Quick Polenta Rounds With Sage Butter and Parmesan

Posted by What's Cooking?  

This was quick, easy, delicious and an economical dish to prepare. There wasn't quite enough sage butter sauce to drizzle over the polenta. I think next time I will increase the sage/butter sauce ingredients a little more. I used tubed organic... — Cookgirl Nov 10, 2009

How to Make Dried Chickpeas in a Crock-Pot

Posted by Chef Kate  

I also never knew until about five years ago that you could cook beans in the crock pot. What an easy, less messy way to prepare them. Besides garbanzo beans, I've cooked many other types of beans with excellent results. Thanks for posting this... — Cookgirl Nov 9, 2009

Black Cat Cookies

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Jolene Green  

I first found this recipe on Allrecipes.com about ten years ago and try to make them every Halloween. Because the cookies were baked for very young children, we substituted red mini M&Ms for the Red Hots. The cookies themselves are delicious and... — Cookgirl Oct 28, 2009

Whole Wheat Sour Cream Cornbread

Posted by A Messy Cook  

I expect most whole wheat cornbread recipes to be dry and dense and quite frankly rather tasteless. This recipe fortunately was nothing like that. The corn bread turned out flavorful, moist and light. I used half sour cream and half Nancy's plain... — Cookgirl Oct 26, 2009

Lemon Curd Squares

Posted by Ann Arber  

I made these tonight not knowing that the recipe was posted here in Recipezaar. I, too, doubled the amount of lemon juice, added the optional coconut and garnished the top of the bars with finely ground macadamia nuts the last ten minutes of... — Cookgirl Oct 23, 2009

Creamy Stone-Ground Grits

Posted by Impera_Magna  

I was out of regular grits and had to substitute quick-cooking. I reduced the cooking time by half and skipped Step #5 entirely. The salt was omitted, too because Parmesan supplies enough sodium for this recipe. We thought this was an outstanding... — Cookgirl Oct 15, 2009

First things first: delicious and a huge hit at church social this morning. The salad dressing: Out of relish-used capers for relish, cut hickory smoke down to 1/4 teaspoon, added cracked black pepper and pinch of salt. Added a very small amount... — Cookgirl Oct 11, 2009

(Balalit or Saweeya) Sweet Vermicelli Breakfast (Gluten Free)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by UmmBinat  

I do believe this is my new favorite breakfast meal! I ground up the rice vermicelli too small but it made no difference with the end product. The vermicelli only cooked on low for 15 minutes, enough time to infuse the ingredients and the rose... — Cookgirl Sep 3, 2009

Insalata Di Ceci - Corsican Chickpea Salad

Posted by Um Safia  

This was so easy to make and very tasty. It made a huge difference cooking the garbanzo beans from scratch in both flavor and presentation. Fresh parsley from the garden and it went well with our main meal. Thanks! Reviewed for Ramadan Tag 2009. — Cookgirl Sep 2, 2009

Whole Wheat Peanut Sesame Bread (Abm)

Posted by mikekey  

I also made these into rolls. Instead of adding the sesame seeds to the dough I garnished them on top of the rolls- which were egg washed. If you're looking for a pronounced peanut butter taste this won't work for you. The rolls worked beautifully... — Cookgirl Sep 1, 2009

Lemonade

This recipe was scaled down to 2 servings. The big change here was making a simple syrup using superfine sugar. (Boiled then cooled.) That way the sugar was sure to dissolve and not collect at the bottom of the glass. I would be inclined next... — Cookgirl Aug 28, 2009

Cucumber With Orange Flower Water
