Root Veggie Stew ~ World of Warcraft

3 large potatoes (cubed or use smaller potatoes)
3 large carrots (sliced)
2 onions (sliced)
2 green peppers (sliced)
French onion soup mix
4 cups water
2 chicken breasts (shredded)

I sliced the carrots, potatoes, onions and green peppers. Tossed them with olive oil or butter and spread out on a cookie sheet and roast them in the oven for 45 minutes.
Don't skip this step, it takes awhile but oh so delicious!

I baked the chicken in the oven until thoroughly cooked. Let cool. Shred.

Add 4 cups of water with the packet of onion soup mix.
Add chicken, veggies and bring to a boil.
Reduce to simmer for 30 minutes.

I know, adding chicken to beef broth base.
We're crazy here at The Gamer's Fridge kitchen.

Yum!

I will roast veggies before I make any soup or stew. This was the most amazing stew.

Council of the Three Hammers Interview and Bacon

These three were harder to interview then a politician. The only thing I could get them to agree on was bacon.

Falstad Wildhammer: BACON!

Muradin Bronzebeard: BACON!

Moira Thaurissan: BACON!

Falstad & Muradin start to scuffle, tipping over a chair. The fact checker ducks, barely missing a punch intended for Muradin.

TGF: Guys, please.

Moira Thaurissan: Oy!

TGF: And girls. Can I get everyone to sit down, please. 

Falstad Wildhammer: It's nice to finally have a lady for company. 

(Falstad winks at me as a hardtack biscuit from Moira's general direction bonks him in the head.)

TGF: Council, please. Lets start with Flastad, can you tell us what you choose as your dish?

Falstad: Well now, Fannie has been after me about eating right. So I choose baked asparagus.

TGF: Baked asparagus, really.

Falstad: Well baked asparagus wrapped in BACON.

Muradin: BACON!

Moira: BACON!

Falstad begins dancing on his end of the table. 

Muradin taps my shoulder and places a steaming dish in front of me.  It smells wonderful!

Muradin: My favorite dinner is Westfall chicken legs. Anduin visits often and he always brings me a few cluckers to bake up and wrap in-

Falstad: BACON!

Muradin lunges at Falstad across the table and tackles him to the ground. 

Muradin: That was my-

Falstad: FOR BAC-

Muradin: Damnit man

Falstad: Bacon!

Moira sits down next to me and hands me a long, thin piece of chocolate. I bit into it and look back at Moira surprised. 

TGF: It's chocolate covered bacon! It's delicious.

Moira: Bacon is always delicious.

Hozu Stir Fry ~ World of Warcraft

The hozen are a monkey-like race that lives in Pandaria. 

They are mischievous pranksters native to Pandaria that "act like a group of 14 year old boys" running around together in the jungle, equipped with machine guns and weapons from the Horde, who will recruit this tribe to help fight their war. They are also found all over Pandaria, even in one of the dungeons. -wowpedia

You will need:

1 egg
1/4 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 pounds steak, cut into bite size pieces
Season beef with your favorite seasonings or skip the seasoning and use dipping sauces like 
Ranch, Steak Sauce, Honey Mustard, Ketchup.

Cut the beef into bite size pieces.

In a bowl, beat together the egg and milk. 
In a second bowl, mix the flour.

Dip the steak pieces in the egg mixture then roll in flour.
Repeat. Dip floured covered back into egg mixture and roll into flour again.

Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet.

Fry for 4 - 5 minutes on each sides.

Vegetable Soup ~ Skyrim

You will need:
(I forgot to add the bag of frozen veggies and the 2 cups of rice to the photo below. So sorry.)

2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 of a green pepper 
1 can black beans
1 c muchrooms
1 c baby carrots
6 cups beef, chicken or vegetable broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
2 c rice
1 (16 ounce) bag of frozen mixed veggies
salt and pepper to taste

Cut up the vegetables into bite size pieces.
I used a beef stock base. 
(I made a beef stew a few weeks ago and I saved and froze the broth that was leftover after everyone ate the beef, potatoes and vegetables. I am so glad I did, it saved me from buying or making more stock.)

The best thing about soup is you can put anything in it. You need a base broth of vegetable, chicken or beet stock then the rest is up to you.

I put everything in a crockpot and let it simmer all day. 

If you don't want to use a crock pot, here are directions for stovetop.
Add your choice of broth and bring to a boil.
Add carrots, celery, green peppers and beans.
Boil for 10 minutes, then add.
Mushrooms, tomatoes, bag of mixed vegetables and rice.
Boil for 10 more minutes until rice in tender.
Set to low heat until everything is soft.
Taste test to make sure everything is tender enough for you, be careful!

Yum!
