Chocolate Mascarpone and Strawberry Tart

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:56:30 -0400

This tart is sure to be a success at your next Summer gathering! This tart is extremely versatile and easy to make. The crisp Nilla Wafer crust adds crunch to the fluffy chocolate cream filling. Topped with strawberries and drizzled chocolate, everyone will be asking for more. -- posted by CoreyMB

Zwetschgenkuchen (Bavarian Plum Cake)

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:23:56 -0400

This is a traditional fresh plum cake, thought to have originated in the town of Augsburg, Germany. It is made with fresh Italian prune plums which are at their peak in late summer. Perfect for the afternoon coffee hour. Serve at room temperature, with a dollop of fresh whipped cream! -- posted by BecR

Grilled Pound Cake Sundaes

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:26:42 -0400

Grilled pound cake with pineapple, fruit, and ice cream. A good no bake recipe for hot weather. If fresh pineapple is not available use canned pineapple slices, drained, 2 per serving. Substitute any fresh fruits in season. For a no-grill option, broil pound cake and pineapple separately on a rack set 6 from heat source until lightly browned, turning once, 1 or 2 minutes per side. Instead of cooking spray, use additional melted butter to coat pound cake slices. The original recipe from Woman's World magazine called for serving with caramel topping and dulce de leche ice cream. I skipped the caramel topping and served it with French vanilla ice cream. -- posted by foodtvfan

Banana Almond Date Soy Smoothie

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:54:39 -0400

This vegan smoothie is amazingly rich, creamy, filling, and healthy. It has a nice texture to it from the almonds and a natural sweetness from the banana and dates. I like that there is no refined sugar added or any animal products, all good for us and the planet. I like using a frozen banana to make the drink cold, but room temperature works well too. If you want to freeze bananas, peel them before freezing. Peeling frozen bananas doesn't work! And place them separated in the freezer so they don't freeze together. -- posted by Chef #1363287

Healthy Tiramisu (No, Really!)

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:59:19 -0400

Low fat tiramisu that will impress your guests all the same. Serve in individual wine glasses with long teaspoons. If desired, the ingredients can be tweaked to suit individual tastes e.g. add nuts, increase sugar etc. Don't be intimidated by the long list off instructions, they are mostly to detail how to put the tiramisu together. Can be made a day ahead. Enjoy! -- posted by the_allergic_chef

Blueberry Lavender Pie Filling for Canning

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:36:50 -0400

Enjoy a taste of summer in the middle of the winter with this easy canning recipe. The following is for one quart jar, which easily fills one pie. Multiply it to use as many berries as you can get your hands on. I also add fresh lavender flowers since I've got a great local lavender farm, but if you do, please be careful to use them sparingly as they can quickly overpower the berry taste. If you are unsure on how to use lavender, read up online first. *DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CLEAR JEL*! This is important. You probably won't find it at your local grocery store, but you can easily order it online. I found mine at a specialty candy and cake decorating store. -- posted by PDXChef

Gourmet Garlic Mojo Hot Dogs

Mojo is a cuban sauce made from the juice of sour oranges (or, in this case, a mix of orange juie and lime juice). It's atruly versatile- the sauce works as a marinade or salsa for beef, fish, pork, and poultry--so no wonder it tastes great with hot dogs, too. from Bon appetit. -- posted by College Girl

Kiwi, Strawberry and Grape Juice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:44 -0400

I got this recipe from 'The top 100 juices' by Sarah Owen, published by Lifetime Distributors, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "All three fruits in this juice provide a massive infection-fighting boost of vitamin C and can help to shorten the duration of a cold. The kiwi fruit a also contain lutein, a phytonutrient known to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disease. Both strawberries and grapes are high in ellagic acid, which neutralizes carcinogens. The tannins, flavones and active compounds in the grapes combine to make them energizing and strengthen the cell walls of blood vessels" You could make more than one serving, and serve with lemonade and ice in a punch bowl for a party if desired. I haven't made this yet, as I don't have a juicer, but if I ever get one, this will be the first juice that I make. Enjoy! :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Whole Wheat Pancakes With Blueberry Compote

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:00:10 -0400

This is a refresh of a Wholeliving.com recipe. Martha Stewart's gang opts for low-fat buttermilk, but I never have that on hand so I trade in 2% milk or vanilla soymilk -- depending on what's in the fridge.The added wheat germ supplies some potassium and iron (it has more than any other food). I also add a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I love it) and cut the whole wheat flour with some all purpose flour so they don't taste too "nutty." To make the compote, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries -- up the lemon juice for more tartness and up the sugar for more sweetness. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Famous Fresh Blueberry Pie

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:47:59 -0500

I live in Florida and it is difficult to make a non-runny blueberry pie due to the humidity, but this recipe is perfect. I got this recipe through trial and error of 5 different published recipes. The filling is dense enough so that little loose liquid is present, but you still feel like you are biting into whole berries when you eat it. This fixed my problem of getting a pool of liquid in the bottom of my pie shell. I recommend using only fresh blueberries. Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Regarding the crust, the store-bought frozen crusts did not work properly for me. They either didn't bake on the bottom or resulted in an overflow of pie liquid into the bottom of my oven. I recommend the Pillsbury brand rolled pie crust dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store (by the biscuits/crescent rolls). These bake nicely, are easy to work with, and have an appropriate amount of moisture. Of greatest inspiration for the filling was from http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php -- posted by MerryD

A beautiful lavender jelly that will awaken your senses and delight your tastebuds with pleasure! Wonderful served at Afternoon or High tea with scones, puddings, or cream.

Very appealing to the eye and even better; easy to make and fun to eat. A great way to celebrate fruit so have fun and mix and match. You can even have fun with the "crust," try using sugar cookie or even choc chip cookie dough instead of the pizza pie crust. No matter how you personalized this recipe it's sure to put a smile on everyones face! -- posted by Chef #1544785
