you will need : this is my own version....it doesn tsp include boiled parsnips, which are often used., chicken breasts,cooked, diced, baking potatoes, cooked,diced, carrots,boiled,diced, diced pickles, frozen peas, ex large eggs, boiled,diced, mustard, salt and pepper to taste, mayonnaise, extra ingredients for boiling chicken, if you want to make a stock, use the rib-in type of chicken breast...the ones with the rib bone attached. the bones impart a ton of flavor to the stock.you can then just remove the breast meat to use in the salad. if you don tsp want to make any stock, just use regular chicken breast. ), onion, celery stalks, carrots, parsnip (optional), use parsley , olives, reserved boiled vegetables, egg etc., important : if you would like to decorate your salad, remember to reserve some vegetables,egg,etc., boil potatoes in their skins in salted water till fork tender ., boil eggs till hard. set aside. place chicken breasts in a pot with water(sort of like making a soup). water doesn tsp have to be exact but you should have plenty(maybe 6-8 cups). place about 2-3 carrots, a stalk or two of celery and 1 onion. add some salt ( about 1 tbsp kosher salt). bring to boil and then simmer till carrots are tender and chicken is cooked. remove chicken and carrots to use for the potato salad. you can reserve the stock for a soup or freeze in small containers to use later in pan sauces, etc., dice chicken , potatoes, carrots(parsnip too, if you are using), and eggs. dice pickles and squeeze them a bit to remove some of their juice(this helps so that your salad doesn tsp become too watery). place frozen peas in a colander.place under running warm water to defrost them . drain completely and add to the rest of the diced ingredients., add mustard and pepper and 1 cup mayo., mix till combined taste for seasoning ., add more mayo to the mixture until it is tuna salad-like(for a lack of a better term) . you might need the full 2 cups. this depends on preference...use less if you don tsp want it too creamy or use more if you like it creamier. place in a nice serving dish and spread a thin layer of mayo...decorate with reserved vegetables(egg, carrots, peas, pickles, parsley, olives, chopped eggs...). since i didn tsp have too much time to decorate, wasn tsp planning on posting, and forgot to reserve some vegetables, i kept it rather simple.

italian dressing (i used store bought to make this easy, but you can make your favorite as well), garlic, minced, capers (mashed , just use a fork to mash them), salami, sliced 1/8-inch thick cut into cubes, cheese filled tortellini, cooked and drained (i prefer spinach), water-packed artichoke hearts, cut in quarters, not too small, tomatoes, stuffed green olives (i love the ones with anchovies or olives, but use your favorite_), peppadew pepper, mozzarella cheese , balls, pepperoncini pepper, sopressata, prosciutto, cocktail onion, mushroom, parmesan cheese, fresh basil

here are the basics of making an excellent cheese fondue , the proper way (or at least the lindysez way)., use good cheese , i use half emmental swiss and gruyere, grate them up and toss them with some salt and a good amount of pepper. let them sit out at room temp so they melt better . cut your bread (good french bread, but not sourdough) into bite sized pieces making sure to have crust on each piece. let those sit out for a while too so they aren tsp too soft., cheese that you use , you are going to use 1 3/4 cups of a dry white wine, such as a fume blanc, a california sauv blanc (don tsp use a new zealand 1 as most are too grassy) or a pouilly-fume. when you are ready to make the fondue, rub the pot with a clove of garlic (we like garlic, so we leave the clove in, but you don tsp need to); then place over a medium heat and add the wine. when the wine comes to a simmer, start slowly adding the cheese, sprinkling in a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt (my dad said you always have to stir in the same direction, in a figure 8 motion, it works. if you stir in a circle you will end up with a big glop of cheese in the middle of a pot of wine, the figure 8 is key); keep adding until you have a nice thick sauce, then add a splash of kirsch and a pinch of nutmeg. put over a burner to keep it bubbling, and stir often when you dip your bread., a lb of cheese is enough for 4 people; or more if you are serving other things. and the amounts are guesstimates. i almost always grate too much cheese, so only add as much as you need to get the right consistency ; when you dip a piece of bread into the fondue, you want a nice coating of cheese and for the bread to absorb the wine. that s what it s all about, cheese, wine and bread. so use the best you can of each ingredient. and any left over cheese makes for a mighty good ham and cheese omelet.

butter, white sugar, eggs, buttermilk, red food coloring (i used americolor red gel food coloring and didn tsp measure it out. i just kept adding until it was t), vanilla extract, baking soda, distilled white vinegar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, cream cheese, softened, room temperature, butter, unsalted, softened, room temperature, icing sugar (about 7 cups), vanilla extract

(i d start with about 1/4 tsp, and then take it from there.)

risotto with sausage and cranberry beans, make risotto , you absolutely must use a specific type of rice called arborio rice (carnaroli and vialone nano are also used, some say superior, but are more difficult to find). these types of rice release starch when stirred in a liquid; it is this process which makes risotto, otherwise you just have a starchy mess of mush. these types of rice are identified by their fat round grains and pearly appearance. they can be used to make other sorts of rice dishes, such as pilaf, but other types of rice cannot be used for risotto. arborio is no longer that much of a specialty product; it can be found in most large, well-stocked grocery stores in the italian section. or sometimes, misguidedly, in the asian section., okay , so now we have the rice. you will also need some good, low-salt stock or broth - it should be low-salt not for health reasons, but because a good deal of it will evaporate, leaving its salt behind, and i like to have more control over the salt in a dish. it can be homemade, but i m not going to be a snob about it because, in truth, we go through gallons of store-bought stock in this household and i don tsp see that changing anytime soon. furthermore, risotto is actually a dish which can be whipped up out of thin air when it seems as though you have nothing to eat, as long as you have butter, rice, stock, maybe a few herbs, and some leftover parmesan. i like the kind of stock purchased in tetrapak cartons, because they are resealable and can be put in the fridge and used as needed. if you really want to use homemade but you don tsp have time to make stock or don tsp like the aroma of roasting bones in your house (i don tsp blame you), you can buy really great stock at north market poultry and game - it is expensive, but can be diluted with a 2- or 3-to-1 ratio of water to stock, so it stretches. my general guideline is to plan on 1/4 cup dry rice per person, and about 4 cups of stock to 1 cup of rice. of course, this isn tsp exact and will vary depending on your elevation and the phases of the moon, but it s a good place to start. i usually just use 4 cups of stock and then dilute with water or wine (or sometimes beer, if that s all i have) if i feel i m going to run out., well, we have rice and stock covered, now we just need our setup: place the stock in a saucepan on your rear burner, bring to a simmer, and leave it there with a 6-8 oz ladle in, and place a large, wide saute pan (must be really large, plan that your rice will at least quadruple in size) or dutch oven on the burner in front. get out your favorite wooden spoon and flex your stirring arm., nice thing about using sausage is it s so full of flavor you can leave out the usual onion/garlic/shallot/celery nonsense if you re tired and don tsp feel like chopping. furthermore, sausage goes from the freezer to the pan without suffering too much. okay, let s go, risotto with sausage and cranberry beans - serves 4, links italian sausage , or 1 lb bulk (or hot, or a combination - definitely with some fennel), casings removed, cooked cranberry beans or 1 can white beans, drained, arborio rice, beef , chicken or vegetable stock, butter, freshly, finely grated parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish, an oz) flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely, lemon juice , or juice from 1/2 lemon, salt and black pepper to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, optional, good balsamic vinegar , optional

most of my recipes are open to fit your tastes and i usually add some options to make the recipe more to what you like., risotto is a very nice dish than can be use as a complete meal or a side dish. the preparation for risotto requires more simmering than boiling and 1 must be gentle in the cooking process., rice (use what kind you like)( i have made this with several kinds of ), olive oil (and/or butter), chopped onion, rice per person if it is a main dish or 2 oz per person if it is a side dish., canned or homemade chicken broth, white wine ( a good your favorite), saffron ( pinch), parmesan cheese (use your tastes on this ), chopped spinach, chopped porcine mushrooms, chopped asparagus, other vegetables to your taste, i have also used orzo to make a version of this., when buying rice to make a risotto, choose short-grained round or semi-round rice; among the best rices for making risotto are arborio, vialone nano, and carnaroli. other short-grained rices such as originario will also work. long grained rice such as patna won tsp do, because the grains will stay separate. nor should you use minute rice -- it won tsp absorb the condiments, and again the grains will remain separate.

cookingoil as needed, stew meat ,cutinto 1-inchcubes, bell pepper chopped course, onion chopped course, beans if you like (amount and type would depend on your like and the size of your crock pot or cut back to 1 1/2 lbs of meat to make room for the beans, its good however you deside, all meat or with beans ). i use pinto beans. you could use black, red, or kidney..i have never used canned beans, i cook dried beans or use what my wife has cooked, she is from honduras and there is almost always beans cooked, but i believe canned would work., add with the bean liquid unless you like more soup., cn (12 oz) v8 juice, diced or stewed tomatoes with liquid, garlic minced, salttotaste, add a tbsp of sugar more or less to cut acid n heat

first , cut your shark into small, thick pieces, about an inch or an inch square. you are trying to make big bite size pieces so they will cook right but can be picked up and eaten easily., next , melt about a stick of butter (more or less depending on how much you are making) with about a tbsp of olive oil in a large bowl - you can do this in the microwave or on the stove and then reserve into a large bowl. let the melted butter/oil cool but do not let it re-solidify., coat the pieces well with kosher salt and ground black pepper. set aside to allow the bites to come up to room temp if they were in the fridge or on ice., ok now it is time to make the spice mixture for the bites. you will want to make enough to liberally cover the bites, but not too much that you are wasting all your spices. how much you need depends on how many bites you are making., in a small bowl, combine roughly equal parts of the following, paprika, chipotle powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, ground mustard, ginger powder, add to this some amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper. this will considerable heat, so adjust how much you to your and your guest s tastes. (note - you could forget all of these spices and just coat with your favorite blackened or cajun seasoning, but it won tsp taste as good of course).
