Why you so nasty johnnycakes?

Now I'm inclined to cook some spinach balls this weekend. I might take a picture and post it. They're delicious unlike the thought of gangrene testicles you brought up in here.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Twiney, did you ever try the spinach balls?

Well, I see nobody seems to appreciate the fried green tomatoes but they are so good. This is a recipe for unfried ones. They don't taste as good as the ones you drop in a skillet of hot oil, but slicing them thinly helps it taste better:

UNFRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 dash sugar
* 3 green tomatoes, sliced into 16 slices (1/2-inch)
* 1/3 cup nonfat milk
* cooking spray


ingredients for fresh tomato gravy

* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1 cup chopped mushroom
* 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
* 2 cups finely chopped peeled tomatoes
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°.

2. To prepare the green tomatoes, combine flour and next 4 ingredients (flour through sugar) in a shallow dish. Dip tomato slices in milk; dredge in flour mixture. Lightly coat both sides of tomato slices with cooking spray.

3. Place a baking sheet in oven; heat at 400° for 5 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately coat with cooking spray. Place tomato slices on preheated baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.

4. To prepare the gravy, melt butter in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion, and cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add chopped red tomato; bring to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spoon the gravy over the tomato slices.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Use the gravy as a dip or whatever dip you want to use. I find greek yogurt to be good with them. DO NOT pour the gravy over the tomatoes per the recipe because it will completely kill the crunchiness.</span>

I am the Crock Pot God(dess)

-2 cups cooked and cubed chicken
--1/2 yellow onion, chopped
--3 stalks celery, chopped
--1/4 cup unsalted butter
--1/4 cup flour
--2 cups fat free milk (not sure if higher fat milk would curdle)
--3/4 cup chicken broth
--4 oz Fast Melt Cheese (Velveeta would work)
--1/2 cup hot wing sauce
--a pinch of salt


Make a roux with the flour and butter. In a bowl, melt the butter on high for 45 seconds, then whisk in the flour. Set aside.

Chop up the onion and celery, and dump it into your crockpot. Add the cooked and cubed chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Add Cheese.

Stir in the flour and butter mixture. Add hot sauce.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4. The soup is done when the celery and onion reach desired tenderness and the flavors have melded.
