Mr Jeff, Reading through your recipes, I find that you must enjoy cooking and you seem also to inspire others. I for one, appreciate what you are doing. I am not much of a cook, but I won't starve. Your efforts are appreciated. I just wanted to put that out there just as a moment of thanks. Agreed! |

This is one of my very favorite ways to prepare chicken.

In a medium bowl, combine the mushrooms, bread crumbs, tarragon, parsley, raisins, walnuts, apples, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/2 cup of the whiskey honey mix and 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. If necessary, add a little more butter to moisten. Lay the chicken breasts on a work surface and brush the tops with some of the remaining melted butter. Season with the; sea salt and the black pepper to taste. Place 1 tablespoon of stuffing in the center of each breast. Fold in the sides, envelope style, and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared dish. Brush again with the remaining melted butter and bake for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup of the Irish whiskey honey mix with the chicken stock and pour over the chicken. Cook, basting 2 or 3 times, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with the sauce spooned over the top.

I was asked if I had some Vegan recipes I do but not many. I like my meat and potatoes indeed. This is a good recipe I have made before for a friend that was a vegan.
VEGAN MAC and CHEESE Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1 1/2 pounds pasta, preferably macaroni "Cheese" Sauce: 1 1/2 cups unsweetened nondairy milk 1 1/2 cups nutritional yeast 1 cup canola or vegetable oil 1 cup of vegetable broth 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce 1/4 (12 ounce) block firm (not silken) tofu 1 tbsp of garlic powder and 1 tbsp of onion powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon vegesal or in lack of fancy product, just use sea salt 1 dollop mustard dark or brown Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water in a big pot and cook pasta according to package directions. Add all of the "cheese" sauce ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Once pasta is cooked, drain and put it in the baking pan (about the size of a brownie pan). Pour the "cheese" sauce over the pasta. Bake until the top of the pasta looks slightly browned and crispy, about 15 minutes. |

VEGAN GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE 1-1/2 cups nondairy milk 1 (2.5-ounce) cube veggie bouillon 1 to 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 1/2 medium onion, diced 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms (button, crimini, portabella, whatever) 1 carrot, diced 1/2 tsp of basil 1/2 tsp of garlic 1/2 tsp of marjoram 1/2 tsp of oregano 1/2 tsp of pepper 1/2 tsp of sage 1/2 tsp of sea salt 1/2 tsp of thyme 2 or 3 tablespoons cornstarch or potato starch 2 or 3 tablespoons cold water 1 15 oz can French cut green beans 1-1/2 (24-ounce) canisters vegan French fried onions In a saucepan, heat the nondairy milk and veggie bouillon; stir until bouillon cube disintegrates. Just heat the milk, do not boil or scald it. In a skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions, mushrooms, and carrots; sauté until the onions are translucent. Add the herbs and spices (basil, garlic, marjoram, oregano, pepper, sage, salt, and thyme - and whatever other hearty herbs make you happy). Make a thickener by combining cornstarch and cold water; mix well. Pour into the nondairy milk-bouillon mixture. Stir well, because this will coagulate pretty quickly. Quickly add the can of green beans, the sautéed veggies, and about half of the French fried onions; stir well. Pour that mixture into a casserole dish or pan and top with remaining French fried onions. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the French fried onions begin to brown. Remove. Eat. Enjoy. |

Stuffed Vegan Cheesy Tamales 12 corn husks (tin foil can be used) 1 1/2 cup cooked vegan crumbles (I use Boca) 1 cup water 1 (1 1/4 ounce) taco seasoning packet 3/4 cup onions, chopped 2 tsp of minced garlic 1/2 (15 ounce) can black beans 1/4 cup of veggie broth 1/4 cup of tomato sauce 3/4 cup of tomatoes, chopped 3 tbsp of chopped jalapenos or verde sauce 1/2 cup corn (frozen can be used) 1 1/2 cups shredded vegan cheese (I use Nutritional Foods shredded cheese) 1 (4 pound) bag corn mesa (replace lard with veggie shortening or olive oil) Rehydrate corn husks in water (weighted down, if necessary) for 20-30 minutes, until workable. In a large sided pan, mix precooked meat crumbles with water and taco seasoning. Set aside. Sauté; the onions and the garlic until soft. Add to the spiced crumbles. Add the beans, veggie broth, tomato sauce, tomato, and chopped jalapeno or verde hot sauce. Add corn until cooked (if frozen). Add cheese and stir in until melted and gooey. Cook filling down until it's not so runny. Let in cool! Mesa will melt if filling is to warm. Refrigerate if necessary. Follow the directions of the mesa box; replace the lard with veggie shortening or olive oil. Use hand mixer to beat until light and fluffy (you can take a small ball of it and try to float it in 1 cup warm water. Add more shortening until it floats. It should be the consistency of peanut butter when slathered. Pat the rehydrated corn husks down, so the mesa sticks. Spread a thin layer of mesa on husk leaving all sides open to roll. (Very important that it is thin) Put a little plop of filling in the middle, roll the husk around it so the mesa meets and covers the filling. Tie the ends together. Steam in a large pot for 50-90 minutes (depends on how stuffed it is). When mesa is firm and the husk pulls away cleanly, they are done. |

Okay Tazz, I have a recipie request...corned beef brisket. Love stuffed cabbage with corned beef too. I never can cook the brisket right so I resort to the canned stuff.
 You cook like this just for yourself? You're a chef?  Food seems to spoil too quick for me to keep much on hand but now my daughter and her two babies have moved in with me this week and I can get back to cooking real meals again.

Here is the one I make for Saint Patrick's day. So you can take your choice on which recipe you can make.
IRISH BOILED DINNER 1 (3 1/2 lb.) fresh beef brisket 2 (12 oz.) bottles Lager beer 2 cups of water (or enough to just cover) 2 bay leaves 10 black peppercorns 1/2 cup of chopped parsley 2 tsp. of sea salt 2 tbsp. butter or olive oil 3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced 2 cups of chopped and rinsed leeks (white parts only) 1 med. yellow onion, peeled and sliced 1 lb. lg. carrots, cut into lg. pieces 1 lb. sm. red potatoes 1 lb. turnips, peeled and quartered 2 lbs. green cabbage, cut in sixths (secure with toothpicks) Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Place an 8 to 10 quart Dutch oven on the burner and add the beef, beer, water, bay leaves, peppercorns, parsley, and salt. Heat a frying pan and sauté the garlic, leeks, and yellow onion for a few minutes then add to the Dutch oven. Cover and simmer gently for 3 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender. (This will normally take about 1 hour per pound of brisket.) In the last 25 minutes of cooking, add the carrots and red potatoes. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the turnips, cabbage, salt, and pepper. If the vegetables are not done to your liking, cook them longer but do not overcook. Remove the toothpicks from the cabbage before serving. |
