Open-faced provelone chicken melt.

Ingredients:
* Chicken breast, boneless, fat trimmed.
* 4 oz olive oil.
* Multi-grain bread, sliced.
* Low-fat provelone cheese, sliced.
* Clove of garlic.
* Oregano.
* Tomato.
* Green pepper (or substitute red bell pepper or even one of those orange things).
* Salt/pepper.

Lightly season chicken breast. Pound to even thickness. Saute in 2 oz olive oil for ten minutes on each side.

Drizzle 2 oz of olive oil on the bread (good for 3-4 slices). Rub with garlic. Place bread in broiler for one minute.

Slice tomatos and pepper (room temperature for best taste!), and place on chicken. Put the chicken on the bread and a slice of cheese on top. Add a little oregano. Broil for two minutes. Share and enjoy!

Ed's Internationally Famous Burritos Italiano.
Highly sought after in both Florida and Manitoba!

Ingredients:
* Ground sirloin.
* Italian Breadcrumbs.
* Olive oil.
* Low-Carb burrito wraps (lots of "health food wraps" on the market, but actual burrito wraps work best).
* Low-fat cheese (provelone and/or mozzerella).
* Your favorite tomato sauce.
* Garlic.
* Basil.
* Oregano.
* Sliced pepperoni.
* OPTIONAL: Grilled chicken, italian sausage.

Drizzle a bit of olive oil on one side (the outside) of the burrito wrap. Rub it with garlic.

Place a slice of cheese on the inside.

Make SMALL meatballs from the ground sirloin and a little bit of breadcrumbs. Place 3 or four, depending on size, over cheese. THESE DO NOT NEED TO BE VERY BIG. You'll be surprized!

Add a little red sauce.

Add a slice or two of pepperoni.

Add a little mozzerella.

Add a little basil.

Wrap nice and tight, add a little oregano on top, bake.

Some like to eat it with a fork and knife. Some like to add more red sauce. I like it just the way it is, nice and sloppy with my bare hands. Share and enjoy!

Per requests: The recipe for peanut butter crepes. Though I can't remember how I found this site, they are tasty.

I cruse the interwebs for recipes when I don't feel like hitting my cookbooks. I'll get around to posting some of my favorites once Double XP is over.

Favorite Recipes On the Internets:

Pumpkin Ricotta Pudding:

http://www.inmamaskitchen.com/RECIPES/RECIPES/Desserts/Pumpkin_Ricotta_Pudding.html

Besides substituting vanilla for the cloves, I usually use 16 oz (the can) of pumpkin and an equal amount of Ricotta while keeping everything else the same and it usually turns out fine. The dish keeps very well in the fridge, and I have it when I want something different for breakfast.

Spetsofai:

http://kalofagas.blogspot.com/2008/04/spetsofai.html

I've had eggplant dishes, I've had sausage and pepper dishes, this is by far my favorite. The blog's a really good read on Greek cuisine, but sadly my tight budget makes it hard to try out a majority of the recipes.

Spicy Shrimp:

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/08/spicy_shrimp_yu/

I don't often get to slurge on shrimp, but when I do, I make this. I shell the shrimp before cooking, as I only have to cook for myself and I really don't want to think about what happens to leftover shrimp in the freezer with the shells on. I skip the butter, salt, and bread and serve this on brown rice. Very tasty.

Baked Catfish with Lemon Aioli*
South Beach Diet, Phase I

Aioli--a fancy term for garlic-flavored mayonnaise--can be easily made at home with store-bought mayo. It makes a great sauce for this and other fish dishes.

1 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1-1/2 lbs catfish fillets
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1-1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground back pepper

Heat oven to 400*F. Mix together thyme and cayenne and rub onto catfish; season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.

Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Bake fish until opaque and cooked throughout, about 14 minutes.

While fish is baking, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic in a small mixing bowl to make aioli. Serve fish hot with aioli.

Makes 4 servings

The snapper was delicious, but the Aioli definately overpowered it. This is not a dish that lends itself to delicate fish. There is no subtle blending here, the flavors will compete for your attention so you are best served to choose a fish with a stonger flavor that you enjoy.

My 1/50th of a dollar...

Wow, I have so many recipes that I could post here, but there's not a one that's remotely healthy. OK, maybe one that I can think of. I'd like to post my stuff but dunno if this is the appropriate forum for recipes that call for cream and entire sticks of butter.

Suggestions?

So I was inspired by the season and got all inventy. Here are the results of tonight's experiment.

Pumpkin Harvest Stew and Sweet Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

Step 1
2 lbs Ground Beef
2 Lg. Onions, quartered and sliced
3T Minced Garlic
Step 2
3 Med. Potatoes, diced
1 Small (or ½ large) rutabaga, diced
3 Stalks of Celery, sliced
3 Carrots, sliced
2 Parsnips, sliced
Step 3
1 Lg. Pumpkin
Vegetable Oil
Step 4
1 Lg. Chayote Squash
2 Italian Squash, partly peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 Pasilla Pepper, diced
2 Bell Peppers, mixed colors, diced
1 T. Diced Pimentos
5 oz. Mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 Pear, diced
2-4 Fresh Jalapenos, minced
2 C. Cooked Rice
1 t. Sage
1 t. Cumin
1 T. Chili Powder
2 t. Salt
1 t. Pepper
Pepper Sauce, to taste
Chicken Broth
Step 5
3 T Butter
2 T Sugar
½ t. Salt
½ t. Ground Cinnamon
¼ t. Nutmeg
¼ t. Ground Clove

Instructions
Step 1
Sauté Ground Beef, Onion, and Garlic in large skillet or stew pot. Pour into colander to drain, reserving ¼ C. of the liquid for step 2. (you should cook the rice for step 4 now if you haven’t already)
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400°F. In reserved beef liquid sauté Potatoes and Rutabaga until they just start to brown. Add Celery, Carrots, and Parsnips. Continue to sauté for about five minutes. Take off the heat and set aside.
Step 3
Pare the stem off of the Pumpkin until flush with the highest point of the Pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin in half horizontally. Remove the seeds and hollow out the Pumpkin by removing all loose fibrous material. Optimally the rind will be 1” to 1½” in thickness. Place both halves of the Pumpkin uncovered with the cut side up on baking sheets. Lightly apply Oil to all exposed pumpkin surfaces. Place Pumpkin in oven for 45 minutes.
Step 4
While pumpkin is blind baking prepare and mix all Step 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. After the pumpkin halves have been baking for 45 minutes remove from the oven. Drain and pat both halves dry with paper towels. (a turkey baster is really helpful here) Spoon in Beef mixture, Potato mixture, and the Vegetable / spice mixture into pumpkin halves in layers. Pour Chicken Broth liberally over the contents of both Pumpkin halves. Leave room for additional liquid as the Pumpkin will continue to release 1-2 cups of additional liquid. Cover with aluminum foil and return to oven for an additional 45 minutes. (if you have excess filling you can add chicken broth and cook it for a couple of hours in a slow-cooker)
Step 5
Remove Pumpkin halves from the oven. Remove the contents from the Pumpkin halves carefully and place in a serving dish. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Remove any remaining liquid from the Pumpkin halves and pour over stew. pat both halves dry with paper towels. Scrape cooked Pumpkin out of the rind and place in a food processor or blender along with all Step 5 ingredients and puree. Serve the soup with a light garnish of cinnamon, if desired.
