============================================
Taco Bell Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes
============================================

1/2 tsp. of garlic powder
1/4 tsp. of ground cumin
2 lbs. of white potatoes, peeled and cubed to 1" cubes
2 tbsp. of butter
2 tbsp. of olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/4 c. of cubed Velveeta cheese
Tabasco sauce, to taste
1/2 c. of sour cream, divided
1 green onion, chopping only the green part

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. While your oven is preheating, you can get your mix together in a Zoploc bag. Mix the garlic powder and cumin together; add the cubed potatoes, seal the Ziploc, and toss it all together until all of your potato chunks are coated evenly.

In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat melt the oil and butter together. Add the seasoned potato chunks in and cook, stirring frequently, until they're a nice, golden brown, about 10 minutes; cover and cook an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer the sauteed potatoes to a non-stick baking sheet and bake at 475 degrees for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nice and crisp.

When your potatoes are almost done baking, put your cubed Velveeta, salsa, and Tabasco into a microwave-safe bowl (a large casserole Pyrex would work) and microwave for it 1 minute; stir and microwave it for another minute; stir it again and microwave, again, for another whole minute, and then stir until smooth.

For each serving, place some potatoes in a bowl, then pour over 1/4 of the melted Velveeta cheese sauce, top with some sour cream, then sprinkle with the chopped green onion.

Serves 4

CT Recipe Newsletter - I'm Back!'

cheftom — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:10:28 -0500

Hello ,

After a short break, I am back with new recipes just for you.
On August 16, my mother passed away after a long battle with
cancer. As you can imagine, things have been tough since then.
I'm finally getting back into the swing of things and I'm so
happy to finally have the time to write this message to you.

This week, I will keep it simple with some new recipes and minor
updates. Next week I have some stories about my recent vacation
to Virginia Beach and a review on an exciting new kitchen gadget.

Until then.... r e c i p e s . . .

============================================
Crockpot Beef & Peppers
============================================

2 pounds round steak -- lean
2 green peppers -- sliced thin
2 tablespoons dried onions -- minced
-or- 1/2 minced fresh small onion
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 garlic clove -- minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Cut the steak into serving size pieces. If desired you can brown
the meat in a little hot oil before adding to crockpot. Place the thinly
sliced pepper rings in bottom of crockpot, reserving a few to place on top
of meat if desired. (Vegetables cook better when placed on bottom of pot.)
Arrange the meat on pepper, careful to not stack one piece directly on top
of another. Mix all other ingredients and pour over meat and peppers.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for about 4 hours.
Serve with mashed potatoes and simply seasoned vegetables.

Serves 8

her stomach. Any suggestions are appreciated.

.....................................

Hi,

It has been another rainy week here in NY. My vegetable garden
is crying for sunlight! Hopefully the sun will come back for
Fathers Day weekend. Make sure you do not forget all the special
dads out there. I have included some great recipes and gift ideas
in this weeks newsletter.

============================================
Grilled Bourbon Steak
============================================

large/thick cut of your favorite beef steak
2 large red onions
1/2 cup fresh rosemary
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup bourbon
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup to 1 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cups tomato juice
6 to 12 garlic cloves
1/2 cup soy sauce

1. Combine all of the ingredients except for the steak for the marinade
in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
2. Place the tri-tip in a glass, ceramic, or plastic pan and pour the
marinade over it. let sit for 2 hours at room temperature or up to 3
days refrigerated.
3. To grill, have the coals hot and set them on each side of a
kettle-type barbecue. For a smokier flavor, add several handfuls of
soaked smoke chips to the hot coals. Place the meat on the grill and
cover with the lid. Grill for about 30 minutes or until a meat
thermometer inserted into the center reaches 120 degrees F for rare or
130 degrees F for medium..

Hi,

I hope you were able to enjoy some nice weather this past weekend. I went out with some friends and family to celebrate my 29th birthday. Had a few cocktails and danced to some good music. Always good to get out and blow off some steam! A good reminder that I'm still young at heart.

Now for some recipes...

============================================

I snapped a couple pictures of this dish and posted it on my blog. You can view the photos here:

1 tablespoon McCormick Garden Herb Seasoning
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup bread crumbs

salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the onion, zucchini, squash, garlic, garden herb seasoning, olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Set aside.
Use a knife to butterfly each chicken breast half and then fold each breast open.
Spray a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Take each chicken breast and put a large spoonful of the vegetable mixture on top of half of the breast.
Top with some of the Cheddar cheese and fold the other half of the chicken breast on top. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts.

Calling all food bloggers! Promote your blog on The Wicked Noodle!'

wickednoodle — Tue, 26 May 2009 08:58:15 -0500

Hey fellow foodies!

There's a new feature on our website called "Reader Recipes". It's basically for anyone who wants to submit a recipe to be featured, but you can also submit your blog url and it will be included in the post. It's basically an easy way to do a guest post without having to put too much effort into it.

The first Reader Recipe just went up; you can view it at http://www.thewickednoodle.com/?p=1831

When you submit your recipe, please don't go heavy on promoting your blog, but rather heavy on promoting the actual recipe. As you can see from the link above, we make sure to include at least one link (and in this case, two links) to your blog. You'll get more traffic by showcasing a fantastic recipe than trying to coax people there by "selling" them - at least that's our theory! You can write as much or as little about your recipe as you'd like! You just have to include at least one picture of the dish itself, and you can submit up to three - including a pic of yourself if you'd like.

There's a super easy form to use to upload your recipe. It can be found at http://www.thewickednoodle.com/?page_id=1795

Hope this feature brings everyone some extra traffic!!

CT Recipe Newsletter: Stuffed Burgers on Portabellas'

Chef Tom Cooks - Recipe Newsletter
www.cheftomcooks.com
.....................................

Hello ,

I hope you are all doing well this week. The weather in NY
has been amazing the past couple days! Makes it tough to
focus on work when it is so nice out. This weekend I am
going to plant my vegetable garden -- I look forward to a
great crop of tomatoes this year. Do you like to garden?
What do you grow?

I just posted some beautiful pictures that my friend took
outside my house. Let me know what you think:
http://cheftomcooks.com/2009/05/21/a-beautiful-day-on-long-island/

Now here are some recipes for you...

============================================
Stuffed Burgers on Portabellas
============================================

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
5 bacon strips, cooked crisp and crumbled
4 portabella mushroom caps (about 4-inch diameter)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices

In a bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt,
and black pepper. Crumble the beef over the mixture and mix
well. Shape into 8 thin patties. Mix together the cheese
and bacon. Spoon the cheese-bacon mixture onto the center
of 4 patties. Top each with the remaining patties. Press
the edges together to seal. Grill, covered, over medium
heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
While the burgers are cooking, remove the mushroom stems if
necessary. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil.
Grill over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Place each mushroom, rounded side down, on a serving plate.
Top each with a burger, lettuce and tomato.

Serves 4

============================================
Spicy Broiled Shrimp
============================================

1 lb medium size Shrimp, peeled
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 lemon (juice only)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
5 tablespoons Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup parsley - minced
salt, to taste
1 lb cooked linguine

Melt butter with the olive oil in a saute pan that is oven
safe and large enough to hold the shrimp in one thin layer.
When butter/oil mixture is hot, add the garlic. Toss, don't
let it burn. While it cooks, add the white pepper, red pepper
flakes, oregano and Cayenne pepper, stir well. When garlic
looks cooked but not brown (3 minutes), add the shrimp. Toss
the shrimp about in the pan, coating with the spiced oil.
Add the lemon juice and keep tossing over the heat. Quickly
add the parsley, bread crumbs and Parmesan. Toss to coat
completely. The shrimp should now be bright pink and cooked
through.
Place the pan under the broiler until cheese looks melted
(1-2 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over pasta.

Serves 4-6
