Gamma's Pannekoeken – Baked Apple Pancake

Posted by Jess4Freedom  

This turned out great! I like how the pancake puffs up around the edges and middle as it cooks. I used a 9 x 13" baking dish and my pancake came out thinner than most pictured (it was ready at 25 mins). A good tip is to fully preheat the oven... — averybird Oct 18, 2009

Heartbeet Salad

Posted by dicentra  

Wonderfully creative idea, and so cute!! All the more perfect that it was posted by someone named dicentra (the botanical name for bleeding heart plant). Used 1" small and 2" scalloped heart cookie cutters that came from Michaels (sold in a 6 pack... — averybird Oct 11, 2009

Stewed Tomatoes Jefferson

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Chef Shadows  

As summer winds down and garden tomatoes are a'plenty, this has been a "go to" recipe for me. I've made it twice now. Once served with toasted artisan bread and again (as a triple batch) served over fried polenta cakes w/ feta. So good! I peeled... — averybird Oct 11, 2009

Fruit Fly/Gnat Trap

Posted by Abby Girl  

YES! I can say from experience that this gnat trap absolutely WORKS. I had tried the vinegar funnel method before moving on to this one (it was a failure). But with this one, voila, the trap was full in less than an hour! Plus it is so easy to put... — averybird Aug 29, 2009

Shotgun Red Beans And Rice

Posted by Iowahorse  

Great, flavorful beans! Added extra green pepper and onion (and a bit of oil) but otherwise followed pretty closely. Nice to find a recipe to use up some of that canned grape juice from our Concord vines. Thanks, Iowahorse! — averybird Aug 2, 2009

Rhubarb Torte

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Gerry  

YUM! Sooo good! If you enjoy the tartness of Lemon Bars you will loved these squares. Did not achieve Baby Kato's Mile-High meringue but I'll be working on it next time =). Delicious all the same, and the sprinkled coconut is a MUST. I am a huge... — averybird Jun 8, 2009

Lentil and Rhubarb Curry With Potatoes and Peas

Posted by EmilyStrikesAgain  

So nice to find a savory recipe for rhubarb! Substituted regular brown lentils for the French/du Puy. Otherwise followed closely. I really enjoyed this! Although was ambivalent about the cabbage (might leave it out next time). Great with some... — averybird May 31, 2009

Potato Curry

Posted by Dancer^  

An old favorite from the Vegetarian Epicure. I make it often, as written, except sometimes I use sour cream for the yogurt (mmm!)and cut back to a pinch of cayenne. Otherwise the spice combination is perfect. Thanks for posting! — averybird May 31, 2009

Hot and Sour Cabbage Soup

Posted by yogiclarebear  

Made this last winter and forgot to rate until now! Very warming and tasty soup. I used sauteed button mushrooms and I'll bet a combination of different kinds of ''shrooms would be good here as well. I agree, the broth MAKES the soup. It's... — averybird May 31, 2009

Uncle Bill's Beets & String Beans in a Cream Sauce

Posted by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin  

Wow, I can't express how yummy this is! A wonderful beet dish that I feel is too special to be a mere side. I will continue to serve it up as a main dish with french bread in the future. The only change I made was to use sour cream (diluted with a... — averybird May 31, 2009

Wow, very good and even better the next day as leftovers in my lunch! A great way to use up cabbage. And I just loved the poppy seeds (please, don't leave them out! they add texture and are a very charming addition to the dish) Hubby and I both... — averybird May 31, 2009

Super-Quick Brown Rice With Asparagus, Chickpeas, and Almonds

Posted by Cooks, Shoots & Leafs  

Very tasty recipe for when asparagus arrives in May! I used some leftover Niko white rice and sliced almonds but otherwise followed pretty closely. The dressing is very light and healthy! Might make extra next time as the rice kind of absorbs the... — averybird May 31, 2009

Turnip, Honey & Roasted Garlic Soup

Very warming and tasty! The subtle presence of the garlic and honey were very nice additions, and I loved the variety of root veggies called for in this recipe. I roasted all my veggies in the oven with a little olive oil, along with the garlic.... — averybird Apr 4, 2009

Red Lentil and Swiss Chard Stew

Delicious!! I prepared some dried garbanzos for this recipe using Cooked Dried Beans - Cooks Illustrated which is a must-try recipe for beans! I also used kale in place of the swiss chard, added 1/2 can of light coconut milk, and adjusted the cayenne for less heat. The... — averybird Mar 31, 2009

Lemon Soup With Garbanzo Beans

Haven't tried this yet, but comments on Epicurious indicate that the turmeric and cumin seed proportions probably should be switched. Looking forward to trying this! — averybird Mar 30, 2009

Cooked Dried Beans - Cooks Illustrated

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by LaJuneBug  

Another winner from Cook's Illustrated! These beans are so flavorful, the difference from canned beans is astounding. I also like how the beans completely soften but do not fall apart (i.e. the skin stays in tact). On the C.I. website there is an... — averybird Mar 14, 2009

Yogurt "Tartar" Sauce

Posted by Barefoot Beachcomber  

We loved this, it does actually taste like tartar sauce, just a "lighter" version of it. I left out the capers and added extra pickle (dill). Mine was a tad runny, probably from adding extra pickle juice. Next time I might strain the yogurt and... — averybird Feb 27, 2009

I use this recipe all the time! It works great even for the bigger Kabochas (bake time is a little longer). On tall Kabochas I wrap the stem in foil to prevent burning, then rotate about halfway for even baking. The flesh comes out so tender it... — averybird Feb 1, 2009
