looking for a recipie?

ask here, i have plenty. feel free to share yours as well!

I love reading recipes, but I'm not one of those people that follow them. Mostly I get an idea of what flavours might go together, and if the ingredients are very easy to get or are already in my fridge, I will have a crack at something inspired by a recipe. I havn't had a disaster yet....

At the moment, I am in love with coconut cream.
Cut potatos into thick slices, salt, pepper and coconut cream in the oven until some of the potatoes go crispy. You can add other roasting vegies like kumara if you like...so good...do they get kumara overseas?

Or coconut cream, sweet chilli sauce, chicken and mushroom and spaghetti. Real good.

whats kumera?

coconut cream?

Yah know.. the other day i actually used a graham cracker as a dipper for salsa!!


sounds gross, but it was good!! The salsa was a shite one originally, medium had that tabasco twang to it, Bleh.. But when i tried the graham cracker, it actually tasted somewhat decent!!

Heh, the other people were looking at me like i was eating a live mackeral or something!!

do you know how to make 'garlic sauce'? i fancy mussels but not sure on the recipe for the sauce

Ingredients:

3 large potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh sliced chives
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sour cream

Preheat oven to 475. Cut potatoes into wedges as you see fit. Mix spices in small bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream and olive oil. Add potatoes and toss to coat well. Sprinkle in spices, toss again, coating potatoes evenly (lot of tossing goin' on here). Place potatoes skin side down on a pan sprayed cooking sheet and bake for 25 mins at 475.


Enjoy with sourcream or salsa, or sprinkle with cheese.

that sounds pretty good!

i suppose vegetable oil can be used as a substitute for the olive oil?

Yuppers...in fact..I'm on a low fat diet so I use fat free sour cream...have thought about spraying the taters down with pam or a fat free spray of some sort instead of using the oil, but haven't tried it yet...

At any rate...makes for a great side dish or even a full meal if you fix it up with some toppings...

try canola oil. i believe there is one that has no fat.

Ok here's a simple one but it's really good here's what you'll need:
1 ear of corn
1 packet of taco seasoning
and some butter

They call this southwest style roasted corn. what you need to do is get some aluminum foil, and after shucking your corn rub it down with semi soft butter, and put the taco seasoning in there and roll it around, seal it up making a foil pack and throw it on the grill for a few minutes turning it over so that the butter melts coating it with the seasoning.

MMMMM! that sounds yummy as hell Ry!

why thank you Michelle, also a fun recipe with corn if you like spice is take a regular bag of frozen corn and while you're boiling it add some sour cream and fresh cut jalapenos ... trust me it's awesome

Ry, post the recipie for your moms bruchetta (however the fuck thats spelt)

i'll have to get it from her when i get to talk to her but trust me I will

Kumera...I don't think I have spelt it properly, is a sweet potato, it's normally quite ugly looking.

And coconut cream is what thai use in curries to make it sweet and creamy

oh! thanx for clearing that up!

mmmmm *drools*

Madadamia and choc chip cookies

*150 grams of softened butter
*1/3 cup of caster sugar
*2/3 cup of brown sugar
*1 egg
*1 cup of self raising flour

Mmm...that sounds good skinless, but iI don't do baking so good - no good at following recipies, I tend to want to add other stuff in there and so baking doesn't always go to plan.

Love macadamias though...my mum used to buy honey coated macadamias...so good...

that does sound good, my only problem is that i cant convert c to f.

nor grams to US measurement....
