Power Pancake

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:01:19 -0400

My friend Julie was on the Body for Life diet when she gave me this recipe. It might have come from the literature in that program. This makes a pancake for one. I used the quick cooking and have never tried it with the old fashioned oats. She topped it with peanut butter for the protein. This may be used as a breakfast or as a quick snack in the middle of the day. It really tastes better than it sounds! -- posted by dogsandwoods

Emeril's Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:11:30 -0400

I'm not claiming this is an authentic Philly Cheese Steak, I chose this to simulate my favorite cheese steak sub at Sapore di Mare. Elsewhere (and not elsewhere on Recipezaar.com) people have been puzzled why the oven would need to be preheated to 200F; why, it is only to warm up the sandwich rolls! Purists will use only Cheese Whiz, but I will always use Provolone. I love an accent of "hots" on my sub, preferably Sun of Italy "Hot Chopped Peppers"; sliced pepperoncini or banana peppers also work well. I favor sweet onions, so I added them as an option to Emeril's recipe. Also, a half and half mixture of olive oil and butter is heavenly; but if using a nonstick pan, no fat is really needed. To slice the rib-eye, pound it thin, roll it tightly and wrap in wax paper, freeze 10 minutes, then slice thinly. Personally, I would never dream of using ketchup on this sandwich, although I might try a bit of marinara sauce to make this an Italian cheese steak sandwich. Although most people would threaten me if I gave them half a sandwich, I believe that is the correct size for 1 nutritional serving. -- posted by KateL

I Love Olives and Cream Cheese Spread

What's not to love? This is an easy make-ahead appetizer that takes 15 minutes to prepare and is so yummy it will be gone 15 minutes after you set it on the table. Pitted black olives and pimiento-stuffed Spanish/Manzanilla olives make it look as colorful as it is delicious. Serve it with crackers or crispinis. I also use it as a sandwich spread...it really spruces up a plain old cold-cut or deli sandwich. -- posted by CookETC

Beer-Battered Onion Rings

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:47:28 -0400

You probably don't want to know you can make better-than-restaurant quality onion rings in your own kitchen, but these are the best onion rings I've ever had. The recipe is from Cook's Country June/July 2009 from America's Test Kitchens. Make sure you don't soak the onion rounds longer than 2 hours or they will turn soft and become too saturated to crisp properly. Cider vinegar may be used in place of malt vinegar. Use a candy thermometer to make sure the oil gets to 350 degrees. According to Cook's Country, ordinary yellow onions will produce acceptable rings but sweet onions are preferred. The beer soaking with vinegar and salt softens and flavors the raw onion. If the batter is too thick, the rings will be doughy. Too thin, and it will run off. Add the beer gradually until the batter falls from the whisk to form a ribbon trail. Fry the battered onion rings in small batches and transfer them one at a time to the hot oil so they don't stick together. -- posted by AmyZoe

What a delicious side dish to have with your grilled steak! I love cooking mushrooms when I am grilling. I can just put them on and pretty much forget about them. They don't really overcook, unless you burn them! Take your time with them if you want to. You can also cook them at a higher heat, but you really have to make sure you don't burn the garlic. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

An old secret recipe that can be used for anything! dressings for salads and slaws, or sauces for burgers! Marinate some chicken or pork in it for a nice tangy treat! If using as a marinade for chicken, I find it helps to use more EVOO than normal, it helps keep the chicken moist. This dressing will hold in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, but is best when used within 24hrs. -- posted by Chef #1315343

Daikon 'fettuccine' With Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:23:10 -0400

I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts. -- posted by JoshH347

This recipe is VERY simple but I wanted to post it anyway. In authentic Mexican cooking we have several different salsas and chiles to accompany our dishes. This one can be a tortilla chip dipper but mostly it's for fried tacos, (chicken, potato, beef etc) or tostadas. It needs to be a little runny and very flavorfull to get in all the nooks and crannies of the tacos. As long as the storage dish is not contaminated (double dipping or dipping a used spoon in it) this sauce will last a week if tightly covered. -- posted by jazzchef

I love these on hot summer evenings! They really hit the spot! Sometimes I boil the chicken in chicken broth instead of water. Sometimes I use shredded lettuce. Sometimes I use buffalo wing sauce instead of barbecue sauce. Sometimes I add avocado. Here is the basic recipe. Tweak it how you want and have fun with it! It's a fun summery recipe! -- posted by QueenJellyBean

Crab Cakes With Spicy Pepper Mayonnaise

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:04:22 -0400

I got the original recipe from Cooking Light, and spiced it up a bit with jalapeno peppers,,,,,excellent crab cake with very little binder and lots of crab meat!! Since I am from South Carolina and have lived in the low country, I am very picky about my crab cakes.... Wine note: The sweet flavor of crab is lovely with a crisp, dry white wine. One of my favorites is the inexpensive Marques de Caceres white Rioja -- posted by Dbuoy

Tangy Guacamole

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:04:09 -0400

A refreshing lemon/limey guacamole recipe that is neither too spicy nor too tangy. Great for someone who cannot handle too much spice or heat. The lemon/lime mixture will keep the avocado from browning and give it a refreshing tart/tangy taste. This is a slight variation from a recipe a Texan friend shared with me. Great with tortilla chips. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef DNA1611

Mexican Sangrita

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:44:16 -0400

A zingy way to use up the bounty of garden tomatoes and a traditional accompaniment to tequila. When you're ready for the fun, drink the tequila, follow with very cold sangrita, then lime. You can simplify the whole preparation by using canned juices, but the result won't be quite as good as when you use fresh tomatoes and fruits. Use any leftover sangrita as marinade for meat. Chilling time not included in preparation time. -- posted by Molly53

Steamed Clams With Cilantro and Red Pepper Sauce

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:19:18 -0400

I got this recipe idea from a co-worker and adjusted the ingredient amounts slightly per my personal taste. The recipe originally was indicated to serve six people, but this would not go over well in my household. DH and I usually buy a dozen clams, which we share. I have not tried it yet, but it sounds succulent. I would serve it as an appetizer or increase the recipe and serve as a main entre. -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Creamy, Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:24:17 -0400

Creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke dip with just the right amount of garlic. Can be eaten with baguette, tortilla chips, or if you're feeling naughty. . . by itself! This recipe isn't by the book, nor does it have to be, so feel free to add or subtract what you want. -- posted by Ses6886
