This is easy to put together and makes wonderful side dish to ham or turkey, this may be doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch pan, do not make the mistake of using pineapple tidbits it will not work for this recipe use only crushed --- if using unsalted butter or margarine add in a pinch of salt if using salted then omit. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Sauteed Apple-Pumpkin Oven Pancake

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 19:59:26 -0500

Rustic Apple Tart

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:46:35 -0500

This recipe hails from British Columbia, Canada. It is from the website if the B.C. Tree Fruits Limited company. "Who doesn't love baked apples and cinnamon? They are an irresistible combination especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This rustic apple tart is simpler to make than a pie. You don't have to be neat and fussy with the crust, just simply fold it up over the apples however you please leaving the centre open. The chopped pecans toast while the tart is baking which gives them a buttery taste and help to make the tart look very rustic." http://www.bctree.com/recipes/archive/apple-rustic-tart.php -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Sweet Potato Balls With Vanilla Rum Sauce

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:22:08 -0500

I got this recipe from Paula Deen, play around with it some, and added my own concoction of a vanilla rum sauce- Mmmm. Now Paula makes them with giant marshmallow, I prefer the smaller ones (it's a little more work, but it's a better ratio of potato to marshmellow, and they're bite sized!) These are for those people with a bounce-me-off-the-wall-with-all-the-sugar-I-just-consumed sweet tooth. Not for the faint of heart. Blow away your in-laws during the Holidays with this gem. Or stab them with a toothpick, and you've got an awesome hors d'eurve on your hands. -- posted by Super-Wife

Pumpkin Pie Play Dough (Non-Edible)

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:45:38 -0500

Source: FamilyFun Magazine Quote: "Your little one might not be old enough to bake holiday desserts, but they can still celebrate the season with this pumpkin-inspired play dough. In honor of the beloved fall fruit, we dyed the dough orange and added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to it, which makes it smell -- but not taste -- good enough to eat." -- posted by Mom2Rose

Quick & Easy Gourmet Corn Muffins

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:12:05 -0500

I wanted a corn muffin recipe I could double and triple easily to bring to our Thanksgivings this year. Finances are tight so I wanted to make something that tasted and looked more expensive and gourmet than it really was. I remembered having some delicious gourmet corn muffins at a breakfast a few years ago with real corn kernels that were very sweet and moist and I wanted to make that deliciousness for everyone else. They turned out wonderful and picky DBF requested I make them again. Major compliments everywhere. A definite crowd pleaser!!!! (and very simple per Jiffy box). I recommend doubling the ingredients to make 16 because these are yummy and disappear fast! :) I made 5 batches for thanksgiving so $2.15 for the 5 Jiffy boxes $1.00 for the eggs (and I had extras to make breakfast for days) $1.50 for the cans of creamed corn and I had milk, honey, and spices on hand. I spent about $4.65 for 40 yummy corn muffins so not too shabby! I guess I'm sort of the "Frugal Gourmet." lol -- posted by Kikiloveshercop

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:38:57 -0500

This healthy revision of green bean casserole skips the canned soup and all the fat and sodium that come with it.

45 Minute Roast Turkey (Mark Bittman)

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:23 -0500

Another great recipe from Mark Bittman. Its almost a given that time and oven space are at a premium on Thanksgiving Day, and this method of roasting turkey, unorthodox as it is, addresses both. Split, flattened, and roasted at 450°F (lowering the heat if the bird browns too fast), a 10-pound bird will be done in about 40 minutes. Really. It will also be more evenly browned (all of the skin is exposed to the heat), more evenly cooked (the legs are more exposed; the wings shield the breasts), and moister than birds cooked conventionally. But it works only for relatively small turkeys. -- posted by blucoat

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:00:09 -0500

The magazine has a Thanksgiving Planner & the recipes that can be made ahead of time; thus saving some time.;) Humble ingredients like puffed rice cereal (transformed into a brilliant topping) and graham crackers (crushed with hazelnuts to yield a tender crust) are the core of this surprisingly luxe dessert.

This recipe is from my sister. Our family requests them every holiday season, and it wouldn't be Christmas without them!

Rootin' Tootin' Roasted Roots - Roasted Root Vegetables in Paper

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:00:55 -0500

An easy to throw together recipe that I made to accompany several meals over the Festive period this year. The trick for these roasted roots is to cook them en papillote (in a paper parcel) for the first 30 minutes - almost oven steaming them, before opening up the paper and allowing them to brown and go crunchy and crispy around the edges! Sprinkle them with sea salt, cayenne pepper and freshly ground black pepper before serving them in the paper on a flat plate. You can also make smaller individual parcels for full dining impact!! Use whatever root vegetables you have to hand. The vegetables listed in this recipe are the ones that I used for the last few times of cooking this dish, but I can see possibilities of many more veggies, especially when they are in season. You can reduce the fat content in this recipe by adding just a teaspoon of olive oil and putting the vegetables in a zip-lock bag with the oil, then give it all a good shake, I went FULL fat throughout Christmas and the New Year period! However, I think now the diet is back on the agenda, I will roast these the low fat way! -- posted by French Tart

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:41:16 -0400

This corn casserole recipe is almost identical (at last) to the traditional Jiffy corn mix, sour cream, etc recipe that my family has made for years. Upon diagnoses of celiac disease, this was one of the first things I decided to try and replicate while converting it to gluten free ingredients....and I think Ive got it!! Since we never make this casserole just for my family, many non-celiacs have tried it as well and cannot believe it is Gluten Free!

Cinnamon-Swirl Pumpkin Rolls

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:38:10 -0400

This recipe is from King Arthur Flour and is a delicious fall twist on cinnamon buns. And, they are somewhat healthier because they contain some whole wheat flour (and a vegetable!). The dough is very easy to handle and rises up beautifully. These would also be good with a cream cheese icing. Dough requires a total of at least 2 1/2 hour rising time (if you use liquid milk instead of dry, you may require slightly longer rising time). You can make the dough the day before. Just let them rise for about 30 minutes, wrap them up, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them rise a bit more and warm up, unwrap and then bake. -- posted by blucoat

Autumn Maple Pecan Layer Cake With Penuche Fudge Frosting

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:08:20 -0400

This wonderful cake recipe is an adapted one from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. The penuche fudge frosting is an old Southern recipe.

This cake freezes beautifully, just allow the cake to defrost completely before filling and frosting the layers. I recommend Canadian or Vermont maple syrup and Georgia or Texas pecans, but you can use any pure maple syrup and could use walnuts, although we prefer pecans in this recipe. -- posted by BecR

Gorgeous spiced pumpkin scones with honey butter - what a treat for the tea-time table during autumn and winter. I have made these twice now and love the combination of the honey butter with the scones, although they are also delicious with plain unsalted butter. This recipe came from an Australian "Olive" magazine that was sent to me, apparently, Queensland is famous for its blue pumpkins where this recipe originates from - I added the spices as well as the honey butter! A wonderful recipe for the cooler months, but as it uses tinned or frozen pumpkin, these can be made all year around. If you don't want to serve these with the honey butter, just split them whilst warm and spread with normal butter or cream. Mixed spice is a British spice mixture, I have a recipe for this on RZ: Recipe #266688 -- posted by French Tart

Honey-Glazed Carrots

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:44:18 -0500

Carrots taste better with honey, so much so, that you won't even have to encourage the kids to "Eat your carrots, they're good for your eyes!" And, research shows that cooking carrots actually increases the antioxidant value in them. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:58:12 -0500

A decadent recipe from Melissa Clark of the New York Times that combines the cheesy gooiness of a casserole with the custardy richness of a soufflé. Makes a satisfying vegetarian main dish (for 10) or a delicious side (for 16) for Thanksgiving or another special occasion. Recipe can be halved or even quartered.

Coconut Ice - Old-Fashioned Sweet Shop Coconut Candy

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:49:09 -0500

A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum's recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum's recipe originated either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Cranberry Blondies

Blondies were my favorite cookie bar as a child. My grandmother made them the best! Here is a modified version of her recipe, which I adapted to use up some of the mega-bag of fresh cranberries that I bought at Costco. I think she would have liked these. -- posted by Susiecat too

Ruth Reichl's Sweet Potato Pie

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:44:18 -0500

A simple and delicious pie from Ruth Reichl's memoir, "Comfort Me with Apples". It's great as is and is also a very flexible recipe that you can adjust to your preference. You can substitute brown sugar for white, omit the rum or use bourbon instead, or increase the vanilla or spices. Recipe can be doubled for a deep-dish pie. (The cooking time will be nearly doubled as well.) -- posted by blucoat

Cranberry Salad

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:45:07 -0500

Not your typical canned cranberry jelly that grandma used to serve. Thanks to my mother-in-law for this recipe. The nuts are optional and mostly change texture, not taste. If you can't find cranberry Jell-O, use two raspberry and one cherry. -- posted by Michael Wodnicki

Buttered Pecan, Cranberry and Apricot Sausage Stuffing Loaf

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:49:04 -0500

A wonderful stuffing recipe for your turkey or indeed lamb, beef or game birds - this is baked in a bread (loaf) tin and looks very impressive when turned out, as well as being easy to slice and serve. It can also be served as an alternative type of "meatloaf" with salad, pickles and chutneys........or even better, in sandwiches. I have also made this as a vegetarian option, leaving out the sausage meat and adding more breadcrumbs to the stuffing loaf. -- posted by French Tart

Baked Bacon-Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:38:59 -0500

I've seen other recipes for these little indulgent treats, but they cook them in a crockpot and I prefer to bake ours. Baking them in the oven allows the bacon to crisp, the liquids to be released from the Smokies, and the brown sugar to caramelize on them deliciously. It also allows to you control the fat content of them a bit more easily, as most of the bacon drippings will remain on the sheet pan after cooking. We usually make them during the holidays, but they're good for all year 'round, of course. So easy to make! -- posted by Julesong

Pizza Frita

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:15:20 -0500

This has long been a family tradition as an appetizer during the holidays. It's not the most healthy of foods, but is healthier than many other fried dough recipes out there since it's quick fried, and soaks up a lot less of the oil it's fried in. This is a recipe that's always a pleaser, and quite tasty when dipped in some sugar, or even by itself. The anchovy paste variant is my favorite. It doesn't taste like anchovy at all - instead it has a quite pleasant flavor, and almost omits the need for sugar dipping the finished product. -- posted by Obsidian468

Leftover Turkey and Leek Pot Pie With Instant Gravy

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:03:53 -0500

This is MY much adapted version of Jamie Oliver's Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie! I made this with left over Christmas turkey this year, and it was so delicious and went down a bomb with my family and friends! A new Jamie Oliver recipe that he showed on his Family Christmas show this year and one that is so clever, as this pie makes its own gravy! I have left out adding the chestnuts and sage to the pastry as he suggests, I will try it sometime in the future though, as it sounds a brilliant idea; I have added this option at the end of the recipe however, for those who want to try it that way. Serve this with mashed potatoes and the extra gravy in a gravy boat on the side. Here is what Jamie says about this pie: "This is dead simple, completely versatile and absolutely gorgeous. Its not a pretty-boy pie; its a proper, old-school pie that everyone will be over the moon to see on the table. Im putting leftover white turkey meat to good use here, but you could also mix brown meat in there too." I agree, all of my family and friends were over the moon to see this on the post Christmas table, I bet it tastes great with chicken and ham too. NB: he original recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people, mine is perfect for 4 very hungry people! -- posted by French Tart

Crispy Everything Kale Chips

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:33:27 -0500

Kale a Super-food that your Children will eat as a snack or a side. Or the Guys to enjoy as chips during the game. If you have leftovers try them tossed in a salad, soup, pasta, rice, in a sandwich..... One cup of raw kale contains 15% of the recommended daily value of calcium and Vitamin B6, 40% of the magnesium, 180% of the Vitamin A, 200% of the Vitamin C and a whopping 1020% of the Vitamin K. Also loaded with sulfur containing phytonutrients which have been shown to protect against many kinds of cancer. So don't just garnish with it! It does your body GREAT! -- posted by ~Rita~

Most Awesome Apple Pie in the Whole World

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:32:08 -0500

This is my great-grandmother's apple pie recipe. It has a delicious crumble topping and just enough spice. The pie is better (obviously) with a home-made bottom crust. I use the "most incredible no fail pie crust" recipe also available on recipezaar. It's really not that hard and you can make it a week ahead of time and roll it out when you need it. Prep time does not include making pie crust. -- posted by lauren losefast
