Simple but Really Good Man Recipes.

Did this the other night. Incredibly easy and extremely tasty.

If counting calories and fat, use low fat or fat-free cream cheese and don't eat (all of) the skin.

Preparation time 15 minutes (more like 7 minutes actually)
Roasting Time 45 minutes

Makes 6 servings

- 1/4 (8 oz) 250 g block or container regular or spreadable cream cheese
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) store-bought or homemade pesto
- 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
- olive oil
- pinches of salt, pepper and garlic powder


Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a medium-size bowl, stir or mash cream cheese until smooth. Stir in pesto. Divide into 6 portions. Using your fingers, tuck each portion between skin and meat of each breast and push to centre of breast. Using your palm, gently press down on chicken skin until cheese is evenly distributed under skin.

Lightly brush skin with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place on baking sheet.

Roast, uncovered, in centre of preheated oven until chicken skin is richly golden and chicken feels springy when pressed, 45 to 55 minutes. Do not turn. If some of cheese leaks out during roasting, scoop up and serve beside chicken.

 

Here's another easy one that you can start making in the morning: 3-4 lb roast (beef), 1 jar giardiniera peppers (or) 1 jar banana peppers. put roast in a crockpot and dump the jar over with the juice and all and cook on low for 8-9 hours and you got yourself some kickass italian beef for sammiches.

 

Heres a good one

Oh yes I forgot the open front and rear doors and fan the smoke alarm steps

 

Go to a Butcher Shop.

Ask for a Butterfly-ed Leg of Lamb.

Place it in a flat dish.

Pour a bottle ow Wish Bone Italian Salad Dressing over it.

Leave it in the Fridge overnight.

Take it out the next evening and throw it on the BBQ.

Ladle on the salad dressing as you flip it over and over.

Watch out for FLAMES.

Don't over cook it.

 

My favorite dessert......

Two cups of Ricotta Cheese......a dash of coffee grounds.........a dash of cinnamon........a dash of Fry's cocoa powder.......finally some vanilla extract, plus about 30 drops of Nutrasweet.

You feel satisfied just like you are eating something decadent made in Paris.....and it is good for you.

 

Did EXACTLY that with exactly that dressing last week. Still have about 4 portions of thin sliced lamb for sandwiches sitting in the freezer. YUM!

 

Yum!

Another easy way to prepare lamb (or chicken), this time Greek style!

Cavender's, garlic, salt, lemon juice. Boom....Simple

Right.

 

Ooh that's a good one I'll try it! Right now I am having:

1 part limoncello
1 part lime sorbet (or key lime sorbet)
blend together and serve in a flute

Great for when you don't want desert to fill you up, and don't feel like a real after dinner drink, but still want to finish the meal off nicely. Mmm.

 

One my mom taught me when I was 18 and we still make it today:

1. 4 cube steaks
2. Double can of mushroom soup
3. Flour, salt, pepper
4. Olive oil

Pre-heat an electric skillet to 375 with about 1/4 cup olive oil

Mix about a cup of flour with a teaspoon each of salt and pepper and put
on a plate.

Wash the cube steaks, then drag through the steak through the flour/salt/pepper
mix and completely coat.

Fry the cube steaks until golden brown, flip and do the other side.

Mix the double can (or 2 small cans) of mushroom soup with a cup of water and
mix up until it's smooth.

Once the cube steaks are lightly browned on both sides, smother in the soup
and water mix. Cook about 20 minutes at 300 degrees, covered.

Serve over Minute Rice (follow the box).

YUM!

 

Cut off a lamp cord after in line switch.

Separate wires.

Strip off two inches of insulation.

Wrap each wire around a fork.

Stick forks into ends of a hot dog.

Suspend hot dog in the air. Wrapping wire around a goose neck lamp works fine.

Plug in.

Turn on switch.

After a minute or two turn off switch, remove hot dog and enjoy.

 

HOBO 'NAPOLIS LIVES FURTHER ON THE EDGE THAN WE THOUGHT!

 

Another good one is:

Open a can of beer.

Place it on BBQ.

Place a salted chicken, cavity over the can on top.

Pour another can of beer over the chicken.

Don't over cook.

Catch a fish. Gut and scale it.

Salt it.

Wrap it in aluminum foil.

Place it on the exhaust manifold of your car.

Drive for 200 miles.

Enjoy.

Go down to the River.

Dig some clay.

Cover a salted chicken in clay.

Place the clay covered chicken on a wood fire.

When the clay is baked crack it open and enjoy.

(In fancy restaurants in Hong Kong they give you a golden hammer to crack it open)

There's almost nothing that won't go with bread.

 

Too easy. How do you modify the beans?

 

True

I suppose you could bake your own

 

Yeah, or just tweak the Bush's to taste!

 

Good stuff, Siracha too!

 

Mmmm Sriracha, love that stuff!

 

This was awesome.

(no beer, though)

 

Once in a while I wish I had a microwave!
