Kate's Italian Tomatoes

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:31:53 -0400

Simplicity! I always serve tomatoes with steaks to help the B vitamins digest. For years, I have heated a can of Italian plum tomatoes with a little Italian seasoning and a sliver of butter. Last night I used the remaining San Marzano plum tomatoes from another recipe and decided my U.S. palate would have welcomed a teensy bit of sugar. My brothers liked these better than the breaded stewed tomatoes MDM used to make (she exclaimed, "I SAW WHAT YOU DID!"). I serve these in their own bowl. -- posted by KateL

Italian-Style Chicken and Rice

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:28:41 -0400

I'm not really sure why it's Italian Style, lol, but I heavily modded this from a recipe in 'The One-Dish Bible.' One dish, under 30 minutes to prepare and cook, the kids will eat it, and it's protein-heavy. Score! -- posted by CheekySweetie

Chinese Pork & Vegetable Stir-Fry

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:32:21 -0400

Everyone in the family loved it. I love the tang of the orange juice with the zip of the soy sauce. Do not use frozen vegetables you can't drain them well enough and they tend to get mushy. I used Pork Tenderloin for this recipe. Recipe can be found in Lipton Secrets Classic Recipes . If you want the veggies a little more tender then cook to your liking. -- posted by Proudmoms

Southwestern Corn Risotto

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:43:07 -0400

Authentic Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:36:39 -0400

Some people think that New Orleans cuisine is Cajun cuisine. It isn't. It's Creole cuisine, where most sauces and gravies are prepared with tomato. To delight in true Cajun cuisine, one must travel west of New Orleans into Acadiana, where, in my opinion, the food is much better! Just be sure that you like spicy, because most of it is highly seasoned. My mother taught me how to make Gumbo. I usually make enough to freeze in portions so that I'll always have some on hand. Potato salad is traditionally served as a side dish.....oh, and of course, some good, crusty, garlic french bread to sop up the juice. :) -- posted by Irishcolleen

Easy Pita Turkey Tacos

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:13:00 -0400

An insanely easy to make turkey and pea combination packed into fresh pita pockets. Regardless of the smoky taco seasonings, this quick meal has a distinctly Mediterranean feel. I came across this recipe the day after I learned to make pita bread. I had some things lying around and decided to throw some things together. I got the pita recipe from Cooking with Just Four Ingredients bu Joanna Farrow. This can easily be tweaked to suit your personal tastes. It could also be served over rice and is DELICIOUS mixed with a simple mac and cheese. You can also use store-bought pitas to take out most of the work. I am TOTALLY unsure of servings. I apologize, but I live alone and usually don't prepare food at their intended serving size. Prep and cook time is for pita bread. The filling takes about 15 minutes. -- posted by Andi Panda

How To: Make Sunny Side up Eggs

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:38:49 -0400

After making perfect roasts, fish, rice, and pasta using the cook-off-of-heat method, I tried it on sunny side up eggs with perfect results every time. A lid is necessary for this recipe's method, and a clear lid is helpful. This is now my go-to snack when I want fast comfort food. After seeing fellow college dormmates make rubber sunny-side-up eggs, I figured posting my method on Zaar might be a good idea to spread the joy of lovely sunny side up eggs in all its runny-yolk glory. Always add salt only right before cooking or after cooking eggs, because salt will start the coagulation process prematurely. In the case of sunny side up eggs, the salt particles will cause the area it's touching to cook faster during the time in the pan, so it's best to leave the salt off until the egg is ready to be served. I love this draped over a slice of bread - simply heaven. -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Smoked Mozzarella and Greens Penne

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:44:46 -0400

Tart greens and smoky cheese with pancetta. Sinful yet full of vitamins. I read this recipe in a book a few years ago. I don't remember the book or if the portions are the same. What I know is that I make it often and it tastes yummy. Good with Italian sausage too! -- posted by Munki

Lamb Shanks With Verjuice

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:09:22 -0400

Pub Patties (Burgers) With Horseradish Sauce and Cress

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:10:54 -0400

Entered for safekeeping, From Every Day with Rachael Ray, June/July 2009. If only the Wimpy burger I tried long ago had been anything like this! This is very British with horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and watercress (although the British prefer cress sprouts, which are tinier and have excellent flavor, but in the U.S. you'd be lucky to find watercress). Personally, I love the bite of horseradish with my beef. -- posted by KateL

Baked Macaroni & Cheese

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:15:58 -0400

Here's a classic mac & cheese recipe given to me by my (would-have-been) mother-in-law many years ago. It has become a family favorite, and I get asked to make it nearly every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It makes enough to feed a small army! It's best to use block cheese and grate it yourself, to get the best cheese flavor. Leftovers can be easily cut into squares, wrapped with wax paper and frozen. Then just take one out and nuke it for a great side to go with a sandwich. -- posted by Chef #1299589

Sweet & Sour Sprouted Mung Beans

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:52:57 -0400

This is an Indian hearty dhal (lentil soup) from the state of Gujarat, that was taught to me by mother-in-law. The preparation requires some planning, but the results are excellent. Two notes: 1) the original dish was meant to be 'Saatvic' (a type of Hindu food considered pure), which usually means no onions or garlic, but it is tasty both ways and; 2) the recipe calls for jaggery, which can be bought in a local indian grocer, but sugar works almost as well. -- posted by Meera

Vegetarian Skillet Lasagna

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:26:05 -0400

I developed this recipe from a Pillsbury Hamburger recipe book, adapting it to make without meat. This is a fantastic recipe because it only uses one skillet so you will have minimal clean up and keep the kitchen cooler. Note: This calls for lasagna noodles, but I have made it with elbow noodles if you would prefer, but they tend to cook less evenly and take longer. -- posted by zephanie

Patio Pancakes

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:52:08 -0400

Boy, these are some of the best pancakes I've ever had. They do have quite a bit of butter in them so it's wise not to let them cook unattended. They are quite rich, light and fluffy. You don't need to grease your non-stick pan. I don't think they need that much syrup, I didn't use any butter aside from what was called for in recipe. All 4 members in my home love them. I made these two times in 2 weeks and froze enough for 6 meals. The recipe says you should get 24 pancakes I got 29 both times. If it looks watery don't worry it will be fine, I was so freaked that I did something wrong. I rechecked the recipe and I didn't do anything wrong. So I left it alone and cooked them and the pancakes turned out fantastic. Cooking time approximate. Recipe is from McCall's practically cookless cookbook 1965 -- posted by Proudmoms

Easy Noodle Soup

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:25:27 -0400

This is a very easy recipe that I came up with one afternoon. Its half way between a soup and a pasta, great for kids who say they don't like soup. I use Ham but you can substitute it for chicken, tuna or a meat you normally use. For larger servings just add about 1/2 cup of pasta for each extra person. Enjoy! -- posted by yoshi_pizza

This recipe is the only vegetarian dish I've been able to get my family to enjoy - and they really enjoyed it! Since sweet potatoes are so hard to chop up raw, I go ahead and boil them ahead of time until they're just tender enough that I don't need a chainsaw to get through them. Non-vegetarians can feel free to add 1/8 pound chopped sausage and/or ham with the onion in the first step. -- posted by Alexander Mar

This is a culmination of spinoffs from several different recipes. They were so yummy, I had to write it down.

An impressive appetizer or wonderful light dinner. Even my anti-vegetable 6-year-old ate them! -- posted by SandwichQueen

East Meets West Vegetable Soba Stir-Fry

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:34:50 -0400

I came with this one afternoon whilst in the mood for a stir-fry & the taste of soy. I used butter instead of oil to give it a creamier, almost cheesy taste that still allows it to maintain its Eastern background, but with an Italian perk. It can easily be doubled & you can add tofu for more protein & bell peppers for more of a zip. -- posted by SamiBTX

Sour Cream and Chive Potato Salad (With Dill!)

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:03:08 -0400

Potato salad is versatile. You can play around with the ingredients, so dont let anything stop you. This is a Party Size recipe, but can be easily halved. I prefer peeled potatoes, but if you prefer unpeeled red potatoes, thats perfectly ok and it sure makes a prettier potato salad! -- posted by Ayah al-Ramy

Pan-Seared 5-Spice Tilapia W/ Hot-Orange-Ginger Sauce

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:07:57 -0400

Spice rubs are the perfect way to jazz up mild-flavored fish and poultry. This rub - a blend of spices, herbs, salt, sugar and oil - transforms into a falvorful crust when cooked. Here we brushed the tilapia with a combination of Chinese Five-Spice Powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and oil. A purchased blend of Chinese Five-Spice Powder or one you have made is great - either one will work. CuisineAtHome.com: Issue 73 February 2009 edition. With the sauce - vary the amount of red pepper flakes to adjust the heat of the sauce to your liking. -- posted by Manami

Pork Fillets With Dark Cherry Sauce

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:08:50 -0400

This recipe makes a very elegant entree, but it is easy to make and fairly inexpensive. To keep the fillets from losing their shape, tie a piece of kitchen string around them while cooking, then cut and discard before serving. Make sure your skillet is hot enough to sear the fillets before adding them....this will ensure that they come out moist and tender! From Southern Living. -- posted by breezermom

This is from Southern Livings Editors Choice Recipes. It is a one dish meal, and though written with shrimp, also works well with crawfish tails or diced cooked chicken breasts. Note: Fresh whole nutmeg can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 years. -- posted by breezermom

I came up with this one when my Husband requested Chicken Alfredo for his birthday and wanted it homemade! I hope you enjoy, it's a huge hit with family and friends. The sauce can be made ahead of time, and reheated when you're ready to pour it on the noodles. -- posted by jkm.11.18.

Baby Bok Choy - Authentic Chinese Recipe

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:17:14 -0400

My mother taught me this basic technique for several vegetables. It can be used also with broccoli and gai lan for example. The result is a crisper texture at the end. The only unauthentic part of the recipe is using garlic salt instead of fresh garlic (but you can easily substitute back!) -- posted by MyraMedstudent
