Mon, 08 Apr 2002 15:30:27 -0400

This is a great method for roasting garlic, so it can be ready when you start cooking in the evening. I've even done it overnight and started cooking in the morning. Roasted garlic goes great with mashed potatoes, on pasta, or simply spread on crusty bread. -- posted by Mirj

Persian Tahdeeg (Rice and Potatoes)

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:16:06 -0400

This is my daughter Nomi's all-time favorite way to eat rice. My friend Debbie, who is married to a Persian, makes this for her every time we're over at their house for a meal. I figured I was going to have to learn to make this myself, since Nomi just adores this rice and asks for it every time. It's a little complicated, but gets easier each time you make it (says Debbie). Well worth the effort, I'm a big fan of this rice myself, and EVERYONE always fights over the crust! Prep time includes soaking. -- posted by Mirj

Baked Mexican Bananas

Tue, 13 May 2003 20:00:35 -0400

I don't eat bananas often, even though I love them. When I do have bananas, they have to be very special, and I promise you, these babies are very very special! Try serving them over vanilla frozen yogurt, or with an intensely chocolate ice cream. -- posted by Mirj

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

Spicy Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummous

Fri, 04 Jul 2003 19:59:48 -0400

Lorraine's Luscious and Lovely Limoncello

Wed, 08 Oct 2003 20:01:07 -0400

My friend Lorraine B gave me this wonderful recipe when I was looking for an interesting hostess gift. One of the best things about this recipe is that it only takes one week to infuse, as opposed to up to a month that I've seen in other recipes. I actually made a quadruple recipe and got 6 bottles to give as gifts (I kept one for myself, of course!). At last night's preliminary tasting (2 hours after bottling) I can tell you that this is a very refreshing tipple! I'm also going to try this with oranges this winter. -- posted by Mirj

Cinnamon Apple Crisp

Curried Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Milk

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 18:17:29 -0500

I found this recipe on a site that was promoting an Asian-flavored Thanksgiving. Even though we don't really celebrate the holiday per se, we adore sweet potatoes and we love Indian cuisine, so why limit ourselves? The original recipe called for yams, but I subbed in the sweet potatoes. Feel free to re-sub the yams. I also adapted the recipe a bit to tailor it more to our family's tastes. -- posted by Mirj

Perfect Pea Soup (For All the Men in My Life, and the Women Too)

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 11:40:28 -0500

I can't believe I didn't post this one earlier since this is one of the few things in the world that ALL the men in my life love--DH, my sons, my father--and most of the women too. I have a hard-to-please crowd here at home, and they ALL ALWAYS eat this, and drain the pot to the end. On top of that, it is just about the easiest soup to make of all time, and very forgiving if you need to make modifications. You can multiply it to serve massive quantities of people, and it freezes perfectly. It's cheap to make, it's easy, and it's comforting. What more can we ask for? Let me know what your crowd thinks.... -- posted by Sarah Chana

Candied Orange (Or Grapefruit or Lemon) Peels

Easy Chocolate-Dipped Apricots (Apricot Chanukah Gelt)

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:52:02 -0500

This is a quick homemade candy delicacy that can also be used as a tastier take on Chanukah gelt, inspired by a recipe in Martha Stewart Living. I used Ghirardelli bitterwsweet baking chocolate bars. After you make the chocolate-dipped apricots, read up on how to play dreidel and use the candies in place of coins. These morsels make a great gift for any occasion. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Cranberry Applesauce - No Sugar Added

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:56:59 -0500

This is a vividly pink, wonderfully tart cranberry applesauce. Makes a great condiment for savory foods such as meat or potato pancakes, and also wonderful when eaten alone. It has no sugar added, thus it is VERY tart (which I love) - If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (I like Braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (Granny Smith, for example). -- posted by What's Cooking?

Vegan Gingerbread Cut-Out Cookies

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:23:25 -0500

This egg-free and dairy-free recipe for a chewy gingerbread cookie is from Sarah Kramer's cookbook, "La Dolce Vegan!" (2005) and reprinted in today's local paper. For vegan frosting, use five parts icing sugar to one part water, blending until thick. or you can use chocolate peanut butter spread. Dough must chill for 2-4 hours. (While baking the first batch, return the dough to the fridge to chill it so dough doesn't stick to the rolling pin. Allow cookie sheet to cool before reusing.) -- posted by blucoat

Mujadarra

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:33:09 -0500

This is a fantastic lentil dish. In my quest to find healthier food that my family liked and would actually eat, I decided to try this recipe. It was demonstrated on T.V. by Ali Sabbah from the Mazza Cafe, a Jewish restaurant, in Salt Lake City. My family just ate this up, even my picky five year old boy. I had to post it before I lost the recipe. -- posted by bluesagegirl
