Old Fashioned Corn and Potato Chowder

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Malriah  

Excellent chowder! I've made it twice now, once using fresh & once using frozen bicolor corn, and both were wonderful. I skipped the toppings, but I don't think we missed them at all. I used raw whole milk one time and a mixture of organic... — Halcyon Eve Oct 31, 2009

Tomato and Basil Orzo Salad

Posted by wicked cook 46  

What a wonderful idea, to make Insalata Caprese (one of my all-time favorites) into a pasta salad! I made this as written, except that I subbed reduced fat Italian cheese blend (mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan) for the Parmesan cheese. It was... — Halcyon Eve Aug 27, 2009

Corn Cob Butter

Posted by katew  

I didn't try this myself as I can't eat corn, but DH enjoyed the flavors of it. DS (age 5) said he liked it, although I think mostly he just noticed corn! I'd like to try this on green beans, too--maybe other vegs as well. Thanks so much for... — Halcyon Eve Aug 24, 2009

Sweet Whole Wheat Pancakes

Posted by CoffeeB  

Wonderful, delicate, flavorful pancakes! I made these for DS & DH, but I snagged a bite to taste it. They were excellent--much better than our usual pancake recipe, and ever so much healthier! I used 3/4 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 tsp baking... — Halcyon Eve Aug 16, 2009

Shishlik (Israeli Skewers)

Posted by Pneuma  

Wonderful! I used lean beef cut into large cubes, which filled 2 large metal skewers. We cut it up afterwards according to our taste, and served it on pita bread with Israeli Salad. It made a fantastic summery meal! Thanks so much for sharing,... — Halcyon Eve Aug 16, 2009

Israeli Salad

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Mizzy  

Delicious! I used Spanish pimento-stuffed olives as they were the only green olives I had at the time, and I omitted the chives and the zaatar. I used a yellow pepper instead of green pepper, and used a handful or two of carrot shreds for the... — Halcyon Eve Aug 16, 2009

Tuna Salad Meal (Lite-Bleu)

Posted by 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)  

My DS & I enjoyed this lovely, fresh-tasting, light lunch! I made the tuna pretty much as written, except that I omitted the salt and added a tiny dab of mustard. I used reduced-fat mayo and water-pack tuna. For the additional items, I put out... — Halcyon Eve Aug 14, 2009

Unfried Refried Beans

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by cookiedog  

I can't believe I forgot to review this! These were lovely, and smelled so good as they simmered away in the crockpot! It was so hard to keep the lid on and not lift it up for a better sniff! I skipped the jalepeno to make this more kid friendly.... — Halcyon Eve Aug 12, 2009

Oriental Vegetable Soup

Posted by JackieOhNo!  

"Souper" delicious! Reminded us a lot of sizzling rice soup but w/o the rice. I used chicken broth instead of beef, added carrots, and added some chicken breast poached in a little of the broth before adding the vegs and the rest of the broth.... — Halcyon Eve Aug 6, 2009

Wasabi Salmon

Posted by Beautiful BC  

I loved this and would rate it 5 stars for myself, but opinions in my family were mixed. DH, who admittedly is not a fan of fish, was about a 3 stars--he didn't like it as well as some other ways that I've prepared salmon. DS thought it was yummy,... — Halcyon Eve Aug 4, 2009

Plantation Coffee Punch

Posted by Karen=^..^=  

This was delicious! I made it using lowfat chocolate milk, Dreyer's Slow-churned vanilla ice cream, instant espresso, and whipped cream. It sure went down easily in the heat wave we were having! Thanks so much for sharing, Karen! Made for Comfort... — Halcyon Eve Aug 3, 2009

Coffee Punch

Posted by loof  

I'm not sure why, but I just didn't really care for this nearly as much as I thought I would! I think it would be excellent using chocolate ice cream and omitting the nutmeg, but as written it didn't really grab me. Part of that may have been due... — Halcyon Eve Aug 1, 2009

Frothy Iced Coffee

Posted by Sydney Mike  

Very good, refreshing drink, like a coffee smoothie. I used skim milk and instant espresso, and just used regular granulated sugar as that is what was on hand. Very tasty! Thanks so much for sharing, Syd! Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009. — Halcyon Eve Aug 1, 2009

Sunday Afternoon Tea Quick Pickled Cucumber and Onion

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by French Tart  

Loved these! The malt vinegar added a different flavor than the vinegars I'm used to using. They were just a bit too sweet for my taste (although that could be due to a conversion error--I used 1/3 cup). They had a lovely, fresh flavor even after... — Halcyon Eve Jul 23, 2009

Méli-Mélo:a Muddle and Medley of Heirloom Tomatoes

Delicious, and so pretty! DH in particular was taken with this salad. I used a selection of different cherry tomatoes in different sizes, shapes, and colors, cut in halves or quarters. I served it with Traditional English Pub Style Ploughman's Lunch. I used a lot of fresh basil... — Halcyon Eve Jul 23, 2009

Traditional English Pub Style Ploughman's Lunch

Posted by French Tart  

Fabulous! I love ploughman's lunch. I made this with crusty baguette rolls (mini baguettes), a couple of locally-produced cheeses (Appel's gouda and Beecher's flagship), pickled onions, sweet gherkins, garlic & dill gherkins, plus Sunday Afternoon Tea Quick Pickled Cucumber and Onion... — Halcyon Eve Jul 23, 2009

Fancy Frozen Fruit Cups

Posted by gailanng  

Mmm! So delicious and refreshing! I made this as written, except using red grapes instead of green and canned peaches instead of fresh. I also ended up with a little less strawberry and a little more melon. I had enough to fill about 18-20 little... — Halcyon Eve Jul 23, 2009

Poor Man's Lobster #1

Posted by Kim127  

Yum! DH can't have lobster (and actually dislikes shellfish anyway), so this was perfect! It was similar to crab or lobster, but different enough that DH liked it, too. I used Alaskan Cod fillets instead of haddock, and it tasted great. I also... — Halcyon Eve Jul 21, 2009

Asian Chicken Kabobs

Limeade/ Nam Manao

Posted by morgainegeiser  

Oh my! I love Thai limeade, with its sweet-sour-salty flavors, but this is by far the best I've ever had! It was very easy to make, too. The only change I made was to use 6 limes instead of 7 (miscounted at the store) and made up 1 cup of juice... — Halcyon Eve Jul 17, 2009
