Favorite Recipes — General Discussion on True Nudists

Feb 2, 2009

I've found myself in a cooking rut. Doesn't matter what I make it is beginning to all taste the same to me. Do you find yourself having a few favorite spices/herbs to use - all ways at hand and they end up in EVERY single dish you make? Or do you have a favorite recipe to share? I've exchanged a few recipes with a friend on here already and it's been great fun (Thanks Jerry!). Hoping to "spice" up my menu with a few more ideas... So, please tell us, what areyoumaking for dinner tonight? Jen

Phil, you made me think of this, what is the difference between bacon and eggs for breakfast?

A days work for the chicken and a lifetime commitment for the pig.

Well, mid-afternoon lunch today was pretty neat...I smoked a small pork loin with pecan wood for a couple of hours, after preparing it with my own "special rub", lol! The rub is a mix of North Carolina seasonings and pork seasoning that I stole from Emeril. Really turned out great.
My sweet wife made a big pot of red beans and some homemade French bread to top off the meal. She puts the bread machine to some great use. Absolutely awesome. And I'll have wonderful leftovers tomorrow!

Dude...I just ate, and you're making me hungry! That sounds great! [quote]I've got two 1" thick ribeyes marinating with a little fajita seasoning as a dry rub. About an hour before putting them on the grill, I'll mix a little Jim Beam and molasses and rub it into both sides of the steaks. Prep a couple of potatoes and let them bake while the grill is heating up. Add some mesquite chips for a little smoke. Toss a nice hunk of kielbasa on the grill as an appetizer. Grind sea salt and black pepper on the steaks as I place them on the medium-hot grill. Sear the first side and cook about 4 minutes, then turn and cook about 4 minutes. Medium-rare is just right! Let the steaks rest 5 minutes while tossing some salad. Dessert??? We had that to start the day![/quote]

[quote][quote]LOL Gator, don't feel too bad. I think that is a mistake that most of us have made at one time or another !!!!! Isn't that a requirement for being a True Nudist???? Got to burn the "white" spots at least once???? LOL Steve[/quote] Hmmmmm. There ARE spots one doesn't want to burn -- ever!!!!![/quote] And I have done so, on another occasion. Phil...I think you could call it "cooking", in a manner of speaking!

Next time you go into town, bring a can of red spray paint with you. Any road kill you see, put a red stripe on it. On your way home, pick up anything that doesn't have a red stripe on on becaue it will be fresh. Skin the fresh road kill and simmer till tender. Debone the meat and then throw in a mess of vegatables from the garden. Add salt, pepper, and lots of tabasco and simmer till vegatebles are done. MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM Good

Here's a great salad for a hot summer day:Three bean salad1 package frozen green beans (defrosted) 1 can kidney beans 1 can garbanzo beans (chick peas) 1 can black olives 1 small red onion (sliced thin) 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/3 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup red wine 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp basil 1 clove garlic (pressed or chopped very fine) Mix all the liquid ingredients, sugar, garlic and basil. Stir in all the remaining ingredients. Make it several hours before serving, tastes best when it's had a chance to marinate in it's own juice. Great for picnics and bbqs.

Baked speckled trout.

Go out to your favorite fishing spot and catch an 18-21 inch spec. Clean and de fin the spec. sprinkle with seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder. lay on foil and put dabs of butter on top of it and then wrap. bake at 300 for 20-30 minutes till fish is flaky. Serves two.

This will also work over a camp fire on the beach if no oven is available, just don't remember amount of time, have to judge according to your fire.

One of my favorite camping recipes. Usually try to throw in some chopped onion and green pepper as well. Have had it baked in oven and over open campfire. Campfire gives the best flavor!

[quote]I love homemade soup. Anybody have any good soup recipes to share?[/quote] One of our favorites is a potato soup that my sweet wife makes. It's a pretty simple recipe. She sweats some onions and celery in the pot until carmelizing, then fills with about 3 quarts of chicken broth (or water, but chicken broth is richer), then we cube some red potatoes (you can use irish) and boil until tender. At the end, we make a thickener of instant mashed potatoes and milk and pour in. Season to taste. It's really great on a cold night. Gator1

i do use the same spices salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. for other things, like asian food I like using the sauces instead of spices for flavor.

as for what i'm making for dinner:
tortillas and eggs
sautee some breakfast meat in a little butter, I use 1 link of chorizo, when the chorizo is 3/4 cooked, throw 1/2 an onion, diced, in and sautee until soft, next cut 3-4 corn tortillas into chip sized rounds and throw them in, when they're a little crispy, throw in 3-4 eggs and finish with desired amount of cheddar cheese.
