recipe exchange

I got it from sraun here.

The Rules

Share a recipe with your friends list. It should be something quick and easy and without rare ingredients; ideally, it should be something you already know by heart because you've made it often enough. If you're comfortable doing so, post public.

Post a link to the entry where you ran into the meme.

In the comments to the entry where you ran into the meme, share your recipe and link to the entry where you share it with your friends list.

Invite your friends to share their quick and easy recipes.

Explore the recipes posted in the comments to your friends' journals as well as those in your own.

Here are two:

Gumbo-like Substance (there is no roux involved and it's cooked in a crockpot, therefore it's not "Real Gumbo" -- however, it's tasty and very easy)

Layer the following into a crockpot:

12 oz. cooked breakfast sausage links, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups raw chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cups frozen sliced okra
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
a few red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
1 16-oz. can diced tomatoes

Stir slightly to mix. Plug the crockpot in, turn it on low, leave it all day. Serve with rice.

And for dessert:

Soldiers Fudge (so named because it could be and was made during WWII sugar rationing to be shipped to soldiers overseas)

1 12-oz. bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 1-oz. square unsweetened chocolate
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
1 tsp. vanilla

Soften the unsweetened chocolate in the microwave. Add it to the chips and the milk in a 2 quart saucepan. Melt and mix everything over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in vanilla. Scrape into a buttered 8"x8" square pan. Chill until firm, cut into 1" squares. It doesn't have to be chilled after that.

Enjoy!
