Aunt Charolette's Calico Baked Beans

Posted by rechelle  

This is a hit in our family. Since Mr. JB has to keep his salt and sugar intake down, I don't use canned beans, and I reduce the amount of bacon. I soak a cup each of limas, kidney beans, and one other bean variety overnight, add the other... — Mrs J B Aug 16, 2009

Chloe's Spicy Pretzels (No Cook)

Posted by GrannyHen  

Per a discussion on the community board, I received this recipe for the 4H Cloverbuds. The kids loved making them. Later, I made a batch for the family, and Eldest Daughter took some to the break room at work. They were a hit there too. These... — Mrs J B Jan 29, 2009

Polenta

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Warren B.  

The flavor is good. I would make one correction to the recipe: Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and pour the polenta into when it's done. Chill and let the polenta set up. Then you can slice it and grill it and do other creative things with... — Mrs J B Sep 12, 2008

Braised Lamb Shanks With Barley

Posted by Beth Wettergreen  

Well, the packages marked "lamb" I pulled out of the freezer turned out to be beef. I tried it anyway with beef and it worked, except I think that beef is a bit heavy for this. Used Merlot for the wine. Will try it again with a proper leg of... — Mrs J B Jan 17, 2008

Penne With Oyster Mushrooms, Prosciutto, and Mint

Posted by cookiedog  

This recipe definitely needs the saltiness to work. I tried to skip the ham, and it was ok, but not nearly as good as the version I made with the prosciutto. — Mrs J B Oct 28, 2007

Roast Duck

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Tonkcats  

I used this recipe several times. Didn't get the timing quite right on one try, but otherwise the ducks have come out well. I used the most recent duck meat in a pilaf recipe, and the marinade flavoring added a lot to the pilaf. — Mrs J B Mar 18, 2007

Variations: I grill the chicken separately on a countertop grill, slice the chicken into strips, and serve it on top of the vegetables. I also add other vegetables from the farm co-op box, like string beans and yellow summer squash and mushrooms;... — Mrs J B Sep 23, 2006

Orange Chicken

Next time I will try adding the flour or corn starch to the sauce before adding the sauce to the meat. My sauce came out too thin. Flavor is fine. — Mrs J B Mar 18, 2006

#2 son, age 12, had to bring a German recipe to a class party. This recipe was easy enough that he could do most of the work himself. The filling tastes a lot like apple dip, and the kids like it. The one suggestion I'd make, for people more... — Mrs J B Jan 5, 2006

Spaghetti Squash With Parmesan Cheese

Posted by Lali  

RE: Texas Kelly's question above Squash come in all sorts of odd sizes. You may have had a small squash. The one I used was about ten inches long and 4 inches in diameter. It didn't quite cook through at one end but on the whole I liked it.... — Mrs J B Oct 11, 2005
