It's food season. Time for big family meals.

Thought this would be a good time for people to drop their favorite recepies for unique dishes that they make.

So come through and share your cooking techniques with the rest of the siccness.

Tell us how to make one dish or about an entire meal that you made and how great it was (don't forget to tell us how to make it ourselves so we can all enjoy).


I'll kick it off . . .

ColdBlooded Chicken

(name given to the dish by Filthy_Rich)

This would work just as well in an oven(probably much easier).

Simple boneless skinless chicken breast (you can get big frozen bags at the store and pull them out as needed, but i always recomend buchering your own if you have time). Light kosher salting, red pepper flakes (depends on your taste, i sunk some on there even though she doesn't like spice) and garlic powder. Hit both sides.

Lay some fresh basil leaves on top of the breast (4-6) and then slice and orange into "thin" rounds. Place orange slice over the basil (took me like 2 slices per side) and do this to both sides. Should look like a sandwich (Orange/Basil/Chicken/Basil/Orange) Use tooth picks to hold the orange on the chicken and to keep the basil pinned down. If you were doing this in the oven you wouldn't need to do this tooth pick thing because you wouldn't need to turn over the chicken.

Then toss on the grill or in oven and cook till done. The Orange will help keep the chicken tender and from getting dried out. Don't worry if the orange or basil look discolored or burned you just toss them. If you like squeeze a lil fresh OJ from a piece of left over orange on the chicken before serving to give it extra orange flavor.

Would work the same with a lemon or lime too.

Goes great with some homemade fresh pesto and some locally grown wisconsin sweet corn.

You don't make your own mashed potatoes?


When i make them i add in a fat table spoon of cream cheese and sour cream each at least, minced garlic, table spoon of REAL butter at least, and parmizan cheese (people will love the taste, but be guessing where the flavor comes from), then a little milk or half and half at the end if it needs some.


You get a whole salmon or a fillete? Skin on or off? I like to do mine in the smoker, but the oven works these days when the temperature is too cold to be cooking out doors.

If your dealing with filets..i suggest using thyme butter and wrap about a 4"x 4" peice in foil and bake at 300 until you smell the salmon (usually about 7 mins.) with jasmine rice and broccoli with the lemon....top notch.

i'll come with my own recipe later....

Here's how I made my turkey after Thanksgiving (lower prices, plus i was away at family thanksgiving so you know i had to come home and make my own).


Rub the bird with kosher salt all over inside and out. Let sit for 2 hours, rinse off.

Stuff the bird with onions, carrots, celery, garlic and bell pepper (all salted and coated in olive oil). Surround the bird with extra.

Would have put it on a rack if i had one (allows for more even cooking and keeps the underside from getting too moist in the drippings.

Made a compound butter of salt, pepper, paprika, basil, parsley, oregano, garlic and rubbed and pressed it under the skin of the bird (careful not to poke a hole through it, just slide your hand under to loosen the skin from the meat and create a pocket to rub your butter through). Rubbed the rest on the bird.

Cooked it. Basted it for the last hour every 15 or so min.

Removed the stuffing and put it in a blender and ran it till smooth. Mixed some of that with the gravy as a thickening & flavor agent.

Other night . . .

2 inch thick Tuna Steak.

Crusted each side with fresh cracked black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, dill, parsley, and a little red pepper.

Little olive oil in a frying pan.

Cook high and fast for about 2 or 2 1/2 min per side.

Add a little butter to the mix towards the end so it doesn't burn, but adds flavor. Squeeze on some lemon juice in similar fashion before cooking is done.

word to the chefs who may try this dish:
use the freshest cut you can find. i find that the kind that come frozen and prepackaged (like as Costco or Sam's Club) don't absorb the flavors. the meat may also come out rubbery. i guess this is good advice for any meat.
Fresh and self butchered is always nice, but i've had good luck with frozen chicken breasts.

I get the boneless skinless ones in the big ass plastic bag.

Are you thawing out the meat before you cook it or just cooking it from frozen?
