I'm not a cook at all but some of the good things I've had.

Burgers - marinate them in beer and wisticher sauce.
I'm also marinated them in sprite while they were cooking. Also tried a little captain morgan. I think the sprite turned out the best but I can't remember for sure.

Beef - ex wife used to take round thing of beef and put it in the crock pot in the morning and a full can of garnier then after work, throw it on a bun and have a beef sandwich with a kick.

Chicken - ex wife used to make this too and I don't know what it's called and can't find the recipe. Cut up some chicken and roll them in crescent rolls, cook the chicken and roll together, and then get a can of cream of chicken soup and mix it with some sour cream to thicken it up, put it on the chicken and eat it. Freaking delicious! I'm going to text her right now and find out what it is.
I think this is it

Put 1/2 cup flour, salt & pepper in a grocery bag, Place 4 chops in bag, crimp the end & shake to coat. Then put 4 medium sliced squash, 1 large onion, diced,and as much diced garlic as you like, crimp the end & shake again to coat veggies. Discard bag. I use 2 skillets, each with 1/4 cup olive oil,one for chops, & one for squash, fry in covered skillets on medium-low for 10 mins, then cook until browned to desire. Stir the squash several times during frying to brown evenly, then top with shredded cheddar chesse. Simple, quick & good!

OK, here we go, yall like this one, I made it maself,

FRESH SMOKED SALMON WITH BUTTER SAUCE

1 BIG slab fresh salmon,
2 STICKS real butter, (not out of a plastic container)
1 TBLS real lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 TBLS real lime juice (fresh squeezed)
1 TBLS dill, fine chopped,
1 TBLS lawreys season salt (I dont use quite 1 tbls)
2 LARGE vidalia sweet onion, (the flatter the bottom of the onion, the sweeter it is)

melt butter, mix in dill, lemon, lime, and season salt in a small sauce pan, simmer, not boil, about 10 minutes, pour enough to baste your salmon heavy 2 times into a cup,
slice onions, leave rings whole,
bring smoker up to 250 F, lay out a layer of heavy duty tinfoil, cover with onion rings, lay salmon on rings, baste real well with butter sauce, close smoker POUR THE SMOKE CHIPS TO THE FIRE BOX, (i use apple wood chips) leave for 10 minutes, turn the salmon over laying back on the rings, baste heavily with butter sauce again close smoker till fish is done, (10 to 15 minutes) NO LONGER,

NOTE: when the fish flakes all the way through, its done, and dry if over cooked

Use the rest of the butter sauce as a dipping sauce for the fish and I always throw on some shrimp also, very good for the shrimp,

I'm a huge bowhunter and love venison. I hunt 3 different states and do all my own butchering. But when I hunt in Ohio I have no choice if I kill but to use a local butcher shop due to meat spoiling. One year the guy Andy who owns the butcher shop tells me he has a new blend.. for chop meat. He adds hickory smoked bacon fat to the venison. IT IS OFF THE CHARTS SICK!!!!! I'm a huge fan of bbq's and burgers, so the last couple years I would say this is one of my favorites. I have so many tho! Here's a few pics, one of my favorite burger meats and another of my ugly mug with a beautiful Ohio buck. Figured I would show my face in case I ever run into anybody from the welding web at any events.

And what do you call this Sir?????

[dumb as a stump]

Ok this is a simple suggestion.You you how most of us use water to boil veggies, try useing gingerale. I'm a sugarless guy (by necessity) you will not believe the difference, just pour in gingerale and boil as usual.

[weldermike]

Thanks, i'm gonna try it, I love experimenting. Here' one I never tried but could take my friends word for. He wanted to make mashed potatoes and realized to late he was out of butter so he used cream cheese! I asked how it was and his exact reply was, I kept running around the house slapping myself in between bites!!!!! I laughed my azz off, he's a big guy and loves his food. I still have'nt tried it yet tho.

[zapster]

And what do you call this Sir?????

"Eggburts"

I have no idea why either.

[dumb as a stump]

ok another easy suggestion I keep instant mashed potatoes around ( i hate the stuff) as a fixer. ie accidentally adding too much milk in real mashed potatoes, helping to dry up potatoes for potatoe pancakes and just the other day I made rice (minute rice) and had added too much water so my wife suggested to add some instant mashed. I thought WHAT??? guess what perfect, and I could'nt taste the mashed so...thats just a few of the recent uses I could think of.

[mickg]

one my kids like for pudding is
2 digestive biscuits
spread chocolate spread on one cover in whipped cream then put other biscuit on top.

also good to make swmbo after kids are in bed, could sit there for hrs watching her lick the cream as it comes out of sides

For this one it helps to buy a new potato peeler.

Marinade:
- peel the rind off 2 lemons. (try not to cut too deeply, you want the colored part.add the rind to food processor
- squeeze the juice into processor.
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- generous helping of fresh black pepper, about 1/3-1/2 tsp.
- bit of rosemary.

Blend the above thoroughly so the lemon peel and garlic are chopped up nicely.

-buy 2-3 lbs chicken drumsticks or thighs.

Marinate overnight.

Light your charcoal, wait a bit, then start grillin'. I prefer briqueted hardwood charcoal. It gives the chicken a nice smoky edge.

My Potato Pancake Recipe

Ingredients:
2 or 3 large yellow potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion sautéed (previously) OR onion powder
2 large eggs
1/4 cup instant potato flakes (in a pinch flour or corn meal - to help dry out potatoes)
BBQ spice
Garlic powder
Celery salt
Salt & Pepper to taste
Crisco (for frying) and bacon fat if you have it
Oh if you have left over bacon (yeah right) chop finely and add too
Applesauce, sour cream or catchup, for dipping & inhaling

Directions: Grate the potatoes in food processor with the grating blade. Squeeze out any excess liquid in your hands over the sink. Put in chopping blade and return to food processor. Add the eggs, onions, potatoe flakes, spices and salt and pepper. Pulse all of the ingredients together to thoroughly combine them and chop finer (having some shred is perfect). Do not over do this or it will be like corn meal and have less texture. Slightly more chopped than just shredded. The mixture when done shouldn't be wet and runny (this is what the potato flakes do)
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the Crisco & bacon fat over medium heat. Fork the mixture into the hot pan forming small piles and flattening out to form pancakes, using 3-4 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Cook until the underside is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes ( if your burner heats unevenly, you may have to rotate pancakes in the pan). Flip over and cook until the other side is golden and the potatoes are cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Keep a small amount of crisco on the bottom of the frying pan at all times. You will need to keep adding with each batch cause it gets soaked up in the cooking.
One way to tell that your pancakes are done is by sound: when it stops sizzling it’s time to flip it over. Allowing to remain in the oil after the sizzling has stopped will result in greasy, oil-logged pancakes (which is not what you want). And remember golden brown.
When done, remove from the pan and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Pat off the excess oil once they have cooled a bit, then serve hot with applesauce / sour cream or catchup.
Serves 1 perhaps 2

PS: I find that I cook a batch of 3 per lot (in my big cast iron frying pan), and as the next batch is cooking, I eat the previous 3. So if you are trying to feed someone else try to have more restraint than I do. Also this is what I think I do as I rarely ever measure anything but I have tried to get it right. Also if you don't have a food processer just grate it with a hand grater. Then I have given the mixture a bit of a chop, then addspices etc and go.

For burgers, I use half ground beef and half ground pork and smoke them with apple wood at about 220 degrees

Anyone love steaks. I mean Prime Quality Grilled at home. I got the idea from Ruth Chris and McCormick and Schmicks. They let me in the kitchen with a nice glass of cab with my date :-) Great experience!

I grill a mean Baseball Bacon Wrapped Filet 6 or 12 ounce.
I love medium rase so if you want higher temps add a few minutes to each turn.

If your bbq has a steam pan this is the time to put it in before you light up.
I use natural gas but you also can use charcol Heat up the grill on high get the temp over 500.

While its heating up season your steaks with fresh ground pepper, Sea salt, and Garlic. I prefer minced but garlic flake will work well too. You'll have enough time to foil cook asparagus, corn on the cob or other sides for this one so get those ready too.

Open the lid on your bbq. Keep your heat on High Coat the grill with a lil spray or cooking oil then throw your steaks on. Keep them in line with the grate.
Set your timer for 10 minutes with the lid open.
After 10 minutes Turn over for another 10 minutes with the lid open (Dont turn cross direction yet)
Now pour some water in your steamer pan! Cross turn your steaks so you get a criss cross grill mark. turn down the heat to medium Close the lid for 6-8 minutes
After 6-8 min Add a lil water. Turn over to get a cross grill mark on the other side.
3 minutes till add a slice of real butter to each steak.

At this point with a 12 ounce baseball cut filet you should be at a true medium rare to medium. It doesn't take much longer to get up to medium or medium well.
My butcher sometimes cuts them a lil thicker from time to time but once you've cooked a couple you'll get the feel of it.

Grilled artichokes.

Start with 2 large artichokes.

Slice 'em bilaterally. Scoop out all of the hairy stuff.
Steam fully in a pot, 1inchish water plus a splash of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
Takes about 20-22 minutes. You're done when the pedals peel off easily. I always give a taste test, too.

Once fully cooked, marinate them for 3+ hours in the fridge in a sauce consisting of equal parts of 1/4 cup of:

Soy Sauce
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Water

Mince a some ginger and garlic, about 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon of each.

After 3 hours, toss them on the grill open side down, cook until they start to brown. Flip them over and char the backside just a bit. Remember, they're already fully cooked so you're only cooking to add flavor.

For dipping sauce, mayonnaise with a squeeze of lemon juice.
