Recipes (well, sort of):

Pan fried gnocchi:
1 package pancetta (or any other pork)
One half large onion, chopped
One bell pepper, chopped
One package (gluten free) gnocchi
Some rosemary
Some olive oil (unless using bacon or pork with decent amount fat)

Cut the pancetta in half. Put half of this in skillet on medium-high heat with onion and pepper and oil as needed.

Pull out pancetta at some point, let the onions/pepper get to deliciously caramelized. Add rosemary about this time.

Once your gnocchi is done boiling, drain and add to the skillet. Add rest of pancetta, make certain there's enough oil, flip it about 2 minutes in, and remove within five minutes.

Waffle iron hashbrowns:

Tater tots
Waffle iron

Get out of waffle iron. Add frozen tater tots to your waffle iron. Keep it pressed down long enough for everything to cook and meld together. You want it crispy-crunchy. Takes about six minutes.

First few times I tried collards I was mystified: why did people rave about these greens? Now I love them. They're substantial and gratifying with a nice tooth. The key insight was: ditch the ribs, slice thin, plenty of oil, cook 'em slow and long.
( This makes enough for two people as a side dish )

Veg*ns use olive oil plus a medium diced onion instead of the bacon: sweat them on low for a long time so the onions get sweet and fragrant. Add more olive oil before you add the collards.

I was on Facebook tonight and noticed a friend's post. Her fiance wanted her to make him a bacon cheesecake and she was freaking out. EWWW was her response. But it got me thinking. The problem wasn't with his request but her preconceptions on what a cheesecake is. (ie: dessert only.) So I went googling and found the following recipe which I shared with her. It is an appetizer but is definitely a cheesecake. I would serve this in thin slivers with a selection of good hearty breads and crackers.

Apple Blue Cheese Bacon Cheesecake

This unusual savory cheesecake is rich from Parmesan, blue cheese, and cream cheese. The sweet apples and salty bacon are a nice counterpoint to the richness of the cheese. The method requires long slow baking, so plan ahead. As you can tell, this is not a dessert, but an appetizer fit for the finest party.

I love the name of this community! And that's the sort of foodie I am- I like nom-a-licious food, simple, tasty, and definitely delicious. I am as big a kitchen geek as I am a food and computer geek, and am actively working on combining my interests. That involves loading my little Netbook with recipes, then slipping it into a vented 2-gallon ziplock bag and putting it on the counter to consult as I cook. Can't be ruining the Lenovo with flying batter or grease!

Here's a recipe I just tried (and absolutely adore!) to serve as an intro. I picked it up at my favorite Most Dangerous Store- Williams Sonoma. I swoop through there regularly to gather recipe cards, get great sauces, and drool over the Le Creuset and Shun knives. So many goodies, such a small budget...
