    BigMike's Crock Pot Chicken Breasts in Mushroom and White Wine Gravy

    Hi everyone, long time no post. Well I relocated to Illinois and because of my eyesight failing so much I'm losing a step. I decided to get a crock pot, but one of the things I didn't like about crock pots if you wanted a lot of flavor you had to pre brown everything in another pan and move it...

    Big's Baking Bag Corned Beef Dinner

    I haven't been here in a while. My wife Nan and I split up last year, then this February my Mom left us... It's been a crazy ride. I moved to Illinois and in the process had to give up my cats, my dog Lady and my chickens. I found amazing new homes for everyone and they're all real happy. I...

    Big's White and Wild Rice Medley

    Hey Everyone, I am surprised this recipe never got any responses. Give it a shot. When I can't find wild rice in the box I use Rice a Roni's white/wild rice medley, or failing that I get Carolina brand white/wild rice medley. This is great cold with some cantaloupe slices and grilled chicken...

    Stale Bread

    I found this recipe for pasta with garlicky bread crumbs by Melissa Clark on You Tube... She's an awesome cook So this was my variation, actually I had all the stuff and it's massive !! You really appreciate squirting a little fresh lemon juice just when you're eating it !!

    Stale Bread

    Had some small Italian rolls that were going stale. Wanted to make some croutons for Caesar's Salad and fresh toasted bread cubes into bread crumbs. Want to make a simple fettucine dish in a fresh quick sauce with lots of anchovy paste and fresh parsley and at the very end a liberal fusing of...

    Bring me your A game pulled pork recipes!

    Owning a Cookshack smoker I spend a lot of time on the Cookshack site forums. Some pretty serious competition cooks, restaurant owners and chefs. Guys that do the competition circuits. I think the biggest "trick" besides not putting your rub on early (especially if your rub has SALT in it, which...

    homemade mayo

    Yes salmonella is the most common. Long before we were allowed to work in the Culinary Academy kitchens we had to pass a National Food Safety Course and be certified. http://www.nrfsp.com http://www.servsafe.com/students/takingexam I heard the mantra again and again. There is a 4 hour food...

    Bring me your A game pulled pork recipes!

    A-Game ?? Well if you are doing pulled pork your A Game recipe should use a pork BUTT, not a pork roast. If you get a pork butt use this recipe: I smoke mine in a Cookshack smoker, either as carnitas for mexican pulled pork, or I used a homemade rub, I call a cowboy rub (think paprika, salt...

    homemade mayo

    Coddle your eggs, whether store bought or from your flock. I was taught that over and over in chef school. Whether it is for mayo, caesar's salad dressing. Coddle you say. what's that mean : place eggs that are at room temp into a pot of boiling water with a slotted spoon or spider basket. Let...

    Mrs. Kennedy's Stuffed Meatloaf

    Getting into the WayBack Machine for this recipe. When I was in the Army I dated this girl and her folks had me over for Saturday night dinner so they could meet me. Mrs. Kennedy made this dish with flank steak but it's so good using meatloaf. Hope you try it out. Mis en Place 4 pounds...

    Mike's Pasta Fajioli

    LOL Betty, But I think you should stay put, we're expecting a really bad storm. I had an eye appointment for my glaucoma, the doctor's office just cancelled due to storms that should be raging while we were scheduled to be driving there. And we're rescuing a 10 year old female dashchund and the...

    Mike's Pasta Fajioli
