Hot Water With Lemon

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by The_Swedish_Chef  

I just made some yesterday! It's perfect when you want something hot to drink but are not in the mood for tea or coffee. You do not have to feel under the weather to enjoy this. It's a great natural diuretic too! — Chicagoland Chef du Jour Oct 31, 2009

Sarasota's Pork Baby Back Ribs

Posted by SarasotaCook  

I made this dish by request for my son's birthday dinner. Delicious rib rub! Much more economical than buying premade rub blends. Slowly baking & steaming with beer and cider is something I had never thought to do, I had always used plain ol'... — Chicagoland Chef du Jour Oct 27, 2009

Turkey and Sausage Jambalaya

This is very good and flavorful. I halved the recipe with great success. The only adjustment I made was putting all the ingredients together as suggested then throwing it in a crock pot, LESS 1 C of water. I didn't use a turkey leg, only the... — Chicagoland Chef du Jour Oct 7, 2009

Cheese & Spinach Puff Pastry Pockets

Posted by bknm  

Simply divine and everything I had hopes they would be! I made these for a ladies coffee & breakfast. They were a HUGE hit. I used whipping cream and added an egg. I wanted it to be a bit more like a breakfast entree instead of an appy. I used... — Chicagoland Chef du Jour Oct 1, 2009

Cheese Souffle

Posted by blgpts  

Outstanding! We loved the flavor. Easy to assemble but takes a bit of time. I lightly buttered the sides and bottom of my souffle dish as others did. There was no problem with it rising. The top got very brown but did not burn. It looked as... — Chicagoland Chef du Jour Sep 12, 2009

Summer Memories: Jumbleberry Crumble With Shortbread Topping

My husband was looking for a "fruit crisp" from his childhood days (w/o oats) but I deduced it was really a crumble. I halved the recipe using an 8x8 glass baking dish. This is the first time I used my food processor for pastry. Super simple to... — Chicagoland Chef du Jour Aug 16, 2009
