Red, White, and Blue (Berry) Green Salad

(1 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

This recipe is more about assembly than actual cooking. (I mostly wanted to post my pics, which are pretty!) I had store-bought Romaine and Aerogarden -grown mixed greens, as well as strawberries and blueberries, needing to be eaten, so I made... MORE»

Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

My former co-worker made this for our Fall Harvest pot luck, and it was a huge hit! I didn't think I liked pumpkin too much, but this ends up being so sweet and tender, with carmelized onions...yum!!! I'm posting this, mainly so that I won't... MORE»

Cinnamon Toast Spread

(1 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

One of my former students submitted this for a class cookbook, several years ago. It is to be spread onto toast, after cooking, but it also works to spread it on, beforehand, and lightly broil the French bread slices. Decadent! MORE»

Grilled Italian Pesto Panini

Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I took Pesto Focaccia Sandwich for Six (which I LOVE!) and adapted it for one, using a George Foreman grill. Since I was heating the grill anyway, I decided to grill sliced onions and red peppers, to add to the sandwich. It turned out great, and I think it'll... MORE»

Shrimp Tacos/Wraps

Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I used leftover fried shrimp, Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip, and tortillas to make tasty taco wraps. They were yummy, and super-easy, as I had everything on hand. If you don't ordinarily keep my Chuy's Dip in your fridge feel free to substitute salsa... MORE»

Key Lime Cheese Ball

(3 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I found this recipe online, but I haven't been able to find it, again, to thank the submitter. I've taken the commercially prepared mix cheese ball to several functions, but my friends liked this one just as much, if not more, and it's a lot... MORE»

Simple Asian Lemon Chicken

Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

This easy Asian recipe came from a Kraft cooking magazine. I subbed the fresh snow peas the original recipe called for, with an Asian frozen veggie mix, containing snap peas. This is very light, and great, served over rice. If you want it to be... MORE»

Belinda's Mexican Rice

(2 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

This is Mexican rice, which doesn't have a tomato base, like Spanish rice. It is mild and light-tasting. I originally (incorrectly) posted this with a copycat recipe with Chili's Margarita chicken. It made it seem as though this was a copycat... MORE»

Yummy 3-Ingredient, No-Bake, Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layer Cake

(1 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I've made this several times, and have always had rave reviews! My teaching partner, a Reese's nut, loves this, and requests it as a b-day cake! It came from the 5/25/04 issue of Woman's Day. It's beautiful, easy, and rich-tasting, and it looks... MORE»

Mom's Camp Fire Potatoes

(1 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

We used to have these "camp fire" potatoes as an accompaniment to The Kim Family Korean Beef Recipe when we went camping. Today, however, mom and I have both given up camping, and make these yummy potatoes in the oven! (Although, I highly recommend that... MORE»

My friend, Harold, always brings this to every gathering, because it's always requested, and it's always a hit...I guess I should call it "Always Brie!" Enjoy! MORE»

Chicken With Black Bean Salsa

(1 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I got this recipe from a lowfat cookbook, but now that I'm enjoying fat again (ha!), I've listed cheese as an optional addition to the recipe. This is quick, easy, and really tasty! Enjoy! Note: I always serve this with my Mexican Rice recipe... MORE»

Amazingly Easy Microwave Breakfast Ring!

Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I got this super-easy, cheap sweetroll recipe from a church cookbook over 20 years ago, and I've been making them, ever since. The original recipe calls for baking them in a round dish with a glass in the middle, but they're even easier, if you... MORE»

Diane's Baked Beans

(1 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I think the bacon (and amount of it!) on top is what makes these baked beans taste so great! They are always gobbled up, even by people who claim not to really care for baked beans, that much. Oh, and they're really easy, too! MORE»

Super Easy Chicken Parmesan

Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX

Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip

(14 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

This stuff is habit-forming! This is the best copycat recipe I've found, as it uses homemade ranch dressing; bottled ranch just doesn't taste very good, in this dip. MORE»

Chuy's Deluxe Tomatillo Sauce

(4 reviews) Posted by Belinda in Austin, TX  

I love Chuy's restaurant, and everything I order, burritos, enchiladas, or chili rellenos, I order with this sauce! I've even covered cheap, frozen burritos with it, and made them (almost) good! This is a copycat recipe, that's really close! Enjoy! MORE»
