The Secret to a Successful Twice Baked Stuffed Potato!

Very simple recipe - Get some large potatoes and bake them in the oven, make sure to sprinkle some sea salt and Olive Oil on them and wrap in foil. At the same time STEAM some chicken breast or use Rachael Ray's recipe below.  - Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a heavy pot with the onion, garlic and just enough water to cover (about 1-1/2 cups). Add the barbecue sauce, vinegar and a few drops hot sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with two forks. I prefer to steam the chicken because you lose nutrients when you boil it. Anyways after cooking the chicken "shred it and put in a bowl with some BBQ sauce. I like Stubbs or Sticky fingers (Wal-Mart). Take the potatoes out and cut them in half, then gut the potatoes into a bowl leaving the skins intact. Add some butter, sour cream or cream cheese, whipping cream, and some chopped bacon, chiv

I love spaghetti and meatballs! If you don't own a NuWave oven then your missing out. this think is exactly what they say it is on the commercial. http://www.nuwaveoven.com/ Meatball ingredients: 1 and 1/2 lbs of ground beef or turkey 1 small solid Mozzarella cheese ball 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese 1/4 onion finely chopped 1/4 green bell pepper chopped 1/2 cup of quick oats 3/4 cup milk 1 egg 1/2 table spoon of garlic 1/2 table spoon Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon of salt/pepper/paprika olive oil Combine all these ingredients(except cheeses) by hand. use a 1/4 cup per meatball and flatten it into a hamburger patty, take a marble size bit of mozzarella and marble size ricotta cheese and stuff it into the center. Fold up the sides and make it into a meatball by rolling it in your palms. Let the finished meatballs rest in the fridge for like 20 minutes. I cook my meatballs in my Nuwave oven. but you can cook them either in the oven or in a skillet with some olive oil

The Secret to Successfully Loving Your Spouse "Part 2" (Sacrificing your manhood)

     I love my wife dearly, so from time to time it results in me unselfishly fulfilling requests at any cost. Last night my wonderful wife convinced me to attend an aerobics class for her since she has been recently put on "the bench." Reluctantly I agreed and proceeded to suite up for class. The last class I attended with her was actually a pretty intense workout. The class was a kickboxing type class, so it was also manly ! Well the class last night, which I am not knocking, was more of a mix of Boy band type dance moves, some running, and some good ole' fashion Footloose type stuff. Now I'm no Kevin Bacon, meaning I can two step with the best of them and I can even do some rocking out stage dives during Karaoke night, but getting footloose is not for Mr. Siar. Don't get me wrong now there is no doubt that there was a workout involved, so if your planning on wearing a spandex one piece in near future, then go for it. I just consider myself more of a grunting

Through Any Circumstance...

      But know this, that through any situation whether it be bad or good. God will always find a way for his glory to shine for those who are faithful. God is always with us and no circumstance is too difficult for God to handle. Don't let the matters of pain and fear in this world overcome you, rejoice in him always and know that God will find a way for his glory to reign even if we never see it first hand in our own lives. From - (Romans 8:28-30)      What did Paul mean by this? I'll tell you what I think. Life is hard and there is never going to be an explanation for everything that happens in life. I was explaining to my girls Monday night that God will always bring Glory to any situation no matter the circumstance. Now that doesn't mean that death, suffering, and unexplained circumstances are "great" acts of God. That would just be too cold to tell someone that through some uncanny tragic event in life that it was a good thing. But from what we should k

The secret to my SUCCESS (issue # 6) Three cheese ravioli with spicy tomato sauce!
