With the cooler weather upon us, its the time of year to treat ourselves to some of our favorite comfort foods.

My Kids Finally Ate Broccoli!

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:16:18 -0400

Roasted broccoli with a few familiar ingredients is what it took, but they ate it, liked it, and asked for more. I wish the same success for all you moms out there; that's why I'm posting. Good luck! Note: You could certainly use fresh broccoli if you have it, but I usually have a frozen bag on hand and it works great. I usually prepare these and bake at same time something else is cooking (like roast chicken). This is basically an oven fries recipe using broccoli instead. We also do this with sweet potatoes. -- posted by kc in la

Spicy Macaroni and Cheese

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:14:33 -0400

From foodnetwork.com. This is the easiest way to make homemade mac and cheese that I've ever come across...in fact I've been altering all other mac and cheese recipes to reflect the method of prep in this recipe. I make this when I've got 15 minutes to throw together a meal (not including cooking time.) It doesn't hurt that this is a REALLY tasty macaroni recipe. Can be served as a side dish, but we're veggies so we usually eat it as the main dish. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by I Cook Therefore I Am

"meaty" Meatless French Cassoulet

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:07:35 -0400

I was introduced to an absolutely fantastic Traditional French cassoulet by a very good friend. This was my attempt to replicate it for my vegetarian husband using meat substitutes for a more traditional flavor than many vegetarian cassoulet recipes. I have to say it was a great success! This is extremely delicious and very close-tasting to the real thing. If you want to make it vegan, you can leave out the cheese. -- posted by cookingkiminpdx

Baked Spaghetti

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:07:37 -0400

From Taste of Home Aug/Sept 2006. "This is a wonderful casserole for a potluck. Whenever I make it, people enjoy it, especially the men." Made for dinner tonight. It is delicious. I think the rosemary should be decreased because it is a little overpowering for my taste. And as always, you can always use more cheese if ya want! I don't believe this would freeze well, but if you try, let me know how it turns out! -- posted by Chef Skie

Chicken Parmesan Bite-Bake

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:20:28 -0400

Okay it sounds silly, right? I find it hard to fry the chicken breasts because they're different thicknesses from one end to the other. I just cut them into bite sized cubes and continue on with the recipe. My mom likes it with pasta under it, but I really just like it with a nice salad and some cheesey bread. Add as much or as little as you like; this is just a basic, tasty recipe. Enjoy. :o) -- posted by NicolinaSurel

Three Cheese Beef Lasagna

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:22:57 -0400

I used to have a great recipe for Lasagna sauce, but of course the book it's in is at my parent's winter home. I used about three different recipes to approximate it, so here's my current version. I made this for dinner the other night and it was fairly easy and very good. This recipe is written for use with fresh Lasagna sheets, the ones that aren't dried and you don't have to boil or anything. You can just as easily use the dried pasta, just boil according to the package directions and use in place of the sheets. -- posted by CoCaShe

Somewhere between a savory bread pudding and a strata, I cobbled this together from leftover bits and pieces; it's great refrigerator velcro.

Snobahr's Baked Mac 'n Cheese

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:34:25 -0500

My family adores this, and it reheats quite nicely. This is *NOT* a low-fat recipe. I use cream when I have it on-hand, or a combination of cream and milk. I use whatever cheese I have on-hand, or I will pick up blocks of cheddar and/or Monterey jack, basically anything that will melt nicely. I avoid using the pre-shredded cheese, because they have a dusting of flour to keep them from clumping in the bag, and throws off the recipe in use. Tool cleanup gets interesting, too. I also use whatever small pasta I have onhand - macaroni, rotini, shells, etc. -- posted by SnoBahr

Old Fashioned French Canadian Baked Beans

This was a staple for me growing up in Quebec and brings back many happy memories. A perfect winter comfort food!!! I have tweaked an original recipe and wanted to share it with you. Great at breakfast with fried egg and sausage. A hearty meal with crusty bread and salad. It takes some time but well worth the wait -- I hope you enjoy them. Special note: some people prefer using salt pork when preparing baked beans - I use sliced bacon instead. -- posted by Sue's Kitchen

Maple-Pecan Praline Topped French Toast Bread Pudding

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:50:15 -0500

Whenever I make a loaf of gluten free bread, I can't seem to eat all of it before it goes stale or moldy. While I could slice and freeze half, I prefer to use it for bread pudding, stuffing, meatloaf, etc. This is an excellent use for bread that is too hard and stale to eat. I would not make it from fresh squishy bread, as I think it would probably dissolve in the egg custard. The original recipe, Debbie Tate's "Make Ahead French Toast" at allrecipes, suggests 8 slices of French bread. I would assume that sourdough, old hard sandwich rolls, etc. would also work beautifully. This morning I used the last quarter loaf of bread made from Bob's Red Mill GF Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix. I would be happy to serve this for company, or Christmas morning. It is *extremely* rich - most people will be too full to finish off two helpings. -- posted by Lelandra

Wild Rice and Mushroom Casserole

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:26:29 -0500

Unable to find my go-to recipe for wild rice casserole, I adapted Creamy Wild Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole (Thank you, SarasotaCook, couldn't have done it without you). You can use fresh herbs in place of dried ones and add ground nuts instead of hemp seeds (also sold in my area as hemp hearts). I used fresh button mushrooms, but any fresh mushrooms would work. I used Newfie savoury instead of parsley or regular savory. The French-fried onions are the ones you buy already cooked. I get mine at the Indian food store where they are less expensive. This is a tasty casserole that can go with just about anything. (Also, on a frigid cold prairie night, a hot casserole on your lap will keep you warm all the way to the potluck dinner!) -- posted by MA Blossom

Christmas Eve Baccala (Salt Cod With Potatoes & Tomatoes)

Traditionally, Italians dine on seven different fish and seafood dishes (symbolizing the seven sacraments) on Christmas Eve. (By the way, you don't have to wait for Christmas to make this wonderful dish.) This recipe is typical of the Calabrian region of Italy. Have plenty of crusty Italian bread available to scoop up the sauce. And, remember to buy your dried, salted cod (baccala) three days before cooking, so you can prepare it. Buono Natale!! -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Best of all, you don't have to cook the lasagna noodles first! Feel free to adjust, such as replacing water with chicken broth, adding more ground turkey, using whole wheat noodles, etc. Also, I am a slow cook, so it may take less than 30 minutes for you to prep. (Warning: 9 WW pts per 1/8 of pan because I hate most fat-free versions of cheeses) -- posted by Squirrelette

Deluxe Cornbread Dressing Casserole (Big Batch)

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:05:12 -0500

An old family recipe that's been tweaked little by little over the last 100 years. This makes 2 large pans about 1/2-3/4 filled. To relieve holiday stress make the pre-cooked dressing the week before Thanksgiving and freeze. Use one pan for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. Begin defrosting 2 days before in the refrigerator. I split the prep process between 2 days. On the first day make the cornbread, boil the fryer, pick the meat and save the broth. The second day assemble and freeze. For OAMC split dressing into even smaller portions; may need to reduce bake time. My picture is of a smaller baked portion. -- posted by gailanng

They also like it as it is NOT cooked inside the bird, but on its own in is own pan. Easy to make, great tasting, great addition to the traditional turkey meal either at Thanksgiving or Christmas. It came from a gourmet cooking class. -- posted by Chef #1412755 - Lamber

A french-style green bean casserole minus the fried onions and using homemade white sauce with fresh mushrooms and onions. This is very similar to Kittencal's Recipe #128905 , but mine does not use water chestnuts or almonds, and mine uses Cheez Whiz process cheese instead of shredded cheddar. You can use two 16-ounce packages of frozen french-style green beans instead if you like. Use more or less cream depending on how thick you like your sauce. Yum! -- posted by Laura70

Holubsti--Ukranian Cabbage Rolls

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:45:38 -0500

I spent 18 months in central Canada, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While I was there, I fell in love with the people and the food, specifically Ukrainian and Filipino food. The cabbage rolls were my favorite, and when I returned to the US, I began searching for recipes, but could never find one that I liked. This recipe comes from me combining elements of two or three different recipes that I found. The resulting recipe is surprisingly easy--if a bit labor intensive. I included instructions to make a sauce, but, if you run out of energy, the stuff in a can works just as well. If I want to do a homemade sauce, I usually do it a day or so in advance., By omitting the meat, this can be a vegetarian dish. By also omitting the sour cream and using margarine instead of butter, it can be vegan. -- posted by CorianneW

Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:27:10 -0500

Wonderful for a weekend brunch. My whole family absolutely loves it. Lots of flavor from the onions, chives, and bell pepper. There are lots of variations of this recipe but I like that this one uses milk instead of sour cream or cream cheese which are high in fat and this one still has just as much flavor. It came from Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook that a friend got me for Christmas. I only switch the whole milk to 1 % and keep the skillet at medium-low instead of low when making the sauce. Can easily be doubled to serve more people. When I do, I use a 12 oz package of bacon and a 1 lb 14 oz bag of hash browns since that's what they usually come in anyways. Also, the easiest way to snip the chives is with kitchen scissors. So much faster than with a knife! Enjoy! -- posted by BrinaBear

It is thought to have been invented in San Francisco and named after the famous opera singer of the early 1900s, Luisa Tetrazzini. A great dish to make using Thanksgiving leftovers. A very flexible dish using what leftovers you have. -- posted by ~Rita~

Cajun Barbecue Beans

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:35:51 -0500

This recipe came from my sister-in-law and is a great side dish for any barbecue. Quick and easy to put together and you can adjust the heat to your liking. We like spicy so I use Stubb's Hot Barbecue sauce for this recipe. -- posted by PleasantNancy

Baked Sour Cream Noodles (Low-Fat)

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:41:53 -0500

A creamy, cheesy, treasure of a find from the American Heart Association's cookbook. Traditionally we would think of this as a side dish, but at 396 calories per serving I wanted to make sure this recipe would fill us up without having to add large servings of meat or bread. It did! We like it served with 1/2 of a small grilled/broiled chicken breast and steamed veggies, but shrimp would also be a nice accompaniment. I am in constant search of low-fat, heart healthy recipes that actually fill us up. So often we find recipes listed as "low-fat" or "heart healthy" and the serving size is so small a person walks away from the table hungry or we are deceived by the words "low-fat" and eat 4x what the recommended portion size is defeating the original intent. This filling dish generously serves 4. We also like a tsp or so of onion powder added to the cheese mixture. If you are not on a sodium restricted diet, feel free to add salt to taste. The recipezaar database doesn't seem to recognize the yolk free egg noodles or low sodium worcestershire sauce so I will list the Nutrition Values as stated by the AHA.

Shawarma Spiced Shepherds Cottage Pie

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:46:44 -0500

I got this recipe from a local hole in the wall Lebanese restaurant and tweaked it a bit. Best of both the sweet and savory worlds. As a time saver I keep a jar of this spice blend (Shawarma spice blend) on hand and just measure out 2 1/2 tsp of the combined mixture in order to make this recipe. For the frozen vegetables I use a combo of corn, peas, green beans and carrots. -- posted by Banriona Aeval

Homestyle Meatloaf

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:32:11 -0500

I got this recipe out of the Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School cookbook. It is now my only meatloaf recipe and my family is constantly requesting it. I did change slightly and you can change the ketchup and water to just water or just milk. The Parmesan cheese can be omitted as well. If you prefer you can use any other type of ground beef. And the original recipe called for bacon placed on top. -- posted by elieugene6

Tasty Cheddar Cabbage Gratin

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:48:54 -0500

I modified a recipe in The Joy of Cooking to make this, which suited our tastes better (and used things I actually had in the house!). I think this would even be a hit with people who don't usually like cabbage. For the "milk or light cream" I used 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half. I actually used a bag of cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) for the cabbage, so this was REALLY quick to make! -- posted by mayness

Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage (Ww)

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 08:31:14 -0500

My ds loved this and even packed the leftovers in tupperware so his girlfriend could have some! Never asked about the "meat"! If following WW this is only 5 WW pts for 2 cabbage rolls. When I made this I miscalculated the time, so I put in the fridge and the next day added 1 can tomatoes w/green chilies and some leftover WW cheese and cooked for 30 minutes or so. Although delicious this is a time consuming recipe -- the original recipe says 2 1/ 2 hours but I took 3 hours to make this plus the another 1/2 hour to reheat the next day --- so be prepared!

Food Network Nuevo Latino Chipotle Beef

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:07:00 -0500

I do the beef stew part in a crockpot instead of stockpot in the oven. I also steam the butternut squash in the microwave, but you can follow the recipe the way Food Network's Challenge winner described below. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of ground chipotle,too. -- posted by janric

Greek Chicken Casserole

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:31:48 -0500

This recipe came from my good friend Nicole. She invited us to dinner one night when she prepared it and gave me the recipe before we moved.. My family really likes it! You can add bread crumbs to the top if you like and I have even added more mushrooms and a little hot sauce to kick it up, but that's personal taste. -- posted by Chef #231057

Cauliflower and Potato Gratin (Russ Parsons)

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:52:38 -0500

A simple, satisfying vegetarian recipe than can be served as a holiday side dish or a or as a main the rest of the year. Do be sure to cook the cauliflower well to mellow the flavor. And make the white sauce a little thicker than you might think appropriate -- the cauliflower and potatoes will both give off some moisture while they bake. From the Los Angeles Times (December 23, 2009). -- posted by blucoat

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395
