No Measurements Falling Apart Tender Chuck Roast Recipe

I found a Chuck Roast on Sale so I thought I’d give it a try. (It weighted 2.12 pounds) It also came rubbed with salt, pepper, and garlic. (preheat oven to 275F)

I sliced up three onions.

grated 8 garlic cloves

sliced up two carrots

On the side I had a bowl and added filtered water.

To the water I mixed in a small can of tomato paste and added a heaping spoon of

Better Than Bouillon Brand Chipotle Soup base and mixed it up.

I poured it over the meat and vegetables in the pan till it was about 1 1/2 inches from the top of pan.

Than I covered the pan with foil.

I checked on it after 4 hours and it wasn’t done yet.

I check on it after 5 hours and much better but not tender as I wanted.

So I let it go 6 and 1/2 hours and this time I think it”s perfect.

It’s delicious and falling apart perfect and flavorful.

Got lots of Happy mouths here! Latter to serve I mixed in small pasta shells and sweet charred roasted corn kernels to serve and it was very delicious.

ENJOY!!!!

FORKING Amazing Chocolate Truffles Recipe

I was gifted with a bunch of Gavottes Crispy Crepe Biscuits so I wanted to make them into something special. I know about no bake cookies. I also know about Kadorei Shokolad cookies, I also know how to make both recipes much better. Somehow I turned the Crispy Crepe Biscuits into FORKING AMAZING Chocolate Truffles. This is very easy and anybody can make these. All you do is melt butter and chocolate and mix the ingredients into it. They need to soak a little and firm up slightly. The embellishments are up to you!

Recipe for around 20 truffles

8 oz crispy crepe biscuits – crushed

10 oz unsalted butter – melted

6 oz chocolate chips (melted with the butter) + optional more for embellishments

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons vanilia extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon course sea salt

Embellishments

optimal – coconut shreds

optimal – crushed sweetened nuts

optimal – sprinkles

optional – sugars

optional – chocolate shreds

optional – chocolate drizzle

EASY just mix the ingredients together. Let sit 20-30 minutes. Scoop into small meatball sized balls and don’t worry if not perfect because they will stick together better on the next rolling. Roll into embellishments of choice. Refrigerate. (I did chocolate chips crushed, a few chocolate sprinkles, red sugar, and chocolate drizzle)

These came out really FORKING Amazing. My husband usually doesn’t even like sweets but said, that he could eat all of them.

FORKING Amazing Chocolate Truffles

For serving I’d suggest pulling them out of the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.

FORKING Great Fried Chicken Breast Recipe

We can thank Albertson’s for this because I was buying chicken breasts on sale and they had a limit of 8 pounds. They would only sell me 7.5 pounds. I fit all I could into my Sous Vide and had one big breast left so I thought I would fry it. I think this recipe will coat two large chicken breasts because I did one and had extra. First the chicken gets pounded and marinated for two hours.

Marinate for two hours –

one or two breast of chicken pounded and rubbed with about 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning (My mix is – I Tablespoon each c- ourse sea salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, fennel seeds, 1+1/2 teaspoon each of granulated onion, granulated garlic)

1 can coconut milk

1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

2 teaspoons Bomba (Italian chili paste condiment)

1/2 teaspoon course sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

This goes in a Zip Lock Bag with the air squeezed out in your refrigerator for 2 hours.

Make flour coating

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 cu flour

1+1/2 teaspoon course sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1+1/2 teaspoon paprika

mix together

After two hours pull out the chicken and shake off all the liquid that you can and discard liquid.

Pat the flour mixture as much as you can on both sides of the chicken.

Put on a fry pan on medium-high heat with canola oil enough to cover a little more than 1/2 of the chicken.

Fry on both sides – You need 165F to be safe.

It’s super moist and extra juicy. It’s also crispy and tasty.

Lox Recipe

I read a few lox recipes and found that lox is something that anyone can make. All it is – is salmon (preferably sushi grade) salt and sugar. You put the fish in salt and sugar for 2-3 days.

Here’s my slightly embellished recipe.

1 lb salmon (preferably sushi grade) – rinse and blot dry

2 cups sugar

2 cups course kosher salt

1 teaspoon crushed pink peppercorns

2 teaspoons dried dill

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Mix the salt, sugar, peppercorns, dill, and lemon zest together.

Get a ziplock bag and sandwich the salt and sugar mixture around the salmon.

Get all the air out and place in a bowl (I used the tape from my salmon package but that isn’t necessary.

Then place another heavy bowl over it.

About three days in the refrigerator

Pull off the skin and slice up and serve

While you are waiting for the lox to cure you might have the to make the mini bagels.

FORKING AMAZING MINI Bagel Recipe

I make pizza dough often and bagel dough is similar but heavier with an added secret ingredient (malt flour) You also need a stand mixer to make this dough. I thought this would come out best making the dough day one and boiling and baking the bagels day two. I don’t mean to brag but these bagels really did come out FORKING AMAZING. At the moment they are the best bagels me or my husband has tasted in all of Vegas and in all of the Phoenix area.

Ingredient for up to 50 mini bagels

Dough

2 3/4 cup 110F filtered water

2 Tablespoons honey

1 pack dry active yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

1 teaspoon sugar

6 3/4 cups bread flour

2 Tablespoon course sea salt

2 Tablespoons malt flour

Boiling water to start the cooking process for the bagels

add 2 Tablespoons honey

2 Tablespoons baking soda

Bagel toppings –

You also need to add sesame seeds

Poppy seeds

Everything bagel mix

non stick spray

Two day directions

Have your 110F water ready in a tub or bowl. Add the sugar, 2 T. honey and the yeast to that water and mix well and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. It need about ten minutes to make a foamy top.

In your mixer add the flour, malt flour, and salt. Use dough hook.

After water is foamy then you can add it to the flours.

The directions for my Kitchen Aid Mixer say not to use above speed number two with the dough hook so I did mine on speed number 2 for ten minutes. Depending on your brand of flour the recipe can be up to two tablespoons light or heavy with the flour or water. YOU NEED to look at the dough and decide it it needs slightly more water or more flour. The dough needs to stick together and pull away from the bowl.

Put the dough in a tub(s) or Bowl (s) and cover with lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate over night.

DAY TWO

Cut the dough in quarters. Start with one quarter and roll it as long as your cutting board. Then cut that dough in half longways so you have two long thinner doughs and roll it smooth.

You need a couple sheet pans sprayed lightly with non stick spray.

For mini bagels you need to wrap dough around two fingers.

Then squish the ends into the dough.

Keep going.

Now you need your boiling water with the baking soda and honey added.

You also need your bagel toppings set up.

Pan of sesame seeds

Pan of poppy seeds

Pan of everything bagel mix

You also need to set your oven on air fry.

I boiled the bagels only maybe two minutes after they floated

Then they got dipped on both sides with seeds and back on the sprayed sheet pans t

They went in my oven set at air fry for only 10 minutes.

My first ones I made too small and were super mini. These I only wrapped around one finger.

Not perfect but they taste amazing.

Did a bit better with my 2nd batch with the dough wrapped around two fingers.

I also figured out a lox recipe to publish soon.

My Trip to Featherblade Craft Butcher North – Las Vegas NV

Featherblade Craft Butcher recently opened in Centennial Hills. I’ve heard good things about their Summerlin location so when this butcher shop opened closer to me I thought I had to give it a try. It looks like your typical Butcher Shop inside. Different cuts and types of meat to pick from. They also sell various seasoning blends, snacks, soaps, frozen meats, and a bit more.

Decided on two filet mignons for dinner.

We’ll see how it goes. My husband cooked the filet.

It lookalike it was cooked nice. To be honest it doesn’t have much beef flavor. My husband said, “That’s because it is a Filet Mignon and they never have much flavor” – so ? Guess we will have to try something different next time.

That was my trip to Featherblade North.
