Why cooking Experiments

If you haven't figured out already most of my "recipes" are more like guidelines to make something that is relatively similar to what we made.   There are some recipes that I will place here but for the most part they are guidelines and the next time I make the dish I will not likely use the same recipe the same way.  I am in this house the combat kitchen cook.  If I don't have the right spices I am just as likely to make some orange spice tea add some vinigar and oil and place chicken in THAT to bake it than try to go out and buy the 1 or two other ingredients that I need.   For me this tends to work well however some people do much better with conventional recipes that do not get changed up as much.  for them I would suggest food.com.   If you are interested in trying this method and haven't ever done so instead of trying everything at once it may be a good idea to only change one thing or two in a recipe.  Substitute Soup noodles for rice in a soup dish or sausage for chicken  or both.   If you do something crazy and fun and want it featured comment and I would love to post it here (after trying a variation of my own) with other suggestions on how to make it 3 or 4 different ways.

Meat crustini type thing

Create Pie crust in the usual way

Brown your chosen ground meat (sausage, turkey, beef, lamb, TVP or other vegetarian substitute) with two eggs in the mix till meat is throughly browned and eggs are entigrated.  Add cheese of choice (we used blue cheese, feta and and turkey)
Pour mixture into pie crust center that has been rubbed with olive oil.  Place more cheese on top and wrap crust around meat filling so a hole is left at the top to see the filling.  Add more cheese to outside and bake.

This is not diet food.   This as far as I know can not be made into a vegan dish.  This is a weekend brunch food for our household and it's yummy.
