Grilled Shrimp
This is a fantastic recipe for the BBQ season. really simple to prepare
and make. The magic of this is the dip served on the side.
Ingredients:
1 small onion
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 pound of the biggest shrimp you can get your hands on!
Dip:
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
the juice of a lime.
Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients for the dip together. If it's too tart for
your taste, add a little water to dilute or some honey to sweeten.
2. finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. mix this all together
and toss in the shrimp. Leave it to marinate in the fridge for at least
3 or 4 hours.
3. grill the shrimp over a medium hot charcoal fire for no more than a
minute on each side. dip into the sauce and enjoy!
They're easier to handle if you put them on a skewer prior to grilling.
If you're using wood or bamboo skewers, remember to soak them in water
for a while before putting on the grill, otherwise they'll burn!

Spaghetti Bolognese, Bouquet Garni
Straight from Northern Italy... savory Bolognese meat sauce served on a mound of hot spaghetti. The Bolognese sauce can be made and kept, covered, in the refrigerator 24 hours. The spaghetti should be cooked just before serving.
Spaghetti Bolognese
This recipe serves 4 to 6 as a main course.
1 pound Spaghetti
1/2 cup Grated parmesan cheese
BOLOGNESE SAUCE
2 medium Onions
2 Garlic cloves
1 medium Carrot
2 pounds Tomatoes
1/4 cup Vegetable oil
3/4 pound Ground beef
3/4 pound Ground lean pork
1 cup Milk
1 1/2 cups Dry white wine
1 tablespoon Tomato paste
1 Bouquet garni (see below)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 cups Water
1) Finely chop the onions. Chop the garlic. Chop the carrot into small dice.
2) Peel and seed the tomatoes, then chop them fairly coarsely.
3) Heat the oil in the saute pan, add the chopped onions, garlic, and carrot and saute until soft but not brown, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
4) Add the ground meats and saute, stirring, until they lose their pink color, about 5 minutes. Break up any lumps in meat with edge of spoon while sauteing.
5) Pour in the milk and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Slow cooking, especially at the start, is the key to a good Bolognese sauce. If the meat boils, it will be tough.
6) Add the wine and continue simmering until it has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes longer.
7) Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, bouquet garni, salt, and pepper, then add the water and simmer until the sauce is thick, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
8) Discard the bouquet garni and taste the sauce for seasoning.
9) Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil, and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the spaghetti and simmer until tender but still chewy, 10 to 12 minutes, or according to package directions, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. Meanwhile, if necessary, reheat the Bolognese sauce.
10) Drain the spaghetti in the colander, rinse with hot water, and drain again thoroughly. To serve, pile the hot spaghetti in warmed individual bowls or on plates, spoon the meat sauce on top, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bouquet Garni
A simple but flavorful "broth posy" consisting of:
3 stalks parsley,
1 sprig thyme and
1 bay leaf
Tie the herbs together in a little bundle with a piece of sting. Add the bouquet garni to any stew, sauce or casserole you're preparing and remove the bouquet garni before serving. You can use either fresh or dried herbs.

KUGELIS (Grated Potato Pudding)
Old-Fashioned and "Mmm, Mmm, Good!"
KUGELIS (Grated Potato Pudding)
From Kay Pocius, 1967 Kugelis Queen - Chicago, IL
4 lbs. white potatoes
1 med. onion
1/2 lb. bacon
1 small can evaporated milk
1 c. whole milk
6 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Peel and grate fine the potatoes and onion. Cut bacon in small pieces and fry until crisp. Pour fat and bacon over potato-onion mixture. Beat eggs and add to potatoes. Add both milks and salt and pepper; stir well.
Pour into a greased pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1-2 hours, or until crispy brown.
Depth of potato mixture should be no less than 2 1/2 inches in baking pan.
Cook's Note: The consistency of the grated potatoes you want to achieve is that similar to a thick milkshake. Get out and prepare all ingredients before grating potatoes so that the grated potatoes do not sit as they will darken quickly. Potatoes can be cubed and grated in blender or food processor (not shredded). As potatoes are blending, all the remaining ingredients can be added so that it mixes well.

Coleslaw
Many years ago this was printed in our local newspaper as the KFC coleslaw recipe. It is very good. Every time I take it as a potluck dish, everyone wants the recipe.
Coleslaw (Serves 4 to 6)
1 head cabbage (approximately 2-3 lbs) grated fine
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 T. finely diced carrot
Coleslaw dressing
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 T. white vinegar
2 T. vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salad dressing
Adjust the amount of cabbage to how creamy you like your slaw. It seems best when Chopped in the food processor, but I have just chopped the cabbage by hand when time was short. This does need to set in the fridge for at least an hour to meld all the flavors.
This dressing can be made days ahead of when you need it. Enjoy

Baked Chicken Legs, Quarters
This is as easy as it gets!
I always do this with legs, thighs or whole quarters. I have several
different ways I like to prepare the breast, but for some reason, this works
better with the dark meat.
Zip-lock bag of appropriate size
A bottle of your favorite Italian Salad dressing, for this I prefer
Wishbone.
White wine
Prepare marinade by mixing The salad dressing and wine...3 Dressing to 1Wine
in an appropriate quantity for the amount of Chicken, about a cup for each 2
Quarters sections.
Rinse chicken well in cold water and pat dry then place in Ziploc with
marinade
Place in Refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight works fine.
In an appropriate size oven safe bowl with a lid, like corning ware, bake
covered at 325 degrees for 1 hour. I like to use a rack in the bowl so the
chicken doesn't sit in the marinade
Remove cover and arrange chicken so skin side is up, baste skin with liquid
in dish and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt.
Finish Uncovered for 15 more minutes until skin turns crispy.
I like to serve this with Yellow rice, I prefer Vigo brand.
If You would like a nice Italian sauce with this, combine a little water and
a teaspoon of corn starch and mix with the drippings, while baking
uncovered.
Enjoy! Max

Italian Pork Chops
Italian Pork Chops
These chops are the most moist and flavorful pork chops I have ever eaten. They are baked and healthy for you. If you wish to trim fat go ahead, but it will not be as flavorful! For a sauce, I like to place a little chicken broth and a cup of canned crushed Italian seasoned tomatoes in a pot with the pan drippings and let that condense. I serve this with garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned Italian green beans. Place a little of the sauce on top of the mashed potatoes and you have a dinner fit for a King & Queen.
6 beautiful center cut pork chops - leave the fat on them!
2 medium or one very large tomato cut into 6 slices
2 medium or one very large onion cut into 6 slices
2 large green bell peppers cut into 6 slices
6 cloves crushed garlic (fresh)
Italian seasonings
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
Sear pork chops, but the searing is not meant to cook them through.
Place the pork chops into a large lightly olive oiled glass baking dish
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and place a portion of the garlic on each chop and use it all up!
Place a large slice of onion on top of the pork chop
Place a large slice of green pepper on the top of the onion
Then place a slice of tomato on the top of each onion
Sprinkle some Italian Seasoning and you can sprinkle some basal on top of this as well if you want.
Cover tightly with a lid, or with foil and bake for 30 to 45 minutes in a moderate oven 350°.
Guess what! This recipe serves 6.

Lasagna
Lasagna
1 pound ground beef (or ground sausage or both )
1 regular can tomato puree
2 large cans tomato sauce
1 small can Italian flavored tomato paste
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
Spices (I use basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, and parsley).
1 pound ricotta
1 cup parmesan
1 egg
Olive oil
1 pound mozzarella
Fresh mushrooms
Blanched spinach, optional
Lasagna noodles (usually a box and a half)
I don't use Hunt's tomato products because they can taste bitter.
Brown meat in olive oil with finely chopped onion and garlic. Drain meat but
save oil for sauce.
Refrigerate meat until ready to use. Heat tomato paste in oil until it's
thinned out a bit (5 minutes) Add
tomato sauce, tomato puree, mushrooms, and spices. Cook on medium for at
least 4 hours.
Mix together ricotta cheese, parmesan, parsley, and egg in a medium bowl.
Cook lasagna noodles right
before you're ready to put it together. Put a little sauce on the bottom of
the lasagna pan so that the
noodles don't stick. First layer of noodles go lengthwise in the pan. Make
sure that they overlap.
Sprinkle some meat on top of the noodles. Put a teaspoon of ricotta mix
every few inches along the
noodles. Sprinkle some mozzarella on top and cover with sauce. The next
layer should go crosswise.
Repeat until you use all ingredients. A layer of noodles on the top. Cover
with sauce and sprinkle with
remaining mozzarella. Heat in a 350 degrees F oven for about an hour.
Servings: 4

1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup mild molasses
3 eggs
1 cup lukewarm milk (100 degrees F to 105 degrees F)
Glaze:
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Sausage and Crawfish Spread
Sausage and Crawfish Spread
1 pound crawfish tails, chopped
1 pound hot pork sausage
A recipe of the Holy Trinity of Southern Cooking (chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fish seasoning, (Panola's blackened blend is best if you can find it)
1 medium box Velveeta cheese
Dash of All Things Southern Hot Sauce
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Couple loaves of a good French bread
Topping:
1 bundle chopped green onions
I've gotten us started by browning the Holy Trinity of Southern cooking on
stove along with a pound of Jimmy Dean hot pork sausage. For any Yankees
visiting today, the "The Holy Trinity of southern cooking" consists of chopped
onions, celery and bell pepper. Got it? Good. Now, we'll drain the sausage
and veggies and return them to the skillet.
It's time to stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup and a medium box of
Velveeta cheese. When the cheese melts we'll add a pound of chopped
crawfish tails. We'll season this hearty mixture with a tablespoon of minced
garlic, a teaspoon or so of a good fish seasoning, and a dash of All Things
Southern Hot Sauce. Allow it to cook over medium heat for about thirty minutes
and look-a-there! (Look-a-there is the southern equivalent of Voila.)
Spoon over French bread and top with chopped green onions - or serve
with rice. I've tried it both ways. Oh, and one more thing. Don't hurt yourself.
This is good eating!

The Power Of Cinnamon
The Power Of Cinnamon
More than 170 million people throughout the world suffer from
diabetes and the number continues to climb. Could it be that
many of these people could benefit from an easily accessible
product such as cinnamon?
This spice, which most of us have in our kitchen, has been
shown to have the power to cut blood sugar levels nearly as
much as statin drugs!
The magic ingredient in cinnamon is believed to be a substance
called MHCP. The MHCP is thought to be the reason cinnamon
reignites the ability of fat cells in diabetics to respond to
insulin and dramatically increase glucose removal.
In addition, two new studies reveal new evidence for the
beneficial effects of cinnamon as an anti-inflammatory agent
and support earlier research of its power as an anti-oxidant
agent and an agent able to lower cholesterol, triglycerides,
and glucose, and improve the functioning of insulin.
However, before you run out and buy a case of cinnamon, keep
the following in mind. Eating mouthfuls of cinnamon straight
from the bottle may not be the best solution. Table cinnamon is
not water soluble, which means it can build up in the body with
unknown consequences.
Also, some of the beneficial qualities of cinnamon, such as
lowering total cholesterol, only occurred by taking the capsule
form. It is believed that a persons saliva may have some
harmful effects on cinnamon.
Do not despair; there are still plenty of benefits if you dont
have time to get cinnamon capsules. It is my guess that most of
us will just use the cinnamon we have sitting in the cupboard.
Just a half a teaspoon a day is all you need to get the blood
sugar reducing benefits. You can also get the effect by simply
soaking a cinnamon stick in your next cup of tea.
While many type II diabetics are finding a great improvement in
their health with cinnamon supplementation, the good news does
not end with help for diabetes. Many non-diabetics are
discovering the energy boosting properties of this wonderful
spice and use cinnamon as a daily energy tonic.
There is also speculation by researchers that cinnamon can help
people with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a disease
were unusual amounts of insulin are produced by the pancreas in
response to a cancer tumor. This causes insulin resistance in
the cells and prevents the cell from getting glucose. In
theory, researchers think cinnamon might help overcome this
resistance.
Insulin resistance may also be involved in diseases such as
Alzheimers according to some scientists. Studies are ongoing
to test this theory.
The powers of cinnamon cannot be denied and its help for some
diabetics and pre-diabetics has been nothing short of
miraculous.
Of course, this does not mean to rush out and gorge on cinnamon
rolls and cinnamon flavored pie. There is too much sugar in that
diet. The best options are taking capsules or sprinkling a half
teaspoon of cinnamon on what you normally would eat.
Dont forget to inform your doctor before taking cinnamon as it
might have interactions with other medications.

Potato Bread
I have this recipe for potato bread. It's a lot of work since the dough has to rise a few times.
Potato Bread
3 1/2 Cup Milk
6 Tblsp. Sugar
6 Tblsp. Lard or butter
2 tsp. salt
1/4 C instant mashed potatoes (not reconstituted)
2 pkgs active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 - 115 degrees F)
10-11 cup sifted all-purpose flour
3 tbs cornmeal
Scald the milk; pour into large bowl and stir in sugar, lard, salt and instant mashed potatoes. Cook to lukewarm.
Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir to dissolve
Add yeast and 4 cups flour to milk mixture. Beat 2 minutes with electric mixer at medium speed or until batter is smooth. Mix in just enough of remaining flour, a little at a time, first with spoon and then with hands, to make a dough that leaves the sides of the bowl.
Turn onto lightly floured board; cover and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn dough over to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch dough down; cover and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Turn onto floured board and divide in 3 equal parts, round up in balls, cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grease 3 loaf pans (8-1/2X4-1/2X2-1/2"). Sprinkle bottoms and sides of pans with cornmeal (1 tblsp. each pan.)
Shape dough into loaves; place in pans, cover and let rise until doubled 50 to 60 minutes.
Bake in moderate oven (375 F) 45 minutes, or until loaves are rich brown and have a hollow sound when tapped with fingers. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.

Buffalo Chicken Strips
Buffalo Chicken Strips
Breading:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sauce:
1 Tablespoon Margarine or butter
1/4 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
some extra hot chili sauce like Tabasco or Srirracha (optional)
Chicken:
This recipe works with 2-3 breasts nicely (cut into strips)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt margarine (in a glass measuring cup in microwave) and mix in hot sauce and garlic. Pour into a clean bowl for tossing and set it aside. If Franks isn't quite hot enough for you, add some jalapeno juice or your favorite hot chili sauce (like Tabasco or srirracha) for extra heat.
Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Place strips in the flour bowl, coating each strip evenly. Put the strips in the refrigerator for 60-90 minutes. This will help the breading to stick to them when cooked.
Pan fry strips on Med-High heat 3-4 min each side in about 2 Tablespoons of oil to get crisp and cook mostly through. Toss in the bowl with the hot sauce. Place in oven for about 10-12 minutes. Then take out and throw back into hot sauce bowl for a final coat before serving.
Serve with celery, carrots and some blue cheese dressing or ranch dip. Enjoy!
NOTE: Do remember to refrigerate though, it helps the flour stick.
