I don't know why but I think in my search reading it comes from holland!...I may be wrong.... because in my gut it feels like something from CA... edited to add I was asked to post my red wine sauce, here is the recipe I use but I don't always and onions or shallots (lol in my head I always here Gordon Ramsey saying it) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot 1 cup low sodium beef broth or 1 cup chicken broth 3/4 cup red wine 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, preferably grainy kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper Directions: 1 In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 Tbs. of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until softened but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, wine, vinegar, and mustard. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 9 minutes. 2 Off the heat, whisk in the remaining 3 Tbs. butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Hmmm cube up a chicken breast, fry in butter salt pepper, serve over noodles and add this Alfredo sauce over that... Chicken Alfredo...

The way I cooked mine was... 1-8 oz. can of chicken,1-16 oz. bag of bowtie pasta,and the Alfredo sauce. cook the pasta and then just mix it all together. tasty. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Road Rash Potato Pancakes! Tonight I was craving potatoes, I had purchased one of those 1.00 packets of Instant taters, I have pancake mix (bisquick's), evaporated milk, onion powder, salt, pepper, parsley flakes   and pam cooking spray, so in a zip lock type bag in goes my instant taters, then 1 cup of pancake mix, then onion powder, salt, pepper, parsley flakes, (nothing measured mind you) and the evaporated milk I added almost 3/4 of the can, and WATER (i forgot to add this, YIKES) till I got the texture I was looking for thicker than soup and thinner than putty. (I would have added and egg if I had one) place cast iron skillet on burner, wait until pretty darn hot, spray with cooking spray, snip top corner of bag, squeezed out a good 4" round pancake, wait till edges are kinda brown and flip... cook till center feels firm...remove add ketchup and any other spices you may feel tasted good and eat up. I made two pancakes and there is enough for two more for breakfast if I so choose... I have wanted to try some salsa on top of these tater pancakes but I never seem to have any when I make them, but I have done sour cream...YUM! One of the hardest things to do is figure out what supplies/stores to keep for cooking, eating and drinking. What pots and pans you think work the best, what are your base food stores? .... would love to have a thread with just recipes

joey you have some great posts try adding a little garlic powder and you can use a little milk or cream (even powered creamer works) instead of cream cheese less fat for the heart healthy ones out there.                                                                                                    Milly

Tonight I am going to purchase one of those BBQ chickens, at a local warehouse type place you get twice the chicken for 1.00 less, but the chicken doesn't taste as good as what I call the "BBQ pigeon" they sell at our local grocery store, the skin is always crispy, and well seasoned! so I am going to splurge on the small chicken, it means less for the dogs.... but it's the gravy that is on my mind, I have some wine/balsomic sauce in the shop freezer, but I was thinking of taking a can of less sodium onion soup if I could find it, and adding a can of cream of chicken (I already have that one) and a package of instant taters, I will only use one pot. I could, if I wanted to make it in a cooking bag(s) but for some reason a dirty pot isn't bothering me to clean. I am not going to add any water to the two cans of soup.... will post back on how it turned out. So much for best laid plans, I did get my bbq chicken but they were out of onion soup (cambell's in a can kind) so I figured I would try onion soup mix and just add a can of water ....get back to the van fire up the stove reach into my food draw and pull out a can of......golden mushroom! DRATS! it's all I had and the chicken was calling, so I plunked it into the pot added the onion soup mix and a can a water and now I am waiting for it to cream up.... it's the right consistency for a good gravy, I'm mean really mushroom and onion? what could go wrong....? it taste good, but it seems the chicken has lost it's crispy epidermis....lol.....taters will take only a few moments to whip up and I am going to add a small can of biracial corn. wella dinner! and a good one at that! easy a two meal dinner.....

Thank you for sharing. Made some tacos today.  Elk meat with beans, taco seasoning, corn, onions and rotel.Top that with red onions, cheese (I used mozarella), tomatoes and lettuce.But what made today extra happy is I found a way to prop up my tacos... using an egg box! I am so tickled by this discovery (I am sure others already made before I did). To prevent the drips, I think I will use a plastic sheet or bag over it next time...

I am a real pack rat when it comes to cooking.  Basically, I never run out of:  Smoked sea salt (great flavor on most things including just scrambled eggs) Peppercorns Chili (and all the other spices except cinammon) I have garlic and onion powders and granules. For basic ingredients, I always keep: Rice eggs flour chicken powder/flavor soy sauce rice vinegar sugar, dried milk, coffee and cocoa packets dried noodles, mushrooms, seaweed, nori... With those, I can make a decent meal from whatever I buy from the store. I mean, it's almost a full kitchen.  Hope I'll be able to pack it all in my vehicle one of these days...

WanderingRain - That Himalayan salt you gave me as a housewarming gift is really really good too! I normally cook with kosher salt because it's easier to keep from over salting my food due to the large flakes, but the health benefits of this salt have made the switch worth it!

I guess you could make it, and then see what goes good with it?

bk2valve · Dec 4, 2012

Thanks Steve, good answer....on the other hand it would also help if i got a serious answer...as long as I am trying to keep up with the new posts...

I am serious. I have no idea what it is either, and the only thing I can think of right now are fettuccine noodles, chicken, and broccoli.

bk2valve · Dec 4, 2012

OK cool, It just looks like some one pinched that thread off of another one about recipes....Where's Joey when we need him... I'll have to pass though, an old fat guy like me needs something like that like a fish needs a bicycle...haha, where did I EVER hear that... Bri

karl · Dec 4, 2012

Hey BK May have been my ex- she said "a woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle"....think she was in your n'hood a few years back- manhater on a broom should be hard to forget<img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" /> Kidding- we get along tolerable now that we live apart.

Bri it's Alfredo sauce, and yes more of Kate's post trimming and condensing (yes throwing you under the bus again...hehehehe).... some parts lost in translation...

twokniveskatie · Dec 4, 2012

I transferred that as requested by the original poster and no I did not trim it. I shoulda just ignored the friggen request for a new forum.

twokniveskatie · Dec 4, 2012

Most likely the title of the thread was "Alfredo sauce recipe" which went directly to the ingredients in the first post. I'm sorry I wasn't thinking ahead far enough to anticipate the problem that occurred when, upon transfer of the thread, I created the new title.

twokniveskatie · Dec 4, 2012

But then again I could be wrong. That dark side of me that takes over when I sign on the Internet and says " how can I screw everybody on CRVL today? "

bk2valve · Dec 4, 2012

Karl, you are a hoot.....yeah, that is where I got it...from a woman finding out she had no need for a man...cool beans, that relieved some poor ol' man of his familial duties and let him get on with spittin',  fartin' and generally doing guy stuff... My one ex-wife i know is a good friend these days too. Always will be parents together. Kit, my current and last esposa calls her her ex-wife too...funny
