For the 1/2 Hungarian blood in me:

Hungarian Goulash Soup

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 pound top round beef, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1-1/2 cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cans (14-1/2 oz. each) chicken broth, plus enough water to equal 8 cans
1 can (14 oz.) whole tomatoes drained and chopped, juice reserved
4 potatoes, peeled and grated
4 large carrots, diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and brown on all sides, 5 minutes. Transfer to plate with slotted spoon; set aside.
2. Add onions and garlic and cook, 5 minutes. Add beef, flour, and paprika; cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste until smooth. Add chicken broth and water, tomatoes, and reserved juice, potatoes, carrots, bay leaf, marjoram, caraway seeds, and pepper. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is just tender and vegetables are cooked through, 45 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Top each serving with sour cream. Makes 14 cups.

CHEERS!

Chicken Cordon Bleu

traditionally they are served flat, sort of a sandwich type.

I roll them and vary it a little

Take half of chicken breast, and butterfly it, careful not to cut all the way thru.
Pound them as flat as you can,
Make a mixture of flavored bread crumbs, flour and break up a bunch of Ritz crackers
into small pieces, mix all together
use standard egg wash
dip one side of chicken into crumbs
with that side down coat the inside with melted butter
In the supermarket you can get ham ends about half inch thick
I get the Virginian smoked ham , super good taste
Cut this into slightly larger julienne pieces
large block of good Swiss cheese sliced same way
position chicken so that the top would be a wing tip
place ham and cheese on chicken horizontally
coat with butter too
then roll up and one toothpick should hold it together
will be slightly larger than what an egg roll looks like
Put in fridge for however long
Prior to dinner, take the chicken and redip in egg and crumb mixture again
the deep fry to brown and then into over for baking
serve with your own homemade mushroom and onion gravy
Don’t forget to take the toothpicks out.

Well, Cleo!

That sounds yummy but not as yummy as this!  Of course, this is MY SECRET recipe so I'll have to kill you after you read this!  :D  :p

Big Surprise -

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened a bit
1 overflowing teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 3/4 - 3 cups all purpose flour
12 oz. package chocolate chips
Nuts if you want 'em

Mix sugars and butter at medium speed in large bowl until light and creamy.  (This takes a few minutes.)  

Add eggs and vanilla - be generous! and mix at medium speed until well blended.

Add salt and baking soda.  I sprinkle both evenly over the dough so they get mixed in thoroughly.  Nothing worse than a salty bite of cookie! :O Stir in at medium speed.

Next, mix in flour at low speed, 1/2 cup at a time until you get the consistency you prefer.  (I don't like runny or crunchy cookies. I like mine full bodied!  laugh.gif )

Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if you're in a nutty mood.

Drop teaspoon size globs of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.  This may vary depending on how your oven bakes and what type of cookie sheet you use. You may want to check after 8 minutes.

Let cool for a minute or two so you don't burn your tongue then scarf 'em down!  Don't forget, you can always lick your fingers as you go along and I won't tell if you eat the dough!

Okay, now that you have this top secret info, you must die!  ghostface.gif  laugh.gif

Big Better than Mrs. Field's Cookie Hugs,
Nef

Hey Cleo!

Well, to be perfectly honest, only 1 bag ever makes it into the cookies!  The other seems to disappear as if by magic!!! laugh.gif   It is a mystery!!! :D

Tee-hee!  Where do you think I came up with the name? Hey, I'm not that smart anymore!  :wink.gif:   I DO want to see the show, though!  It sounds very interesting!!!  Supposedly, I got my face bashed in and an arm cut off.  Wonder what I did to deserve it?  One too many limericks, perhaps?  :p

Well, I'll have to dig out my recipe for Fudge Ball Cookies.  I was just thinking about those.  Oh so chocolately rich and  :devil: ish!   It's not fair!  When I was young, I baked all the time and was skinny.  Now, that I'm a mommy, I never have time to bake and I'm fluffy.  Boo-hoo!  :(  (That's a pout, btw!) :D

Okay, then, Sunday, I'll bake some cookies and we'll have a Nefertiti Party at My place!  Bring your Steve Martin album and we'll Tut out!  :laugh:

Bug in a Rug Hug,
Nef

Another main dish favorite of mine (although NOT my own recipe):

Pork Tenderloin with Pear and Apple Chutney

Ingredients

2 large pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch
2 large Golden Delicious or Gala apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon applesauce
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 pounds pork tenderloin

Directions:

1. Make chutney: Place pears and apples in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Simmer over medium heat until fruit becomes soft but not tender, 5 minutes. Pour off the cooking liquid into a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in brown sugar. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat and cook down to a thick syrup, about 15 to 25 minutes. Stir the remaining ingredients into the pear-apple mixture. Add the syrup and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a thick consistency, about 30 minutes more. Cool chutney, then cover and refrigerate.
2. Meanwhile, grease a metal 13x9-inch baking pan. Heat oven to 400 degree F. Combine soy sauce, applesauce, and garlic in a cup. Rub evenly over tenderloin. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the tenderloin registers 155 degree F, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with chutney. Makes 6 servings.
Note: Do not leave your instant-read thermometer in your roast while it is in the oven.

Double-Chocolate Angel Cake angel.gif

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups egg whites (10 to 12 large), at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (no substitutes)
2 medium bananas, sliced
Shaved bittersweet chocolate, for garnish
Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish

Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to lowest third of oven. Heat oven to 350 degree F. In a large bowl sift together the confectioners' sugar, flour and cocoa 3 times; set aside.
2. Add cream of tartar and vanilla to the egg whites. Beat on medium-high speed in a mixer bowl until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add granulated sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
3. Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites; gently fold in with a rubber spatula just until blended. Repeat, folding in remaining flour mixture by fourths. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently run a long, thin knife or metal spatula through the batter to cut through air pockets.
4. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert cake (leave in the pan); cool thoroughly. run a sharp knife along the side of the pan and gently unmold. Remove cake from the pan.
5. To serve, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook banana slices 5 minutes or until browned, shaking pan occasionally. Cut cake into thick slices. Lay each slice on a warmed dessert plate. Spoon bananas over each slice. Top with shaved chocolate and dollop with whipped cream, if desired. Makes 10 servings.

Sweet Hungarian Palacsinta

Prep Time: 25 minutes Cooking Time: 4 minutes
Source: Better Homes and Gardens

Ingredients

1/2  cup sugar
1/4  cup ground walnuts
1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4  cup margarine or butter, softened
1/4  teaspoon salt
5   egg yolks
3/4  cup all-purpose flour
1/2  cup milk
1/2  teaspoon vanilla
5   egg whites
   
Directions:

1. Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar, the walnuts, and cinnamon; set aside. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the margarine or butter, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until thoroughly combined. Add egg yolks; beat well. Beat in flour. Add milk and vanilla; beat until well combined. Wash beaters thoroughly; beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Fold egg whites into batter, leaving a few puffs of egg white. Do not overbeat.

2. Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across surface. Reduce heat to medium-low. For each pancake, pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Spread batter into a circle about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Cook over medium-low heat until pancakes are golden brown, turning to cook second sides when pancake surfaces are bubbly and edges are slightly dry (about 2 to 3 minutes per side). Repeat with remaining batter, making 16 pancakes.

3. Carefully transfer 4 pancakes to a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle about 1-1/2 teaspoons of the walnut mixture onto each pancake.

"...We are born into the world like a blank canvas
and every person that crosses our path takes up the brush and makes their mark upon our surface.
So it is that we develop.
But we must realize there comes a day that we must take up the brush and finish the work. For only we can determine if we are to be just another painting or a masterpiece..."

1981 Javan (from the book " Meet Me Halfway" )
