planeflyer21 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 We have a grilling topic, why not a standard cooking thread? My version of a fried egg sandwich...two eggs, turkey bacon, cheddar cheese, on buttered toast with blackberry jam. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Lately I've been on a serious avocado kick. Probably eating 1 every other day. my favorite so far was cubing it up, then tossing it in a hot pan with olive oil and chili garlic spices.

Robocop1051 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Lately, I've been on a healthy kick. Here is my sugar free, zero carb, high protein lunch. Mixed greens salad, 1 hard boiled egg (chopped), 1 can tuna (albacore), 1/4 avacado (sliced), ceasar dressing (0 sugar), salsa (for my Mexican tongue), chopped celery and carrots for flavor. If I still have some, I'll add some shredded cheese in there too. When I need to add carbs, I add a scoop of whole black beans. Yum! I lost almost 60# in 6 months eating like this.

NoFail Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 60 lbs!!! Robo? Holy cow!!! No pun intended, lol!! I'd like to loose 30 lbs. That is a healthy & smart way you did it. Good for you... Sorry I don't have anything like that to share now. Unless this ice cream called "Death By Chocolate" with some Mrs. Richardson's hot fudge poured all over it counts...

EasyEJL Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 A stupidly simple kitchen thing that I worked out over time was that if you are baking chicken (whether its breasts still on the bones, legs, whatever) making sure you keep a small amount of water in the bottom of the baking pan really helps keep the chicken moist. not enough to be boiling the chicken :D but 1/4 inch worth in the bottom, and check it every 15 min or so to see if you need to add more.

planeflyer21 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 lol Here in AZ and NM, that's what we call cornbread with jalapeños and chunks of cheese in it. In my area it is a non-sweetened (no sugar added) Southern-style pan fried cornbread Take an iron skillet, preheat it and place bread heels in the bottom. This keeps the cornbread from sticking to the iron. Then pour in your batter mix and cook it on the stove top until done. When it is finished, cut it out like pie slices. Straight cornbread is good to take a hot slice, cut it in half from the point to the back, put in liberal amounts of butter and then drench it with honey. With the Mexican cornbread I like to take a slice and put it in a bowl, then smother it with soup or refrieds. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sounds god bro,in N.M. they had a pita bread type that they gave honey with.That was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Indian fry bread? How can you go wrong with a blob of dough into a vat of hot oil? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Indian fry bread? How can you go wrong with a blob of dough into a vat of hot oil? Jon Rene is talking about sopapillas, a lot of the mexican restaurants here serve them after a meal.. Indian fry bread may be the same thing, I haven't had that so I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 No, sopapillas are totally different. They sell Indian fry bread at San Xavier Mission, the county fair, and many of the reservations...never seen a restaurant serve it. Starts out looking like you were spreading a pizza crust but before it got all the way flat and round, you dumped it into the oil. I'd say 8" by 14" is about average size. Inside is still chewy, crunchy outside. You can get them with meat, beans, like a taco, or (most often) with just honey. Usually end up with honey up to your elbows and half way around your head.

LOL Working at the prison one of the more popular meals was chili and their version of cornbread, really more like a cake made with corn flour. Those there from the South knew what I was talking about when I'd ask "Where's the real cornbread?" Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL That's right, and it better be dry enough to consume 98% of your total body moisture too. I swear if the oil industry ever discovers mom's cornbread, oil spills will no long be a newsworthy item.
