As of January 1, 2010 I have challenged myself to run a marathon. Ridiculous you say? You don't know the half of it! Here I sit, day one, unable to motivate myself to get off the computer, get up and run... It doesn't help that I have NO running experience, NO training, and NO idea where to even start.

Thanksgiving / Christmas Turkey & Gravy

2009-12-01T15:39:00.000-08:00

Today's video recipe: Thanksgiving Turkey & Gravy

Hey Everyone! Sorry since its been so long since my last post. I've been working on this next post for a while now. I thought that I would try an instructional video! let me know what you think!

Prep Time: 1- 2 hours
Cook Time: 4-5 hours depending on turkey weight
Ready In: 7 hours
Serves: a lot

Here's What You'll Need:
1 Large turkey

To go on the outside/under the skin of the turkey:

vegetable oil

1/2 lb unsalted butter

salt

pepper

thyme

To go inside the turkey:

1 onion cut into fourths

1 carrot cut into thirds

salt

pepper

2 bay leaves

1 garlic head cut horizontally

Gravy:

1 chopped turkey neck

1 chopped onion

1 chopped carrot

1 chopped celery stalk

1/2 cup white wine

6 cups chicken stock

1 cup + 1 tbsp flour

Directions:

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

My Personal Review:

I know a lot of you are thinking that being in charge of the turkey is a HUGE responsibility but Over all, i think this went extremely smooth. I think if you plan in advance to give your self an extra hour or two before and after so things aren't rushed I think that anyone even a beginner could make the turkey for a special holiday meal. to be honest... this was my first turkey! Remember, if your turkey is frozen, you'll need up to 5 days to thaw your turkey in the refrigerator, or up to 12 hours if your thawing your turkey in cold water! The hardest thing about making the turkey is planning! also keep in mind not all turkeys cook for the same amount of time. take a look at this chart to determine how long you should cook your turkey.

Not Stuffed

8 to 12 lb breast 2 3/4 to 3 hrs

12 to 14 lb breast 3 to 3 3/4 hrs

14 to 18 lb breast 3 3/4 to 4 1/4 hrs

18 to 20 lb breast 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 hrs

20 to 24 lb breast 4 1/2 to 5 hrs

Stuffed
8 to 12 lb breast 3 to 3 1/2 hrs
12 to 14 lb breast 3 1/2 to 4 hrs
14 to 18 lb breast 4 to 4 1/4 hrs
18 to 20 lb breast 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hrs
20 to 24 lb breast 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 hrs

Cook Time: 35 min.
Ready In: 45 min.

2 New York Strip Steaks

1/8 Cup Whole Black Peppercorns.

1 Tbsp. Butter

Salt

1/4 cup Brandy

1/2 onion minced

3 Cloves garlic minced

1/2 cup heavy cream

7. In the same pan add the minced onions and garlic, and let saute' for a minute or two.

8. Add the reduced chicken stock to deglaze the pan. let the sauce thicken, add Cream, and let reduce by half or until thick. season to taste. pour peppercorn sauce over steak and enjoy!

The Finished Product!

My Personal Review:

Alright! This was an extremely fun recipe to make! Not to mention, for the first time ever i was able to FLAMBE' - or light my food on fire! talk about a rush! keep in mind you have to use a Stainless Steel pan for this or you may melt your non stick pans!! When cooking using a stainless pan you get better caramelization on the meat and better Sucs- or bits of caramelization left in the pan. Good luck to anyone trying this recipe, you will not be disappointed!

Hello My Followers! Sorry its been such a long time between posts! Things have been crazy around the Kopp Home. Before i get to the recipe I have a couple of announcements...

First, thank you to all of those who submitted recipes and reviews for the Kopp's Cookings Contest. I will be sending out the prizes hopefully in the next week or so. For those of you that decided not to submit, you missed out... The people who submitted recipes and reviews will each be receiving a $10 Itunes Gift card! Who knows what the prize will be for the next contest!

Second, I would like to say congratulations to my mom for getting married! I wish you and David the best! If any of you are interested, you can check out some of her wedding photos here.

Alrighty! On to the recipe!

Prep Time: 20-30 min
Cook Time: 40-50 min
Ready In: 60-80 min
Serves: 8-10 people

Here's What You'll Need:

Pie Crust:

3 1/2 Cups flour

1 tsp Salt

1 cup Cold Shortning

3/4 cup Cold Water

Pie Filling:

8 Green Apples

2/3 cup Sugar

1/3 cup Flour

1 tbl Cinnamon

1 pinch salt

Directions:

1. Measure Flour and salt for crust, add to medium sized mixing bowl and mix together.

2. Cut Shortening into flour using a Pastry blender until shortening is about the size of peas. Make sure not to handle the dough so the shortening does not melt into the dough.

3. add 3/4 cups COLD water 1/4 cup at a time. while mixing with a fork. until dough is able to form a ball, but is still a little bit flaky. Cut dough into 2 pieces 1 a little bit bigger than the other.

NOTE: do not add too much water! This will cause the dough to be hard instead of flaky. remember not to over handle the dough, so the shortening does not melt.

4. Place Larger half of dough on a flowered surface and roll out dough until it is 3 inches wider than the pie pan. fold into quarters. place corner of dough in middle of pie pan and unfold. carefully move crust to edges of pie pan being careful not to stretch the dough. (make sure there is extra dough hanging over the edge of the pie pan.) cover other half of dough with damp towel, place in refrigerator.

NOTE: I prefer to roll my dough on a flowered pastry cloth. it makes folding the dough MUCH easier!

5. place Peeled, Cored, and Sliced Apples in a large mixing bowl.

6. In a small bowl add sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and mix together.

7. Mix with apples until apples are covered. spread apples into the pie pan with the bottom crust.

8. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out dough until 1.5 inches wider than pie pan. fold into fourths, place corner of dough in middle and unfold.

9. to seal the pie crust fold the underside of the dough over the top layer, then pinch dough together making "V" shapes along the edges of the pie pan. if there is too much dough in some areas trim to a manageable length.

10. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. slice holes in the top crust to let steam escape. cover edges of pie with foil to prevent crust from burning. Bake for 30 min. remove foil and continue baking until entire crust is golden brown.

NOTE: if areas on the pie begin burning place little pieces of foil on dark areas.

My Personal Review:

Believe it or not, this is pie is actually pretty easy to make when all is said and done! hope you enjoy!

** This is the Second Contest Entry **

Today's recipe: Sweet Potato Casserole

Submitted by: Mary Wilde

Gone are the days where your sweet potatoes come out of a can and are covered with marshmallows. This delicious casserole will have you asking for seconds and thirds. I usually eat it last because it tastes just like dessert.

Prep Time: 40 min

Cook Time: 40 minutes

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 butter, melted and cooled

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

4 cups cubed sweet potatoes

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp cold butter

1/2 cup chopped pecans*

*I prefer the Emerald brand Pecan Pie Pecans. It really isn't the same without it. I have tried plain pecans, and I have even tried to glaze my own pecans, but nothing can make this casserole sing like those Emerald ones!

2. Drain and set aside

3. In a large bowl combine eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla and salt.

4. Stir in cooked sweet potatoes

Italian Beef Sandwhiches

2009-09-25T12:05:00.000-07:00

** This is the First Contest Entry **

Today's recipe: Italian Beef Sandwhiches

Submitted by: Melissa Wilson

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 8 -9 hours

Here's What You'll Need:
3-4 lb pot roast
2 jars giardiniera (I usually use one regular, and one spicy)***
1 small can beef stock
French Sandwich Rolls
Mozzarella Cheese
Butter
Garlic Salt

***For those not familiar with this product, it is a glass jar filled with spiced vegetables and vinegar. At my grocery store it’s located near the pickles and olives.

Directions:

Place Roast in a large Crock pot set to low heat. Pour both bottles of giardiniera in Crock pot. Cover and let cook for eight to nine hours. In the last half hour, add beef stock and break apart roast. Meat should separate fairly easily using two forks. If not, use a knife and cut the roast into small chunks. The remaining time will help the meat to soften. Season with pepper, oregano, and minced garlic as desired.

Butter sandwich rolls, and sprinkle with garlic salt. Then place slices of Mozzarella cheese on the bread. Bake at 375 degrees until cheese has melted.

Spoon the beef mixture into the garlic cheese bread (don’t forget to add some of the juice) and enjoy.

Carne Asada Fajitas with Homemade Guacamole

2009-09-08T17:25:00.000-07:00

Today's recipe: Carne Asada Fajitas with Homemade Guacamole

Okay, I know its been forever since I've updated my blog... But what can I say? I've been extremely busy the past three months, so give me a break! How I chose this recipe actually has kind of a funny story to it.

Being over 100 miles from my kitchen throughout most of the summer I decided it would be a good idea to start thinking of recipes to cook when i get home. So I did what any reasonable person with an Iphone would do... I downloaded a recipe App. Not just any App. But The App of all coking Apps. The Weber Grill Recipe App. So I was looking through the recipes one night and, I came across this Steak Fajitas recipe, and I have been craving these since day 3 of my 3 months away from home! So after patiently waiting 2 months, 27 days since I found this recipe, Here it is! ENJOY!

Prep Time: 30 min.
Cook Time: 18 -23 min.
Ready In: 45- 55 min.
Serves: 4

Here's What You'll Need:

1- 1lb Flank Steak 3/4 inch thick
Extra- virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion (sliced into 1/3 inch slices)
2 medium red or green bell peppers (seeded and cut into flat sections)
4 flour tortillas

(optional )
Tabasco sauce
tomatoes
cheese
sour cream with lime

Guacamole:
2 ripe Haas Avacados
1 tbl finely chopped, fresh, cilantro
2 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper

Rub:
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp pure chili powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cumin

Directions:

1. Cut and scoop avocado into a medium bowl, add remaining ingredients, mix with fork, cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning.

2. In a small bowl combine rub ingredients. lightly brush the flank steak on both sides with olive oil. season steak evenly with the rub. let meat stand for 20- 30 min before grilling.

3. Brush the onion and bell peppers on both sides with olive oil. grill until tender. Cut onion and peppers into bite size pieces.

4. Grill Flank steak over high heat for 8 - 10 minutes or until your desired doneness. let rest for 3- 5 minutes.

5. To serve cut the flank steak against the grain into 1/4 inch slices. put on tortilla, with onions, peppers and guacamole topped with Tabasco sauce if desired.

The Finished Product!

My Personal Review:

Well, The Carne Asada Fajitas were definitely worth the wait! The meat was perfectly seasoned. the Guacamole was a wonderful compliment to the dish, not only as a topping but as a side as well. I did modify the original recipe by adding cheese, sour cream with lime, tomatoes, and lettuce. Over all a great, easy recipe.

My Personal Review:

This Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped In Bacon is a delicious summer recipe that is great for the grill! The only complaints that I have about the recipe are the prep time and the cook time. This recipe is not for impatient people. The bacon is a little tricky to work with, and rolling the chicken isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, but if you have the patience and are willing to give this recipe a try it will be well worth the wait and the work required!

Prep Time: 2 Hours

1/2 Cup Honey
4 Tbl. Olive Oil
4 Tbl. Lemon Juice
skewers- (Metal skewers recommended)

Directions:

In A medium sized mixing bowl add minced Garlic, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Honey, Soy Sauce, and water. Mix until honey is dissolved.
Add chunks of stew meat into a large zip lock bag. Pour in Marinade. Seal Bag, Store in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
While meat is marinading, Cut Onions, Green Peppers, and Pineapple into bite sized pieces, and place on skewers. Skewer vegetables separate from pineapple. Set aside. ( Tip: If using wooden skewers soak for 24 hours before use.)
after meat is done marinading, add to separate skewers.

My Personal Review:

These Steak Kabobs were the most amazing kabobs I've ever tasted. The marinade gives them the perfect taste and keeps them extremely juicy. Like I said in the intro, these kabobs are perfect for large gatherings. One thing I would recommend the use of metal skewers. Even if the wooden skewers are soaked for over 24 hours, they still tend to dry up, burn, and eventually break even if you are not done cooking.

Sourdough Starter for Sourdough Pizza

2009-04-06T12:05:00.000-07:00

Today's post will be a 2 part post.
*Pizza Recipe, pictures, and review to follow later tonight*

The first part of today's post will be the directions to making the sourdough starter needed for the crust of the sourdough pizza. Its a very simple process but can take anywhere from 2-5 days till it is complete. The pizza recipe can also be made with a traditional pizza dough, but i like the flavor of the sourdough crust.

Prep Time: 10- 15 min.
Ready In: 2-5 Days

Here's What You'll Need:

2 Cups Spring Water
1 Tbl. Sugar, Honey, or Maple Syrup
2 Cups all purpose flower
1 Tbl. Yeast

Directions:

Beat all of the ingredients together in a bowl
Cover the bowl with a towel and place in a warm area (cover bowl with cloth not plastic to allow airborne wild yeast to enter) The starter will bubble within a few minutes. It will double in size, but as it begins to ferment it will settle down.
Let the starter sit in a warm place, stirring the liquid back into the batter (it will separate) once a day for 2- 5 days. When the bubbling has stopped and it has a sour yeasty aroma, it is ready to use.
Stir the mixture and measure the amount needed. It should be the consistency of pancake batter.

Keep Your Starter Going

Store the finished starter in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
Every time you remove an amount of starter add to your starter an equal amount of flower and water. (If you use 1/2 cup starter add 1/2 cup each of flower and water) Let the starter sit in a warm place for 12 hours then Return to refrigerator.

A starter can be kept as long as you would like. Every week or two, be sure to use/ remove part of the starter, and add as much flower and water as you used/ removed.

The tender potatoes and carrots covered in a smooth dark gravy complement the roast, and are a perfect side. What do you expect me to say about my grandmas recipe??? But believe me, It is the truth! The only down fall of the recipe is the time it takes to prepare and cook it, but that's not Nanny's fault!

Chris' Bay Area Burger

2009-04-01T18:59:00.000-07:00

For my first recipe I've decided to make an American favorite, Cheese Burgers. Normally burgers consist of ground beef, salt, and pepper. Toss it on a bun, now add one, or all of the following... ketchup, mustard, mayo, possibly some lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Don't forget your cheese! American, Swiss, Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Blue Cheese... You get the point. So simple but yet so many combinations! So you think you've got the burger thing under control... right? Not yet! Today I've decided to take the original Cheese Burger and jazz it up a bit! The recipe is called "Chris' Bay Area Burgers"

Prep Time: 10 Min.
Cook Time: 20 Min.
Ready In: 30 Min.
Serves: 4 People

Here's What You'll Need:

1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
4 hamburger buns, split
4 Slices of cheese of your choice

Directions:

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Mix together the ground beef, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil. Divide into four balls, and flatten into patties.
Cook the patties for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. The internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from grill and place onto hamburger buns. Top with desired toppings and condiments.

The Finished Product!

My Personal Review:

Overall, This was a delicious NEW recipe and would definitly make it again sometime! It was very quick, and simple, and was well worth the 30 minutes. It was lacking a little something, I think it needed a special sauce, or something other than your normal ketchup and mustard etc. Others recommended serving with fresh mozzarella slices on a rosemary/ red onion focaccia instead of a hamburger bun.
