I found a really interesting recipe for linguini and clam sauce. I was wondering though, would it be ok to use half the recommended amount of butter and add a heavy creme to to the sauce? I seem to think it would make the sauce even more hearty and creamier.
Thanx for the feedback !

Hi everybody! With all of these good recipes floating around, I would like to take a moment to ask if anyone has any good whole grain recipes they would like to share?

My wife and I have had an interest in completely integrating whole grains into our diet for some time. We have decided to pretty much eliminate refined foods from our diets and are working to convert many of our recipes to whole grain. We have quiet a few already, and we decided to create a website to kind of parallel our efforts. It is only a couple of weeks old, and I've spent most of the time developing and testing the functionality. Now we plan to build the recipe database.

It's a non-commercial site that includes a recipe book and a forum to discuss whole grain cooking. We hope to build a community of people with similar interests to share recipes and exchange ideas. If anyone has a recipe they would like to share, please go to www.wholegraingourmet.com, create an account, and submit it.

I would be very grateful for your efforts.

Happy New Year, and Aloha!

Tuna steaks are great for grilling and don't require a lot of prep work. Keep it simple and you won't go wrong. There are a lot of fish marinades out there if you chose to use one. I like to use just some Tony's, black pepper, garlic powder and some melted butter.

I call it chicken fricase but it may be something else entirely.

Take a whole cut up chicken or about a pound and a half of boneless skinless chicken.
season with salt and pepper(don't be shy).

cut up some gahlic. a head should do it.

Heat up a pan thats big enough to put all of your chicken and a decent amount of gravy when finished together.

Coat your chicken in flour and slightly brown it on both sides in butter using about a 3rd of your garlic in the process. And at least a half o stick of butter.

Now I don't have exact measurments here but you can figure it out.

After chicken is browned on both sides add some water until you think it would make enough gravy to serve over noodles and chicken for whoever is eating

Bring to a slight boil and stir in some more flour to thicken gravy.

After you get your gravy to a slightly thinner consistency than your liking add the rest of your garlic and the other half of the butter stick.

Maybe a little more salt and pepper to your taste and cook for 30 mins to an hour on med low/simmer type of heat covered depending on your desired falling of the bonedness of your chicken. With a lower heat for a longer cook time.

Stir every about every 10 or 15 mins.

Serve over boiled eggnoodles with the veggie of your choice.

I prefer it with some green beans thrown together with pepper and onions and a lil garlic/butter in a skillet or small frying pan whatever.

Goes good with stomach acid.

Awesome Home Fries ... For Breakfast or along side your steak...

Red Potatoes
Paprika
Oregano
Garlic
Onion
Bell pepper
Jalaleno pepper(optional)
Olive oil

Boil or Microwave the patotes till slightly under cooked (3 potatoes a serving is about right depending on size)

Chop the Peppers onions and garlic into small bits

Cut the potatoes into about 1" x 1" peices...

coat the bottom of a frying pan with about 1/8th inch of olive oil..

add the potatoes and immediatly coat them with paprika .. be generous .. then add the oregano (about a 1/2 teaspoon per 3 potatoes give or take)

let it cook for about 1 min constantly turning and mixing...

add the chopped peppers onions and garlic.... continue to turn the potatoes untill the oil is gone and the potatoes begin to brown from the heat.... they will already be a dark red color from the paprika... but you are looking for that crispy brown coating...

Garnish with a sprinkle of oregano... (just looks cool with the green)

Enjoy..
