This was actually, despite my teasing her, farmfriend's idea, and since I am a lifelong cook who enjoys good food I thought this would be a fun perennial thread.

This is a place to share and exchange recipes, tips, sources, and treats. I am sure that there is a lot of expertise just waiting to be tapped into. I threw beverages into the title because I love a good cup of coffee and so have spent a lot of time reading about, brewing, and enjoying good coffees.

My own strong areas in cooking are baking, Tex Mex, and Italian. I do not represent myself as an expert but as a someone who simply enjoys good food and is not uncomfortable in the kitchen.

As a long time Kitchen Gardener I am used to taking what I have harvested and using what I have and trying to be a bit creative. I have also learned some of things which are fun to grow and good to have for a different touch.

Okay.

Spicy Chicken Burgers.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs.
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Blue Cheese Dressing
Kaiser Buns
Spinach
Red Onion
Medium Cheddar Cheese
Olive Oil
Butter
Organic Mayonnaise (as long as it's the good mayonnaise - It's like Ketchup - only the good stuff will do unless you're really hungry...)
Mushrooms
Salt & Pepper

Dice up the chicken.

Fry the chicken in the pan with the butter and olive oil.

Add the Hot sauce.

Chuck in the onions and mushrooms.

Add some Blue Cheese Dressing.

The Chicken etc. should be smothered in Sauce and Dressing so it's saturated and dripping with the stuff.

Heat the buns in the oven with the cheese grated.

Put the stuff on the buns with the spinach and mayonnaise.

Add extra Hot Sauce and Blue Cheese Dressing.

Oh Good Lord.

I'm no Chef, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Good food will do that. If you can find it, rare and expensive, Rogue Creamery Smoky Blue Cheese would add a real gourmet touch. Make your own Blue Cheese Dressing with the Smoky Blue.

Just back from a peasant meal of prime tenderloin of beef fillets, cherry tomatoes, and toasty chiabatta bread.

Since I'm the cook here, it has to be simple and easy.

Some peasant meal.

It doesn't get much easier than Pound Cake/Tea Bread. Try a French Genoise some time. I also make a killer Chocolate Sponge Cake - I do miniatures and they are just wonderful with whipped cream and Raspberry Puree on top. ;-)

Sounds heavenly, but we can't have sweets here.

If you know what I mean.

We just can't.

Eat, and enjoy for us.

Too bad while I don't make them often I do enjoy them. Scones are a nice treat that are not too sugary. Do you not eat sweets intentionally or is it medical necessity? If you don't mind my asking.

No religious, medical, or other problem with sweets; it's just that all that I read about refined sugars, doesn't make me want to ingest them any more.

(There's nothing I'd love more than to chow down on some Snickers or Babe Ruths, with with a tall glass of whole milk, but I won't do it any longer.)

Then don't short yourself. I very rarely use refined sugar. I use for baking, and most things, Florida Crystals which is an unbleached organic natural Cane Sugar. It is still sugar so you shouldn't overindulge but it is much better than bleached flavorless white sugar.

Also for Brown Sugar I use Billington's Muscovado Sugar - which is also a semi-raw minimally processed sugar. A lot of commercial Brown Sugars are bleached and then have some of the natural molasses added back in to turn it into "brown" sugar.

Also there are other sweeteners, each with their own characteristics, which can be used in baking.

Honey

Blue Agave

Stevia (almost zero calories)

Sucanit (unrefined cane sugar)

Date Sugar - made from dates as the name implies.

Maple Syrup or Sugar.

The one thing to remember about all of these substitutes is that most do have their own characteristic flavor and so that must be accounted for in the final product. For most cakes and cookies I prefer the unrefined evaporated cane juice sugar - it adds a nice warm molasses flavor. I also use it in Bread making.

Isn't that the new "artificial" sugar they are pushing now. I think the brand I saw when I was doing sugar sets was called Sun Crystal. I know there are a couple of organic and unprocessed sugars on the market.

I missed that earlier - I guess I should have been wearing my reading glasses. No, Stevia is actually the leaf of a South American plant which is dried and then ground up. By weight it is much sweeter than standard cane sugar, has no calories to speak of, and has no known toxic side effects. Because of the big money politics of the FDA (Aspartame a.k.a. Nutra-Death is patented and verrrrrry profitable whereas Stevia is not patentable and would not yield the same obscene profits of monopoly), and their highly corrupt operations, it is not allowed to be used and billed as a sweetener. It is one of the most ghastly corruptions and aberrations of that terminally corrupt operation called the FDA - right up there with "anti-depressants".

but it is. I've seen the ads.

Sun Crystals The box shown, not the bag, are in the sugar sets in all Savemarts. Top shelf with all the artificial ones. I realize it is not artificial in the sense that NutraSweet etc are but is billed as a no calorie substitute for sugar.
