Re: [CnD] Copycat Pioneer Woman Hoppin John Recipe
It probably depends on how many people you're serving and whether or not you want leftover rice. Keep in mind that 1 cup of uncooked rice makes 3 cups of cooked rice. Also the rice is just a base for the dish and personally I would allocate around a half cup cooked rice per person for a main dish serving.

Re: [CnD] Copycat Pioneer Woman Hoppin John Recipe
I wonder why people who don't want recipes would join a cooking list to begin with. As for "modifying" a recipe, I cook the way I cook. It's the way I've always cooked. I'm completely self-taught since my mother thought stoves were too scary for blind kids. I wouldn't even know how to tell someone what I do that is different from any other cook.

I'm just guessing here, but I think the original recipe was using the letter C to represent "cup." Somehow the C got translated into "can" as if by a braille translator.

Re: [CnD] Lost Recipe
Here you go, Bill. SLOW COOKER BACON WRAPPED APPLE CHICKEN 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/8 cup lemon juice, fresh or from a bottle 5 small apples, peeled and chopped, I used gala 8 slices bacon In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and peeled/chopped apples. Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon and place in a greased slow cooker. Pour BBQ apple mixture over chicken and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until chicken is done. I like to pin my bacon down with toothpicks so the bacon won't slide around. You can also use Turkey bacon if you like.

Re: [CnD] An early morning request for Grilled cheese sandwich method
I think grilled cheese turns out better if you butter the outside of the sandwich rather than the skillet. Also, I like to set a plate on top of the sandwich while it's cooking to help the cheese melt. I can usually tell by the sound of the sizzle if it's time to turn the sandwich.

Re: [CnD] cutting huge melons
40 pounds? Wow! I think I would start by cutting the melon in half crosswise. That will give you smaller chunks to deal with. The first cut will be the most difficult regardless of whether you cut crosswise or lengthwise. After that place the halves flat side down and have at it. As for the knife, I would use a good chef's knife. Probably because that's what I have. If I had a cleaver, I might try that.

Re: [CnD] SLOW COOKER BACON WRAPPED APPLE CHICKEN
The bacon will cook along with the chicken in the slow cooker. But if you cook the bacon just a little before assembling the dish, you will end up with less bacon fat in the final product. I'm thinking just a quick zap in the microwave then drain the fat. This dish sounds delicious and I am definitely going to try it. I bet it would be good with chicken legs.

Re: [CnD] Fresh Herbs
I use fresh herbs in salads and when roasting vegetables. Sage is wonderful in roast chicken.

Re: [CnD] Roasting vegetables
What vegetables you are roasting will determine how long and which go in first etc. For example, root vegetables like carrots, turnips and potatoes take almost twice as long as something like green beans, where as asparagus takes as little as eight or nine minutes depending on the thickness of the stalks and the degree of doneness you like. That wasn't very helpful, was it? Lol! But if you can be more specific, I can probably give you better guidance.

Re: [CnD] twice baked potatoes (recipe)
This is the basic recipe I like, though I adjust the amounts because I never make this many potatoes at once. As a side note, I like to fry the bacon in the oven. It's much less messy and there's no need to turn the bacon during cooking. Twice-Baked Potatoes Total Time:1 hr 50 min Prep:30 min Cook:1 hr 20 min Yield:12 to 16 servings Level:Easy Ingredients 8 baking potatoes, washed 3 tablespoons canola oil 2 sticks salted butter 1 cup bacon bits ( fry your own!) 1 cup sour cream 1 cup Cheddar or Jack cheese (or a mix of both), plus more for topping 1/2 cup whole milk 2 teaspoons seasoned salt 3 green onions, sliced Freshly ground black pepper Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through. Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F. With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet. Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.) Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Re: [CnD] perplexing problem.
Try a meat mallot like this one. http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Pounder-Tenderizer/dp/BDAQ7I Before cooking the meat, put it on a cutting board and cover it with either plastic wrap or wax paper. Now pound the heck out of it with the meat tenderizer. The pounding helps to breakdown the fibers and makes the meat more tender. You can do this with any meat though I mostly use mine for chicken. I am not especially recommending this particular meat mallot, so shop around and find one you like. I hope that helps. Kimber On 4/8/16, Curtis Delzer via Cookinginthedarkwrote: > Hi all!

Re: [CnD] Salmon Loaf
It's no more difficult than meatloaf, though it's probably the least appealing way to prepare salmon. Why not get a fillet or salmon steak? Throw that baby in the oven with some lemon and maybe dill and you are ready to rock 'n' roll.
