Pumpkin Dumplings

Fri, 25 Apr 2003 20:03:14 -0400

Here is a nifty little side dish. It's inexpensive and really quite easy to prepare. Plus, they can be boiled in advance and sauteed just before serving. These little dumplings are kind of like spaetzle and would go nicely with anything grilled. You could also combine them with any number of sauces: tomato, cheese, etc. I hope you enjoy them! -- posted by Normaone

Scallops with Leeks and Lemon Butter Sauce

Fri, 25 Apr 2003 20:03:32 -0400

I love scallops! Serve these as a nice first course or a light main dish. The cook time does not take into account that some things can be done simultaneously. -- posted by Normaone

Gazebo Cheese Soup

Wed, 07 May 2003 20:05:35 -0400

A simple and elegant cheese soup. This year I served it with my Easter ham. I got this fabulous recipe from my mother-in-law who served it for Christmas Eve dinner. It is a lovely company soup-- rich and creamy with a nice apricot color, which looks great with the dark portobellos scattered on top. Definitely a "lick the bowl" type of soup (if no-one's looking, of course!). Great as leftovers, but not so good to freeze b/c of the cream. -- posted by Frau Frau

Tapenade Sauce

Thu, 15 May 2003 20:05:43 -0400

Chocolate Caramel and Pecan Pie

Thu, 15 May 2003 20:06:05 -0400

This pie is quick and easy to put together. It's also yummy and rich, but not so rich that it wouldn't benefit from a scoop of vanilla ice cream ;) -- posted by Normaone

Lemon Cookies II

Thu, 15 May 2003 20:07:48 -0400

I love these with a cup of tea or with a scoop of sorbet. The yield depends on the size of cookie cutter you use. Chill time for the dough is not included. -- posted by Normaone

Brined Pork Roast

Sat, 17 May 2003 20:02:19 -0400

Brining is a technique that is makes the roast more juicy, by making possible the accumulation of juices within the meat during cooking. The proportion of salt to water must be 1/3 to 1/2 cup per each 2 quarts of liquid (or 2/3 to 1 cup of salt per gallon), in order for this transformation to occur. The sugar balances the flavors; the herbs and spices have only a very subtle impact on the flavor of the finished dish. *Cooking time for roast is not included as this is determined by the size of the roast! -- posted by Tish

Lamb - Rib Roast Dijon

Thu, 22 May 2003 20:00:33 -0400

When selecting Lamb Racks (rib roast), allow at least 3 ribs per person. Racks are usually sold 6 to 8 ribs per roast. This recipe will have to be adjusted logically to accommodate more than two people. Serve with roasted root vegetables, rice pilaf or mashed garlic-potatoes. Suggested wines - Sauvignon-Shiraz or Sauvignon-Blanc (or both). For dessert, I would recommend a lime gelato, to aid digestion; or skip dessert and have another bottle of Sauvignon-Blanc and a selection of cheeses and fresh fruit. -- posted by TOOLBELT DIVA

Fresh Fruits Flambe

Thu, 22 May 2003 20:03:03 -0400

A delightful after dinner dessert, this fruit flambe can be spooned over ice cream or enjoyed just as it is. Danaka's Palace in Toronto developed this recipe in honour of Canada's greatest Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Mr. Trudeau visited Danaka's Palace frequently, whether in an official capacity, or just in town to attend a theatre. I am far from being a famous politician, but I do attend theatres frequently. This particular recipe has a permanent home in my collection of "fast and easy to prepare"; my guests enjoy the selection of fruit used to produce this dessert. Increase the recipe logically to serve more guests. -- posted by TOOLBELT DIVA

My dad always makes this for the Holidays and we all love it! I have never made it myself for fear of doing something wrong- it may take a few tries to get it perfect (I wonder how long it took my dad...) Use whole milk for this one- It makes the rice nice and thick! Mmmm...I can't wait until the Holidays are here again! -- posted by Bec

Flower Ice Bowls

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 20:06:24 -0400

Talk about presentation! These gorgeous frozen floral bowls (edible!) are recommended for cold soups, particularly fruit soups. But I figure anything cold would be more than enhanced by these bowls. You can make a bowl for each serving or one big serving bowl. Recipe discovered in "Cooking Fearlessly: Recipes and other Adventures from Hudson's on the Bend" -- posted by Seebee

This is the ham I use for the big holidays. Everyone looks foreword to it. My secret is that it's so easy. I pour the extra sauce in a small dish and use it for the ham--or my favorite is to pour it on homemade mashed potatoes. It's a VERY sweet sauce! -- posted by Bri22

It starts with easy packaged biscuit mix and makes a beautiful breakfast, brunch, or gift. The finished braid looks much more difficult than it is and is always well received. You can change the jam to whatever flavor you prefer (someday I want to try it with a cheese danish filling, too...mmmm!) -- posted by winkki

Stock your pantry ahead of time to whip up this delicious satisfying soup. It comes together quickly for a nice meal. I got the recipe from Southern Living Magazine (Carol Michael Hewett, Texas).

Celebration Spiced Baked Ham With Orange and Marmalade Glaze

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 01:46:27 -0400

A delectable sticky glazed ham cooked in spiced cider and with a tangy marmalade glaze! This is one of my most requested recipes from family and friends - I have been cooking and preparing this ham for about 20 years now; it is wonderful for celebrations and festive gatherings! You can increase the quantities and weight with ease, although I have given the minimum ham weight here. The "boil before baking" method gives you a moist and flavourful ham with a sticky glaze, and just a hint of spices. A couple of "musts", do use good quality high fruit ratio marmalade, and if the ham is smoked or heavily brined - do soak the ham joint overnight or for up to 24 hours, in cold water - it disperses the excess salt. This ham makes a wonderful centrepiece for any special meal; however, it is also a wonderful and very economical way of providing two more types of snacks or meals - ham sandwiches, plus the ham stock makes a delicious base for all types of soups, especially ham and pea soup! I have stated oranges for the decorative finish - but clementines or tangerines would work very well too. -- posted by French Tart

Easy enough for a beginner who has never baked a cheesecake! This reduced fat recipe has half the fat of comparable cheesecakes! If you can, make this one day ahead, the cheesecake is so much better after has fully chilled for a day. -- posted by Brooke the Cook in WI

Chicken Cordon Bleu Salad

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:21:21 -0500

It's a little bit of work, but totally worth it. I like to do the chicken ahead of time, then warming them in the oven. These things are also good separately added to the salad. I've used leftover chicken that I've shredded, then added some ham and swiss. I then would use the cornflakes as a crispy topping. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Sure to become one of your favorites. -- posted by BecR

Raspberry White Chocolate Cake With Lemon Buttercream

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:27:35 -0500

Sweet, buttery, lemony goodness! This is a decadent, impressive cake for special occasions or just because you love someone! My hubby requests this for Valentines Day and anniversaries. I made it for my moms 70th birthday celebration. Its that special. But its easy to make, too. The only tricky part is splitting the 2 cake layers into 4. Even if you dont get it done perfectly (and my layers are sometimes a bit uneven), it will still look and taste great. The cake layers and frosting are from two different Cake Mix Doctor recipes. I put them together with the raspberry filling. Dont even think about ruining the cake by using raspberry jam with seeds. -- posted by appleydapply

Victorian Spring Posy Cake for Easter or Mother's Day

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 03:11:13 -0400

One of my recent cake inventions - a standard Victoria Sandwich Sponge with a few delicious additions! Fresh oranges and lemons, lemon curd, crystallised violets and mascarpone cheese make this basic sponge cake moist and special enough for the Easter Sunday tea-time table, or for Mum on Mother's Day! I used lemon curd for the icing, but orange curd would also work if you wanted a mellow flavour. I have a recipe for crystallised violets on Zaar, Recipe #216296, and if you don't have any fresh violets, use any sugar paste flowers or cake decorations that work for you - the object is to make a Posy of flowers! This makes a big cake with one layer, you can cut the cakes again and make a three layer gateau if you wish. This cake disappeared quite quickly, but if you have any left, it keeps EXTREMELY well in a tin for up to one week. The sponge cakes can be frozen before icing, cutting back on time if you are going to be busy for the special event. -- posted by French Tart
