baked red potatoes, chilled, peeled and grated into hash browns (you can use 3 cups thawed frozen hash browns, but i really prefer to make my own and it s really so easy), melted butter, salt , garlic and pepper to taste, mix ingredients together ; press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of 6 heavily buttered deep custard cups (i used my non-stick popover tins). i feel that the butter helped release my hash brown cups better than cooking spray would have, but you can try the spray if you prefer. i also think the butter helped brown the hash browns as they baked. don tsp press the hash browns too thin, or you ll have trouble releasing the finished product., bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the hash browns begin to brown., meat mixture, sausage links (i used 4 precooked patties, diced), onion, diced, red pepper, seeded and diced, grated cheese of your choice (i used a mexican cheese blend), any other filling choices you may want , but remember you have limited space in the hash brown cups, fry the sausage , onion and red pepper in about a tbsp of butter until cooked through., layer the meat mixture in the bottom of the partially cooked hash brown cups., sprinkle the cheese over the meat mixture. top with egg filling., egg filling, eggs, half and half or heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper to taste, a pinch of cayenne for some heat, optional, grated cheese of your choice (i used a mexican cheese blend), chopped fresh chives or green onion, for topping at serving, whisk together the egg mixture (except the additional cheese) and pour over the meat and cheese layer in each hash brown cup - don tsp overfill, as this filling will puff up while baking and you don tsp want it to overrun the sides of the baking dishes. top with more grated cheese.

pork chops , i cut then about 3/4-inch thick (bone in will offer a bit more flavor, but i cut mine myself from a large pork loin, but you can also), flour (all purpose is fine), vegetable oil (canola oil will work, olive oil to me is a bit too strong), butter, italian seasoning (any all purpose seasoning will work , but stay away from seasoning salt), salt, pepper, onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced, cremini mushrooms (you can use a bit more if you like), garlic, minced, chicken broth (you can add a bit more if you like the sauce a bit thinner), white wine, sherry wine, bay leaf, fresh thyme , just pulled off the stem, fresh rosemary, fine chopped, fresh parsley, corn starch (mixed with a little of the broth, this is just used if you want to thicken the sauce), salt, pepper, butter, olive oil, scallions, fine chopped (mostly green parts)

this recipe yields calamari lighter in color than most restaurant versions , so keep this in mind when frying. follow the cooking time, not the color, and you will have perfectly cooked squid. while we love the texture and visual appeal of the tentacles, not everyone does; most fishmongers will gladly sell only bodies if you so desire. before slicing the squid, check the bodies for beaks the fishmonger might have missed. they look and feel like pieces of transparent plastic. for a specialty native to federal hill, the italian neighborhood in providence, rhode island, toss the fried calamari with thinly sliced rings of jarred pepperoncini. the spicy bite of the peppers and the tanginess of the brine are surprisingly good with fried squid. for the best results, clip a candy/deep-fry thermometer to the side of the saucepan to monitor the temperature of the oil., unbleached all-purpose flour, fine-ground cornmeal, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, egg whites, squid , bodies sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings, tentacles left whole, vegetable oil for frying, lemon , cut into wedges

sour cream, a small 12 oz package of your fave shreaded cheese. i generally use the mexican blend , but whatever cheese you would like to use will work., hidden valley ranch packet, must say dips., a jar of the bacon pieces. the 1 i use is made by hormel , but i find the bacon pieces does so much better than bacon bits. (which the reciepe called for.)

elbow macaroni- cooked according to package directions (you can actually use more macaroni if you want and it will still turn out nicely and serve even more), mayonnaise, prepared mustard (i use yellow ), white vinegar, granulated sugar, peas (drained ), albacore tuna (drained ), hardboiled egg, sliced (optional)
