My signature recipe (Yes, I'm a guy. Yes, I can cook) is an Orange Creamsicle Fudge.
* 3/4 cup butter
* 3 cups sugar
* 3/4 cup whipping creme
Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in
* 1 package (10 to 12 oz) vanilla chips
* 1 7oz jar marshmallow creme
Blend until smooth
Remove 1/2 and set aside.
Add
* 3 tsp orange extract
* 12 drops yellow food color
* 5 drops red food color
Pour white mixture into 9 x 13 pan. Drop orange mixture by tablespoons over the top. Swirl with knife or spatula. Cover and refrigerate until set.
If you want to try substituting the orange for strawberry or something else, go for it.
BTW - there is a place here for Firefly related recipes. http://www.fireflyfans.net/referencelist.asp?s=recipe Some of them look alright.

This recipe is actually one of my mother's creations, one of those recipes I had to call and get from her after I moved out.
Extra Moist Corn Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 Tablespoons white sugar
1 box (small to regular size) vanilla pudding mix
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter or melted shortening
Mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt together; set aside. Mix eggs, milk, and melted butter together, beating eggs well. Slowly combine wet and dry mixtures, mixing just until uniformly wet. Pour into greased 9x9 pan, bake at 425 degrees (F) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out bready (bread should not be completely dry, but also should not still be doughy). Serve warm.

This is another recipe I got from my mom, and should be a favorite of college students and PMSing women everywhere. 
Super Easy Fudge
Ingredients:
1 12 oz jar chocolate icing/frosting
1 12 oz bag chocolate chips
1 7 oz jar marshmallow creme (or 1 bag mini marshmallows)
1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (or other nuts), to taste
Melt icing and chocolate chips together over medium heat. Add marshmallow creme and stir until melted or almost melted. Add nuts and remove from heat. Pour into buttered/greased pan (9x9 or larger) and chill in refrigerator for at least an hour. Cut into small squares and serve.
(I've found that using mini marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme yeilds fudge with bits of marshmallow. Up to personal taste.)
Sounds too easy to be true, but it really does produce very tastey fudge. Its so good that I had to hide the recipe so I would stop making it, and had to figure out where I'd hidden it so I could post it here!

h'mmm, several to try out there i think ^^
hokay, not sure i'd call it a recipe per say, it's just how i do pork but, anyway.
indcidentally, i don't really do specific quantities either, i tend to play it by ear, so i hope that doesn't make it harder to follow then needs be.
1 1/2-2 pork chops per person.
about half the volume of pork chops in cherry tomatoes.
half a large onion per 2 chops.
small button mushrooms (about a third of the volume of the tomatoes)
pine nuts.
crusty bread.
Firstly cut the pork into strips, about half an inch square, then soak half of the strips in honey and ginger. let them be for about two hours (outside the fridge, longer if in) and cover the other half of the chops in a mixture of chili powder, brown sugar and sage. it's basicaly then just a case of shallow-frying it all and trying to make sure you keep it all seperate (if you overcook bits, or don't use fresh-that-day tomatoes, they tend to mush down and it isn't the same) and crispy, especially the onions ^^
once it's done, place a couple of slices of bread onto a plate, and heap everything on top of it, all the juice's soak through the bread and it's all rather tasty.
if simplistic (all the better, to my mind) xD

This may sound strange but these cookies are really good (espcially with cream cheese frosting, everything's better with cream cheese frosting...cookies, cakes, research papers...)
Ricotta Cookies
2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 lb ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
4 cups flour
Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the flour) and mix. Add the flour one cup at a time. Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350F or until lightly browned on the edges.Frost and decorate if you want. This recipe makes a ton of cookies so you can cut the recipe in half if you want. Unfrosted, these cookies freeze really well.

This one is because it's cold and vile here...
Chicken marengo
Toss pieces of chicken (2-3 chopped breasts) in a couple of tablespoons spiced flour (salt, pepper, herbs and a pinch of paprika), reserve flour.
Brown chicken in a mix of butter and oil, set aside. (This works best in a casserole dish on the stove-top) Then fry up a chopped onion, a couple of rashers of chopped bacon or pancetta and a finely chopped clove of garlic. Add more butter or oil as neccesary, then add the flour to brown slightly. Mix in 3/4 pint chicken stock (and yes, I do make my own, but fake is fine, too) a tsp sugar and a couple tablespoons tomato ketchup (not passata, the bottled condiment kind) Put the chicken back in, stir in a handful or two of sliced mushrooms, and a generous slug of sherry. Once the pot is bubbling, stick it in a 180@ oven for about an hour.
This goes well with jacket spuds or mash.

Spiced mustard butter for jacket sweet potatoes
Crush 1Tb mixed peppercorns, add 2Tb brown sugar, 2TB grain mustard (or 1 grain, 1 cajun or provencal if you like heat) and blend into whatever 2oz butter translates into (1/4 of a stick?)
This goes well as a topping for grilled pork chops, in which case you can reduce down a couple of glasses of cider and mix the grill pan juices in to make a sauce.
Astonishingly, this is also good with broccoli. It stops tasting good for you.
Garlic is optional, but could be crushed in, if this is the pork topping.

Another chicken dish - this was a family recipe that made it's way to Washington DC.
Brown chicken breasts in butter and oil, with a little chopped garlic and paprika. Tip away the excess fat, pour in a generous glass of sherry, and cover the pan. Basically, cook and turn the chicken until it has a sweet brown glaze.
Then top with creme fraiche (full-fat - do NOT try this with half-fat cr*p, it goes into grey slurry) mixed with a little crushed garlic, paprika for colour and a good handful of grated cheese - use something mature, but not a monster. Grill until bubbling, and eat with new potatoes and some green beans.
