Serious Eats: robin170's Profile

Tom Collins is my favourite drink and has been for some time ... again, I too get funny looks as a twenty-something gal. But then again I've been known to order campari as well ...

Dinner Tonight: Kale-Flecked Mashed Potatoes

In Ireland it's called colcannon (minus the parmesan), and sometimes made with cabbage instead of kale. Here in Scotland we have a variation called rumple-de-thumps, which is potatoes 'flecked' with cabbage or kale, broccoli and cheese. Perfect for cold wet nights!

I did, actually. I put sugar and all kinds of other stuff in one of my mother's nice bowls about 25 years ago. Microwaved it. It set...pretty hard. I think it was hard candy, but I had to throw the bowl away pretty quickly after that. Whoops.

I cook up whatever fresh vegetables I have (brocolli, sweet peppers, onions, and mushrooms are often in the mix) as well as pototoes cut in chunks. The micorwave is fine for that part. Then i mix them all together in a wok with a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. No name for it, but the family likes it.

I am a creative cook, always coming up with something different. I made a dish with Rice A Roni, hamburger, tomato sauce and mozarella cheese- I am Italian, so you must have the cheese!

I "invent" almost every time I cook. I often change, modify, or re-arrange recipes depending on what I have available - (waste not want not). Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Well, my 'recipe' is more of a combination of things, but my DH and I find it rather yummy. It's 'name' is called (sorry folks, so not appetizing) "Fartblossoms!" LOL

I make a recipe of Manwich Bold with ground beef. Then I mix it with a couple of cans of pork and beans or baked beans, a little molasses, a little Worcestershire sauce and a little Coleman's dry mustard, some Hormel bacon bits. Cook on the stove or in a crockpot til it is nice and thick. Serve with Frito Scoops.

I originally came up with the recipe when I had leftover Manwich and leftover baked beans and I mixed them together.

This is also my much-requested Baked Bean recipe...when I carry it to potlucks or picnics, I use my antique bean pot as a serving vessel.

Yummy Yummy...It is SO good!

I am not much of an inventor, but I do like to play with recipes, and add spices and hot sauce to almost everything. Thanks for the contest.

I like to use existing recipes and change them to make them my own. For instance, I started with a basic alfredo recipe and jazzed it up. The only dish I invented from scratch was a sweet balsamic spinach bacon salad which is a meal in itself!

As a kid I would spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and sprinkle chocolate chips on another and place both under the toaster oven to toast then press them together to form a sandwich.
