Mama Miche’s Magic Kitchen
Makes Your Kitchen MAGIC!
Welcome to my recipe collection. Here you will find my delicious dishes, both new and old. I will also share my take on some essential kitchen standards. All of these are designed to be simple and prepared quickly (though some recipes can take a long time to actually cook). I hope you enjoy them.
Smoked Cream Cheese
This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Smoked Cream Cheese
I usually just smoke cannabis and leave the rest to the hubster. He smokes the meats, poultry, fish, etc in our smoker. Then I saw people smoking cream cheese and thought, that I can do. So, hubs set the smoker up, and after he smoked some killer ribs, I took over and smoked the cream cheese covered with our Memphis Mojo Rub™, and I am definitely hooked! Holy Shit! I tried it on crackers, kettle chips, cucumber, and bagel chips. All fantastic (that's fantastic and orgasmic)! Take it from me, try it, and you'll see…
Deviled Eggs
This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Deviled Eggs
The deviled egg dates back to ancient Rome, but the devil adjective wasn’t added until the 18th century when deviled was used to describe something spicy or fried. Today, most deviled eggs are mild in flavor but can be kicked up a notch by adding some cayenne or hot mustard. I only use Colman's dry mustard exclusively to devil my eggs. And I don't add any pickle relish or any other nonsense. I've had deviled eggs that way, and they've been okay, but I prefer mine to be relish-free and heavily seasoned with mustard and paprika. Sometimes, I top it with crispy bacon. Sometimes, I top it with a slice of avocado or some Everything but the Bagel seasoning; sometimes, I get crazy and load it with all of the above and, of course, my standby, our Twice Stolen Spice™.
Poulet à l'oignon (French Onion Chicken)
This is Mama Miche and today in my magic kitchen: Poulet à l'oignon
In honor of one of the greatest love stories on television, Abe and Rose Weissman from the Marvelous Ms. Maisel series, I made this French Onion Chicken dish. I imagine it would be something Rose would ask Zelda to make Abe if he ever got out of line again. Instead of going back to France, this would remind him that she did leave him once and would again, while also bringing back the memories of them falling in love again in Paris.
Valentine ‘Chokes
This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Valentine'choke
No, I didn't just reveal my kinky side… or did I?
When it comes to food, there are a few that are considered aphrodisiacs. Oysters, strawberries, honey, and avocados are among them. One of my favorites, though, is the artichoke—and not just the heart. I'll eat the whole damn thing, steamed, dipped in melted butter with Twice Stolen Spice™.
They take a long time to cook unless you use one of the greatest kitchen inventions ever: the Instant Pot. It takes hours off cooking times for some foods. A small artichoke steams in 5 minutes. A large one stuffed with this incredibly decadent seafood stuffing takes 15 minutes! This brings me more joy than it should.
Sin in Damnation
Today in My Magic Kitchen we are making a popular treat that we serve at our parties. There are many recipes for bacon-wrapped smokies and they’re all very simple. You can just wrap the smoky with the bacon and leave it at that. I mean it’s bacon for God's sake! It’s perfect as it is, right? The Memphis Mojo Rub™ can be used in so many ways, it’s not just for smoking meats, and it really adds so much to this recipe. You can have a touch of maple syrup for your favorite barbecue sauce, which will soon be Jeffro’s own sauce when we bring it to a store near you.
We started calling this crowd-pleasing appetizer favorite “Sin In Damnation” because it is an artery clogger and it’s definitely not kosher. They are so cute, bite-sized, and tasty so it’s easy to overindulge. Never do I recommend doing that. With anything this addictive, exercise caution and moderation. That old expression “too much is never enough” does not apply here! In my experience, it never applies. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. A little bit of sin in damnation is good for the soul, but too much is bad for the butt!
