Trick or TreatTrick or TreatGive me somethinggood to eat Um, well, yes, goshdamndarnitholyshit, those there three cowboy hat holder uppers will do nicely.

I chose this

as my costume this year, ya know being an expert at playing with hoses and all, I thought it most appropriate.

Lets begin today with a skillet chili mac with corn and green chiles, recipe adapted from Cooks Illustrated Cookbook, and My Kitchen Cafe, recipe here. Thanks, Melanie, we loved it. Great weeknight meal, lotsa flavor, simple to make.

In a 12 inch skillet over med high heat you're gonna heat your oil till shimmering then add your beef, minced onion, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook till beef is no longer pink about 3 minutes. Stir in your garlic and brown sugar, till fragrant Now stir in your tomato sauce water and elbow macaroni Cover and cook till macaroni is tender bout 10 minutes. Now season with salt, pepper. Stir in 1 cup of your Mexican blend cheese, 1 cup of frozen corn, 1 can chopped green chiles, drained, and some chopped fresh cilantro Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheese over top Cover and let sit 2 minutes till cheese melts. Serve. I love these quick weeknight meals 1/2 hour tops. Delicious, kid friendly, FFH approvedHere are some cookies I made after seeing them on Valerie's blog. These are Creamy Cocoa Cookies with Fat Fudge Frosting, recipe here. And My Oh My are they sinfully good. Begin by creaming your butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. In separate bowl mix cream of tartar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour Add a bit at a time to the creamed mixture. Dough will be thick, like a nice cOck. Refrigerate dough for an hour or so, or overnight like me. Roll into balls and bake for 7 to 9 minutes till just until outside is cooked Do not over bake. Allow to cool on a rack. Make the frosting below and turn them into sandwiches To make frosting, combine your melted butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add milk slowly until frosting is creamy looking. I used a handheld mixer. Allow frosting to cool and thicken before spreading on cookies. Roll in sprinklesThanks Valerie for a keeper recipe. They are so pretty too. Kids and firefighter approved. I chose Halloween/fall colors, but for Christmas you can bet your sweet hot ass I'll be using red and green.

Get rid of your hairy taco. ... And I betcha you'll get some great O's!!!!

OK I feel SOOO much better now, had to get that off my gorgeous heaving chest. This is a post of one shots. You know the dinners where you get only one shot..why does that remind me of sex, one shot?? Who am I kidding.. everything reminds me of sex..So to repeat myself, no step by steps, this is another cleaning out the files week, back to regular programming next week or so.

I consider these all weeknight quickie type meals.. Lets begin with this one, shall we? Well you have no choice, so bite me! Pork with Braised Red Cabbage from Cooks Illustrated Best 30 Minute Meals Cookbook. I LOVE this cookbook, it has rescued me many a time on a busy night. Anyway, this was quite tasty, we adored the cabbage and it will be (already has been) repeated in our humble abode. Nextly, is another recipe from the goshdarned same book.. Skillet chicken pot pie. Now for this sucker, you can use either regular homemade biscuits, or premade biscuits, or even pie crust. Great alternative for a craving for pot pie without all the workThumbs up Cooks Illustrated. This next dish is a fradiavolo sauce from my gal pal Rachael Ray. I made the tasty sauce and added shrimp over angel hair By all means try this. I found it quite yummy. This crockpot dish is from Family Circle magazine, found here.. Great tasting pork loin dish loaded with cannelloni beans, fire roasted tomatoes, and rosemary, some pine nuts. Delish! Next post, more cleanouts and my secret top ten ways to give a mind blowing organ playing. Think I'm kidding? Break out the chapstick, my lady whores.

Turkey Soup and peanut butter pie

Turkey SoupPeanut Butter Pie
As promised a virginal post. To continue with my D & C (dusting and cleaning) of computer pics, I am strictly business for a spell. I also have a gift for you ... here he is use him as you will, and return him back to the box. You all know you want him. You think he's sexy. Small or big?

This was the best Turkey Soup I have ever made. And it all began with a carcass.. And so easy peasy. Please try this after Thanksgiving. The recipe is adapted from The Gourmet(bye bye we'll miss you) Cookbook, also found here, and is just perfect, IMVHO. You must begin by making turkey stock, and you can read about how in the key ingredient card below.

Next, heat your oil in a 3-4 quart sauce pan and add your onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until golden about 15 minutes Add your HOMEMADE broth, bring to a simmer and simmer till veggies are tender 15-17 minutes. Stir in your reserved chopped turkey, 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Salt and pepper to taste!!! Cook rice/ pasta separately and add as needed to each single bowl. I don't like to add together because if u store it, the starch seems to absorb some of the broth. Just my 2 cents worth.

Some tips: Broth can be made up to 3 days in advance. You can freeze for 1 month. Soup will keep for 5 days. I have tried many turkey soupsand this one is wonderful, full of fantastic flavorAfter Black Friday shopping I want you to try, K? I am submitting this soupto Deb at Kahakai Kitchen for Souper Sundays.Needed a quickie dessert, so I made this pie from Taste of Home Magazine. Begin by making the crust. Pulse some chocolate wafers, combine with melted butter and sugar and press in a 9 inch pie plateBake at 375 for 10 minutes. Cool. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, butter and vanilla till smooth Fold in freshly whipped creamGently spoon into crust.Garnish with extra cookie crumbs Refrigerate. Make sure to have a skinny pieceor notas this is a rich dessert Great for a quick throw together.

More lady in pure white to come. And no not come that way.
