Mon, 12 May 2003 20:00:13 -0400

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

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting

I got this recipe from Rachael Ray. She suggests using it to top gingerbread cupcakes (made from a mix) and then garnishing it with shaved crystalized ginger, but it would taste great on all sorts of other cupcakes, muffins, and desserts! It yields enough frosting for 8-10 cupcakes. If you use soy cream cheese it's dairy-free. -- posted by Kree

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

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). I made a few changes by adding celery, and adding 3 more cups of broth (because we don't like soup that thick). The original recipe called for 5 cups of water. I used part water and part chicken broth. -- posted by luvmybge

Very Moist Banana Nut Bread

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 19:59:49 -0500

This is a very easy, "no mixer" bread to make. It is very moist and a little heavy type banana bread. The really important thing to remember is using all black bananas to get my same results. I always use 5 medium sized bananas and this recipe makes 2 loaves. Also, I've never used buttermilk, but sour milk instead..a little vinegar added to regular milk. I've used this recipe since 1972 and last year made 32 loaves to give away for Christmas! It's truly a wonderful bread. I only bake it until the toothpick comes out almost clean, as we like it really moist. If you over bake it, or wait til the toothpick is completely clean, the bread will be a lot dryer. I realize some like it this way, so thats why I've given this hint. My family and friends would rather have it a little under done than over. It's so good with coffee, butter/jelly or I like mine just plain. I bake it in tin foil pans and it freezes wonderfully. I try to always have one or two in the freezer for company, or a little gift. This recipe came from a ladies club cookbook. The kind where everyone contributes recipes, they are made into a recipe book and sold to make money for charities. All the cooks are just plain "down home" country gals that produce miracles in the kitchen. It's my favorite cookbook and I've almost worn it out and it can't be replaced. I know there are many banana bread recipes here, so thanks for trying this recipe. I hope you enjoy it! -- posted by peppermintkitty

Whipped Ricotta With Honey and Mixed Berries

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 20:36:44 -0500

Cool, refreshing, pretty and wonderfully appetizing. Originally, Bon Appetit - 2001. We added cream cheese to the ricotta to make this a smooth, luscious dessert.Why not use this with cranberries for Thanksgiving? Haven't done it as yet but why not? If you can find fresh ricotta, which is less grainy, then use it and omit the cream cheese. Can be made 1 day ahead, keep refrigerated and stir before using. It is very easy - time involved is refrigerator time. Update...03/2006 Serve with Amaretti cookies, coarsely chopped and add 3 tbsp. Amaretto liqueur. -- posted by Manami

Kittencal's Buttermilk Poultry Brine (For Chicken or Turkey)

Mon, 22 May 2006 19:34:16 -0400

You may never grill, fry or bake chicken again without using this brine first, it will produce the most flavourful juicy moist chicken you will *ever* have, it's a must for chicken and turkey breasts, and makes the best fried chicken on this planet! Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinade in the buttermilk brine for a minimum of 8 hours or up to 24 hours. This brine is enough to cover about 4 pounds chicken pieces. You can double the recipe and use it on a small whole turkey also, the cumin is only optional, if you are not a lover of cumin then you can omit but it really brings out so much extra flavor without being overpowering.... you will *LOVE* this brine! also see my recipe #225220 and recipe #148225. -- posted by KITTENCAL

This is so easy and taste just like lemon pie. I gave my neighbor some squash and she in return gave me this recipe. I made it and my dh loved it. One large yellow squash is enough for two pies.

Farmhouse Fresh: Orange - Rhubarb Pie

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:15:10 -0500

Nearly every farmhouse in Wisconsin has its own rhubarb patch; ours is nestled between the clothesline poles, along with tulips and daffodils. Rhubarb is LOADED with healthy nutrients--finding a delivery system is the trick (sugar helps!). Time noted does NOT including cooling time after the pie is baked. -- posted by Debber

Rotisserie Turkey

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:36:45 -0400

To properly grill a turkey using a rotisserie the unit must be positioned so the heat source is never directly under the bird. The indirect heat will allow the interior portions of the meat to cook thoroughly before the exterior becomes overdone. Preheating must be done before rotisserie grilling your turkey. A 12 to 14 pound bird is the maximum weight that can be accommodated on a standard rotisserie unit. The turkey must be attached securely to the spit assembly making sure it does not slip on the spit as the rotisserie rotates. The turkey must be trussed properly so the wing and legs don't get caught as it turns. The turkey must be balanced on the rotisserie unit for if not it will not turn and burn out the motor. A turkey intended for rotisserie grilling can not be bread stuffed. The slower cooking time may not kill harmful bacteria as rapidly as with oven roasting. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer before removing the turkey from the heat source. -- posted by ~Rita~

A potato salad Serbian style. It is an oil and vinegar based salad rather than the creamy style more common in North America. Cooking time doesn't include the chilling time because it is up to you how long you want to chill it. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Asparagus Shandong Style (Liang Ban Lu-Sun)

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

A specialty of Shandong province, this dish is traditionally reserved for banquets because asparagus is so expensive in China. But here in the United States, when the price comes down in summer, take advantage of this flavorful dish. Saveur Magazine, August/September 2008 We made a version of this but as it was it would have been way too spicy for our residents. -- posted by Manami

Penzey's Tomato Basil Green Beans

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:14:38 -0500

This recipe is from a Penzey's catalog from several years ago. It is also very good with dill instead of basil, and I plan to try with oregano next time. Be sure to use plum (roma) tomatoes which are meatier than other types. Also, the cooking times are for whole green beans; I buy a big bag of frozen whole tender young beans at a warehouse club or Trader Joes. I have reduced the amount of oil to 1/4 cup from 1/2 as originally written, based on a review and my own preference also. -- posted by appleydapply

This recipe is from Whole Foods. It's refreshing in the summer, but great for the holidays, too, because of the spices. It's very quick and easy, but make it well ahead of the time you want to serve it so it can chill. -- posted by appleydapply

Fresh Basil-White Bean Hummus

This Italy-inspired hummus is a recipe I created in celebration of my bountiful basil harvest. Did you know that basil has natural antidepressant properties? For me, that's just one more reason to put it in everything! -- posted by Prose
