with garlic mixed into it, for a 'low calorie' bread) and wrap in foil. Place in the center of the oven at 350 degrees. After 7 minutes from putting the pasta into the water, it should be 'done' (some may take 10 minutes ... read the package for time). Put a colander into the sink and pour the pasta and water into it, so the water goes away and the pasta is drained. Separate onto plates. Pour the heated sauce onto the plates. LET SIT for about three minutes, while the bread heats ... then remove the bread, put it IN THE FOIL that is folded back onto a plate or in a basket ... serve. People will MARVEL at your cooking ability ... and it's truly SIMPLE ... if you want to add meat, you may, just be sure the meat is thoroughly cooked before you add it to the sauce ... leftover steak, crumbled hamburger, chicken ... ANY meat works well with this and makes it 'special' ... serve with a green salad (add tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and mushrooms, and serve with a vinaigrette dressing) for a 'feast' ...
    Try here they'll even show you how to do it ....
