Super Cedar Dressing

 

Cooking with cedar;
Baked Carp

That's Carp not crap.

We all know what carp is right?

Anyway clean the carp fish in your favorite way of cleaning fish. Wash them well after the inters and all are removed. Soak in salt water overnite in the frig. This will remove all the blood and some of the real fishy smell.

Fine yourself a nice clean cedar shingle to bake them on and set the oven to 350.

Soak the shingle in water for about 30 minutes to keep it from burning in the oven.

Next lay the fish on the board and smother with chopped onions, salt and peper.

Should have mentioned this earlier you need about 1 gallon of clean dirt. Not dirt out of the cattle lot but nice clean dirt from your garden or somewhere.

Add enough water to the dirt so you can form it into a ball to hold it together.

Now take the mud and form a nice layer over the smothered fish, totally covering the fish onions and all.

Slide that shingle with the fish into your oven for about 60 minutes or until you think the fish is done.

Pull the fish out of the oven and carefully uncover the mud off of the fish.


Now throw the fish away and eat the mud. It will taste better than that dam carp anyway

 

Here is a little comfort food. This is just a toss together recipe I made, so the cooking time is sort of a guess.

Cheesy baked bean and kielbasa casserole.




Ingredients


1 can of baked beans

1 pack of kielbasa or your favorite pre-cooked sausage

3 tablespoons brown sugar

Mashed potatoes

2 cups of cheddar cheese


Using a 9" x 9" baking dish, pour the can of beans across the bottom of the dish and spread out evenly.

Slice the kielbasa in half then on an angle and lay across the beans.




Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the kielbasa.

Mix 1 cup of the cheese in with mashed potatoes. Spread the potatoes over the top.

Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top and bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until it is heated well through.

 

Ok when the book comes out I want one!!!

 

Tried these out this morning. It's a hit in my book! Like the additional nutrition value vs standard buttermilk pancakes, and they are lighter eating. Pass the syrup!

 

My favorite is honey. Or peanut butter. Or peanut butter and honey. Or spiced blueberry jam. You know, anything.

My wife bought a jar of cinnamon creamed honey from a local at a market a while ago. That is perfect on these cakes.

 

That sounds really good, I may try these next weekend

 

Sorry, couldn't get this formatted to .docx. So I'll just post...

I'm going to find my grandmom's Hot Bacon Dressing recipe. It's awesome. PA Dutch food is very underrated.

OK, Thanks Pete.
What I forgot to mention was, since you'll be using a full cup of wine, you might want to divide it through the three basting cycles. The last baste isn't enough time to burn off the alcohol, so go lighter - or not

 

Lazy Mans Morning Muffins

Mix a batch of cornbread per instructions. Brown pork sausage and add to cornbread. Bake in muffin tins sprayed with nonstick spray. Make a large batch so there are a lot left. Cut in half, butter and drizzle with honey or pancake syrup. Let remaining muffins cool and then place in zip lock bag or Tupperware and freeze. On lazy morning throw a couple in microwave for 1 minute, go pour a cup of coffee and drink half of it to give time for the frost to let out. Put one more minute in and remove and enjoy. These freeze remarkably well.

Baked Cauliflower

1 Head of Cauliflower
1 can Cream of Celery Soup
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
few dabs of Butter
Paprika to taste

Clean the Cauliflower head and leave whole. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil with the Cauliflower in it. Turn back to simmer over medium heat until the Cauliflower starts to get tender. At this time a fork can be pierced into it without much effort. Remove the Cauliflower from the pot. Pre heat the oven to 350F. In a greased baking dish spread half the can of Cream of Celery soup on the bottom. Place the Cauliflower in the dish and top with the remainder of the soup base. A few dollops of butter on top and pour the Parmesan Cheese on and finish with sprinkling Paprika on top. Bake for 20 minutes in the pre heated oven. It should come to a nice golden brown and cut as easy as a hot knife through country butter.

 

Southwest Mac n Cheese

Make (4) box's of Kraft Mac & Cheese per the directions in a 12 qt stock pan.

Start to brown 1-2 lbs of ground beef or turkey in a large skillet while waiting for water to boil.

Add chopped hot green chiles, I leave the seeds in and just remove the skins and stems. If using fresh large roasted chiles I use about (12-15) whole ones, finely chopped.

Add a bag of frozen mixed veggies or (2) cans of drained cut green beans.

Cover and allow the beef/turkey to brown, and the veggies to cook/heat up, stir to mix ingredients.


Finish preparing the Mac n Cheese in the 12qt pan.

Drain excess liquid from skillet; frozen veggies/chiles and meat will add liquid so if a large amount remains drain most of it out. Too much liquid will make the finished dish a bit soggy.

Add the meat/veggies to the prepared Mac n Cheese and mix well.

This will yield about 9-10 adult servings.

Pictures to follow after I reheat a bowl Friday.
