Any chefs out there in Wikiworld? If so, post some cool recipes here. Or if you try someone's recipe, leave comments.

Please only post serious recipes.

I'll go first:

Didymus' Homestyle Jambalaya

1 lb smoked sausage, chopped
1 chopped onion
1 chopped bell pepper
1 chopped jalapeno (or 2 for extra kick)
2 cups rice
4 cups hot water
salt
pepper
oregano
optional: 1 chopped tomato or 1 can diced tomatoes
optional: 1 lb chicken, pork, or seafood.

Saute the sausage in a large sauce on med-high heat until brown.
Add onions. Stir until onions carmelize.
Add bell pepper, jalapeno, and rice. Stir until rice soaks up the sausage renderings.
Add hot water, dry spices, and any optional ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then simmer with a lid for about 25 minutes.
Remove from heat. Let rice cool before serving.

Didymus' Easy-to-Make Homestyle Chicken Soup.

1 Whole Rotisserie chicken
3 Middle-sized carrots
3 Large sticks of celery
1 Onion
12oz Mushrooms
Salt
Pepper
Optional: Noodles

The easiest way to do the chicken is to just buy one of those pre-made whole Rotisserie chickens at your favorite grocery store (I like the Herb flavored). If you like, you could even eat some of the meat before starting (just keep in mind, the more meat you save, the meatier your soup will be. I usually eat most of the white meat and make my soup with the dark).

Pull the meat off the bones. Store in the refridgerator.

Boil the bones and skin in a stock pot or crock pot for about 2 - 4 hours. Make sure there is at least enough water to start with to cover over all the bones (start with about 2 quarts, and add more if necessary). This will be your starting broth.

Remove the bones and skin from the broth. If you like, you can skim the fat off the top with a ladel, and pour it into a glass. Put the glass in the refridgerator and let the fat harden. Later, you can remove the fat and pour the skimmed broth back into your soup.

Season your broth with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add herbs like Parsley or Oregano, if you like.

Chop your onion, carrots, and celery. Add to your broth, along with mushrooms, chicken meat, and any rice or noodles you wanted to add. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 2 hours.

Or maybe to see who can come up with the most recipes. I don't know.

I just thought it'd be a good place to share recipes.

And yes, Cooking is a MASCULINE Art!

(But you ladies can chip in, too, if you want).

Tybo's Really Simple Barbecue Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or more, or whatever, this is all kinda relative, I don't have many exact "recipies")
garlic powder
onion powder
1/3 bottle decent barbecue sauce, more or less (I use Kraft "Hickory Smoke")

LIGHTLY dust both sides of chicken breasts with garlic and onion powders, (I've found that using about twice as much (still rather small amounts) garlic as onion produces a better flavor for me)

Spray a glass baking dish with a non stick cooking spray (this saves very much cleanup time!!)

Put the chicken in the dish and pour about half of the barbecue sauce on them... make sure the side is covered well with the barbecue sauce. Use your hands, get them dirty (cooking is fun!). Then, turn the chicken over and repeat with the other side.. The idea is that you want the chicken to be coated with barbecue sauce pretty well on both sides.

Cover the dish semi tightly with aluminum foil and place in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, just depending on how the chicken cooks.. I usually leave it for 1 hour 45 minutes.. The foil keeps the moisture in, and the chicken is incredibly tender.

I only know very simple recipes.

Like chicken salad: Buy some canned chicken. Drain. Add mayonnaise and mix until it looks like chicken salad. Add some celery, onions, or other stuff if you're into that, but I recommend sweet corn. Put it on a roll. Eat in a frantic gnashing motion.

Let's see, what else..

Marinated chicken is good: Go to the store and get some kind of dressing. Italian is good, so is bleu cheese. Also try teryaki. Put raw chicken in a baggy with enough dressing to cover it, and refridgerate overnight, turning once. Grill or bake, basting occasionally.

Oh, this is a good one: Chicken + Rice-a-Roni + Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom Soup. Put half the Rice-a-Roni and cream soup in the bottom of a baking dish. Lay the chicken on top, and cover with the rest of the Rice-a-Roni and cream soup. Bake. Eat.

So I'm not much for recipe cards. Though I do try more complicated things with actual recipes sometimes, and actually do pretty well. But when you live on your own, interesting cooking becomes less of a priority. So do clothes.

WEIRDED OUT! TMI, Dude!

Speaking of chicken breast, here's one of my favorite recipes.

Didymus’ Southwestern Lime Chicken

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 cup Lime Juice
1 Jalapeno
3 Cloves Garlic
Cumin
Salt
Pepper
Onion
Bell Pepper
Optional: Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Optional: Cilantro

Mince the jalapeno and the garlic. Add to the lime juice and let sit.

Lightly coat the chicken breasts with cumin, salt, and pepper. Put them in a shallow casserole dish. Pour lime juice mixture on top. Cover and refrigerate for a while.

When the chicken breasts have marinated to your liking, remove them from the juice. Save the juice.

Cook the chicken breasts in your preferred method:
Sauté them in an iron skillet.
Grill them in a George Foreman Grill.
(my personal favorite) Broil them on a charcoal or flame grill.

Be sure to baste the chicken with the leftover lime juice throughout the cooking process.

Slice your onion and bell pepper. Grill or sauté them in the skillet.

Boil the remaining lime juice, or use the lime juice to deglaze your skillet or Foreman Grill. This will make an excellent sauce to pour over your chicken.

You could just eat the chicken with onion and bell pepper, topped with some of your lime sauce. I like to add sharp cheddar cheese and cilantro as well. You can also chop the cooked chicken and serve it in flour tortillas.

A Little Secret

I love flour tortillas. I especially like to buy the uncooked ones at the grocery store. I take them and grill them over charcoal or flame for just about a minute. They come out really good and fresh that way, plus the grilling adds a nice smoky flavor. It reminds me a lot of Indian Nan bread.

Here's a couple of my faves. First off, I don't measure. I cook from the heart...or the stomach...either way, winging it makes it better.

Lucky Mashed Potatoes
A bunch of Maine Potatoes
A few cloves of fresh garlic
A splash of olive oil
A couple splashes of milk (closer to half and half the better)
A dollop of sour cream
A sprinkle of parsley
Country Crock Margarine
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Prep:
cube the potatoes (leave the skin on!!! that's the best!)
peel the garlic and chop it (leave it in big chunks)
Cook:
Boil the potatoes until they're nice and soft
Sautee the garlic in a little bit of olive oil, adding parsley and pepper
Drain the water from the potatoes and throw in the sauteed garlic
Add a bit of the margarine, a splash or two of milk, and a dollop of sour cream
Mash together until appropriate mashed potatoed consistency is achieved
Serve.

Grilled Baked Potatoes
Maine potatoes
Lipton French Onion soup mix
Olive Oil
Fresh garlic
do it:
Wash potatoes
Stick potatoes with a fork for ventilation (i'm not crazy)
Microwave the potatoes for about 10 minutes (makes it faster)
Use a knife to crosshatch over the top of the potatoes (locks in flavor!)
Top with olive oil, fresh garlic, and soup mix
wrap in tinfoil
grill on a nice high flame for about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally
unwrap and serve
(good toppings=sour cream, jalapeno cheddar dip, bacon bits)

Chickenstuff
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
Fresh Fettucini
Fresh Tortelini of any kind.
Tomatoes
Green, Red, Yellow Bell Peppers
White Onion
Seasoning of your choice
White wine sauce (usually you can find it in "just add water" form)
The Process:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place the chicken breasts in a baking pan
Season appropriately
slice up vegetables and put on top of the chicken
Bake in oven for about a half hour
Boil water
Toss in tortellini first (usually takes twice the time of the fettucini)
Toss in fettucini
Prepare your white wine sauce (or chicken gravy, works well too)
Drain pasta
Serve chicken and vegetables over a bed of pasta topped with sauce.

Happy eating!

I had no idea you could buy uncooked tortillas. I'll have to look for them the next time I'm at the grocery store. The pre-cooked ones are usually so dry and crappy.

Easily my favorite mexican restaurant is Pancheros, not least because of their fresh tortillas. They take a ball of dough and put it in a tortilla press and make your tortilla right in front of you. So good. Pancheros is kind of the Quiznos of mexican food. Ooh, an analogy:

Pancheros : Taco Bell :: Quiznos : Subway.

Anyway, there's a really good cooking blog that I thought you guys might enjoy: Cooking for Engineers. It's sort of a Good Eats (I love that show) meets Bill Nye. Or something. Maybe just Good Eats meets Blogger. Anyway, check it out.

Here Ramrod's A1 Hamburger recipe!

what you need:
Fresh Ground Beef (not pre-packaged)
1 bottle of steak sauce (A1 preferred)

mix ground beef with steak sauce (not hard, is it?)
cook over grill (Charcoal preferred)

The steak sauce adds a special kind of zing to your burgers. If you cook it over a charcoal grill it will def add flavor to your food.

Now that isn't hard, is it?

My college roommate, Hutch, used to make the famous "Hutchburger": Form ground beef into patties, sprinkle on a pinch of onion powder and two shakes of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce on each patty, and grill. Repeat onion powder and Worcestershire sauce on other side when flipping.

Didymus' Homemade Chili

2 lb Hamburger
1 Large Bell Pepper (or 2 small)
1 Medium Onion (about ½ lb.)
2 Jalapeno Peppers
32 oz Stewed Tomatoes
16 oz Red Kidney Beans
Cumin
Garlic
Black Pepper
Salt
Optional: 8 oz Can of Whole Kernel Corn

Brown Hamburger, seasoning with garlic, black pepper, and salt. Drain or skim the grease off (I prefer skimming so I don't lose all that hearty beef flavor).

Chop the onion and bell pepper. Put them in a good-sized crock-pot or stockpot. Add hamburger. Mince the Jalapeno and add that as well.

Add in the beans and stewed tomatoes. Mix in about a teaspoon of ground cumin. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic.

Let simmer for about 2 or 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Serve with sharp cheddar cheese and tortilla chips.

If you like it a little soupier, just add another 16 oz of tomatoes.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE JUMBOTRON, veterans, I'm really back.

I started from the Betty Crocker book, but didn't like the way it would have turned out without my modifications. The taste was a big hit with the Ladies. Please note that I use improper fractions for philosophical reasons.

Buz's Shrimp Potate Salad

• 2 lbs of those little red potatoes, peeled.
• 3/2 cups miracle whip (just under a 16 oz jar).
• 1 TBSP soy milk.
• 1 TSP salt.
• 1/4 TSP pepper.
• 5/4 cup chopped celery.
• 1/4 cup chopped onion.
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, seperated and chopped.
• a dozen or so boiled, de-tailed shrimp, chopped.
• Paprika and Tumeric (for color)

1. Boil potatoes on low about 30 minutes - they should be cooked but still firm, not mashable. Cut into cubes.
2. In large bowl, mix miracle whip, soy milk, salt, pepper, and burled egg yolks until well blended.
3. Toss in onion, celery, potatoes, shrimp, and toss until well coated
4. Fold in boiled egg whites.
5. Place mixture in serving bowl (if you're into presentation), and sprinkle sparing amounts of paprika and tumeric in blotchy patterns on the top for color. Refrigerate overnight for the concoction to blend flavors most favorably.

I'm thinking 4 servings, but those would be as served for a main dish at a potluck. If'n you've got a main course already and just wanted a tiny bowlful as a side, this would make maybe 10.

My recepie for cheatcakes is somewhere else on the site, but that taste was not a big hit with the ladies.

KateESportsinterviews Recipe for the Best Crap You'll Ever Eat:

Take a banana, cut it into chunks. Set aside
Heat up a skillet, melt some butter in it.
Once your butter's melted, and starting to bubble, chuck the bananas in there.
Sprinkle about a fourth of a cup of brown sugar over your bananas.
Cook for a few minutes, until the bananas are kinda mushy and the brown sugar and the butter have mixed together to form a liquid caramelly thing. Remember to stir while cooking.
Put some vanilla ice cream in a bowl. (Well where else would you put it? Your shoes? Well, you can put it in your shoe if you want. I don't care. )
Pour bananas and caramel sauce over ice cream.
Drizzle honey over the whole deal. (optional... in case you haven't gone into a diabetic coma yet. this'll do the trick.)

A new recipe I just invented. I call it Mediterranean Style Turkey Wraps.

Ingredients:

Sliced Turkey (I like Mesquite flavored)
Tortillas (I used Garlic Herb flavored)
Roma Tomatoes
Bell Peppers
Onion
Banana Peppers (I just used the jarred kind)
Grated Cheese (I use Hunter's Cheese, an extremely sharp cheddar).
Oregano
Crushed Red Pepper

1. On a tortilla, put a tiny bit of grated cheese. On top of that, put some sliced Roma Tomatoes, Onions, Bell Pepper, and Banana Peppers. Add Oregano, Crushed Red Pepper, and Ground Black Pepper (no salt. The turkey has plenty of salt already).


2. On top of the veggies, add some Turkey Slices.


3. Wrap them carefully, not letting any of the ingredients escape (they try to get away sometimes).


4. Grill them or toast them in the oven until the wrap gets slightly crunchy. This gets all the flavors inside blending and working together.


5. Eat 'em up. Deeeelish! And good for you, too!

BTG's Baby Back Rib Sauce

1 Cup Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3-4 dashes if Tobasco sauce
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 tsp celery seed (important ingredient)

Combine all ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Pre-cook (bake or microwave) 1 lb ribs per person, until not quite done (light pink). Broil on grill (charcol works best), basting with sauce. Turn often. Use any remaining sauce at table to brush ribs at time of eating.

This stuff is so good, that if you put some on the top of your head, your tongue will beat your brains out trying to get it.
