Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:44:07 -0400

Adapted from a recipe from Bon Appétit, January 2005. This is one of those cakes that separate upon baking, creating an airy cake layer on top and a yummy, lemony sauce to spoon out from the bottom. My major change was to add grated lemon zest for more of that delicious lemon flavour. Serve with berries if in season. -- posted by evelyn/athens

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.

Shredded Wheat Cookies

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:48:15 -0400

This is how I get rid of our extra plain, boring shredded wheat that no one really wants to eat. They are crunchy, but still soft. To my taste buds, they fashion a taste somewhere in between peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies, but with a crunchy aspect to them, paired with a hint of chocolatey goodness. The baking time is for a couple batches, but it will vary depending on how big your oven and/or baking sheets are. -- posted by zoegirl21

Braised Artichokes With Pecorino (Carciofi Al Tegame)

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:49:39 -0400

This is a very tasty way to eat young artichokes! Thin sliced, slowly braised in a skillet in their own juices and served with a shower of soft pecoriono. This method is simple, and will yield delicious results even with larger, more mature artichokes. This makes a wonderful vegetarian sandwich or for the carnivore, a topping for a juicy hamburger. Artichokes prepared this way are also a great appetizer topped with a poached egg. Lidia Bastianich from Lidia's Italy. We are serving this as a side for one of the seders this Passover 2009. -- posted by Manami

Sparkling Fireplace Glass

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:49:45 -0400

We have a fireplace with glass doors. "How beautiful!" we thought when we bought the place. It didn't take long to figure out it was a curse rather than a blessing. They fog over with only one fire and within a week can be black and opaque. We tried many different techniques and even resorted to scraping it with a razor blade at times. I think I read this tip in a book full of similar tips. I didn't really believe that it would work but was pleasantly surprised! Cleanup has gone from a several hour affair to about 15 minutes. You can disregard the amounts... the recipe was rejected for lack of quantities originally so I had to add them to get it accepted. -- posted by Chef Tweaker

Mary Eldred's Easy Blueberry Chese Cake Recipe

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:55:35 -0400

This is a no fuss cheese cake, no spring-form pan, no water bath. Easy and pretty quick. You do need to make in in advance so it has time to chill completely. This will make a fairly thin layer of cheese cake and blueberry. You can double the recipe (not the crust part) and bake for 40 minutes OR you can bake this in a 8 or 9 inch square pan (don't double pie filling) and cook for I don't know how long - like 30 minutes. The brown spots on top tell you when it is done. Prep and cook times do not include chill times. -- posted by traveler

Amber's Dressing

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:08:35 -0400

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

Easy Strawberry Jam

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:17:35 -0400

Modified from a recipe in Good Housekeeping June, 2009. I used the no-sugar Sure-Jell for the pectin and it set up well. Over-ripe berries work best. Less sugar than regular jam. -- posted by sheepdoc

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:17:48 -0400

Fragrant golden pistachio-studded rice with moist and tender chunks of chicken infused with lemony yogurt and musky spices. This is a fabulous one-dish meal! My recipe is a much adapted one, from a Nigella Lawson recipe taken from one of her cookbooks. -- posted by BecR

My mom used to make this delicious Polynesian recipe when I was a kid. I just love the different toppings you can add to this basic coconut curry base. You can make it as spicy or as sweet as you want. -- posted by Krista Roes

Asian Chicken Salad

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:32:41 -0400

This is a delicious summer salad! If you have the time, grilling the chicken adds a nice, smoky flavor. Sometimes I add Chinese chow mein noodles for extra crunch and a small can of Mandarin oranges. A bit of crushed pineapple works well too. This is a recipe where you need to keep tasting and adding more to the dressing as needed to suit your taste. Adapted from Food Network, Paula Deen, Paula's Home Cooking. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Scoutie

Tomato Rose Sauce With Citrus Vodka Vegetarian / Vegan!

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:36:22 -0400

I love to experiment with the ingredients I have on hand. This recipe, which uses citrus vodka and coconut milk in place of cream was a big hit with my husband and I don't want to forget it. Very easy, adaptable and just so happens to be vegan- throw in other veggies or spices you have on hand. -- posted by LadyPoe

Teresa's "everybody Loves It" Meatloaf

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:43:36 -0400

This recipe is pretty easy to put together and freezes REALLY well. . . if it lasts you long enough to freeze, that is. With just two adults in my house, we usually go through the first loaf the first night I make it. The second loaf is great to warm up for leftovers, or slice and make meatloaf sammies. Yum! -- posted by T-Reed

This is a recipe from "Phoenix Home and Gardens Magazine". I like to make it once in a while for a green salad - it's delicious, healthy and so simple to make. Zest the lime a little if you want extra flavor. Adjust the cilantro to your tastes. -- posted by Garlic Chick
