Sorry for the delay on my fruit salad recipe but I just made it.I'd put this under desserts.

Ingredients:
2 Apples.Any kind will do.
2 Oranges.
2 Bananas.
Dole crushed pinapple.
1 cup of sour cream.
One 10 ounce jar of Marichino cherries.
2 cups of small marshmellows.

Step 1 is to cut up the Apples,Oranges, Bananas and cherries. I put them in a giant bowl after I finish each one so apples are at the bottom, then oranges,then bananas.I cut the apples,oranges,bananas as small as possible.The cherries I cut in halves.

I do it in that order and when I get to the cherries I put the Cherry juice in a small glass for later use.

Step 2 is you mix up all the fruit in that giant bowl.Once that is done put in the crushed pinapple on top and mix that up.

Next is the 1 cup of sour cream and cherry juice.First put in the sour cream and then put in the cherry juice on top of the sour cream and on top of the fruit. I carefully mix all of that up with a giant spoon. There will be lots of cherry juice at the bottom.Don't worry about it.The fruit will soak it up.

Step 3 is putting on the 2 cups of small marshmellows. Once again mix up everything and make sure everything is nice and covered in its juices.

Lastly put either a plate big enough to cover the bowl or plastic wrap the bowl.Put in the refrigerator on the top shelf. Take out after a day. Enjoy!

Here's my favorite jambalaya recipie
 
If you don't have the spices it may be a little expensive the first time you make it but it's really good and the spices will last you quite a while.
 
Spice Mix
 
Add the following to a jar or some kind of container.  You can even use a ziploc bag if you want.
 
  • 2 and 1/2 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tbs salt
  • 2 tbs garlic powder
  • 1 tbs peper
  • 1 tbs onion powder
  • 1 tbs cayan pepper
  • 1 tbs dried orageno
  • 1 tbs dried tyme
close the lid an shake.  Now you have a multipurpose creole seasoning
 
Now for the jambalaya.  I like to prep it all before I start cooking so here is my set up.
 
Put 3/4 cup of white rice in a bowl and set aside
 
In another bowl put 3 cups of chicken stock
 
In another bowl put 1/4 cup of diced onion, 1/4 cup of diced celery, 1/4 cup of diced bell pepper
 
In yet another bowl put 1/2 cup of diced up tomato, 2 tbs minced garlic, 1 tsp worschesire sauce, 1 tsp hot sauce, and 3 bay leaves
 
Now for the meats
 
cut up 1 or 2 andulie sausages into bite sized rounds.  If your not making it right away you can put it in a bag and put it in the fridge.
 
Next cut up about 1/2lb of chicken breast in to bite sized cubes and place it in a ziploc bag.  If you like shrimp you can then add about 1/2 lb of deshelled devained shrimp into the bag.  Next add a few spoonfulls of the creole seasoning you made (Note: a little goes a long way).  Add enough to cover the chicken and shrimp.  If you are not making it right away put it in the fridge or freezer.
 
Now for the cooking
 
Heat up (medium to high heat) 2 tbs  of olive oil in a large frying pan.  Once hot, add the contents of the bowl with the onion, celery, and bell pepper and stir for 3 min. 
 


Next add the contents of the bowl with the garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves and sauces an give it a stir. 
 


Once its all mixed up throw the rice in and slowly add the chicken stock while stirring. 
 


Once all the stock is in and reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 15 min until most of the liquid has evaporated.  At this point you will add the all the meat. 
 


Cook for 10 min or until the chicken and shrimp have cooked completely.  Stir frequently to keep the rice from burning and sticking. 



Dish it up and enjoy.

Last friday I made 3 different types of shish kabobs jordanian style (chicken, lamb, steak), dolma, fatayer (stuffed with a mix of crab spinach butter garlic and feat), a roast duck, turkey linguine, salad and lots of rice.

I had 12 or so people to serve so I went all out.

Thats quite a Medateranian / Middle Eastern feast, but no Hummus and Tabouli?  That must have taken forever to make (dolmas are so time consuming). 
 
I've got to try to make some Baked Kibbi again soon.

I've always wanted to know how to make Jambalya, but never took the time to look it up.

I might give this a shot pretty soon.

My cooking experience is mostly trial and error, but the only error I've had so far is making gravy.
I mostly see stuff that looks good and attempt to copy it with whatever sounds good to me. So far it's all turned out really freaking good (except for any attempt at gravy), but I mostly just wing it in the kitchen. No formal experience, no professional teacher.

I make what looks good, add what sounds good and hope that it taste good.

Gravy is a funny thing, I'm convinced it's hereditary. My dad and uncles make great gravy and so can I. It's just flour, milk, fixin's with salt and pepper to taste. The trick is to know the exact moment it's ready.

I find gravy to be the least important part of any turkey dinner (where other than biscuits and gravy, which I don't eat, is most common to find gravy). If you make the turkey well enough, you don't need gravy. Substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes, you don't need gravy. In fact, the only thing I ever do with the stock is make soup, making it yet another course for the meal.

My goal is southern fried porkchops with gravy over rice.

I made the gravy last time, but it was nothing like how my mom used to make it.
It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't anywhere near expectations.

Made some Lemon Baked Tilapia tonite. It was pretty good.



prepared it almost like the Garlic Butter Chicken, except instead of soy sauce & heavy garlic, I used lemon peel and lemon juice.
It was pretty tasty.

I'll edit with details later.

Looks great. You can never go wrong baking fish. I'm guessin you used frozen tilapia?

I've been using bags of that for fish tacos. Simply sautee them in butter with some breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and some vinegar/lemon/lime (anything sour). You could toss some garlic, herbs or whatever, but I find it to be a waste. Put on the lid and just wait till they easily fall apart. Cut em up like scrambled eggs and toss em' in a bowl.

Put em' in tacos with whatever you like. I find that a hot hot salsa and sour cream are the least you should have on it. Cheese and lettuce is optional, but I always use them.

Blackened Catfish
« Reply #192 on: March 10, 2011, 02:07:18 AM »
I did use Frozen Tilapia, tonite I used some frozen catfish.

Blackened Catfish

Ingredients:
2 large Catfish Fillets
2 Teaspoons of the following:
- Cayenne Pepper
- Lemon & Herb Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
- Salt
- Pepper
1/4 stick Butter
Itialian Dressing


note: If you don't like spicy food, I'd suggest halving the cayenne pepper, but then I would also suggest 1/2tsp less of salt too.

1) Preheat the oven to 350o while you mix the (2 tsp) seasonings in a shallow dish/bowl


2) Melt butter and brush each side of your Catfish Fillet, then proceed to coat each side with seasoning. (Don't lay it on too thick because it will be spicy)

Buttered Cat Fish Fillets

After Coated In Seasoning Mix

3) drop some left over butter in a hot skillet and blacken both sides of your Fillet (should take no more than 1-2 minutes per side), then place in a lightly greased baking pan


4) Coat with Italian Dressing and place in the oven for about 30-35 minutes (fish should be flaky when done cooking)

30 minutes after sticking in oven

5) Serve. and Enjoy. It was actually pretty good to squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over the top too.

Fish over bed of rice

Serves 2-3
Total Prep time is 5 minutes
Total Cook time is 35-40 mintes (most of which is spent in the oven)

It was spicy, but it was good.
I'll add in instructions later if anyone is interested.
It was easy to prep a delicious to eat.
