2 tbs Rosemary butter
3/4 c chopped carrots
3/4 c chopped celery
3/4 c chopped onion
1/2 c chopped red pepper
2 c vegetable stock
3 c chopped potatoes
pinch salt/ pepper
3/4 c half n half
1/2 # chopped raw shrimp
1/2 # cod fillets
1/2 # clams in juice
1/2 # oysters
1 tsp corn starch
Add butter and veggies to pan on medium heat. Saute until soft and translucent. Add vegetable stock and potatoes and turn to medium high to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Mix half n half and corn starch and set aside. Take a potato masher and roughly mash 30% or so then add seafood. Under lid, let simmer on low for 5-7 minutes. Remove lid, stir, season, and add half n half/ cornstarch mix. Stir in and enjoy.
Layer thin slices of summer
vegetables, cut with a mandolin slicer, with homemade sauce, mushrooms, garlic, and a 1 cup mixture of ricotta cheese, cottage cheese with 1-2 beaten eggs. Layer all and add to 400* oven for 1-1/2 hrs. Top with mozzarella cheese and pop back in the oven for 10 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
Boxed pancake mix is only meant to be used as a shortcut. They are essentially asking to be, as my Mom would say, "doctored up." Today we used Jiffy mix and added to the standard recipe on the box.
2 cups Jiffy mix
1 1/4 c milk
2 eggs
2 tbs oil
We did this and ran with it adding
1/2 c ricotta cheese
1/3# smoked pork
and bourbon syrup
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c regular sugar
1/4 t real vanilla extract
1/2 c water and
1/4 c bourbon, we used Makers, like there'd be any other.
I had my pancake maker working the grill whilst I was making syrup and building these masterpieces.
Add the sugars and water to a smallish (Tim Halverson-ism) pan on high heat just to boil.
Turn heat down to low, if you're using an electric stove remove while burner cools down. Let syrup barely bubble for 5-7 minutes or so and add bourbon. Stir and let rest while building the stacks.
We added an egg cooked in brown butter, I know all these color distinctions, right?

Sauté some garlic in olive oil, add some chopped red peppers, celery, and onions.
Sauté until onions are translucent.
Mix 2 tbs lime juice, 2 tbs tequila, and 1/2 tsp corn starch and set aside.
Add chopped mango to skillet, then thawed peeled raw shrimp.
When shrimp begins to look pink on bottom, gently flip the shrimps over and cook an additional 2 minutes or so.
Cook just until shrimp is 90% done and move everything to the outer edge of the pan.
Add the tequila mixture to the middle well of the pan and agitate until it thickens.
Mix well and serve over hot cooked whole wheat angel hair pasta.
2 oz cream cheese
1/4 c Blue cheese crumbled
1-1/2 # boneless chicken breast cut into 6 pcs
1/4 c flour
1/4 c Texas Pete's hot sauce (my favorite)
1/4 tsp celery seed
2 cups crushed kettle cooked potato chips
Preheat oven to 400*
Combine softened cheeses in a bowl
Cut slit in each piece of chicken and stuff with cheese mixture, set aside.
Combine flour in dish, salt, pepper, to season.
Combine Texas Pete and celery seed in another dish.
Crush chips in a third bowl.
Dust chicken with flour, sauce, then roll in chips.
Place cheese side up, on coated baking sheet. Spray chicken with cooking spray and bake at 400* for 30-40 minutes or until chicken reads 170*
Reduce 1 cup Jägermeister about 10 minutes on low simmer reducing by 1/2. Be sure to sample the Jäger at least once before pouring into pan.
Dredge or brush bacon using all of the reduced Jäger and bake on a sheet pan at 375* for about 35-40 minutes.
