Re: [CnD] Coconut oil

2017-05-22 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
If it doesn't smell rancid, I say it's still good.

I did a quick Google search & here is what I found:

It might be *one year*, two years or even *four years*, it depends. Because
of that, you can safely assume that every coconut oil lasts at least a
year, but a few years is the most common scenario. Here's a rule of thumb:
as long as you can't notice your coconut oil is bad, it's fine.

Remember, it can be used for more than just cooking.

Re: [CnD] Food ideas

2016-12-06 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
There are tons of things you can make. Most of the ingredients you listed
can easily be left out of any recipe you make without much,if any,  notice.

My sister is allergic to onions so when I cook for her I will leave out any
onions the recipe calls for. My husband doesn't like cheese of any kind.
That was odd to me when I first met him because I came from a family where
we put cheese on almost everything. Once I was married, I stopped putting
cheese on things & have gotten to the point that I don't care for cheese
all that much.

Look thru some recipes & be creative. Good luck!

I was always afraid I wasn't cooking our meat long enough so I would always
cook it just a little bit more making the meat tough & dry. I invested in a
$30 talking cooking thermometer & I don't regret it one bit. If you can, I
recommend folks invest in one of these wonderful kitchen tools. If you are
unsure about what internal temp to cook which meats, just do a quick Google
search before cooking  to find out.

[CnD] Buffalo Chicken & Potato Casserole

2016-09-14 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
Buffalo Chicken and Potato Casserole

Ingredients

1 bag baby gold potatoes (24–28 oz), halved
1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce, divided
6 slices precooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
1/2 cup french-fried onions
1/2 cup presliced green onions
1/2 cup ranch dressing

Steps

1.Preheat oven to 450°F. Halve potatoes; place in microwave-safe bowl and
cover. Microwave potatoes on HIGH 8 minutes.
2.Drain potatoes, then toss with 1/4 cup wing sauce; transfer mixture to
13- x 9-inch baking dish. Bake 20–25 minutes or until potatoes are fork
tender, stirring once halfway through bake time. Meanwhile, chop bacon. Cut
chicken into 1/2-inch cubes (wash hands).
3.Reduce heat to 400°F. Combine chicken with remaining 1/4 cup wing sauce,
then stir into potatoes.
4.Combine remaining ingredients (including bacon); top potatoes with
mixture. Bake 15–18 more minutes or until center of casserole is 165°F. Let
stand 5 minutes to cool. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.)

***Cook's Notes:

I used about 1 1/2 pounds of red potatoes instead of what the recipe calls
for because that's what I had on hand.

[CnD] Moink Balls was Football Food

2016-08-30 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
Moink Balls
Recipe by Malcom Reed
www.howtobbqright.com

1 package meatballs, thawed
1 package bacon
Tooth picks
Bar-B-Que rub
18 oz. Bar-B-Que sauce
1/2 cup Apple jelly

Directions

Cut bacon in half. Wrap bacon halves around meatballs & secure with a
toothpick.  Season bacon wrapped meatballs with bar-b-que rub. Get your
smoker or grill set at 275 degrees and place these bacon-wrapped meatballs
on the cooker. Because the meatballs are already cooked, you aren’t worried
about the internal temp – but you want to cook until the bacon has a great,
mahogany color. This typically takes 1 – 1.5 hours. I suggest to start
checking on your Moink Balls at the 45 min mark and keep an eye on them
until they have the color you want.
Mix bar-b-que sauce & jelly to make a glaze. Dip each Moink Ball in the
glaze and place it back on your cooker for 10 – 15 minutes to allow that
sauce to set. Once your glaze has set, all that’s left to do is serve and
eat.


Notes:
1. I'm not sure of the sized bag of meatballs I get. It's just the only
size my store carries.
2. The bacon package is about 12-16 oz. when bacon is laying with the strip
running length wise (left to right), cut the slab in half
3. For the bar-b-que rub, I use a brand called "Butt Rub"
4. Use your favorite bar-b-que sauce.

[CnD] Beefy Macaroni Casserole

2016-08-30 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
Beefy Macaroni Casserole

INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 medium red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into medium dice
1 medium yellow onion, medium dice
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons tomato pasteo
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound elbow macaroni
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (with juices)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
​
INSTRUCTIONS

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Heat
the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Meanwhile, melt the
butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the bell
peppers, onion, garlic, measured salt, oregano, paprika, and measured
pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened
but not browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stir to
combine, and cook until the raw flavor has cooked out, about 1 minute. Add
the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking the meat
into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until it’s just cooked through and
no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling
pot of water and cook until still chewy and underdone, usually 1 or 2
minutes less than the package directions suggest (the pasta will finish
cooking in the oven). Drain and rinse with cold water until no longer
steaming; set aside. Add the flour to the beef mixture and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the raw taste has cooked out of the flour, about 2
minutes. Add the milk, tomatoes and their juices, and broth or stock, stir
to combine, and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked pasta and 1 1/2 cups of
the cheese and stir to combine. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally,
until the pasta is heated through and steaming, about 1 minute. Taste and
season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a 5-quart baking dish,
sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cheese, and bake until bubbling
and lightly browned on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack
and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

~~

 HOMEMADE RANCH SEASONING MIX
from www.gimmesomeoven.com

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup dry buttermilk (**see note below**)
2 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. dried onion flakes
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. dried chives
1 tsp. salt
DIRECTIONS:

Whisk all ingredients together until blended. If you want a more
finely-ground seasoning mix, you can pulse the mixture in a food processor
until it reaches your desired consistency.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

*3 Tablespoons of this mix = 1 packet of the store-bought seasoning mix

**TO MAKE RANCH DRESSING:

Combine 1 Tbsp. seasoning mix with 1/3 cup mayo and 1/3 cup milk, and whisk
to combine. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for the mayo.

**You can omit the buttermilk powder if you would like to use fresh
buttermilk, or if you would just like the straight spices for the seasoning
mix.**

Re: [CnD] my very! hot! crock pot chili

2016-08-04 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
With my experience grilling burgers on an indoor grill, it takes about 7-8
minutes for the meat to get done. That is a starting point.

You can also boil ground beef. I put my meat in a large pot, crumble it
with my hands, put enough water in the pot to cover the meat plus another
inch of water, season with your favorite seasonings, turn heat to high
until the water boils, turn heat to medium/high & boil for 30 minutes. When
done, drain & then stir meat into your dish.

Finally, you can cook it in the crockpot if time allows. Place crumbled raw
meat in crockpot, season with your favorite seasonings, add about 1 cup of
water (amount depends on amount of meat you are cooking, use your own
judgement), turn crockpot on high, cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally,
when done, drain & then stir into your dish.

All three methods are less greasy than frying.

For the amount of time it has taken folks to type out a nasty complaining
email (or two or three...)) each of you could have searched the
Internet for cooking directions. As blind people all we ask for is
independence. So, grow up, stop complaining, & spend a little time
researching a solution to your problem. It's not being independent when you
are asking folks to hand you everything. Geez, do just a little work for
yourselves!

If so, follow your own advice & stick to the subject of cooking & recipes.

Has anyone made the brownie variation? If so, is it a cake like brownie?
I'm in search of a homemade cake like brownie recipe.

[CnD] Crispy Oven-fried Chicken Tenders

2016-07-19 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
I have made some amazing oven-fried chicken tenders.

I don't measure most of the ingredients, so I'm just guessing here.

1 package boneless, skinless chicken tenders
About 1 cup SR flour, seasoned with my family's seasoning blend
1 egg beaten, about 1/2 cup milk (regular or buttermilk). This depends on
what I have in the fridge.
About 1-1/2 cup seasoned Panko, seasoned (see note on flour)
Butter flavored cooking spray

Directions:

Dredge tenders in flour, egg or milk then Panko. Place on rack in roasting
pan. Spray tops with cooking spray. Bake at 350 until done, about 30
minutes. Cooking times vary depending on size & thickness of tenders & your
oven. I suggest using a talking meat thermometer & cook until thickest part
of tender is 165 F internally.

I plan to cook these soon & using a baking stone & flipping the tenders
half way through. These tenders come out super crispy & delicious.

Re: [CnD] Tip from a blind person

Chicken bacon ranch wraps

There is  an appetizer that takes a packet of taco seasoning mix & cream
cheese that has been combined & then spread on a flour tortilla. Then top
with onions, tomatoes, black olives, shredded cheese. My family & I would
make them for some catering events. I'm sorry I don't remember the exact
ingredients & amounts. A quick search online for wraps will give you a good
sampling & you can build from there.

Dont forget chicken salad, tuna salad, ham salad, etc.

Veggie wraps

The list is endless!

Re: [CnD] purpose of the list concern

2016-07-19 Thread Courtney Fulghum Smith via Cookinginthedark
I will agree to a certain degree. Some of the recent recipe posts have
sounded good & I have saved a few. Please remember there are different
cooking methods & tools to use in cooking. In stead of deep frying, try
oven frying. Want to know if your chicken is done & can't see the clear
juices? Invest in a $30 cooking thermometer.  There is a wealth of
knowledge at our finger tips with the Internet & search engines.

Two things to consider:
1. Research different cooking techniques for a recipe you would like to
try. Post your findings to the list for others to glean from. Who knows,
 you just might spark another idea from another list member.

2. Don't want to read all the recipes? Deletethen

Instead of complaining, be active!

Just my thoughts.

Rebecca,

I don't see any reason why you couldn't tear the bread into chunks. I would
make sure that all of the chunks were coated before cooking.

Let us know how it turns out.
