lets share recipes!! i need new things to try!
i always make white rice and black beans so this is how i make it (for 2 to 3 people)
white rice:
2 cups of rice
3 1/4 cups of water
3 garlic cloves (minced)
about 2 table spoons of fresh cilantro (minced)
3 tablespoons of veg. oil
salt to your liking
add garlic, salt and oil in a pot. i let it sit for about 30 mins so the oil gets the garlic flavor. turn your stove on medium(stoves may very). let the garlic cook for a little bit about 2 mins (dont let them get brown!!). then add the rice and mix well. then add the water and cilantro. let it boil uncovered until the water is a little below the rice level. when the water is at that level lower the temp to about the middle of low and medium. mix well and cover. let it sit for about 10 mins. go stir after the ten mins and it should be done if it isnt cover it again and wait about another 10 mins.
Black Beans(i eye ball everything on here for the most part)
1 can of black beans( i use goya)
about 2 cloves of garlic
onion
green bell pepper
table spoon of olive oil
pinch or 2 of salt
pinch of pepper

Sesame Orange Shrimp:
3 tbsp sesame seeds
1 lb raw shrimp (21-25/lb)
2 large egg whites
1/4 c cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp canola oil (divided)
3/4 c Orange Juice
1/4 c sherry
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1. Whisk seeds, egg whites, cornstarch, salt and pepper in large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss it to coat.
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in large nonstick skillet over med heat. Add half of the shrimp & cook until golden. (You only do half, because if you load up the pan then they'll stick to each other.). They should cook like little medallions.
3. Transfer to a paper towel and repeat w/other half.
4. Add Orange Juice, Sherry, Soy Sauce and Sugar to the pan. Bring to a boil, stir occasionally until slightly thick and reduced by half (4-6 mins).
5. Return the shrimp and stir to coat w.sauce.
I serve this on top of white rice.. It is SOOOO GOOD and pretty healthy.
2 acorn squash halved. Lightly butter or oil the exposed inside (to your taste) and bake at 400 for about 30 min.
Stuffing: any flavor stovetop, one box, I like chicken or pork for this, but have used cornbread with good results too!
One package sausage (johsonville size links and package) or equivalent amount cooked up, mild or spicy depending on taste.
Quarter of onion, sauteed up with sausage and add a package of presliced (or cut them yourself) mushrooms, I like the baby portabellas. Mix with stuffing, overstuff squash halves and optional- sprinkle w parmesan cheese and broil for a little texture on top.
4 boneless chicken breasts. Boil until cooked thoroughly and then shred. (or you can get 2 cans of canned chicken, but I personally don't think it tastes as good).
1 c of Ranch Dressing
1/3 c Buffalo Red Hot Sauce
2 c Mozzarella Cheese
1 package cream cheese, softened
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl either by hand or with electric mixer until well blended.
3. Spread into baking dish 9X9 or 9X13
4. Bake at 350 for about 30 mins until it's bubbly.
Cool slightly before serving w/tortilla chips.
6 med baking potatoes (about 2 lbs)
1/3 c butter
1 clove garlic
1/4c Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1. Line a baking pan w/parchment paper or foil.
2. Preheat oven to 425.
3. Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges.
4. Melt the butter in a large bowl.
5. Add garlic, parm cheese, italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the bowl.
6. Add the potato wedges, stir to coat. If you have a lid for the bowl, it's easier to pop on a lid and shake them up.
7. Place the wedges onto the pan.
8. Bake at 425 for 20 mins. Take out the pan and flip the potatoes. Bake about 10 more minutes or until tender.
