arrow right cookie monster's sugar cookies

Cookie Monster's Sugar CookiesPosted by GourmetGal at recipegoldmine.comI got this one from a nursery school teacher friend many years ago. It was what she made for her "kids" for rewards! Rightly so! I had posted it at old TSR for someone looking for a soft sugar  cookie that they could ship. This is what I posted.These can be soft OR crisp. The key is to take them out AS SOON AS they start to puff up. For me it is about 8 minutes. You should do one cookie sheet first to test your oven for time. I have been making these for about 20 years and always mailed them to my kids in college cut out in appropriate shapes and decorated for major holidays - Valentine's Day as well as Easter, Halloween and Christmas. I wrapped two cookies at a time in Saran Wrap - backs touching each other so you don't mess up the icing. I packed them in the box with PLASTIC BAGS (from the grocery store!) on the bottom, between layers and tucked in all the corners. Most of the time they would make it without too many broken ones. In my sons' cases, they really didn't care if they were broken or not (Cookie Monster always said "Me LOVES Cookies!" and broke them on the way to his mouth anyway!)3/4 cup butter1 cup granulated sugar2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon saltCream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla extract and blend. Add remaining ingredients and blend. Chill at least one hour.Roll dough onto flour surfaced and cut out into shapes. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8 - 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

arrow right peach yogurt coffee cake

Peach Yogurt Coffee CakePosted by Cookin Dad at recipegoldmine.com 9/22/02 7:45:58 amDear Recipe Goldmine Friends,It has been a long time since I last checked in. As many of you might know, I returned to the states for a month-long vacation last summer. While it was great  to visit with relatives and friends, I did pay a BIG price when I returned to my office (lots of unfinished work and long hours--smile).My trip to the states was enlightening to say the least. I discovered that many things have changed for the better, especially in Northern Virginia where I found there to be more of a sense of community. There are also awesome shopping centers (at least to me since I don't visit them everyday) that have sprung up everywhere. Wow!--talk about consumer choices.Anyhow, it was also great to finally have a chance to stock up on impossible-to-find items such as coconut extract, double boilers, roasting pans, countertop fryers, etc. When I passed through customs, they must have thought I had a few loose screws. Now that I'm caught up on most of my work, I plan to put all of these aforementioned items--that most people take for granted--to use.I miss visiting online with everyone and look forward to spending more time now that I am able to balance work, family and recreation. This past year has been fulfilling , but quite overwhelming. Anyhow, without further ado, here is a coffee cake recipe I recently threw together as an experiment. The kids and wife gobbled it up and I think you will enjoy it too. My family also liked the firm topping due to addition of oats. Lastly, I will also post a Szechuan Chicken recipe in a few minutes. Hope all is well with everyone and sorry for such a long message.Regards,Cookin' DadPeach Yogurt Coffee Cake1 cup (2 sticks) margarine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 7/8 cup of your favorite peach yogurt 1 teaspoon butter extract 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (can leave out if    not available in your area supermarket) 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon saltTopping 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup Quaker oats 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup margarineTo make topping, mix all ingredients except margarine. Cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly (By the way, I finally bought a pastry blender; it is very handy when making coffee cake toppings. I'm starting to get spoiled - smile).Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Sift all dry ingredients and set aside.In another bowl, cream sugars and margarine until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add peach yogurt and flour mixture, starting with and ending with flour. Stir in extracts. Pour batter into greased and floured 8-inch square pan. Sprinkle topping over the batter in the pan. Bake for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!

arrow right bbq basics

BBQ Basicsby Kevin Taylor, the BBQ GuruSo, you bought the new grill and are rarin? to go! Let?s start with some basic grilling techniques. First I would like to define the various heat temperatures?..HOT, MEDIUM, LOW.HOT?..temperatures above 450 degrees F. Primarily used  for searing meats. When we talk about searing, it is NOT in regards to sealing the juices in. That is nearly impossible on a grill. Instead, searing is the caramelization of the meat. That is the process that is responsible for that grilled taste.MEDIUM??temperatures between 300 ? 400 degrees F. This is normally what most things are cooked at. First you sear at HIGH temps then you will finish cooking at MEDIUM temps.LOW??temperatures between 225 ? 275 degrees F. These low temps are used on larger cuts of meat that are laden with fat that must be rendered. The only way to accomplish this is to cook the meat at low temps for extended periods of time.Let?s now review the difference between direct and indirect heat. Direct heat means the meat is placed directly over the flames or heat source. Lean cuts of meat will be grilled using the direct heat method. Indirect means that the meat is placed away from the heat source. Indirect heat is used for larger cuts of meat that are not as lean. See the article entitled "Indirect Heat" for a full explanation of how to use these methods.Next, let?s talk about the various meat temperatures?..what we call doneness temps. These are always somewhat controversial, simply because everyone likes their meats done a little different. These are the MINIMUM temps I use when finishing meatsBEEF145 degrees F for medium rare. All the bad bugs in beef are killed at this temp. The one exception here is ground beef. That should always be cooked to 160 degrees F because of the huge surface area that promotes bacterial formation.CHICKEN165 degrees F for white meat, 185 degrees F for dark meat. Salmonella is killed at 165 degrees F.PORK150 degrees F for medium rare. Don?t worry about trichinosis, as it is killed at 137 degrees F.As I mentioned, these are my minimum temps and if you like your meats done a little more that is fine. Just don?t cook them too much?...they will dry out.I strongly suggest a good quality meat thermometer. The new digital instant read thermo?s are very affordable and easily carried around in your pocket. This is essential, especially if you are new to the grilling experience. Once you are comfortable with the time it takes to bring meats to these temps, then the thermo can be replaced by "feel and touch".OK, time to start grillin?!!Here are my 25 most important tips... Brush food with oil. This will prevent sticking. Olive oil is my choice. Don?t brush the grill, it will burn your brush!For most meats, sear over high heat first, then move to lower heat to finish.Turn often. I don?t care what the "experts" say! Don?t let too much juice accumulate on the top of the meat?you will only lose that juice once you turn it over.When seasoning, larger roasts should be seasoned and then wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight. Smaller cuts of meat should be seasoned 1- 2 hours prior to cooking.If using a marinade to baste, BOIL it first!For burgers??.Mix the spices (salt, pepper, etc) before forming into patties.Use only ground beef that has at least 20% fat (usually ground chuck). You need it for the juices!Make an indentation in the center of the patty. This will eliminate the "plumping" in the middle.Make 6 ounce patties that are 3/4-inch thick.For steaks??..Use only Choice or better cuts of meat.Trim all surrounding fat.When slicing, cut against the grain."Rest" the meat before and after grilling. Allow the meat to come up to room temp prior to grilling. After grilling, let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.Salt just prior to grilling?..too soon and all the juices may be drawn out.For poultry??.Whenever possible, keep the skin on. It will help to keep the meat from drying out.Season all parts of the chicken. Work your fingers up under the skin and apply your rub/seasonings underneath. Then replace the skin. Also, apply rub to the cavity area.As far as flipping, generally, bone-in pieces need not be flipped, while boneless pieces should be flipped half way through cooking. Trim all fat from exterior.Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking skinless, boneless breasts. 165 degrees F is done and that is attained very quickly.Try brining or injecting for dispersing extra flavor and moistness inside the bird. See article on brining.For seafood??.Use fresh when possible, but "fresh-frozen" is just as good and sometimes better than fresh!Fish is done when the flesh turns opaque (this includes shellfish). This is a better indicator than the old test of flakiness. Place a sharp knife between the meat sectionsand check.When grilling shrimp use the jumbo variety. You are less likely to overcook.Don?t use foil to cook your fish. You need to get that flame broiled taste. There are a couple exceptions?.sole, dory and flounder are very thin fillets and will need some foil.Well, this should be a good guide to get you going. Keep in mind, there are always a few exceptions to the tips above. But for starters, these will do!Enjoy!!Kevin Taylor

arrow right sausage making the easy way

Sausage Making the Easy WayFrom the kitchen of Kevin Taylor, the BBQ GuruWhen it comes to sausage, count me in!! BUT, I am also rather picky and I know what I want. So, because of this, I learned to make my own sausage many years ago.At first, I thought it a rather  daunting task?you would need a grinder and a stuffer and casings and a smoker and room to hang the sausages and?Well, you get the idea. I couldn?t help but think?..There must be an easier way!!Yes there is! Let me share with you some ideas that will make your sausage manufacturing much easier. Why do you really need sausages to be in nice little cylindrical shapes? Have you ever found yourself chopping sausage into ?coins? and battling those tuff casings? Or, have you ever opened the casing and taken the sausage out for using on a pizza or some other recipe? Why go through the bother of this? The first lesson I learned was to keep my sausage in bulk form. You can always form it at a later date. It is also much more versatile and easier to freeze in bulk form.Now, how did it get into bulk in the first place? What about those grinders you need? I have never owned a grinder in over 15 years of making sausage! A butcher will gladly grind anything you want and will do it to your exact specifications. I use combinations of pork, veal and beef and just tell my butcher I need so much of each. Now, the secret to many great sausages is how much fat is included in those meats. I always look for at least 20% fat content! You need that much to keep the sausages juicy and tasty. Too much lessthan that and they will not taste right and will be very dry.The size of the grind is important as well. I ask for a 2 step grind. First through a 3/16-inch sausage plate and then through a 1/8-inch hamburger plate. This will give you the perfect grind for most of your sausages. You will need this slightly finer grind because you will not have any casings holding them together.Now it is a matter of mixing your spices into the meat. This is very important as you need to THOROUGHLY mix the seasonings into the meat. Because the meat is pre-ground, the ONLY way to do this is by hand. I suggest using some inexpensive, rubber disposable gloves?.a great chance to play surgeon! Pre-mix your spices first! This will help with the dispersion of them. Sprinkle half the seasonings over the meat being sure to cover all the exposed area. Then turn over and repeat on the other side. Now you are ready to start your hand operated mixer! Work the meat like you would knead bread?bring new meat up from the bottom and squeeze it through your fingers. This operation should take 10-15 minutes to complete. Remember, the seasoning must be dispersed evenly throughout the meat. Otherwise you will get ?pockets? of intense flavor.Once the meat is seasoned and mixed it is time for the spices to get to know one another. I let my sausage get intimate for about 3 days. Just keep it in the bowl you mixed it in and place plastic wrap on top of the meat?be sure the wrap touches the meat!  A simple lid will not work, you want no air to touch the meat.OK, you now have a batch of sausage ready!! But, what to do from here? Much of it you can keep in bulk form and freeze for later use. Always package in smaller sizes so you can just thaw out as much as needed. The rest can be made into patties or links. Patties are easy, so let?s look at making links without those pesky casings.You need the sausage to ?set up? first. Sausage ?sets? at around 130 degrees F. To do this, form your cold sausage into the desired length and thickness you prefer. This is a great way to ?customize? your sausage for the buns you are using! Then, wrap this link tightly in plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal it closed. Now, the sausage will take about 40-50 minutes to set. You must do this in a LOW heat environment. Plastic wrap melts at approximately 275 degrees F, so keep your temps below that. You can do this in an oven or in a smoker or VERY carefully on a grill using indirect low heat. I try to keep my temps around 225-235 degrees F.Once the sausage is set up you can finish grilling or using however you prefer. Simply unwrap and discard the plastic wrap and wipe any excess moisture from the outside of the meat. If you are smoking, the sausage will still take up smoke at this point so just smoke it as you would smoke any other meat. If you are grilling, finish it off on the grill. Just be careful when turning and flipping and serving. I always serve from the grill directly onto the bun?that avoids too much handling.Another way to accomplish the ?set up? of the sausage is to wrap in foil and boil. I do this with a variety of Italian sausage that I serve as a cold appetizer. I have also done this with homemade bratwurst that is later grilled. Again, form your sausage but this time wrap in foil. Submerge in boiling water (or other liquid) for 45 minutes (large summer sausage type rolls) and then unwrap and cool and serve cold. For smaller links like brats, a boil of 20 minutes is all that is needed. Then they can be finished on the grill.If you use your sausage for cutting into coins, that is how I use my andouille in my Cajun recipes, simply take your bulk sausage and form into tiny patties or roll into small balls and cook as needed. In my Cajun recipes, I simply roll into small balls and then flatten slightly and throw into the pot. If you have smoked or cooked your sausage already, then just slice as you normally would.I hope this gives you some ideas on how to make sausage without all the normal equipment. I have been doing it for many years and turn out some very good sausage that suits my tastes. And you can do the same!
