Being that I am basically a housewife, my fiancée works while I try to get our business off the ground. I have a lot of time on my hands, if I am not on DSF and washing pills down with beer I am usually cooking for her so she doesn’t have to when she gets home.
I am hoping that there are people here that are into cooking and wouldn’t mind sharing recipes. I have quite a few amazing ones that I can contribute if anyone wants to share?
I have no idea how this thread will go over and I really hope I don’t get laid into for this, but I am fully prepared for the onslaught to begin.
Shasta here is the amazing part…it was her idea! This is why I am marring her.
Long story but I got fired from a sales job because she hurt her back and I was “taking too much time off work”. Lawsuit pending…they put it in writing…idiots. Before all of this went down we had a great business idea and she said that I should just stay home and work on that instead of getting another job.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2 cups fresh blueberries
For the Topping:
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. DO NOT OVER MIX. Only mix until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
3. Combine all the topping ingredients. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
Authentic Italian Chicken Soup
You Need:
5 lb chicken, cut up in large sections
1 lb. onions, quartered, plus one cup chopped to add later
3 parsley sprigs
1 parsnip root (will be boiled with everything, and discarded later)

10 crushed peppercorns, or 1 t fresh ground pepper
1 bay leaf
1 handful of small noodles of your choice (preferably egg noodles) OR Rice
4 carrots, sliced or chopped fine

(Carrots go in later) Bring to boil and reduce to a gentle simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. Strain. Add water to make 4 cups stock. Take meat off bones and put it back into stock.

1 Package Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
About a half a head of garlic, crushed or chopped finely
2 Tablespoons Dried Rosemary
1 Bottle White Wine
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
1) Get a Frying pan fairly hot and put enough oil into coat the bottom of the pan Salt and Pepper the Chicken on both sides. Braise each side of the chicken, about a minute on each side.
2) Pour in about half the bottle of wine, the garlic and rosemary. Reduce the heat to med low
3) Drink the bottle of wine while the chicken simmers and the wine cooks down (about 8-10 min)
4) You can do one of two things here, you can let the wine reduce until it becomes sort of a sauce on top of the chicken, OR, you can cook it right down until the chicken gets crispy. Usually you DONT cook anything with garlic down that much (it burns) but with this recipe it works splendidly!!
You can serve this with pasta, veggies or even just potatoes on the side.
