A bag of cool ranch doritos?

And Dr Pepper, since that stuff is super forbidden, because of the high amounts of sugar.

There are two dishes: potato salad and lasagna. Both are usually a hit. I'm glad I seem to get them right, because they constitute about 50% of my (very limited) cooking repertoire. Luckily, I'm married to a good cook...

Would you mind sharing your potato salad recipe?

Desserts, especially pies, bread pudding, etc.

Breads and rolls.

Christmas Crack!

I use graham crackers instead of saltines

King Cake
Bienenstich
Jello Shots (I use jiggler molds for all the holidays)

Various Italian dishes, although I don't have a drop of Italian in me -- Veal Picatta, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Marsala.

My mom and grandmom were known for their stuffed cabbage. My mom also had a lot of requests for her baked macaroni and cheese.

Baby back ribs

Dry rub on the ribs and bake, meat side up, at 250 for 2 1/4 hours

Place ribs meat side down on foil, add 1 cup apple cider, seal the ribs in the foil and return to oven for an hour.

Remove ribs from foil, add a bit more rub, return ribs to oven, meat side up for 30 minutes

Raise oven temp to 350, brush ribs with BBQ sauce and bake for 10 minutes longer.

I am famous/infamous for my "SCRAWNY RONNIE'S KILLER CASSEROLE". It's my take on a casserole my mom taught me to cook almost 60 years ago. Cooked ground beef mixed with saute'd onions, fresh mushrooms, sweet bell peppers, red kidney beans, savory herbs and spaghetti sauce topped with sharp cheddar and bacon and baked.
I actually got the recipe accepted into a Canadian pasta cook book. I made it when my son brought his new girlfriend to meet us. She enjoyed it and they've been married for almost 18 years.

Please share!!! Especially the mac and cheese and the potatoes with ham that the potatoes cook while baking.

I vote we change the name of RB's "Scrawny Ronnie's Killer Casserole" to...

the "Almost 18-years Casserole"...

Sounds like success either way!!!

Thanks much for sharing that what sounds like a "Killer" tasting recipe RB!!!

Or so it seems to me...

My Scotch Shortbread cookies. I'm always being asked to make them. They just sort of melt in your mouth.

Could be that nobody likes it, but no one else wants to cook.

I'm stealing your recipe RibMan. This is the rib recipe I use

http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/tuscan-style-spareribs-balsamic-glaze

Spicey. Right now I'm sick of it though.

I forgot to mention Cream Wafers. A special occasion favorite.

I could barbecue like nobody's business when I was young, baby back ribs (St. Louis style), chicken wings (BBQ sauce style), tri tip steak slow cooked over charcoal, even filet mignon (medium rare with crispy edges). Now I've given up red meat, so I don't barbecue any more.

But if we came by your place one evening with a fine bottle of red wine maybe you could be persuaded to light the fire one more time. My mouth is watering at the thought of that nice red meat....

Stick a couple of chicken breasts on the side for you and my wife since she doesn't eat red meat either. :o)

I've been experimenting with dutch ovens. Here is one that's great...

Guadalupe Chile Pie Supreme.
1) Ground beef
2) kidney beans
3) peppers, onions
4) tomato sauce
5) and corn bread on top

cooked in a Dutch oven. It's wonderful!

That looks like a winner. I love corn bread but have never tried to make it myself.

I make a really good baked macaroni and cheese. Another thing is a potato casserole with ham and sharp cheddar cheese, that's made with sliced potatoes, and doesn't call for condensed cream of whatever soup. The potatoes are raw, so they cook while the casserole is baking.

Diet Coke on ice, with fresh lime juice.

Molasses Cookies, I got the recipe years ago from an old Amish lady in Ohio. My family is addicted to those cookies.

The other thing they always insist I make is cheese cake.

I just figured out how I can make two at a time in my instant pot pressure cooker. That pressure cooker is amazing! I've had it for about a year now and I use it almost every day.

I also make a good homemade granola that my kids now make for their own families.

Beer can chicken--

1. Drink half a can of your favorite beer
2. Sit a whole chicken down on the can--position the chicken so it's standing up.
3. Salt and pepper the bird
4. Place on a heat proof pan on the BBQ grate on low temp. Shut the lid.
5. Don't open the lid for 2 hours.

Serve with BBQ beans, corn on the con, potato salad, etc.

I love beer can chicken! I know it as beer butt chicken. Lol :-p

I'm good for desserts, especially chocolate chip cookies. Also homemade bread/rolls.

Getting pretty damn good at chile rellenos. Yeah, baby!

Baked holiday turkey.

My holiday turkeys are in great demand, because I can actually bake a turkey with breasts that are moist and tender. I inject the breast with a mild garlic butter, and also pat the bird down with a garlic butter mix before the bird goes into the oven.

Plus, I stuff it with the best oyster dressing you will ever taste, in or outside of New Orleans...

I am famous (infamous ?) for my fried spaghetti.
I also make a mean salsa.

Right on Dave!

Ummm,not sure. My beef and lamb roasts (lamb roasts are an Australian icon) are pretty popular. If a good cout of roast I cook it without covering in a slow oven and add onions for the last hour which I use to flavour the gravy.

If I have a cheaper cut of roast, one sure way to tenderize it and give it lots of flavour is to cheat a bit. I place two pieces of alfoil in a cross on the baking ray. I plunk the roast in the middle and pull up the alfoil a little. I mix a can of cream of mushroom soup, and a packet of dried onion soup mix in a bowl and dump it on top of the roast and allow some of it to drizzle down the sides. Then I fold over the foil and seal it. I put it in a medium oven and cook until REALLY tender.

HOnestly, it tastes like you have been slaving over the stove for hours, but it is SO easy. I serve it with baked vegies, which I roll in oil and place on a baking tray. Potatoes, pumpkin, onions carrots. I usually serve a boiled green vegie, eg beans or peas with it. YUM!!!


LOVE some of your recipes, will give them a try!!

cheesecake

base
digestive biscuits and butter

filling
curd cheese
cream cheese
double cream
gelatine
lots of sugar

Topping
can of rich cherry pie filling
a tiny drop of rum (can also kirsh, wine, whatever takes your fancy)

I'm not the most gourmet cook around. One dish that comes to mind is my Jack Daniels whiskey simmered baked beans. It has eight kinds of beans stewed all day in a crock pot of bacon and whiskey tomato sauce.

Home made ice cream.

The absolute favorite seems to be "Smoked Maple Butter Pecan" with smoked glazed pecans with cayenne pepper, and smoked 100% maple syrup. Awesome, creamy, butter maple flavor with a hint of smoke and heat in the finish. Several people have told me its the best ice cream they've ever had :)

My "Smoked Cinnamon Cashew" and "Cantaloupe Candied Ginger" seem to be close seconds.

I'm going to try these delicious sounding recipes, and especially Jonny the Smoke's icecream! I make good desserts,but my family especially loves my Chicken Enchiladas and That Good Salad. For the Enchiladas, boil 3 chicken breasts (can be either with ribs or not) with 2 bay leaves and 1 chopped onion. Mix 6 oz cream cheese with the cooked chopped chicken and place in tortillas. Mix 1 cup whipping cream with 1 cup half and half. Add 1/2 tsp chili powder,salt and pepper to taste. Pour the cream mixture over the lined up tortillas and top with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake @ 350 degrees. Fattening ingredients, but it is good! That Good Salad: Blend 1/2 C vegetable oil, 1/4 C lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves,1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper. Toss 2 bunches of Romaine lettuce, 2 C. chopped tomatoes, 1 C shredded Swiss cheese, 2/3 C slivered almonds, 1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese, and 8 bacon strips cooked and crumbled. Toss with the salad dressing and add 1 C Ceasar salad croutons.

Carne Adovada and Crawfish Gumbo are probably my two best.

I do a decent Lamb Korma also.

My oatmeal chocolate chip cookies get rave reviews at work and among friends.

My salmon, grilled on a cedar plank over charcoal, is beloved by dinner guests.

My Japanese curry over white rice is something I've been making for close to three decades.

Thus spake Mujun.

I so rarely cook anymore, but I sign up to bring after-church baked goods every few months. I've had people say that when they see I'm bringing treats, they hope it will be snickerdoodles. I use the Utah mainstay recipe. Very few people in these parts make that kind of cookie.

Smoked brisket, potato salad, and baked beans.

Crawfish jambalaya.

Shrimp etouffee.

Chicken and sausage gumbo.

Oh, and the sausage and kale soup from Olive Garden.

(I'm afraid my Cajun is showing a little.....)

There are cookbooks for everything now, so how about we create our own "Exmo Cookbook?" It's never been easier to self publish/on demand publish, and we can devote all (if any!) profits to support this site. It's just quirky enough we may get some free publicity out of it for the site as well.

I'll gladly pitch in with marketing/website help. I'll refrain from actually cooking because I've grown to like some of you.

I have my grandmother's recipe, and they are rather complicated and fiddly to make, so I'm the only one in the family who will do it. I also make her Borscht with the lamb base.

My meatloaf and Texas Sheetcake with a chocolate Kahlua glaze. Two or three glasses of milk per piece of cake. In my TBM days I made it that way, and even though other TBMs knew, I never had a complaint.

Do most of my major cooking in my smoker. Ribs, brisket, pork shoulder. Also cook meatloaf in the smoker.
Home made sourdough bread.

I love to cook and bake it somehow relaxes me. My most wanted dishes are

original wiener schnitzel with warm potato salad
Cheese porridge grounded meat soup
Chilli
Sweet lasagna (with Mascarpone and red berries)
Salmon and spinach with homemade noodels
Asparagus with sauce hollandaise and potatoes
Homemade ice cream
