  1. beef stroganoff.
  2. You can make a killer meal using just lasagna flavored hamburger helper. I made it the other night for my dat with myself and I loved it! The conversation wasn't that good so it's a good thing the food was!
  3. I have a dessert one for you. Chewy Chocolate-Caramel Bars 1c Quick-cooking oats, uncooked 1/2c brown sugar, packed 1/2c sugar 1c all-purpose flour 1t baking soda 3/4c butter, melted 14oz pkg. caramels, unwrapped 3T milk 12oz pkg milk chocolate chips Combine oats, brown sugar, sugar, flour, baking soda and butter; press half of the mixture into a greased 9"X9" baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. While baking, melt caramels with milk in a double boiler; stir until smooth. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust; pour melted caramel on top. Spread remaining dry mixture over top; bake 15 more minutes. Cool; cut into squares. Tip: I always get the caramels unwrapped first. And after you pour the caramel on you are supposed to spread the remaining oatmeal mixture, well it doesn't spread easy so I drop some all over and it spreads when it bakes for 15 more minutes. I just made some yummmmmmmmmmy lol.
  4. INSIST of French. you CANNOT go wrong Anyways here goes.... Caviar, Caviar Caviar (ultiamte WOW) Don't need too good quality. Beluga's best, Oscietra's cheaper. Try getting russian caviar. Put it in nicely soft boiled egg (insist of using fresh farm eggs; white ones) Carpaccio of Langoustine: Langoustines, very finely sliced (they're small lobsters, you can try substitutes)(otherwise, use ocean trout) Extra Virgin Olive Oil (BEST you can get; the one that famous chefs use nowadays is the $30 dandaragan estate oliver oil) FINELY chopped chives Mix the chives and olive oil together and spread over the finely sliced fillet(raw mind you) on a LARGE plate. IF you're using trout, then bash in arugula on top, with a good poached egg in the centre. these are my recipes observed from restaurants but i've tried them on my own. For the main course you should use a good quality wagyu or kobe beef. As beef is not easy to wow unless you're a pro chef, you sohuld use wagyua and kobe for its natural flavor. sauce is VERY essential. By brown stock bouillon cubes, simmer in water as instructed, reduce it until 50% is left, put in red wine and reduce till 30% is left. Place beef on top of finely whipped potatoes (insist on maris piper) on top of the sauce. Put aside some nicely grilled vegetables with the olive oil. Desert: Warm chocolate cake with fudge center (very important!)sinful and pleasurable, DON'T forget strawberries Insist on LINDT excellence OR Godiva chocoalte; best you can get. Joel Robuchon uses LINDT and i recall that the morton's restaurant uses godiva. I don't know the exact recipe, srry anyways Hope this Helps!
  5. BBQ some steak, make baked potatoes, a green salad and cheese cake for dessert. It's easy and almost everyone likes it. The cheese cake can be made out of the mix you buy in the baking isle of the grocery store. Good luck!
  6. Cornish Game Hens are totoally the way to go. They look like little chickens and are in almost any grocery store, cost about 2-3 each. All you have to do is pre-heat your oven to 350 put hens breast down in a baking dish, season with garlic salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 30minutes and then turn hens over with breast up (fix the skin to lay right). Bake another 30-45 minutes. You can serve them with mashed potatoes (all guys love 'em) and stove top (quick and easy). For the mashed potatoes (if you don't know) cut off skins, cut into 1-2 inch pieces. Put in cold salted water on stove bring to boil and the reduce heat and cook on medium for about 10-15 minutes (depending on size of pieces) until they fall off a fork if you try to pick a piece out of the water with a fork (it's called fork tender). Drain water and sit back on hot stove for 1 minute or less just to evaporate any extra water. Season with salt and pepper (more salt always then pepper, salt actually enhances the flavor of food while pepper covers it a little) and put about a half of stick of butter cut into sections (to aid in faster melting) and blend with hand mixer till most potatoes are mashed. Add a splash of milk and mix again if they are still too thich add more milk and mix. You can transfer this to another dish and top with shredded cheese and bake till the cheese is melted if you want. This really isn't that hard and it will surely impress. Grocery list: 2 cornish game hens (1 per person) garlic salt (Lawry's green top) salt and pepper potatoes butter milk shredded mild cheddar stove top (chicken) Best wishes

  8. found this at allrecipes.com The Perfect Picnic Print picnic basket placemats place mats summer Don't set the table, pack the picnic basket! Picnicking is one of the most worthwhile culinary pastimes we can think of -- it lets us spend more time enjoying that precious warm weather that we waited for all autumn, winter and spring, and it breaks us out of our usual mealtime routines. Even eating something as ho-hum as a sandwich and a bag of chips takes on a new thrill when we're lounging on a blanket in a beautiful outdoor setting. Whether you're looking for a no-fuss impromptu meal to take to the park or a lavish alfresco feast, let us help you fill your summer with the most idyllic and delicious picnics you've ever prepared. Filling the Picnic Basket Of course, you can take just about anything you want on a picnic, but sandwiches and salads make especially good picnic fodder for any occasion because they offer so much variety, and they taste good cold. However, a picnic should be more than just a brown bag lunch eaten outside. To make picnic sandwiches a little less like a dreary school lunch and more like the eating adventure it should be, bring all the ingredients and let everyone assemble their own. If the meal takes longer to eat, it just means you get to spend more time in the beautiful outdoors. After all, you're not in a hurry -- you're on a picnic! Treat yourself to bakery-fresh bread, quality meats, your very favorite cheeses. Add a salad of garden-ripe vegetables or fruits, and your meal will be far from ordinary! Picnic Precautions Of course, warm-weather dining comes with its own set of concerns, the most important of which is food safety. Foods we enjoy on a regular basis without a trouble in the world can suddenly become homes for dangerous bacteria to breed when left unrefrigerated for long periods of time in warm weather. There are some foods that should not be left at room temperature for any period of time, including raw meats, and anything containing raw eggs. It's really better to take ready-to-eat foods on your picnics and save the cookouts for your backyard; handling raw meats and then touching other foods can be dangerous when you don't have a proper place to wash your hands. If your picnic destination is more than a few minutes away, put all perishable foods in a cooler with ice or a frozen gel pack. If you're going to have to be in the car for awhile before arriving at your picnic destination and you don't want to hassle with a cooler, consider going vegetarian for the day, or buy your perishable items once you near your destination. Give Mayonnaise a Break! We feel it's our duty to say a word or two in the defense of that much-maligned condiment, mayonnaise. It has gained an undeserved reputation as the most dangerous food to take on a picnic. It's true that homemade mayonnaise, which contains raw eggs, should never roam far from a refrigerator. Store-bought mayonnaise, however, contains pasteurized eggs and enough salt and lemon juice or vinegar that it actually inhibits bacterial growth. Low-acid foods in picnic dishes such as potatoes, chicken, and ham are much more susceptible to bacterial growth than the mayonnaise itself. So, while you should still be careful about keeping everything cool, don't let that stop you from using all the creamy, dreamy mayo you like in your picnic sandwiches, salads and dips! Become a Pro Picnicker From the fanciest to the most casual of picnics, every single outdoor dining experience can be picture-perfect. Why sit on the dirt fighting with the bugs over who gets to eat your soggy sandwiches from your paper plates when, with just a little extra planning, you could be stretched out on a soft blanket, languidly tucking slices of your favorite cheeses and meats into a crusty roll and spooning fresh salad onto your colorful and sturdy matching plastic plates? If you have a picnic basket, a blanket or tablecloth, a set of durable plates, and a pocketknife complete with corkscrew, scissors and can opener, any picnic will be a luxuriously delicious and relaxing experience. The basket is a handy way of keeping all your food and utensils together, as well as lending a sense of occasion to any picnic. If you don't have a traditional picnic basket, any large basket or canvas tote bag will work. You could even get a sturdy box with handles and let the kids decorate their own made-to-order picnic basket. The blanket or tablecloth will make your picnic pretty, as well as keeping you and your food comfortably away from the dirt. If your linen closet doesn't already have what you need, look for fun, inexpensive sheets at any department store, or even try combing your local thrift stores for an interesting blanket. Party stores and drug stores usually have a good selection of inexpensive, colorful and sturdy plastic plates. The plates can double as cutting boards and serving platters. Many of these plate sets also have matching utensil and cups. A deluxe pocketknife is a wonderful investment, too. When armed with one of these, you can handle any food or drink that needs slicing, peeling, trimming or prying open, and foods like bread, fruits, cheese and vegetables will be fresher when you slice them on-site. Once you've chosen your picnic gear, keep it all in your basket so you'll be ready to grab it and head out the door whenever the picnicking whim strikes you!

After cooking the noodles, LIGHTLY oil them. boil shrimp as a replacement for the meat. Eat and enjoy! ?? Post on “ add details” ~Hannah PS its called “ Shrimp Spaghetti”
