half n half
grated parmesan
garlic
butter
chopped prosciutto
and with 5 minutes left i dumped chopped chicken, provolone, and arrabiatta sauce on top.
My philosophy when at a culinary fork in the road (pun intended): just use everything. #yolo
That sauce + rigatoni =![]()
I don't think rigatoni and sauce is the correct recipe for popcorn.![]()
It's funny---we had two thanksgiving's---one on thursday at my sister's house and the second on Saturday at my mother-in-law's house (which by the way forced me to miss watching the last debacle against the Flyers). When we go to my sister's house---the booze is out in full force---the mother-in-laws's house it's all and only about food. I prefer my sister's house because given the choice I'd choose a beer over a turkey leg (though I do like turkey quite a lot) though the beer will have to be a good one and preferably an IPA. My wife prefers her mom's--more into the eating part.
Anyway to my sister's house. I brought beer and some Peach Pie moonshine I'd made from boiling peach cider (that I got from a trip to North Carolina in September) with a peach malt liquor drink and some canned peaches, sugar, a bit of cinnamon and vanilla and when it cools down you mix in 190 proof everclear. It's a variation of Apple Pie moonshine.

Any of you chefs cooking a holiday dinner? If so, what are you making?
Even if you're not cooking, what are your holiday meal traditions?
That sounds so good! Christmas Eve we do seafood too, but something like spaghetti w/clam sauce and maybe some shrimp and scallops. Christmas Day we have a tray of my lasagna with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, but this year I am trying a broccoli and cauliflower with cheddar cheese sauce for a change.Christmas eve is usually a day filled with appetizers and a seafood dinner. Pitted dates with bacon, deviled eggs, spinach and artichoke dip, warm crab dip, etc. Dinner is usually crab legs and lobster tails for most of us and then my wife and sister will eat chicken as neither of them are big on seafood.
Christmas day is pretty simple. Potatoes (whole roasted and mashed), tons of different casseroles and some steaks.
Oh. I forgot the most important part. Eggnog on ice with a shot of Jack Daniels in it to give it some really good zip. After 2-3 it is usually just JD on ice![]()
If any of you culenary masterminds have a recepie for home made breakfast saucage id be greatful!

We used to do Spaghetti w/ clam sauce. Such a good meal. I can't eat it anymore unfortunately and that is part of the reason we stopped making it. We still do shrimp but no scallops.
Lasagna on xmas... yep. That sounds awesome. When we lived in NY, things were much more traditional (well, traditional for an Italian family anyway). When we moved to the south and it became just us, we started deviating from tradition.
Cheddar cheese sauce?? Hell yes. Cheese sauce makes everything better.
Balsamic-braised brisket with bacon and mushrooms.

Oh, I can relate to that. My aunt used to do the big Christmas Eve with all the seven fishes. Oh, how I miss that. Our family is all over the country now too so it isn't the same but you have to try to make the most of it.
The Italian Christmas Eve is my favorite meal of the year. Made crab-stuffed calamari in red sauce last year and it was ****ing amazing.
