Konvict's Kitchen ... What's Cooking Doc?

[Konvict1982]

So I decided since i love cooking and plan on sharing any and all amazing foods I cook that I would make a thread dedicated to it all rather than making a new thread for each recipe.

First I will move my existing recipes over and then add a new quick, easy, cheap, a filling recipe that I make sometimes. Hope you all enjoy my existing recipes as well as ones to come.

Let's start with my BBQ Pork on Pork ...

BBQ Pork on Pork

Start with a nice pork tenderloin and rub it down with a dry rub of your choice (I personally mix my own rub using creole seasoning, salt, pepper, Lowry's season salt)

Cook in a smoker for 2 hours. Using a spray bottle mix 50/50 pickle juice and water and spray the meat down at the top of every hour.
The vinegar in pickle juice helps tenderize the meat and keeps it moist and juicy while smoking.
after 2 hours pull the pork tenderloins off and cover in a layer of BBQ sauce of your choice (I use Sweet Baby Rays) then wrap them in bacon and return to the smoker for another hour. Ideal temperatures are between 225-275.

after 1 hour cover the bacon wrapped pork tenderloins in a generous amount of BBQ sauce and smoke for another hour.

Here is another favorite of mine. Not my creation but they are really easy to make and taste delicious(goes really good with some spicy mustard). My mother cooked these for us last time she visited.

Hard boil however many eggs you would like to make. Wrap the eggs in sausage meat. cover in bread crumbs and deep fry for 4 -5 minutes at 350 degrees.

So I love omelettes but half the time they don't like to fold so why bother when you can just make it dirty.

Start by gathering all you ingredients ... Half a red onion, some diced garlic, chopped ham (you can substitute your favorite or what ever is available;ham, left over steak, baked chicken, bologna, etc), and 2 eggs ...

Get your skillet up to medium heat (5 of 10 on my stove) then add the onions and garlic to the skillet with some extra virgin olive oil and let them fry ...
Fry your ham or heat up whatever meat you decide to use to your preferences ...
Once it is cooked to your liking chop it into nice chunks ...

Scramble your eggs no need to be neat and precise here ...
Turn off your stove eye and add the ham, onions, and top with the cheese of your choice which is pepperjack for me ...
Once the cheese is melted move it to a plate or bowl and I personally like to add some chopped tomato and dill pickle spears ...

This is a very simple and inexpensive to make meal. My wife cooked this I just snapped the pictures and posted so she gets all the credit for this one!


Start with a package of Kielbasa, 1 head of cabbage, some extra virgin olive oil, and some salt and pepper. Chop the cabbage and kielbasa up nice.
Coat the bottom of a wok, large skillet, or pot with a light coating of extra virgin olive oil and then add your cabbage and kielbasa.
Cook on a medium high heat stirring regularly until the cabbage has a slightly browned look. It should be soft on the outside but still crisp when you bite it.

Haha nice! I have actually lost weight since i started cooking my own food more. Yeah some of it is fattening but better than the stuff you grab from fast food joints. Been working on losing weight since I started bowling. I was pushing 300Ibs last year when I started bowling and am down to 260s now. Hoping to make 240s before the end of the year and just keep dropping.

I lost 70 lbs myself eating real food, and doing away with soda's ect. I am down to 215, from around 275! Its not the Fat that cause you to gain weight, its Carbs!! All the new research points to a whole NEW case of the epidemic of Gaining weight! Atkins had it Right! Good luck in your quest to good health!

I have also cut out a lot of sodas ... I went from drinking soda all day to having one in the morning (unless I have coffee instead) and then tea or water the rest of the day. I also have one when bowling unless I remember to bring a bottle of water with me. I also went from sitting around doing absolutely nothing to bowling and/or walking a mile every day.

I will try to keep it updated when i make something new. I really want to try smoking a brisket next.
