There’s so much you can do with chicken. This is a quite original dish containing banana and peanuts. It’s originally a Swedish dish called “Flygande Jakob” which means ”Flying Jacob”  in English. The name derives from the founder of the recipe, Ove Jakobsson who was a flight freight manager. The recipe reached the magazines in 1975. The original version is supposed to be oven baked but takes significantly longer. This version of the dish can be made directly on the stove and will take less than 30 minutes to complete. A great recipe for the whole family. The kids love the combination of banana and peanuts.

2 servings

Ingredients:

2 chicken breast fillets

1 cup whipping cream

0.5 lbs bacon

1 banana

0,2 cups peanuts

2 tbsp chili sauce

Salt

Pepper

Mix of herbs

Directions:

Slice the chicken breasts in cubes. Fry the chicken cubes and add salt and pepper. When the chicken is getting ready, add whipping cream and simmer until the cream is starting to get bubbly. Slice the banana and put it in the frying pan along with the other ingredients. Add some extra salt and pepper, some chili sauce and herbs. You can either fry the bacon separately until it’s crispy and then put it in the main pan or add it directly to the frying pan with the other ingredients.

Last but not least, add the peanuts and stir.

Red chili was discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus in the West Indies. He didn’t know what he had stumbled across, thinking he had just found one of the varieties of black peppers. He brought the red chili back to Europe with him. The chili was a hit and sold quickly because it was cheaper than black pepper. Soon people in Europe were growing their own red chili rather than paying for imported chili from India.

The love of red chili spread across the land as explorers traveled with them to India, South Asia, and China. The only nationality that did not take to them well were the Italians. However, it was used sparingly in some sauces. In Europe, red chili is believed to be an aphrodisiac for men.

Red chili comes in many degrees of intensity. Some are very mild while some are so hot your whole body feels like it has caught on fire. Common symptoms that the red chili is hot is sweating and a runny nose. Many chili festivals sponsor chili eating contests. It is quite entertaining to watch grown men suffering from the heat of these red chili’s, yet they continue to eat them in a quest to consume more than the competition.

Red chili can be eaten whole or ground to make chili powder. This powder is a common additive in the United States for various Mexican food dishes. It is even used to add flavor to meat for tacos and tostados. In Texas, red chili is a dish you eat with a spoon. It contains meat, spices, and beans.

You can purchase red chili at your local super market or from a produce stand. You can also choose to grow your own red chili. They grow very similar to tomato plants. Red chili grows best in climates with very high temperatures and lots of humidity.

Red chili is a commonly used ingredient in cultures and foods around the world. It adds a wonderful spice to many dishes we enjoy. There are cook books full of recipes to try that use red chili. You will also find delicious recipes to make Texas style chili. The internet is also a great place to find recipes for red chili.

Having a favorite chicken recipe on hand when mingled with Mexican food cuisine will obviously take you to explore this recipe.

Choosing the best solution for your needs means looking at a lot of Mexican food recipes. In addition, you will want to explore the differences between Tex-Mex food and Mexican food. This Chicken and Bean Burritos recipe incorporates a lot of healthy possibilities along with delicious Tex-Mex cuisine that is not always for the healthy conscious.

Chicken and Bean Burritos

Ingredients:

4-5 chicken breasts (or thighs or a mixture)

1 small onion chopped

1-2 bay leaves

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/8 tsp red pepper

1/8 tsp white pepper

1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

chicken stock or broth

1 red onion chopped

1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced fine

1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

grated Colby-Jack cheese

fat free sour cream

2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed

salsa

lettuce, chopped

tomatoes, chopped

burrito-sized flour tortillas

Directions:

Place chicken, onion, bay leaves, spices in a pot and cover with chicken stock. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is done. Remove the chicken, let cool and shred. Strain the broth and save.

Drain and rinse the pinto beans. Place the pinto beans in a food processor and process until smooth, adding a couple of tablespoons of either salsa or chicken broth or sour cream if too thick.

In a bowl, combine the chicken and beans, again adding salsa or the chicken stock until the filling mixture is moist enough to stick together. (If you get it too wet, add more processed beans). Add the chopped red onion, the jalapeno pepper and the chopped cilantro and mix.

Take a large flour tortilla and spread with a little bit of the fat free sour cream and some grated cheese. Add a couple of tablespoons of the filling on one end and fold the sides over and then roll up. You can use a toothpick to keep it rolled up or place it end side down to keep it from unrolling.

Either bake in the oven at 450F until brown and crunchy or microwave until hot. Serve topped with lettuce, tomatoes and red onion, fat free sour cream, grated cheese, salsa and jalapenos.

Have you heard this one….

A Texan’s explanation (exaggerated and over simplified) of what is Tex-Mex food?

“Anything with jalapeno peppers in it or with it is Tex-Mex!”

White chili was invented in Chihuahua, Mexico in 1840. It was served at the various Cantina’s, offering a delicious food that was spicy and very inexpensive to make. It is also believed to have been used when meat was in short supply. Cow hands throughout Texas were also known to eat white chili as they tracked the cattle along the prairie. It is called white chili because of the white chili beans in it.

There are several ways to make white chili. The most popular way is with pieces of chicken breast. There are generally several types of chilis in a white chili recipe. These chilies include Anaheim’s, jalapenos, green chili and dried New Mexico peppers. White chili is commonly served with heated flour or corn tortillas on the side.

White bean and pork chili is very popular in Texas. You will need an onion, olive oil, one cup of baby carrots, two chopped celery sticks, two minced garlic cloves, one pound of pork diced into small chunks, chili powder, oregano, sage, diced tomatoes, and beans. Cook your meat first. Once it has cooled add all the other ingredients. Add enough water to allow the beans to soak and soften. This is a chunky chili that you eat with a fork. While it really doesn’t look at that appealing, you will love the smell and the taste. This white chili is served with warm biscuits or fresh cornbread.

One of the most unique white chili concoctions is cheesy lime white chili. This includes green beans, corn, white chili beans and tofu. It is commonly mistake for a stew rather than a chili. Those who like this type of white chili really seem to enjoy the flavor, but it is one not too many people are very keen on. It is worth trying though. 

If you have never tried white chili before, you are really missing out. While it isn’t as common as some other types of chili, it is worth trying before you completely rule it out. If you aren’t interested in making white chili to try it, consider going to a chili cook off or chili festival where you can sample it free of charge.

Chinese food is a great way to expand your personal recipe book, especially if you love to use simple, fresh ingredients with quick cooking time. These top ten dishes are famous all over the world, and are must-haves in your collection of Chinese food recipes.

Fried Rice - A must have dish in Chinese restaurants, fried rice is the ultimate Chinese food, and can be one of the most flexible in your cookbook because you can use leftover rice and ingredients to make it.  Of course, you can use fresh ingredients but it’s best to use rice that has been kept in the fridge overnight for best results. Ingredients usually involved in making fried rice are eggs, scallions, diced meat of either beef, chicken or pork, ham, shrimps and vegetables such as celery, peas, carrots, bean sprouts and corn. There are many varieties of fried rice but the more popular ones are the Yangchow and Fujian fried rice.

Kung Pao Chicken - Kung Pao chicken or Kung Po chicken is a Chinese dish from Szechuan cuisine and is considered to be a delicacy. The recipe for this mouth watering dish commonly calls for diced chicken that is pre-seasoned and quickly stir-fried with unsalted roasted peanuts, red bell peppers, rice wine or sherry, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and chili peppers. Alternatively, you can use prawn, scallops, beef or pork in place of the chicken.

Moo Shu Pork - This is a dish of northern Chinese origin and a favorite of many. Ingredients in a Mu Xu pork recipe often include green cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, scrambled eggs, carrots, bean sprouts, day lily buds and scallions. Celery, onions, bell peppers, snow pea pods, bok choy and Shiitake mushrooms are occasionally used. The vegetables are cut into long and thin strips before cooking, with the exception for bean sprouts and day lily buds. Fried Mu Xu pork is then wrapped in moo shu pancakes that is brushed with hoisin sauce and eaten by hand. Moo shu pancakes are thin wrappers made of flour that is easily available in supermarkets and steamed just before eating.

General Tso’s Chicken - General Tso’s chicken is a Hunan dish that tastes spicy and sweet and very popular in Chinese restaurants in America and Canada where it’s often marked as a “chef’s specialty”.

Egg Rolls - Egg rolls are one of the most popular Chinese foods, and for good reason. This savory roll is made by wrapping a combination of chopped cabbage and meats and sometimes noodles in a sheet of dough. It is then dipped in egg and deep fried to perfection. Egg rolls are generally bigger in size  than its cousin spring roll, its skin is thicker and crunchier; and have more filling.

Orange Chicken - This appetizing  Chinese dish is made of chicken chopped into bite size pieces and battered, and then fried with thick sweet and spicy chili sauce flavored with orange. The traditionally Chinese recipe for orange peel chicken as it’s sometimes called, is to deep fry the chicken first and then stir fry it in a lightly sweet soy-based sauce flavored with dried orange peels. Vegetables like baby carrots and bok choy are used as the garnishing. However, cooks in Western restaurants do not use dried orange peel but rather orange juice or fresh orange peel and a substantial amount of sugar to make the sauce. Chili peppers and steamed broccoli are used as garnishing instead.

Sweet and Sour Pork - This savory-sweet famous Chinese dish is of Cantonese origin. It is a good dish to prepare when you are planning on having guests, who will be wildly impressed with your cooking skill. As with other Chinese food recipes, the key to making a great Sweet and Sour Pork dish is in the sauce made of sugar, ketchup, white vinegar, and soy sauce. Its ingredients include pork, onion, bell pepper and pineapple chopped into bite size pieces.

Mapo Dofu - Mapo doufu or Mapo tofu is a popular Chinese dish from the Szechuan province. Ingredients used for this recipe include tofu or beancurd, and minced beef or pork cooked in a bright red spicy sauce based on chili.

Chop Suey - Chop suey or “za sui” or “shap sui” literally means ‘mixed pieces’ is an American-Chinese dish usually employs leftover vegetables and meats stir fried quickly in a sauce thickened with starch. It is a great dish when you need to use up the last of yesterday’s chicken or pork roast and can incorporate meats of any kind such as pork, shrimp, beef, fish or chicken and various vegetables from bean sprouts to cabbage and celery.

A report just released by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology estimates 30 to 50 percent of Americans could be infected with swine flu this fall and winter.  The projection of deaths is 90,000, more than twice as many deaths than in a typical flu season.  Many of these deaths will be children and young adults.  This group seems particularly vulnerable to this new flu virus.  Swine flu is expected to resurge this September with the school year beginning and to peak in mid-October.  Unfortunately, the anticipated vaccine won’t be available until mid-October just when the flu season is expected to peak.  Add to this frightening scenario that flu vaccines usually take several weeks for the body to develop immunity.  The good news is we can start to build natural immunity now.

Viruses and bacteria attack the body everyday.  Did you ever notice how some people are always sick?  They have weakened immune systems.  Start now to boost the immune system to help fight the viruses and bacteria lurking out there to strike.  The best and natural way to do this is through certain foods.  Orange juice, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, beans, red meat, garlic and onions are great immune boosters.  One meal that is loaded with immune boosters is chili.  Make it today to build a healthier immune system.

 Chili

Serves 4

 

½ pound ground beef

1 onion, chopped

½ green pepper, sliced

½ red pepper, sliced

½ yellow pepper, sliced

½ orange pepper, sliced

1 large tomato, chopped

1 (10 oz.) can condensed tomato soup

1 can of water

1 teaspoon parsley

1 (15 oz.) can red kidney beans (do not drain)

 

Brown meat in large pan. Halfway through browning, add onions and continue browning for a couple of more minutes. Add peppers and cook for a couple of more minutes. Add tomato. Stir. Stir in soup and parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add undrained kidney beans. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Serve hot.

 

Beef is high in iron, B12, which helps make DNA and keeps nerve and red blood cells healthy, and zinc, a great immune booster.  Beef provides protein that repairs body cells, builds and repairs muscles and bones, and provides a source of energy.  Kidney beans, also an immune booster, are another good source of protein. Sweet bell peppers are truly the wonder food because they are packed with immune boosters, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.  Phytonutrients are called medicine of the future because of their incredible ability to fight diseases.

We call it fast food but we all eat it. And Wendy’s is one of our favorites.

Wendy’s is known for its square ground beef hamburgers and the Frosty, a form of soft serve ice cream.

The idea for Wendy’s Old Fashioned hamburgers was actually inspired by Dave Thomas’s trips to Kewpee Hamburgers in his home town of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Kewpee sold square hamburgers and thick malt shakes, much like the famous restaurant that Thomas eventually founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969. Thomas named the restaurant after his fourth child Melinda Lou “Wendy” Thomas.

And today they even serve nutritional meals for the diet conscious. Like Ultimate Chicken Grill with a Side Salad. Junior Hamburger Deluxe without mayonnaise with a Side Salad and fat-free dressing.  Large Chili with a Side Salad and fat-free dressing.  Plain Baked Potato and a small Chili…

>>> So if you want to prepare a delicious meal to impress family, friends or even a hot date - maybe someone you met on a romantic dating site - here are Wendy’s most popular recipes of all…

 

–Wendy’s Chicken Caesar Fresh Stuffed Pita–

4 pita breads

4 teaspoons shredded, fresh parmesan

>> Dressing:

1/2 cup water

1/8 teaspoon dry, unflavored gelatin

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

dash parsley

dash oregano

dash thyme

dash basil

1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons egg substitute

 >>Chicken

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

salt

pepper

>>Salad

6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1/4 cup red cabbage, shredded

1/4 cup carrot, shredded

1. Make the dressing by first dissolving the gelatin in the water. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for two minutes or until it begins to rapidly boil. Add the vinegar, then whisk while adding the oil. Add bell pepper, salt, garlic powder, worcestershire, black pepper, parsley, oregano, thyme and basil.

2. Let dressing cool for about 15 minutes before adding cheeses and egg substitute. Whisk until slightly thicker, then chill. Overnight refrigeration makes the dressing thicker. Preheat a barbecue or indoor grill to medium heat. Salt and pepper the chicken, then grill it for 5 minutes per side, or until done.

3.Remove chicken from the grill and dice it. While chicken cooks, prepare the salad by combining the romaine lettuce, red cabbage and shredded carrot in a large bowl and toss.

4. Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving each pita for 20 seconds. Fold each pita in half like a taco, then add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the romaine salad into the bread. Add about 1/3 cup of diced chicken on top of the salad in the pita.

Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each sandwich. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of shredded fresh parmesan on top of each one and serve.

 

–Wendy’s Old Fashioned Burger–

1 Sesame-seed hamburger bun

1/4 Pound Ground beef

1 d Salt

3 Dill pickle slices

1 Teaspoon Catsup

3 White onion ring slices

2 Tomato slices

1/4 Cup Chopped iceburg lettuce

1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise

1. Using waxed paper, form the 1/4 pound of beef into a 4-inch square patty. Refrigerate until you’re ready to cook.

2. Preheat a barbecue grill on high. Toast both halves of the bun, face down, in a hot skillet. 3. Lightly salt the hamburger patty and cook on the barbecue grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Build the burger in the following stacking order from the bottom up: bottom bun, hamburger patty, pickles, catsup, onion rings, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, top bun.

Details: If you’d like the classic Wendy’s double, cook two patties, and dress the bun the same. If adding cheese, use only real American cheese and place it on top of the dressed bun prior to adding the cooked beef. Double cheese? Do the same.

For Wendy’s classic bacon cheese burger, cook the burger and dress the bun as directed above. For the bacon, use Oscar-Mayer Ready-Made pre-cooked bacon. Simply microwave 2 slices for about 30 seconds, and add to your burger between the cheese and the beef patty.

 

–Wendy’s Original Frosty–

The Frosty was invented at Wendy’s owner Dave Thomas’ request by dairyman E.M. “Bill” Barker. The actual flavor of the original Frosty is a mixture of chocolate and vanilla. You can add M&M’s, Butterfinger Chips or Oreo Chips - whatever you desire.

One of the best ways to make a hot meal with beef is by using the slow cooker.  This is also one of the easier ways to cook beef as well because it does not require a lot of work on your part.  You simply have to prepare the ingredients and then let it cook while you go about your daily business.  One of my favorite meals to make in the slow cooker is chili.  This article will tell you exactly how to make great tasting chili in just a few simple steps.

First, you’ll need to gather the ingredients for making the chili.  The ingredients are as follows:

1 lb. ground beef

1 can (1 lb.) stewed tomatoes

1 can (15 1/2 oz.) chili beans

1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce

1 c. chopped onion

Pepper

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. salt

Once you have all the ingredients you can begin the process of getting it all together to be cooked.  The first step will be to brown the beef in a skillet and then drain the excess grease.  This will ensure that the beef is cooked thoroughly.   You’ll have to chop the onion if you haven’t already done so but once that is ready, you can combine the remaining ingredients together in your slow cooker.  If you wish you can mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the slow cooker.  When you have everything mixed together, you can add it to the cooker along with all of the other ingredients.

When you have combined all of the ingredients and placed them in the cooker, you can set the temperature to high and then cook the entire contents for about 8 hours.  The reason cooking this chili is so convenient is because if you have to work or leave the house for an extended period of time, you don’t have to worry about whether or not the meal is going to cook properly.  The slow cooking process allows you to cook the chili over the 8 hours without having to watch it.

When the chili has finished cooking, simply stir and serve once it has cooled enough.  Chili can also be served as leftovers, or if you prefer, you can freeze it and then reheat it when you want to have another chili meal.  If you’re looking for a simple meal that doesn’t take a lot of time to cook and tastes great at the same time, try out slow cooker chili.  You’ll be amazed at how great it tastes and your family will love it too.

Mustards today are being extensively used in the preparation of different recipes.  Infact mustard recipes have become very popular all over the world.  This popularity is not a present day phenomenon but since prehistoric times mustard has been popular.  Enamored by its tantalizing flavour and its medicinal properties people since ages have been using mustard. Infact it is said that mustards medicinal properties were discovered earlier and its culinary properties have been discovered only recently. Whatever the history might say but today unarguably mustard has established itself as an important ingredient in the preparation of recipes.  Mustard recipes both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarians can be cooked easily at home and can be enjoyed at many restaurants. Mustards can be used with sandwiches, with salads, with finger chips, with hot dogs, with meats and so on. Infact just think of a dish and you will find that mustard can become an ingredient to it. 

Mustards can be used for the preparation of recipes in different ways.  There are recipes from prepared mustards, recipes from mustard seeds and recipes from dry mustard and homemade mustard. The mustard seeds used for preparing recipes can either be partially crushed or ground or it can also be used as a whole. Some of the mustard recipes are  Chicken Wi,  Chicken Meatball Chili Soupngs, Crawfish Stuffed Artichokes Pacifica,  Barbecued Jerky, French Onion Sou, Pork Loin Steaks with Mushroom Stroganoff Saucep Gratinee (Soupe a L’Oignon Gratinee), Rhubarb Chutney, Warm Potato Salad with Beer Dressing,Curried, Tuna SpooksAcorn Squash and there are hundreds of other recipes prepared from mustard.  The only thing to keep in mind while preparing these recipes is that proper amount of water, vinegar and other ingredients should be added and the preparation should be kept at a particular temperature.  This will ensure great flavour and great color of the recipe. 

People often commit few blunders while preparing mustard recipes from liquid mustard because of which the original taste gets lost.  Mustard powder needs to be properly mixed with requisite amount of water and vinegar at appropriate temperature preferably the room temperature.  Paste should be properly prepared so that the heat and flavour develops adequately.  Addition of salt or vinegar is very much essentially as it helps in restoring the developed flavour and also helps in preventing the paste from getting spoiled. Air should be removed from the mixture as it may spoil the mustard paste and can also change the color of the paste.  Infact the flavour may also get lost due to extra air; this is why extra vinegar is added as it reduces the chances of mustard paste losing its flavour.  Once the paste is prepared it is essential that it should be properly kept in a container, fully covered for about 2-4 weeks.   This will enhance the color and taste of the mustard to a great extent.  Whereas the above procedure is true for making any recipes using liquid mustard but there might be slight variation in preparing some dishes such as hot dog using liquid mustard. Mustard recipes are really great; it has enchanted the food lovers which no other recipe has done till date.

Hamburgers

The name “hamburger” originated in Hamburg in Germany. These guys used to put a piece of roast pork into a roll, and serve it warm. This tradition was imported into America by German immigrants, and over time adapted until it became a very typical American dish. According to legend the first person in America to make hamburgers was a certain Charlie Nagreen of Seymour, Wisconsin. He flattened a meatball and placed it between two slices of bread, and the hamburger was born! There are various others claims to the title of “originator of the hamburger” though.

BBQ Baby Back Ribs

This started off during the latter part of the 1800s during cattle drives in the American West. The so-called “cowboys” were given very cheap cuts of meat, often so tough or stringy that it had to be cooked for hours before becoming soft enough to eat.

They started to cook this outside, over an open fire. The taste of the smoking wood gave it a very special taste, and once again a dish was born that become part of American culture. The addition of marinade or a basting sauce has further enhanced the taste and softness of ribs, and nowadays it is really something to die for!

Buffalo Chicken Wings

This is one dish for which we can claim with certainty that it originated in the United States. The then proprietors of the Anchor Bar (in Buffalo, New York) claim to be the first to prepare this dish way back in 1964.

What happened apparently is that the owner’s son and his friends arrived home unexpectedly late one night, and she couldn’t think of anything else but to deep-fry some chicken wings and afterwards dip them in a very hot sauce.

This proved to be so popular they they started serving them to customers. The end result is well known. Today we even have chain restaurants specializing in buffalo wings, and of course the National Buffalo Wing festival!

Chili “Con Carne” (Chili with meat)

There are of course also many places claiming to be the home of this mouth-watering dish. One of them is Baja California in Mexico. But the most widely accepted home of Chili Con Carne is San Antonio in Texas.

Texas style chili (the original version at least) contains no other vegetables - only chili. The meat always has to be beef, venison or other mature meats. Prime beef and veal will not work - it tends to simply fall apart.

Other variations on the basic recipe include the following: Pedernales river chili, Cincinnati style chili, New Orleans style chili, Vegetarian style chili, and chili hot dogs.

Pizza

Nobody will claim that Pizza originated in America. That was the privilege of Italy, or as some would have it even China. But America certainly perfected the Pizza.

There are too many varieties of pizza to discuss all of them in detail in this article. New York Style pizza is most likely the most traditional type. It is created in a pizza oven, and usually has a relatively thin crust. Chicago style pizza, or pan-fried-pizza has a thicker crust, and is cooked in a deep-fry pan. St Louis style pizza uses St Louisan Provel cheese instead of mozzarella.

American gourmet food recipes are in a class of their own. Some might call it junk food - others call it food made in heaven.
