How many favorite recipes do you have?

If I am cooking, it's more than likely to be spaghetti and meat sauce. If pressed, I might make meatloaf. I do do the cooking for Thanksgiving and it's usually ham and candied yams. I'd rather be the eater than the cooker LOL

About 100 recipes to make delicious deals, however, I like to make egg cake best recently which is so delicious,my parents like to eat them too and only need 5 miniutes to finish one!

I have many of my own as well and it is all stocked in my mind and doesn't need no recipe book. I cook sinigang na baboy, adobo, leche flan, spaghetti, tuna and chicken sandwich and lots more. I mostly cook on christmas and new year. They are well loved by my family.

I have several recipes that I seem to make over and over, too. I do cook meatballs and meatloaf both quite often. Also home made pizza. There's a chicken and rice recipe that I make at least every 2-3 weeks as well. Lately, my boys have been eating even more rice than normal, because it doesn't have a strong smell. Strong smells have been bothering me for the last week and a half or so.

I don;t really follow recipes when I am cooking or baking. I just use my own thinking and add the things I like to a dish I am making. For example, I make a lot of homemade soups and I never follow a recipe, just put whatever I have in the house, into it. I made a pot of bean soup the other day and I used everything fresh from the garden. I put in it, green and yellow garden beans and carrots and onions and potatoes and carrots and so on, stuff fresh from the garden. For the soup base I use something we call, in my family, ipren. It is oil and flour and paprika fried till nice and brown and then add water and some pork, but not much pork. This time I used some ham as I cooked a whole ham the day before so I used the bone and some pieces. It is more like a vegetable soup and is so good. In my family, we also put in knuckles, which you probably call dumplings, and we put a little bit of vinegar in our bowl when we eat it, something like putting sour cream in borscht.

I just have a few I use all the time, switching them around any way I like. My grandmother and my sister have books with endless recipes, like a collection, and use only a small percentage. What I like to do is build up on those I find particularly tasty. So the day will come when every single thing I cook will be a gourmet's delight. I started a notebook with recipes I pick up around the place but it has just a few entries. I'm not really a recipe collector.

I got a new, super simple recipe this year, and since the meat part of it is on sale, and we just bought some, I will share. It is a form of pulled pork, I guess. Get a pork loin roast, and sear it on the skillet. Put it in a large crockpot, pour a can of refried beans on it and about 24 oz of your favorite salsa. Cook it until you can shred it with two forks. Use it in tacos, and rolled into tortillas, or serve it over rice or on potatoes. I do not know how many favorites or standbys I have, but it is plenty. I tend to just look up anything on line that I am wanting to cook.

I have a load of old favourite Danish recipes, so many in fact, that I published a cookbook!!! http://www.lulu.com/content/116633 The Title "Tak For Mad" means "thanks for the food" in Danish.

I have many recipe books too that I have inherited, or collected through the years. The oldest and best is one that used to belong to my grandmother, who was an American. But I also have recipe books from Australia, as I lived there for many years, from Peru (I was born there), Austria (I live there now), Canada (my mother lived there), plus assorted ones of places we have visited, like Greece. Measurements and temperatures are different, but I am used to it now! Austrians use grams and after years of using cups, spoons and teaspoons, I have discovered that weighing is not such a bad idea and I am all for it now!

I've never really counted them, but I guess I'll find out once I begin to list them. Chili Vegetable soup Spaghetti with meat sauce Chicken potpie (aka chicken & dumplings) made with tortillas Crockpot pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy or with carrots and potatoes and gravy Hot wings (or hot chicken nuggets) Meat pie Hamburger stew (for biscuits or Shepherd's Pie) Green Chili with hamburger Green Chili with pork Ham, potatoes and green beans Hamburger with green beans and tomato sauce Roast Turkey with stuffing and homemade gravy Cranberry-Orange roasted chicken There are probably other things, but they don't really have names - just things I know how to make that are easy and tasty. My mother is the queen of cooking with no recipes. She can't even tell me how she makes something because she never calculated the measurements. One of the best cooks in all of South Jersey. As for which get the most compliments, I'd have to say the chicken potpie, hot wings, pot roast and turkey are at the top. When Mom goes back for seconds or thirds, I know I've got a winner!

I have a about ten stand by recipes. My chocolate covered caramels went over great this year and have become a favorite. I also have finally found the perfect cheesecake recipe. Then I have my potato salad that gets requested pretty often and my chicken and biscuits I love. I have a few others that I enjoy making and get a lot of compliments on.

I dont really have any favourite recipes that i follow to make family meals. I follow someone elses instructions or ill go look it up on the net if i dont know how to make it. My favourites would have to be shortbreads and cakes. butter chicken,homemade pies,and stuffed chicken pieces.

I have made many recipes of my own which are very delicious after cooking. I believe Im a fine cook and I have invented many recipes of my own with vegetables, mushrooms, and even with eggs. These recipes are liked by my friends and they even started to cook with this recipes at their homes for their families.

i have got something like more than 15. my favorite food cooker is my mom and my favorite dessert maker is my sister! she makes some yummy desserts!

My fav.'s are: sheperd's pie brownies tuna salad home-made enchiladas green chili stew These are my comfort foods.

I'm like you with tons of cookbooks, lol. You know what's crazy? I'll try out a new recipe, love it to pieces and then never make it again. I always just stick with what I've made out of habit for years and forget about any new faves. So I made myself I recipe book with constuction paper and a huge binder and used cut outs from the tons of cooking magazines I was saving with fave recipes. I also put in printed out ones and will add my own. That's made a huge difference in us trying new things. Ok so my faves to make are: * Southwest Foil Packet Oven Chicken - with brown rice and cilantro salsa. * Southwest Chicken Taco Salad - with beans, corn, ranch dressing and salsa plus veggies and crumbled tortilla chips. * 2 Bean Meat Chili - with everything all natural, from scratch, no powders or canded sstuff and real chili peppers. * Citrus Chicken - It's so sweet yet sugar free. * Arroz Con Pollo - Typical Puertorican spiced chicken and rice in one pot. * Pernil - Another typical Puertorican dish, it's peppered & limed slow oven roasted pork shoulder. * Pecan Cresent Chocolate Dipped Cookies - this has been my fave for years. * Meatloaf - I grew up on all Puertorican foods so I had no idea how to make meatloaf but loved it at places like Denny's lol. So like 2 years ago I dated someone who was a chef and he taught me how to make it and I've been making it ever since. Such a comfort food! * Biscuts - umm... yumm!

I do not have my own favorite recipes but I do love it when somebody has a favorite recipe and cooks that and I get to taste it. I am like an admirer of culinary talent while not having any of my own.
