Recipes

So, the fact that I even have an entry titled "recipes" makes me chuckle a bit. Never one to spend much time being productive in the kitchen, I've gotten a little brave as of late and have made some pretty good attempts at some tasty delights. Here are a few:

Peppermint Bark

Melt 18oz. white chocolate.

Break apart candy canes into bits no bigger than 1/4 in.

mix that junk up in a bowl.

Add a splash of peppermint extract.

Pour over some parchment paper and chill for about 45 minutes.

Break that mess apart and eat it up.

Lazy Pierogie Casserole

Put yourself 5 lasagna noodles (al dente) in the bottom of a glass 9x13ish dish.

Mix up an egg, 2 c. of cottage cheese and a dash of onion salt.

Plop that mixture right on top of those noodles.

Put yourself another layer of lasagna noodles on top of that.

Then put 2 c. of mashed potatoes with about a cup of cheddar cheese mixed in.

Put yet one more layer of lasagna noodles and then melt a c. of butter and mix that up with a c. of diced onions...dribble that deliciousness on the top of your casserole.

Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350.

Porkchops a la Orange (or whatever)

Sear 4 boneless porkchops with a bit of salt and pepper.

Generously sprinkle some cinnamon on those bad boys.

Dump a can of mandarin oranges (with juices) on top.

Cover and let simmer for about 30 minutes.

Serve over egg noodles.
