Passion for food

Ever feel a little FRIED on a friday night? Why not make these fried green tomatoes, and make your self a Fried Green Tomato BLT! It might just be one of the best sandwiches of all time. Easy Fried Green Tomatoes: 1-2 green tomatoes 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup corn meal 2 eggs optional: Panko bread crumbs to make it extra crispy!  Salt to taste

Today we talk Beef Jerky! Well not that much talk, because I hate writing & can't stand food blogs that bury the recipe 12 feet deep! Anyway just use about 10 grams (that's slightly under two teaspoons) of salt per pound of beef and you should be fine! Did I mention we are making these easy beef jerky recipes 3 ways?! First up my non-classic Lemon pepper, then the south African classic Biltong spice and finally a classic Teriyaki! Biltong Spice Mix: 2 teaspoons salt (10 grams) 2 tablespoons ground coriander ~1 teaspoon of pepper Lemon Pepper: 2 teaspoons salt (10 grams) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce Teriyaki: 5 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon salt (5 grams) 2 tablespoons Mirin ( OR just 1 tablespoon sugar) optional couple dashes of garlic powder Enjoy!

This was a fun experiment I tried just to see... What if?! And I really loved how it turned out. This is actually the second version, the first version I didn't add cream to the caramel and the crust wound up too chewy! But this version is absolutely a winner in my book and a wonderfully easy dessert. For the Dutch Baby Batter: ⅔ cup milk, room temperature ½ cup packed all-purpose flour 3 large eggs, room temperature ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt For the Caramel Sauce: 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup heavy cream Enjoy!

Today we make a fun and easy one pot American style Goulash, only without the usual boring elbow macaroni! we'll be using spaghetti, which is superior in every way. It's no strain to say that, and I'll definitely strand by that statement! American Spaghetti Goulash Recipe With Ground Beef: 1.5 Lbs ground beef (I suggest 80/20)  1 large onion 3 ribs celery 4 cloves garlic 2 cans ~30 oz stewed tomatoes 1 tablespoon salt, pepper to taste 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon MSG optional cheese for serving Enjoy!
