    I'm known for two main things. My lasagna - i make a tomato and roasted red pepper sauce that I usually simmer for a good two days. I make so many of these in a year for people who order them from me (I do catering part time) that I can make the sauce in my sleep.

    Also my ribs. I like to slow cook them with a bit of smoke and they are just delicious.

    I am known for my roasted chicken and chicken cutlets, also Fettuccine Alfredo. I add ricotta cheese to the sauce.

    I'm not too much of a cook, mostly due to little practice, but I'm known well for at least two things. My chili - which I like to brag won a chili cook-off at work, and a fresh apple cake - which is the only thing in the world that I know how to make from scratch.

    Sure, will do! Just have to wait until I get home to grab a copy of it! :) It's honestly nothing fancy, just something I came across the internet awhile back - it's got a great flavor, I think. Though, I do tinker a bit with the spices.

    I'm not really known for recipes other than stuff my children particularly like.
    Those dishes are:

    sherry chicken (this was actually my mom's recipe)
    collard greens
    cornbread
    minestrone
    breakfast :)
    "chocolate lover's" cookies
    key lime pie

    Ok Borla was kind enough to point me to this thread. It didn't show up in the search but I'd like to see more of your recipes and step-by-steps for those of us who aren't exactly great in the kitchen. :)

    I believe I've posted it before, but I'm going to throw my rib recipe in here too:

    Spicy Memphis style rub:
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    3 tbl paprika
    2 tbl black pepper
    1 tbl celery salt
    1 tbl onion powder
    2 tsp garlic powder
    2 tsp mustard powder
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp chipolte pepper powder

    I make that rub, mixing it up well. I like using baby back ribs, but any style will do. I usually try to peel off the membranes on the bottom, but if you are going to smoke them, that's not necessary. If you are doing them in the oven, I recommend it. Also, with many pork rubs, you want to be careful about how long let leave the rub on before cooking. I personally think that if you do it overnight, or for many hours, it can give the ribs a ham like taste instead of the flavor you want. So I've started rubbing my ribs literally minutes before it's time to smoke them. However, I do recommend taking your ribs out of the fridge several hours before cooking. It makes a big difference if the meat has warmed up properly. Apply the rub to both sides of the ribs. On a large rack I usually apply about 2 tablespoons each to the top and bottom sides. Much more than that and the ribs can have a gritty texture when you eat them. Then, I smoke them for at least 3 hours at about 225*, preferably over a mix of hardwood lump charcoal and cherry wood (apple, pecan, or peach works too). Halfway through I flip them around. After at least 3 hours, I quickly pull them off and wrap them in foil. I prefer the big commercial rolls of foil because they are wide enough to lay the ribs in and fold over without using two pieces. Then I throw the ribs back on the smoker for at least two more hours. If the racks are especially big, or I have a lot of them going at once, I'll leave them in this stage for as much as 3-3.5 more hours. Then I pull them again and douse them with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, rewrap them in foil, and throw them back on for another 45-60 mins.

    At this stage you can pull the ribs, let them rest 10 mins or so, and eat. However, if you are brave and/or skilled, and have a grill that will accomodate quick temp changes without taking more than 3-5 mins, I recommend one final step. I crank the grill up to 450-500*, pull the racks of ribs out of the foil one by one, and grill them for 90 seconds or so on each side. This carmalizes the sauce without burning it, and gives them an extra wrinkle on the flavor that I love. However, if you don't have a grill that can quickly change temp from 225* to 500*, just skip that step and you'll be fine. :cool:

    Like mixedmedia, my husband and son have favorites that they enjoy, but I don't do enough entertaining or go to enough functions to be known for anything - that and I've only really started cooking in the past two years. Probably the only thing I'm really known for is my sweet potatoes - I bring them every Thanksgiving at the request of my dad and step sister. Every Thanksgiving there are new people at dinner, and the new people usually compliment the dish. They're very easy:

    5 or 6 sweet potatoes (the red ones, not the yellow ones)
    1 large can chunk pineapple, well drained
    butter to taste
    brown sugar to taste
    cinnamon to taste

    Wash potatoes and wrap in foil. Bake until soft (1 hour on 375 for long skinny ones). Unwrap once cool enough to not burn your fingers, but still warm. Peel the skins off; they come off easily but are very sticky. Mash. Once mashed, add butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I don't have exact measurements, I'd guess 1/4 cup each on the sugar and butter might be a good starting point, and 1 tsp cinnamon. I usually add a tsp of vanilla as well. Once the potatoes are rich and sweet to your liking, add the pineapple. People usually think these are weird because they're mashed, have pineapple, and are not covered in marshmallow, but people who like sweet potatoes usually enjoy them.

    When I see my mother, she asks me to make tuna noodle casserole. It's something I learned how to make fairly on in life--when Dad traveled, Mom and I would make tuna noodle casserole for ourselves, and my brother would get a frozen pizza. I haven't made it regularly in years, though, so I don't quite remember all of the details. Egg noodles, bechamel, tuna fish, cheddar cheese, peas. The kicker is the seasoned bread crumbs that go on the top. Use panko bread crumbs. Put a tablespoon or so of butter in a saute pan and melt it. Add some minced garlic. Add the breadcrumbs, and toss them around with the butter and garlic. Cook them until toasty and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (the last ingredient is key). Don't forget to season the bechamel with nutmeg, either. Top the assembled casserole with this mixture and bake until bubbly. These seasoned breadcrumbs also make macaroni and cheese out of this world.

    Borla and his pork carnage thread has inspired me to attempt some smoked pork on the infrared grill. I'm going to use his advice and other advice and attempt it (hopefully) this weekend. I'll post pics and results if it happens.

    Looks like I'm gonna have to push the smoked pork to next weekend. Totally forgot about a previous engagement even though the droid screamed it to me several times.

    I'm smoking some turkey legs today, then shredding the meat and making chili with it.

    That sounds delicious! Are you smoking with gas or charcoal?

    Baked macaroni and cheese. Starts with a butter, milk and flour roue. Add finely diced onions, worcestershire sauce, dry mustard. Blend in sharp white grated cheese. Top with buttered bread crumbs and bake until bubbling. Even better reheated.
