The TPR Cookbook

[jamesdillaman]

So I notice a lot of threads on here about food, whether it's theme park food or Robb's wings. I thought (with Robb's blessing) that it would be cool to start a thread where you can share some of your favorite recipes.

 

Bonus points if they are in some way theme park related.

 

Pictures are encouraged, and if you have tried a recipe from the thread, please post your thoughts/pictures/criticism.

 

Hopefully we'll all eat a little better (or at least more) because of this thread!

I'l start it out with one of my favorite things to do with Ramen Noodles:

 

PEACH TREATS:

Cream: 1 cup

Peaches: 1 small can (drain and reserve juice)

Peach Juice: 1/2 cup

Brown Sugar: 1/4 cup

Ramen Noodles: 1 package, any flavor, crushed

Frosted Flakes: 1/2 cup crushed

 

Preheat oven to 350

 

In a small casserole dish, mix the cream, peach juice, peaches, and brown sugar together. Add the crushed noodles, being sure the mixture completely covers the noodles. Bake for 5 minutes. Spread the crushed frosted flakes over the top of the mixture and bake for 5 more minutes.

 

It's delicious!

Spaghetti Carbonara

 

Most restaurants screw this up and use cream for the sauce, this is the proper Italian recipe.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 lb dried spaghetti

1 lb thick cut bacon (not that Oscar Meyer crap!)

3-4 eggs (depending on the size)

1/2 cup - 3/4 cup (to your taste) grated Parmasean cheese (not that powdered stuff, get a wedge of cheese and grate it)

 

Procedure:

 

1. Cut bacon into roughly 1" pieces. Fry and set aside, reserving some of the grease.

2. Grate cheese and set aside.

3. Thoroughly beat eggs and set aside.

4. Boil pasta (make sure you have prepared everything else BEFORE pasta is finished cooking). Once cooked, drain.

5. Combine cooked spaghetti, bacon, grease, eggs, and cheese in a pot and toss until thoroughly mixed. Melted cheese and egg make the sauce. When mixing everything together, make sure not to do it over heat, as the eggs will cook. You want the eggs raw (hence the "cream" sauce).

 

Enjoy one of my favorite dishes. Easy to make, delicious, and really easy on the arteries

One of my recipe's to add on TPR is a classic halloween or thanks giving dish. Cream of Pumpkin soup.

 

You will need:

1. Fresh pumpkin you can not use canned pumpkin.

2. chicken broth

3. Evaporated sweet milk

4. Cinnamon

5. Cayenne powder.

6.Paprika

7. Water

 

 

Start by carving your pumpkin, it can be decorative lol. You get out the inner guts and discard them. Bake the seeds if you wish. Start a pot of 1 cup water and 2 cups chicken broth on the stove high heat. when you carved the pumpkin get chunks of the insides out from the walls of it and wash them. You will then dice the chunks and put them in the chicken broth. One this is done get out a stick food processor or a normal counter top one and pour the hot pumpkin chunks and some of the broth in.Blend this while adding the can of evaporated milk in it. Pour back in the pot and cool for several minutes adding each of the listed spices to taste Top off with a slice of favorite cheese. Mainly a nice Goat cheese will go good on top..sprinkly basil on that and serve with a glass of white sweet wine with pear accent.

That was the greatest sauce known to man. Ohana is my current favorite returant in the world(and one reason I love florida) and that sauce would totally remind me of Florida.

These look great! I might just try some out whenever I finally get an urge to cook some real food!

 

What this thread needs now is photos of posters cooking their food and finished dishes to apetise me some more!

This sounds crazy, but try it, it's really good! It's sort of a breakfast bread. You can use any flavor of ice cream. Just make sure you don't use low-fat or fat-free ice cream because it won't work.

 

Ice Cream Bread

 

1 pint (2 cups) ice cream, softened

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

 

Stir together ice cream and flour, stirring just until flour is moistened. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.

[Brandy524]

This awesome and super easy recipe was my father-in-law's. My husband could eat the whole thing by himself.

 

Chicken Pot Pie

 

1 lb. boneless chicken breasts.

1 Can Cream of Chicken soup

1 8oz. pkg sour cream

1 Pkg. frozen vegetables

2 Pie shells

 

Boil chicken until you can pull it apart. Mix cooked chicken and all ingredients together. Place in pie shell, cover with second pie shell. Bake at 350 until shell browns.

[Brandy524]

And here's one more really easy one!

 

Fruit Cobbler

 

Can of pie filling (and fruit)

Half of a cake mix

1/3 to 1/2 of a stick of butter melted

 

Spray a 9 x 9 inch pan (I use glass, but I'm not sure it matters) with cooking spray, mainly just the bottom.

Pour in the pie filling.

Sprinkle the cake mix over the top. Do NOT stir!

Pour melted butter over the top.

Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

^Wow, the first and last recipes sound like they just wouldn't work! I must try them.

This is a modification of my mom's famous "Company Chicken" recipe.

 

Elissa's Company Chicken Sauce

*Note, no actual chicken is in my version! Mine is more a red wine tomato sauce to enjoy over pasta.

 

Ingredients

1 TBL Spoon Olive Oil

Minced Onion Flakes or very finely chopped fresh onion

Decent sprinkling of garlic

Tiny bit of Oregano

Generous splash of Balsamic Vinegar

1 Cup of Red Wine

12oz Tomato Paste

8oz Water

 

In a pot sautee the olive oil, onion, garlic, oregano, and Balsamic Vinegar until it makes a runny paste and is warm and cooked. Then add the cup of Red Wine. Cook until just before it boils (or if you're concerned about alcohol cook until the alcohol burns off). Add in the Tomato Paste and keep stirring. Add between 6 - 10oz of water depending on what kind of consistancy you like your pasta sauce. Cook until it starts to boil and it's ready!

 

I like to serve this over Egg Noodles, but it works on all kinds! It also reheats very well, I use it as a bread dipping sauce as well!

All these strange measurements are confusing me. What on earth is a cup? (I can only think of that DREADFUL video with 2 girls in it when the word is mentioned..)

Since I know we have some Spoodles fans here:

 

Lemon Garlic Shrimp from Spoodles

 

Serves 6

 

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped, divided

36 large shrimp, deveined and butterflied

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 bunch parsley, roughly chopped

 

Melt half the butter in a sauté pan. Add half the garlic and sauté until just golden.

Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cook about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until shrimp is almost done-pink, firm and slightly opaque.

Add lemon juice and remaining garlic and butter. Do not boil.

Season with salt and pepper; toss in parsley.

Delicious as an appetizer, or as a sauce for pasta.

Cooks' note: To butterfly shrimp, split down the center lengthwise, cutting almost, but not completely, through. Then open the two halves flat to resemble a butterfly shape.

 

This recipe is just about dead on. I add a 1/4 cup of white wine to it too.

These are absolutely great! I must try the ice cream bread this week. There will be pictures! Keep them coming!

[Brandy524]

^Wow, the first and last recipes sound like they just wouldn't work! I must try them.

 

Oh, they work! Trust me. And they're really good, too. I was skeptical the first time I tried them, but they really do work. I've made the ice cream bread with different flavors. I've made vanilla, chocolate, and butter pecan. The butter pecan was awesome! I've only done the cobbler with peach.
