I made shepherd's pie and peach cobbler last night.... my family looooooved me!  :shucks:



especially since there are lots of leftovers...
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

In honor of the first 100 degree day of 2013, I am making:

Cold Chicken Salad Burritos
(Don't call it a "Wrap"!)

1 lb cooked chicken meat, chopped (I use leftover roasted chicken)
1 egg, hard boiled and chopped
1 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (whichever you prefer)
1/2 cup dill relish, drained
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped or shredded
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup English walnuts, chopped
1/2 tsp coarse Kosher or sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika

1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
6-8 Flour tortillas

In glass or plastic mixing bowl, combine all ingredients EXCEPT lettuce, cheese, and tortillas.

Spoon 1/2 to 2/3 cup of the mixture onto tortilla. Add cheese and lettuce. Roll into burrito shape with one end folded (or pin with toothpick). Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.

Serve with cold vegetable of your choice (I like cucumbers and tomatoes with salt); salt and vinegar chips; iced tea, and cold beer or chilled white wine.

No, Men and Women enjoy the eating; but my recipes are written for Men to prepare. (You Women are welcome to use them!)

My first try at a book was Men Gotta Eat, a tutorial cookbook for Men with no culinary experience.

That would have been a hit!! Especially for single men going out on their own. A cookbook that would provide good wholesome meals on a budget.
Most of the recipes that you have posted are easy enough to make, and contain common ingredients already found in the cupboard and fridge.

Thanks, but I couldn't find a publisher who agreed with you. I refuse to use a vanity press, and join the ranks of gNads and Wee Willie Pitt.

When  Jimmy John's opened locally, everyone was gaga over it. I ate their once. It was a good, overpriced sandwich. I never went back.

Pork ribs are on sale again, so I made some more pork ribs.  Easiest thing in the world to prepare... you just need a large pot and about a gallon of soda.

Father's Day- I made a Big Man's Breakfast (eggs, fried potatoes, sausage, sourdough toast).

Dinner: Grilled ribeyes with sauteed mushrooms, Cheddar mashed potatoes, green beans cooked with tomatoes, onion, and garlic, corn bread, and Chocolate Chunk Hazelnut ice cream with coffee. Followed by an evening cigar and bourbon.
