New foods!

 I've been experimenting with new foods.  and I bought myself a BIG girl smoker, to use in addition to my 'treasure chest' smoker.  

Cooked pizzas, meats, CAKES.  so good.  all of them.

Lasagna casserole/hotdish. Just like regular lasagna, but with lil noodles instead of big ones.  It was awesome.

Vanilla dirt cake, for a co-worker's birthday.
Smoked chocolate cake.

Jalapeño cheese balls/poppers

Image
 So! I made jalapeno poppers about a week ago.  I used a recipe from Betty Crocker.  Well, I based it on the recipe.  It's called "Olive Balls Recipe"  https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/olive-balls/a6358011-ee76-4ac2-a0eb-35ba9f450f60 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 ounces) 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 cup Original Bisquick™ mix I also added two finely diced jalapenos.   Heat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together cheese, butter, and W sauce.  Mix in baking mix (I actually used Jiffy baking mix, not bisquick) Mix in jalapenos. Spoon about a TBS of mix and roll into a ball.   Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, about an inch apart   I used parchment to line, because I like it. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Self rising flour and bread made with it

 So, I was in the mood for beer bread, so I made some. My recipe is 3 cups of self rising flour, 3 Tbsp of sugar, 12oz beer, and butter to brush on top.   Mix the flour and sugar, then add the beer.  Pour/plop into pan(s).  Bake at 350 for enough time to get the internal temp to at least 200.  Probably 40-60 minutes, depending on pan(s).  Brush with melted butter. Then, since I had the self rising flour out, I thought, hmmm.  maybe I should try that ice cream bread? 1 1/2 cups self rising flour mixed with 2 cups (1 pint) of ice cream.  Bake until interior temp is 200, again.  40-50ish minutes.  Go by temp, not time.   I have already had a chunk of the beer bread.  Ice cream bread is in the oven.  I used huckleberry ice cream  Because why not? Give quick breads a try.  They are very nice.

 The newest yum in the fish dish category!  Mackerel cakes.   So yummy.  I just ate them plain.  I think John ate his with his normal tartar sauce.   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e3NW_r5jRKgj0s1XW1LKQmtO9QdilygcR4fxq2RmbKg/edit?usp=sharing That's the recipe, as I wrote it up.   Here's the original. https://cooktoria.com/mackerel-patties Just some wording variance.
