Bacon soup

In replacement for chicken soup for people who have sick people its good remedy.

Ingredients

2(1/4 c.) Vegetable rotini pasta
One Zucchini sliced
2 carrots(small side)(sliced how you bite sized)
1 Bacon chopped up how you want and added to soup,
water depending how many ppl your serving if just you 1/2 cup
salt based on taste

Herbs:
Oregano
Fennel
Flaked Parsley

Directions

Use sauce pan, add water, use wooden spoon to keep everything happy.

add chopped bacon, some salt, put burner on.

getting hot add sliced carrots, now when boiling add zucchini reason why zucchini should boil after you added herbs reason being that zucchini easy food cook and it gets rather soggy.

add herbs, why I chose these three, because Oregano is good for immune system, Fennel good for stomach, and Parsley is good combo with these two herbs it like mint for your mouth.

take off heat your done, after you added enough salt to taste preference. if tastes good then your ready for eating.

Notes

If your truly sick this soup will help you recover, nose, mouth and pretty much make you feel better, what would been better, if you added some onions, and some celery. I couldn't get any because I don't have any money.

This would chicken soup re-placer, recommended to use turkey if you don't like bacon.

Revised potato biscuit

It was made for my dad the potato chip eater and for those people who love potato chips this for you.

I think it cookie or biscuit I make photo for later. <pic will be updated when retry again.

Revised potato biscuit Recipe

Ingredients

One russet potato "aka" baker's potato *1/4 of wedge is removed for tasting
{preparation ahead of time putting in fire-stove give it nice soft cooked taste but crispy outer edge.}

11/4 cup flour is good idea
Any flour to taste preference.

Pulp vegetable grinded down recently 1/4 cup to 3 TB

4TB Milk
4TB butter softened or slightly melted, 2TB of Oil...

1 tsp each
baking-soda,baking powder , optional: onion diced /I can't due my dad can't have it.

Seasoning
Salt it could be garlic salt.
Herbs that work well potato are dill

Directions

1) mash fresh potato down to where you be able not get too bulky when mixing drier ingredients.
Normally you consider a wet if you get cold or still hot.
Dry ingredients mix them together.
wet ingredients mix them them well together skin and all depending on your preferences

2) Turn into balls and then prepare the oven.
choose your season. Currently your balls are safe to sample if needs extra seasoning of choice.


3)350 or 375 whichever is warm and makes them crispy...Process 355

4)10 to 15 minutes is approx time for experimental bake you have watch the first batch and make adjustments.
experimented cooking time: if want biscuit golden crisply like make certain you have some egg wash to side to add it to top of dough. 11 minutes peek, cook to 15...

5) cooking all way through, and letting cool is essential.

6) initial thoughts: eating the biscuit potato was very strong in flavor.

Notes

if potato russet isn't to your liking you can try another variety that has better taste quality.
Pulp differs onion, kale or something give bit zest would pepper. You have finely grind up so not even picky eater can't taste it...

2) Chips or any decoy items you could just do plain version/ it still works, potato comes through nicely.
salt would recommended if your using a different potato and not russet kind.

3) no egg I think because if your making biscuit flavor, or some in between, add more butter, and milk it get you where you need to go.

Fish crumb mixture(Fish and Chips)

Its idea inspired by all crappy fish and chips I had over years and felt this actually tastes better gives that crispy taste without over cooking it.

For dorito lovers and people who like taste of something crunchy this might be something for you.

Ingredients

Fish: Cod, Catfish(deboned), trout(deboned) pretty much any kind fish that white kind and has quick to crisp texture.

Option 1:
Texture: Panko wheat or normal white bread type.
spices You want to use oregano & Thyme
Mystery texture for this would peanut grounded by mortar(if ppl your cooking for have peanut allergies I recommend coconut, or cashews)

egg wash

flour: I used spelt flour

oil: we only have canola for frying.

Option 2:

Texture: (we had no panko) so I used Breadcrumbs
Spices were not many use and everyone all grumpy so I used sea salt and vinegar chips...you crush them up.
Spices I recommend using parsley if you have it fresh.
Egg wash
Flour: spelt flour
canola oil for frying
Sweet potatoes circles for sides

Dorito option: Since corn chip I don't see why not.
Texture, you don't need add panko..to it. be sure to make certain family members can handle it...be considerate of those other ppl
breadcrumbs is something you have consider.
no spice needed
egg wash
flour: garbanzo bean flour or rice flour
oil

Eggs depends on your fish batch, it could 2 eggs and some water to make certain it like egg slurry or not add water.

For fresh fries recommendation would be:
Broccoli stock, carrots, beets, radish, Sweet Potatoes not sure Chards would taste good in that form crispy fried.
You have flour and egg wash them with different breadcrumbs/ sea salt and herb mixture your choice.
I got down vote from two people but I am pretty certain it would tasted delicious.

Directions

Sides Must cooked before you make fish:
flour, egg, breadcrumb =processing to whatever side you choose.
I was thinking make Japanese version potato croquettes or simple fries

Fish
1: Lets not forget to wash the fish and clean the fish before if fresh caught fish this step to take, if you got from store clean your hands...and prepare to handle tasty food. I was thinking to make sushi with cod. it was so nice..that just me thinking it. But here we go you should probably not use small knife unless you like chopping things with small thing and like touch fish. carving it something like doing or you had bad day go ahead. But if your those types who don't like doing that use big knife and be careful to make equal portions for everyone...don't make fist size chunks if frying it won't cook evenly, or making easier to flour roll too.

Advice set up your bowels in line so you can be sure not miss your step, so bowl one before cutting board should flour set up, bowel two should be egg wash, bowel three should be breadcrumbs. and final it should be plate or cookie sheet whichever works for you for final landing zone for fish to cooked and fried.

2: it gets easy after first process of making them if you have make adjustment it might be easier if notice some pieces are bigger and aren't cut properly might be good idea go back and re-adjust it. so easier for people eat it rather them blobs of flesh. overcooking makes rubber food and not good eat.

3: roll in flour, dip in egg-wash get all side then roll it again into bread crumbs then set to aside on plate ready for frying.

Ultra Thin Gingersnaps Sweet or Spicy

https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/gingersnap_cookies/ <- modification from this one anyone from this site come bark note I had modify on fly when it came out super flat. I was surprised I remembered it looked like lace cookies.

Not what I wanted but adding what I did came out better. Saved the day.

Ultra Thin Gingersnaps Sweet or Spicy Recipe

Ingredients

Wet
4oz. Unsalted butter + 4 oz shortening <- 1/2 cup both if people don't get it.
1/4 c. or 2 TB sugar(adding what says on recipe makes too crunch crunch taste)
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
2 eggs
1/3 c. Molasses

Dry
3 c. fiber flour(Br. Rice Flour, Nut flour, or heart healthy flour, Wheat flour depends you can use spelt).
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tsp roasted Ginger
2 TB of fresh Ginger < stops here if you making sweet variety

Spicy variety mix match whatever works:
two turns of grinder black pepper
1/2 tsp Japanese seven spice
1/2 tsp Paprika
(I was thinking any other we could gotten ghost pepper or something hotter...I wanted something keep warm in rainstorm.)
Don't forget if your making sweet mix type you best add some peanuts...or something nut variety so people will know it sweet one. Or mark them. 1 c. would be okay...(unsweetened coconut would be good as well but I have coconut haters coming so I could not put in sweet batch).

Spicy kind I just put dried raisins in at least 1/4 cup in batch just keep from bringing too much heat.Should cooked longer make crispy.

Directions

Mix dry and spice together, Beat wet together, scrape the sides of bowel very important.

Add dry gradually...not all in one time even how impatient you get. you get dust cloud...every where...

Use serving spoon to place in mixing machine bowel if you have issues.

By hand would been less frustrating but its get sticky I realize not everyone likes playing with gingersnap dough because you have wait until gets firm.
For me I had to check it I had wait until next day. My mother was impatient she get asking am I done with kitchen yet...

it states for rest period you have put in loaf pan I think you can still flour it and put into rolled forms and put in means where you cut up and place in freezer but it sticky. So best case scenario would freeze it and and then make use of it..

took overnight time and some then rolling it out I recommend using plastic bag...and flour on top that surface then using wax paper or parchment paper because it throwing it out that sort thing.

after its firm. [cut in thinnest possible you can cut into thick but it still taste like author of original recipe said it taste good. But her idea of making cookies coming out as lace cookies still come out better then her plan. She may have forgotten it was different butter ingredient, it could butter and Ghee. Or something else.] cut thin or thick, think you have to leave it as is, thick you cut in half and leave where it is be fine cookie.

small but be enough for adult and child.

Preheat time for baking process, 350 F/176 C 7-12 minutes however for me I had put in 15 minute due elevation and I wanted crispy not goey cookies had bad experiences with cookies and oven that quit all the time so crispy tasting cookies were on menu.
