IcePrincessKRS Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 lol You're hired Flowery! You're one of the few people I would trust alone with Adrienne. Honestly, I'm such a paranoid parent. There's some people I know well, even some that I'm related to that I'd never leave her with. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullnaChinaShop Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 That nacho dish sounds really good. Lauren and I had a few friends over last night and made homemade pizza. I enjoy cooking. :chef: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~runnergurl~ Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I had a good cooking weekend myself. I like to experiment in the kitchen, and a couple of my friends have been willing guinea pigs on a several occasions. Whoa. Read that too fast and thought you said you made guinea pigs. I was about to have a chat with you :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 :huh: Yeah, no, I've never cooked guinea pigs. :D I like to experiment, yes, but that's a little extreme even for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Once you get a few things that you're really good at cooking (I almost typed God at cooking lol) its easier to move on and try new things. Our stand-bys are chilli, chicken alfredo, and a couple other things, but when I ask Matt what he wants for dinner it is often one of those 2 because he likes it so much. He's very easy to please so long as the dish is relatively veggie free, and doesn't have onions. lol To me thats boring, I want to try other things. I remember the first thing my mom ever had me cook on my own was summer squash and zuchinni, sliced, and cooked in butter, with a dash of salt and pepper. I thought it looked so gross. lol We were homeschooled, and she called it "Home Ec" but I think it really meant "You get to cook dinner tonight."

I had very similar experiences when I was homeschooled in sixth grade. We also got the famous "we don't need to buy a dishwasher -- we have four already (kids, that is)." Parents think they're so funny ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicAndFanatical Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hey that blackened chicken dish sounds great. Can you post the recipe or would you have to kill me after telling me? I love cooking, mostly Italian food though, i swear I should bottle my sauce. But I wanna make other things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Well, I guess you could twist my arm into telling... Kilroy, if you try making it, its good but probably not quite to par with Hobbit. You'll still want to go there for the original. On a plate arrange about 1/2 a bag of tortilla chips (flour or corn, your preferance), top with 1 can black beans (or you can cook them yourself from dried beans) On stove top cook and season about 2 chicken breasts (I made it blackened but you can make the chicken however you prefer), when totally cooked slice and arrange on top of beans and chips. Top with cheddar and monterey jack cheeses. If you like jalapenos you can put a few thin slices of the pepper on top of the coagulated milk prior to melting. Pop into microwave or oven and heat until coagulated milk is melted. Serve with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. To blacken the chicken: Use blackening seasoning or cajun seasoning and coat the chicken pretty generously. Put a little bit of olive oil in a fry pan, and cook the chicken completely on a med-hi or hi setting. You'll want to keep the fan on or a window open because this does smoke a bit during cooking (its supposed to). Essentially what you want to achieve is nice tender fully cooked chicken breasts with the seasoning on the outside carmelized and blackened. The meat doesn't burn, but the seasonings turn black. Guacamole--1 or 2 avacados, mashed 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, crushed or garlic powder to taste lemon or lime juice a couple teaspoons of chopped tomato cilantro I just mix these ingredients, varying the ammounts, until I think it tastes right. Some people also add a little bit of onion. Pico de gallo--this is essentially homemade salsa 2 roma tomatoes (thats what I used tonight but I don't think it really matters what kind you use as long as you're happy with the result) about 1/2 an onion, chopped FINELY cilantro lime juice 1 small jalapeno chopped FINELY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanheart Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='99774' date='Jan 18 2004, 10:54 PM']Don't you love it when you make those meals that taste so good even [i][b]you [/b][/i]think you're the awesomest cook ever? I did that tonight. I made black bean nachos with blackened chicken. Those of you in Houston, if you've gone to the Hobbit thats one of the dishes they serve, so if you haven't tried it I suggest you do one of these days because its awesome! When I made it tonight I figured I'd end up with a cheap Hobbit-dish-imitation, but this came out sooo good it was like I was sitting there eating it in the restaraunt. I had sour cream, and pico de gallo, and guacamole on the side. It was SO good.[/quote] And now I'm hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
