Dress It Up: Deviled Eggs

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:43:54 -0500

It's not even Easter, but I boiled a bunch of eggs so I had an excuse to prepare another one of my favorite naughty foods--deviled eggs. This is a simple recipe, but very good. I have to confess, I never bother with a piping bag because deviled eggs never last long enough for me to look at. I don't have the patience to make them pretty--I just want to eat them. It's kind of like, why bother making the bed when I'm just going to get back in it? Recipe courtesy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Comfort Food. -- posted by AmyZoe

Peachy Fruit and Yogurt Shake

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:51:15 -0500

I adapted this from Better Homes & Gardens Diabetic cookbook. I have changed a few things. They say in the testing kitchen, they discovered if they added a little vanilla extract to the shake, they didn't need a sweetner. Feel free to add a little honey or sweetner if you feel it needs it. If you partially freeze the banana and yogurt, you can leave out the ice. -- posted by Sharon123

Yellow Turnip Soubise

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:34:28 -0500

I don't like many vegetables. I try to find lots of creative ways to make them taste better, so I can have a balanced diet. Rutabaga's( yellow Turnips) are high in vitamins and lower in carbs than potatoes and so make a great substitute in many things. They also combine with onions and rice in this simple recipe to make a rich, creamy soup that is high in nutrients and low in fat. I found this recipe in "Recipes 1-2-3" by Rozanne Gold. -- posted by Ames0325

An Unusual Borscht

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:05:11 -0500

An combination of beets, squash, and yogurt makes a sweet yet savory soup that is quite filling. Slow roasting the vegetables takes quite a bit of time but is well worth it for the intense flavor it gives to the borscht. In a pinch I have substituted buttermilk for the yogurt and it worked well. -- posted by Ames0325

Garlic Butter

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:14:51 -0500

This is as simple as it gets. We keep a pot of this in the fridge and also take it camping so we can have easy garlic flavour for all our dishes. Use it in pasta, soups or for super-easy garlic bread. The salt in the butter keeps the garlic from going bad and we have successfully carried this bike touring in hotter climates (up to 25C during the day) for a week. The butter melts during the day in these conditions but reforms at night when it's cooler. -- posted by Sackville

Almost Companion Bread's Baked Eggs

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:10:20 -0500

Companion Bread in St. Louis makes the best baked eggs I've ever had. They have several versions in the cafes and have posted the potato version that inspired this recipe at http://www.companionstl.com/baked-eggs-potatoes/. My version came from an effort to lighten it up by not using cream. I also made a few changes based on personal taste and what I happened to have in the house when I decided to give this a whirl. -- posted by Karen67

Grilled California Avocado Salad

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:52:53 -0500

Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large Haas avocado averages about 8 oz (here in Miami - our avocados have a tendency to be a bit larger). Adjust the the quantity accordingly. This is easy, tastes great, & has that WOW factor! It is an elegant first course that combines with baby greens, a spicy salsa and a delicious herbed goat cheese. Provided by the California Commission with a couple of tweaks. -- posted by Manami

Brussels Sprouts in Soy Sauce

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:23:17 -0500

My wife and I love Brussels sprouts and this is our favorite way to prepare them. It's our own creation and so good that I'm amazed I have never seen a similar recipe anywhere. The flavors of the sprouts and the soy sauce seem made for each other. The recipe is quick and so simple that it can be thrown together as a side vegetable any time sprouts are on hand. I always use Tamari soy sauce, but anything you have on hand will do fine. And I always use olive oil, but butter or another vegetable oil would be fine if you prefer. -- posted by Cowshill

Creamy Butternut Squash and Spinach Gratin

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:38:37 -0500

I just got back from a quick trip to Miami, Fla. and had something very similar to this at a restaurant called Captain's Tavern. It was so good, I had to try to find the recipe. Here's one gleaned from Gourmet magazine, Nov. 2006 via Epicurious. Enjoy! This is one big casserole, but at the restaurant it was in individual dishes. You may add the cheese between each layer or just use it to top, or leave it out if you prefer! On the website, this has 92 wonderful reviews! this is even better the next day. You can half this recipe and cook in a 9x9" pan. This is so good, serve to company and for the holidays. This recipe calls for slicing raw squash but to make it easier to cut, microwave for 3-5 minutes, or lightly steam or bake and then cut in pieces. The recipe says it will serve 8-10 people but some said it served 12! -- posted by Sharon123

Make Your Own Single-Serve Vanilla Yogurt

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:05:44 -0500

Although it lacks the portability of something like Yoplait, Dannon, Stoneyfield Farms, etc. it's a good alternative if you like a cup of yogurt with breakfast. Most are 6 oz instead of a full cup, so I decided to use that measurement instead. Except for when I can get them really cheap or need to carry them to school or work, I think I'll use this method to make vanilla yogurt from now on. No HFCS monkey business here! -- posted by the80srule

Nothing like the awful boiled cabbage you remember from school! Cabbage is very good for you, as it contains anti-oxidants, vitamin C and all sorts of other things.

Simple Brandy Cream Sauce for Ravioli

I'm on a cream sauce and ravioli kick right now. This is a simple sauce to make. It doesn't matter what kind of brandy you use; you can also sub gold rum although brandy gives it a richer taste.

This salsa is cool with a tangy twist, made using similar ingredients to the classic Italian sauce salsa verde. It is a perfect accompaniment for barbequed fish. -- posted by English_Rose

Barbecue /Bbq Mushroom and Green Bean Salad

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:45:47 -0500

This salad serves 8 as a side dish & is delish! It tastes of earthy goodness. The photo you see is of half the recipe + extra spinach. I prepared the mushrooms in a frying pan for convenience' sake and served the salad with a baked potato. Next time, I think we'll add some garlic to the marinade. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Eggplant Pizza

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:34:21 -0500

In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto. -- posted by California Girl in Brazil

Barbeque Deviled Eggs

This is the Neely's spin on a great Southern tradition. The sweet, tangy flavor of the barbecue sauce blends surprisingly will with rich, creamy egg yolks. Topped with thinly sliced scallions, these eggs are perfect for a picnic, a party, brunch or dinner, not to mention game nights! -- posted by Sharon123
