Homemade Amaretto is one of my favorite Christmas gifts. All you need is vodka, sugar, some extract, and an empty wine bottle. It takes like 20 minutes to make. Cheap and tastes fancy, great in a pinch.

Making my awesome jalapeño cheddar sweet corn bread
Edit: Done!
[collapse=recipe]
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour
1 cup kefir (or buttermilk)
0.5-0.75 cup sugar
1.5 tsp baking soda
2 medium sized eggs
1/4 cup chopped, fresh jalapeño
1/4 cup diced mature cheddar cheese
2 sticks unsalted butter
1tsp salt
* Preheat oven to 400F and grease a 9" cake pan
* Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl
* Melt butter in a pan and remove from heat. Add sugar to butter and stir until dissolved
*Add the eggs and milk to the flour mixture and stir lightely
*Add the sweetened sugar and stir until completely incorporated
*Add cheese and peppers and pour mixture into the greased pan.
*Baking time will differ, but 25-30 minutes is about right. Check with a fork or toothpick.
[/collapse]
This corn bread is great with a nice chili or bbq. If you like a less sweet corn bread, you can reduce the amount of sugar.

What is everyone making and/or eating for Christmas?
I made some salsa, guacamole and stuffed mushrooms.
My mom made chicken franchaise and my dad made filet mignon. It was all amazing.

I made a picture tutorial in the video below. Sorry for the rough voice...I generally don't talk very much. This 7 minutes is something my vocal chords will take awhile to forgive me for:
Basically:
Ingredients
1 Package Yeast (¼ ounce) (2-1/4 Teaspoons)
1 Cup Warm Water
2-1/2 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Sugar (Can use Dried Herbs instead)
1 Teaspoon Salt
Directions
Combine yeast and warm water
Stir until dissolved
Add remaining ingredients and mix well
Can add a tad of Cornmeal for crisper Crust
Let rest 5 minutes
Roll out to size and shape you need
Can use same size recipe in jelly roll pans and on round baking stones
Pre-Bake Crust at 450F for 6 to 10 minutes or so
Add Marinara Sauce and Whole Milk Mozzarella cheese (Mixing in some cheddar is very good, too)
Bake at 450F for another 6 to 10 minutes
Use your imagination, this is hard to mess up

In honor of Sam Rosen's recent accidental mispronunciation of "Paille" as "paella," we will be having homemade paella as part of our Super Bowl celebration.

Good job! That is pretty much the dough recipe I use, but I honey sometimes. Yours is so nicely rectangular, mine is always like an amoeba
Salami + crushed garlic = underrated pizza topping combo. But it will make you Smaug for like 24 hours.

Fondant potatoes, you say? If you didn't mention it, I would have said those were oddly flat-sided scallops!
How are fondant potatoes? I've never heard of them prepared that way.

RIP, Jimmy.
Those look quite delicious.
I am going to have to try to make those for my wife when I get back from my trip. I haven't cooked much in the last week or so but recently did make an outstanding meal. Caramelized onion and brie stuffed chicken breasts with a cauliflower risotto. The recipe calls to de-glaze the pan with white wine. I used a little bit of bourbon instead and it gave the brie & onions such a wonderful, rich flavor.

I heard of them on a youtube channel by chance and then researched them! So first time making them. I used this recipe from Chef John at Food Wishes. Really been impressed with his stuff.

That brie chicken looks delicious!! Loving the plate haha

RIP, Jimmy.
Thanks for the compliment on the food and plates
. I've wanted to get plain white plates or plates that are different colors (but the same color throughout). My wife doesn't want to let these go.I owe this to thepuckmonster though. If she had not got me started on this low carb diet a few months back, I wouldn't have had the need to get creative with things like this.

I love food. I just had cashews and sauerkraut. Weird combination.
Um... can't say I have ever had that combination but sauerkraut is so good with so many different foods.

The recipes and techniques are really really good. Just be sure to read all the way through the recipes as they could be written a little better
and a random simple trick I've picked up in recent years. If you like garlic mashed potatoes but either don't have the time to roast a bulb of garlic or just don't feel like it. Just shell as many cloves as you like and throw them in the water to boil with the potatoes. When the potatoes are ready the garlic will be soft and will mash right in. It makes them a little milder so if you really want the garlic flavor use more cloves than you would generally. But it is a great time saver if you need it.
We love cooking especially for game days.

Moonshine apple pie
What you'll need:
1 quart 190 proof everclear and it's legal in NY so check out the local liquor store
1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
4-5 cinnamon sticks
2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla--or maybe just a little more.
1 pot able to handle 2 gallons worth of liquid
somewhere between 9 or 10 quart mason jars with lids.
Pour apple cider and apple juice into pot--add white and brown sugar, cinnamon sticks and vanilla--stir it good. Bring to a boil. Let sit until it cools off and you want it to cool off. When cooled off add everclear and stir for a couple minutes. Put into jars and refrigerate. It's best if it sits for about two weeks. A very smooth drink but it has some kick to it and can sneak up on you.
I have a variation of that which is Moonshine Peach Pie
Peach cider can be found in southern states like Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. It's quite a bit more expensive than apple cider. I'm going to make some of this in the next couple days. This year I went online to get a gallon and between the cost and shipping it was close to $40 just for a gallon. A friend gave me a bottle of everclear (about $30) which kind of negated that. Even so it's more than twice as expensive to make Moonshine Peach Pie than Moonshine Apple Pie.
For the Peach Pie:
1 quart Everclear
1 gallon Peach Cider
about 128 oz's of canned or jarred peaches (in peach syrup--not fruit or apple juice--peach and nothing but peach) from the grocery store
depending on how sweet you want it 2 or 3 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
a large enough pot to boil two gallons of liquid
9 or 10 mason jars with lids.
Pour peach cider and jarred peaches in peach syrup into pot--add sugar and vanilla--stir it good--bring it to a boil. Let sit until it cools off and again you want it to cool off--add everclear and stir for a couple minutes. Put into jars and refrigerate and again it's best if it sits for a couple weeks. Just as a note--the peaches do have a habit of soaking in some of the booze and some people will start scarfing them down like candy.

I never had them together either. I eat cashews daily but only bought sauerkraut today after seeing some on my morning news. I eat goofy combinations.
I do make an excellent crock pot turkey chili, coconut curry and steak. I can pretty much make anything really, but those are great for game time.
