Recipe Of The Day

Today's 30 Minute Meals is all about meat and potatoes, but it is definately not your average steak dinner. It is a hot and spicy version of the all american dish. Fiery Hot Texas T-Bones with Chipotle Smashed Potatoes and Hot and Sweet Pepper Saute is a meal that will clear your sinuses. The steak is rubbed down with grill seasoning, cumin, chili powder, and smoky chipotle chili powder, it is Sauteed in a pan and topped off with a combination of colorful bell peppers and smoky jalepeno and chipotle peppers. It is a perfect balance of hot and sweet. If that does not sound spicy enough for you, get another kick in your mouth with chipotle smashed potatoes.These potatoes have a tremendous amount of flavor. Bacon, onions, and chipotle chili powder are cooked together then smashed up with sour cream and the potatoes. Warning! this meal is not for people with a sensitive spice pallete, this meal will definately get your eyes watering. Enjoy!

Attack on Cheney

Vice President Dick Cheney was involved in a terrifying attack yesterday afternoon. Cheney was sent to a bomb shelter after a Taliban suicide bomber attacked the main American military base he visited in Afghanistan yesterday. 14 people were killed from the Bagram Airbase attack which people said was aimed for Cheney. Cheney was only at the airbase because of inclement weather, he was supposed to be in the Capital city of Kabul. No one knew exactly what was happening but after everything was cleared officials said it was a suicide attack that was targeted toward Dick Cheney.

recipe of the day

Fast food gets a healthy twist on today's episode of 30 Minute Meals. Rachel Ray takes the all american meal of a burger and fries and makes it healthy and easy to make at home. Her recipe for turkey chili burgers combines all of the flavor we love but don't have to feel guilty for eating. Her recipe includes everything you love in chili but making it into a burger. Chili seasoning adds an extra kick while cheddar cheese runs all through the burger in order to make it moist. She makes a refreshing cole slaw to go along side these burgers, the cole slaw is very healthy because the dressing has no mayonnaise in it. Who can eat a burger without french fries? I know I can't.. She takes a regular package of frozen french fries but gives it a twist by putting garlic butter all over them and baking them in the oven. This is a wonderful twist on the typical hamburger and french fries, and for once you don't have to feel guilty for eating fast food.
