More deets on the buffalo mac and cheese, please!


Second time I have made this recipe. Rave reviews both times. I used a whole (small) rotisserie chicken which ended up being more like 4-5 cups of shredded chicken. Added about double the mount of Franks hot sauce as well to balance it out. :)

Recipe is here:

Buffalo Mac & Cheese
 
Peyton Manning's coming for dinner. So it's chicken parm (you taste so good…).
 
My Sister in Law is from Mexico City, and she cooked Bry and I dinner last night: real Mexican enchiladas with cactus salad, with all the fixings.

Heaven! I would have taken pictures, but we darn near inhaled that stuff! Spicy amazingness.
 
Just remember, grilled Tuna is meant to be served pretty darn rare. It is very easy to over cook it.

Looking for ideas...

How about some Lebanese?

Spit roasted meat in a fresh pita with garlicky lemon sauce? Served with a side of Tabbouleh and pickled wild cucumbers. Yum! We're got a place down the street that makes it and it is to die for :) and I've been meaning to give it a go.

Mmm, sounds good. Now you've got me thinking gyros.

But the plan is already in motion. 1 inch thick, bone-in pork chops. I have them in a brine with a little garlic, onion, orange zest, brown sugar and cracked black pepper. They'll go on the grill a little later and we'll add asparagus, yellow squash and some brown and wild rice.
 
Try this...

How about grilled pork tenderloin (marinaded in a mix of olive oil and old bay seasoning), Rice pilaf (uncle ben's) and fresh grilled asparagus...

simple, easy, only 1 pot (other than the grill) and very tasty!

Here you go, John. The only tenderloins at the store were Smithfield (which I refuse to buy for a couple reasons) and an 'organic' tenderloin that was $15/lb. I passed and went with the chops.

Looks great BB!!!

ok, so your next dish, try veal shanks!

I take a cast iron pot, and brown the shanks (4 of them) in 1 tbsp of butter and a touch of olive oil, remove the meat and add 1 med diced onion and 1 large diced shallot. Sautee and then add 2 lbs of sliced mushrooms. Sautee and then add back the meat. Add 1 can of chicken stock, and the same amount of white wine. put into a 250 degree oven for 3 hours until meat is falling apart. yum!
 
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken!

The whole house smells good enough to eat! Served with some avocado slices, black beans and maybe a glass or two of Pacific Quartet! LOL

Did you throw those tortillas on the stove burner? :) Tacos look awesome.

Tonight was kebabs. I hate cooking kebabs. They are labor intensive, and its hard to get everything cooked just right. But my bride loves them and I have to indulge her every so often. ;) Chicken, zukes, red pepper and onion marinated in "Soy Vey". I added some sesame oil and a little fresh orange juice. Grilled them up on my little Weber 'Q'.

Here they are, waiting for the grill to warm up:



About a third of the way through the cook:



Done and resting while I cook up some organic Ramen noodles:



And finally, on the platter and ready for serving:

 
kabobs

Going from the sweet, salty flavors of the orient last night to the savory, mediterranean style of the Greek isles tonight. Greek chicken pitas on the menu. I sliced some BSB's in half so they'd be thinner. Marinated in some canola, lemon juice, lemon zest, Cavender's Greek seasoning and onion for about 2 hours.

On the grill with some red onion slices:



All cooked up and ready:



Whole wheat pita assembled with home made tzatziki, grilled onion, feta, lettuce and tomato.



Happy Hump Day!!!
