Cooking Army

It was a small showing tonight, but that’s ok, it was a beautiful night out! Disappearing Pork Marinade 1 cup fresh orange juice 6 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 6 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 3 Tbsp. molasses 3 Tbsp. minced garlic 6 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each Rub 6 tsp chili powder 3 tsp cracked […]

As opposed to last week’s vegetarian dishes, we went with all pork. And it was all really good! Collard Greens – http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1750,134176-246199,00.html We’ve done this one before and they turned out appropriately spicy, but not crying spicy. Ham with Honey and Brown Sugar Glaze – http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Ham-with-Honey-and-Brown-Sugar-Glaze/Detail.aspx The ham we used already had maple glaze (oops!), […]

We tried JP’s vegetarian food this week and it was ok, then again, I was ill, so I didn’t get to sample any of it firsthand. Hippie Loaf – http://happyherbivore.com/recipe/hippie-loaf-gluten-free/ Needed more garlic and wasn’t that great. Applesauce Biscuits – http://happyherbivore.com/recipe/applesauce-biscuits/ Terrible. Lets not do this one again. Cajun Chickpea Cakes – http://happyherbivore.com/recipe/cajun-chickpea-cakes/ No one […]

This week was breakfast food: sausages, pancakes, n’ biscuits! Sausage – http://cookieandclaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/cooking-breakfast-sausage-in-oven.html This was damn good sausage. Jeremy also collected about half a tomato sauce jar worth of grease from it. Roasted vegetable frittata (doubled) We roasted the veggies the night before. We’ll need to make two frittata’s rather than trying to double it. 2 […]

We didn’t BBQ this one and just oven baked everything and it turned out pretty good anyway. Shoyu Chicken – http://allrecipes.com/recipe/shoyu-chicken/detail.aspx Still a group favorite. Damn tasty. Sesame Crusted Mahi Mahi – http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sesame-crusted-mahi-mahi-with-soy-shiso-ginger-butter-sauce/detail.aspx This probably took the longest, but they turned out pretty good with just the right amount of bake time (15 min). Manapua […]

We had our first hospitalized troop this week. It’s actually impressive we’ve been doing Cooking Army for six and a half years and this is our first purple heart. But potato peeling? Really? Why can’t JP just get shrapnel to the ass like everyone else? Schnitzel (chicken and pork) For this, we didn’t really have […]

Had a damn good showing, 17 people for this one! Woo! Shredded Beef Tacos: http://gimmesomeoven.com/slow-cooker-shredded-beef-tacos/ These were pretty standard tacos, still pretty tasty though. Chorizo and Cheese stuffed Poblano Peppers: http://www.food.com/recipe/spicy-chorizo-stuffed-poblano-peppers-with-cheese-474914 These were awesome. Dripping with cheese… It’s too bad we only made a couple. Tilapia Ceviche: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/tilapia-ceviche-recipe/index.html This was the gold star of the […]

This cooking army turned out pretty well, with a new staple being chosen! Roasted Figs & Prosciutto 20 large fresh rig figs 20 thin slices prosciutto (about 8 ounces) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small […]

Our proportions for this cooking army didn’t work out so well, but everything ended up tasting pretty good. Norwegian Sweet Soup Recipe: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wgnorway/recipe.html#Norwegian%20Sweet%20Soup You do NOT need to multiply this by any stretch of the imagination. The servings were huge! This ended up being pretty tasty, but there’s a significant divergence on who likes tapioca […]

We had a great showing at this event and we actually ate nearly all the food… This is always one of our best events of the year and we eagerly await each one. On with the recipes! Prime Rib Recipe: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Beef/ClassicPrimeRib.htm Best item of the night, Jeremy went all out and cooked this all day […]
