I have always cooked and developed more quick (less than 30 min) recipes when a single Dad back in the 90's. Before Rachel Ray, who knew?. Now an empty nester and am collecting more simple food recipes. Oh yea, I make really great beers!! I cook with a lot of seafood, vegetables, grits, pasta, rice. I will cook with anything. I am trying to develope and learn more peasant, serf, county, basically poor peoples food. I have found to be able to take the less rich cuts and ingrediants and make those taste good is really cooking. 1. Chicken-gizzard strogneoff 2. Cheesy, shrimpy grits. 3. Greens with hocks, hominy, okra and cornbread on the side. 4. Skewered shrimp, scallops and vegies maranated in a seseme oil, rice wine vinagar with red peppers on the grill. 5.Baked stuffed pasta shells with ricotta, spinch, brockli and shrimp in an alfredo sauce. Small children like a red sauce though, so I split the 9x13 pan in half or use 2 cake pans. 6. Braised stuffed beef heart slow baked.
