It was my wife's birthday on Saturday so I made her as many things that she likes as I could. I started with some bread. Garlic thyme bread to be exact. Here are the ingredients.
After a bit of work I had this.
Then I made some pasta dough
Here it is
She likes to eat healthy so I made a turkey mushroom filling for my ravioli. I seasoned up the turkey and left it in the fridge for a while.
chopped up some mushrooms and garlic and mixed them in with the turkey, put them into a pan and on to the Traeger along with my bread.
While that was working I rolled out my pasta and added some basil leaves
Turkey is cooked and cooling.
Bread is ready.
A bit of ricotta and Parm to finish out my filling.
Ravioli stuffed and getting closer.
There we go. Ready for the pot.
Got the ravioli cooked and added some mushroom marinara I made the night before.
It made for a tasty lunch and a happy missus. Thanks for looking guys.
Go Ravens!
The wife wanted flank steak fajitas so that's what she got.
I marinated the flank steak for several hours in a new marinade she found.
Got some veggies ready for the MAK griddle.
Next I got some beans and cheese ready for the smoker.
With the griddle in place and the MAK heated up burning oak pellets its time to cook.
Next I put some tortillas in the warming drawer to pick up some smokey goodness.
Veggies are done and the flank steak is only minutes away from being done at this point.
Beans are ready and the steak is done..lets slice it up!
And voila! Plated up.
I can eat fajitas everyday! Mexican is my favorite. The seasoning marinade was pretty good and the steak was perfectly cooked.
Overall the meal was a home run! It was quick and easy and I didn't have to stand in the frigid temps too long.
Okay, this is a very old recipe in my family. I have never heard of it / seen it anywhere else, but my family has been making this since I was a kid (just a couple of years ago). This will be my first try on the grill and I am thinking it is going to be awesome! We call it “Egg Bake” and it goes like this:
The participants…
8 – 10 eggs
3 cans cream chicken soup
¾ soup can milk
2/3 lb Monterey jack cheese
1 table mustard
½ onion chopped
Mix the soup, milk, mustard, and onion in a sauce pan. Cube the cheese and send it in for a swim. Bring the mixture to a simmer to melt the cheese and get everything creamy
Pour half of the mixture in the bottom of a baking dish
Add the eggs regularly spaced..
Pour the rest of the mixture in around the eggs
Onto the Memphis at 290 for about 80 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked
Toast an English muffin and lay on a plate open face – one egg per ½ muffin and plenty of souce
And here is the money shot…
Mrs. Kite and I were starving!! Don’t tell anyone, but she and I finished the whole pan by ourselves!
I have made this dish way more times than I can count – I generally make it when I have overnight company. It is ALWAYS a major hit!!!
It has been a while... Lots has been going on, it has been way on the cold side, and the my doc put me on a harsh diet so I haven't been using the MAK as much.
But had to have some snacks for the game today. I ended up making healthier versions of my game day favorites.
I used just one egg for a binder on these... So I put the mix in little cups and popped them in the freezer for a bit to give them some form View attachment 1957
Third Place Wneill20 and his Thai Pork and Shrimp. Those flavors looked like they were made for each other. Very Nice!
Second Place SoupyJones and his Fresh Bread and Turkey Ravioli. Making freash bread is tough enough but also fresh pasta for your ravioli took this over the top. Looks deliscous!
First Place Chilihead and his Steak Fajitas. What can I say, one of my favorite dishs and yours was prepared to perfection. That steak looked unbelievable! Well Done!!
