Steamed Broccoli

Posted by cooking_geek  

My aunt gave me a similar recipe at Christmas and I won't prepare my broccoli any other way! I'll sometimes add a flavored butter to give it a little extra flavor, but this is an easy way to prepare one of my favorite veggies. And you are right,... — Novice Gourmet :) Mar 25, 2009

I've been eating this stuff for years and finally had to look up the recipe. Best snack ever! Now I can make it and stop describing it to the unlucky few who've never tasted it. — Novice Gourmet :) Mar 18, 2009

Cream Cheese Pickapeppa Appetizer

Posted by Clarebear  

This was my childhood "pate" when the grown ups were eating the good stuff! I serve this to my girlfriends when we get together, it's a hit!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see it online. I love it with good, hearty crackers, such as cracked wheat. — Novice Gourmet :) Oct 17, 2008

Easy Way Lasagna

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

I made this recipe as a surprise for my boyfriend. I used this recipe as my first try for a lasagna. It came out great! I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and I always go heavy on spices (garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasonings).... — Novice Gourmet :) Sep 22, 2008

This is the recipe my mom's boyfriend and one of my uncle's uses, very tasty! Super easy, also great for the grill. I like to use the barbecue sauce from The Salt Lick in Austin (available in some Texas grocery stores). YUMMY — Novice Gourmet :) Mar 27, 2008

Tzatziki

Posted by spatchcock  

INCREDIBLE! I made this weekend for my very Southern family who usually won't eat anything too exotic. Went great with Spanikopitas that were served. I'll definitely add this to my usual list of "snacks" to keep around. Will probably make with... — Novice Gourmet :) Mar 17, 2008

Baby Pacifiers (shower Favors)

Posted by Parrot Head Mama  

I LOVE THESE! We make these for every shower in our family and can color them according to the theme/sex. They're especially fun for games like "Don't Say Baby". And the kids always try to steal them and eat them. Thanks for posting! — Novice Gourmet :) Mar 10, 2008

I have this same recipe, and found it in our local paper a while back. I love it, and often make it with Turkey Italian Sausage. I also add a few extra spices and red pepper 'cause I like a little kick! — Novice Gourmet :) Feb 28, 2008

Sausage-stuffed Jalapenos

Posted by Hey Jude  

I had these at a Superbowl Party this weekend and HAD to look this up to make for myself. They were delicious! I love spicy food, and these were not spicy, so that kind of dissapointed me, but the zing of the pepper with the creamy sausage filling... — Novice Gourmet :) Feb 5, 2008

Neiman-Marcus Butter Cake

Posted by Miss Annie  

Being from Dallas (home of Neiman Marcus), this is a very popular recipe and I've had this cake at almost every church function or potluck at work. As one poster stated, it is EXTREMELY sweet, and it's best to cut into tiny squares. It's a GREAT... — Novice Gourmet :) Jan 25, 2008
