Recipe thread, Awesome!!!
I love to cook.  
Made this the other night, totally ripped from a cooking magazine but damn is it good, normally don't like cabbage.

Pork Chops with cabbage, apples,onion and BEER.
ingredients
4 1.5 inch thick porkchops
3 tbs veg oil
1 red onion (thinly sliced)
1 tbs dijon mustard
1/2 head of  cabbage (cored and thinly sliced)
2 tart apples, I used granny smiths (peeled cored, and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces)
1/2 cup low sodium chicken
1/2 tsp dried tyme
1 cup of beer (the best part! I used blue moon)

lightly season chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
heat the oil in a large skillet than add chops and brown on both sides
remove chops and set aside (they will not be fully cooked at this point, still pink in the middle)
in same pan cook the onions until softened, 5 minutes or so
stir in the dijon mustard and 1/2 tsp of pepper
add the cabbage and apples and season lightly with salt.
cook for a minute or two.
add the beer, tyme, and chicken broth and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes
return the chops to the pan burying them in the cabbage mixture
cover pan, reduce heat and simmer until pork is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Enjoy!

This one is really simple to make but tastes incredible

2 cheese alfredo with pancetta

Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 cup half and half
4-8oz diced pancetta
4oz parmesan cheese (i recommend a fresh shredded parm but even like kraft parmesan will work.)
4oz gorgonzola cheese
(optional) 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (technically would make it a 3 cheese alfredo : )
8oz alfredo noodles (cooked according to package directions)
1-2 tbs pepper
cook pancetta in a frying pan, drain fat, just like cooking bacon
in another pan, melt the butter then add half n half and bring to a boil, stir frequently
reduce heat to low and slowly add your cheeses while stirring.
once your cheeses are melted add pancetta and pepper and stir
mix your sauce with your noodles and serve.
The butter and half n half will seperate, dont mind that : )

I usually season the sauce with a teaspoon or so of oregano and/or basil or a few dashes of nutmeg
I also make this with chicken and brocolli instead of pancetta.
You could also use all types of cheeses in this

How can something so simple be so good?

Ingredients
1 swede (rutabaga), peeled and chopped into ½ inch cubes
3 carrots, chopped
2 parsnips, chopped
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 litre vegetable stock

Method
Cook the vegetables...
Bring the stock to the boil in a large saucepan. Add the vegetables and simmer for 20 minutes until the swede chunks are soft. Add herbs and spices of your choice.

Blend the soup.
Remove the soup from the heat and let it cool slightly. Blend with a hand blender and return the soup to the stove. Reheat slowly to serving temperature.

Serve.
Best served with crusty bread, you can also top each bowl with grated cheddar cheese and some toasted nuts and seeds for a variation.
Silas (son of Silas):
Ingredients:
1 cup of whole milk
30g  of good white chocolate, chopped
1 green cardamom
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Makes one mug of comfort...
Method:
Add the chocolate and vanilla extract to a heat proof container. Microwave/ warm milk together with the cardamom just till it is about to boil. Add 1/4 cup of this milk to the chocolate and stir till the chocolate melts. Add the remaining milk, and using a hand blender, or milk frother, mix nicely till desired foaminess is reached.

Sprinkle a little dark cocoa powder before serving

I made an interesting concoction the other day...

-Pillsbury Pizza Crust x2
-2lb Chicken
-BBQ Sauce
-Kraft Pepper Jack Shredded Cheese
-Crushed Red Peppers
-Dry Slaw Mix

Bake the chicken, covered in BBQ sauce, on high in the crock pot for 7.5 hours. (It works best if you cut the chicken into small pieces or shred it once it's done).

Once this is done- roll out the dough onto a greased baking sheet, layer on the cheese, slaw, and the BBQ chicken and then fold the pizza dough to make a closed pouch (do the same thing for each of the two).

Sprinkle crushed red pepper on the top and bake in the oven until the dough is golden (it usually takes about 15 minutes or so) at 350 or 375 degrees (whichever your dough calls for).

Cut into pieces and serve with fresh fruit, salad, chips or whatever vegetable you'd like and enjoy! It so delicious and so good. I find that if I put the chicken in the crock pot before I go to work in the morning that the only time I have to spend is putting together the pockets.
