Spam Wellington

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

This recipe was in given to me by a good friend. The recipe originated from "Marshall Field's Oakbrook" according to her cookbook. It isn't something I would usually make, but I wanted to post it, in her honor. MORE»

Pickled Grapes

(1 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

We had pickled grapes as part of an appetizer that was served at Teatro ZinZanni. These ones don't taste exactly the same as the ones chef Tom Douglas served there, but they're a tasty addition to a cheese or charcuterie plate. They taste similar... MORE»

Cucumber, Pomegranate and Goat Cheese Appetizers

(1 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

These are adapted from "TANGY TART HOT & SWEET", by Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi. There, they were called an open-faced tea sandwich, but I'd consider them more like "toasts". They have a nice crunch, and the green, red, and... MORE»

Tangerine Semifreddo (Frozen Tangerine Souffle)

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I made this for Christmas, and it was a refreshing, delicate dessert after a heavy meal of rib roast and mashed potatoes. It tasted a bit like a Creamsicle! I'll post it in the amounts I made it in, but I'd probably add more citrus zest next time.... MORE»

Garlic Shrimp With Basil & Tomatoes

(1 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I adapted this from Food Network last summer. We like more garlic, tomatoes & basil than the original; and we quickly saute the shrimp & garlic in a pan. It's very good over pasta or even rice, but we usually serve it with crostini.... MORE»

Baked Ham in a Blanket

(2 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

My Mom prepared ham using this recipe for holidays or special occasions, and it always made the house smell wonderful. I remember watching her 'crack' the blanket off the ham, which both flavored it and kept it extremely moist. I've eaten it... MORE»

Chile Cheese Roll-ups

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

This is a wonderful appetizer, and works well for potlucks too. I think I saw it in the Sunday paper advertising section about 10 years ago. If you can make your own fresh pico de gallo or salsa, wonderful, but if not, jarred salsa works just... MORE»

Chocolate Espresso Cake (flourless)

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I got this recipe from a friend I used to work with, who maintains that it's VITAL to use fresh espresso. This cake is very rich and fudge-like. I've tried cutting the recipe in half (unsucessfully) so I prefer to make the whole cake and just... MORE»

California (Mexican) Tortilla Casserole

(2 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

This recipe came from a dietitian I know; her original recipe came from Bon Appetit. I haven't made this for awhile, but I tried to include the time it takes to slice and grate the cheeses within the prep time. Total servings should be at least... MORE»

Sesame Cheese Olive Poppers

(2 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I got this recipe from a co-worker. She brought them to a Christmas party and although I don't usually like green olives, I LOVED these. The surrounding cheesy-dough goes well with the tart olives. The recipe calls for them to be served hot, but... MORE»

Parmesan Baked Fish

(2 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

We usually use cod, salmon, or halibut for this dish, but I'm sure you could use other fish as well. MORE»

Baklava Salmon (Salmon With Honey, Butter, Walnuts, and Mustard)

(196 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

One of my friends deemed this "Baklava Salmon" and the name stuck. The salmon & mustard go well with the honey, butter, and walnuts. We usually serve this with rice and steamed carrots or broccoli. MORE»

Italian Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I like to grind the salt, fennel seed, and pepper together myself, and I often add whole pine nuts to the paste mixture. MORE»

Pumpkin Bars (reduced sugar)

(1 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I have served these bars to my best friend and her daughter, neither of whom need reduced-sugar foods; they both said they were great. And they smell very good while baking. MORE»

Cheese, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Torta

(7 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I make this for a potlucks or parties, so often I assemble a tiny one in a mini-loaf pan for the two of us. If there are any leftovers, they go great on bagels. I sometimes take small disposable containers so people can take some home with them.... MORE»

Tomato Bisque Soup

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

This is adapted from the cafeteria at work. It was written in food service quantities and I hope I've scaled it down properly, since I loosely measure the ingredients when I make it. The onion, bay leaf and clove make the kitchen smell especially... MORE»

Asian Salmon

(16 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

This is very quick to prepare; I have marinated the salmon for as little as 1/2 an hour, yet it has plenty of flavor. For ease of preparation, we buy individually portioned salmon from a big-box store. We prefer to grill it on our indoor contact... MORE»

Black Bean and Smoked Sausage Soup

(3 reviews) Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I can easily make this after work, even if I have to prep everything from scratch. The original recipe was adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It called for 1 lb of dried black beans but for us, canned works best on a weeknight. I've... MORE»

Coquille St. Jacques (Scallops With Beurre Blanc)

Posted by ~TigerJo~  

I either buy fresh scallops, or the frozen sea scallops from Trader Joe's. They thaw fast enough that I can easily make this on a weeknight. I'm told some folks have problems with the sauce "breaking" if you are not careful whisking in... MORE»
