Wed, 06 Apr 2005 18:32:16 -0400

Bayou Carlin Coleslaw

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 13:51:55 -0400

I have no idea where the title for this recipe came from... it's a very tasty no-mayo cole slaw and goes well with just about everything. The celery salt and dry mustard make it just a little different. -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Not Your Grandma's Three Bean Salad

Thu, 21 Apr 2005 16:43:26 -0400

This isn't even remotely like the usual sweet and sour salad... this one has feta cheese, tomatoes and yes, three types of beans, in a light lemon juice vinaigrette. It's from one of those "bargain bin cookbooks" at a big chain bookstore and it makes a great vegetarian main-dish type salad. -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Chet Atkins' Coleslaw

Tue, 31 May 2005 13:34:24 -0400

A delicious, simple mayo-free cole slaw, from an classic guitarist! I like to add just under a teaspoon of finely minced or grated onion to this; but sometimes it's nice to have "as is". The amount of hot sauce can be adjusted, but I like it just like this. -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

4th of July Grilled Salmon or Chicken!

Tue, 14 Jun 2005 13:37:47 -0400

A friend of mine made this at last year's 4th of July celebration, and after much begging and groveling, shared this super-easy, fun, and VERY yummy recipe, which you can easily double or triple for a big crowd! The cold left-overs (if any) the next day are FABULOUS! TRY THIS WITH CHICKEN!! Grill 4 Chx breasts 4-5 min ea side, then finish in 350 degree oven in covered pan with butter & olive oil for +/-20 min. OH! MAGNIFICENT (great sandwiches w/tomato, cream cheese, and avocado). -- posted by Pèllerin

Danielle's Mexican Layer Dip

Sat, 10 Dec 2005 13:39:45 -0500

This dip is so easy to make and everyone loves it! At every potluck, if I don't bring it, my invitation is immediately revoked! A good friend made this one night for a 'girl's night' at her house. I adjusted the ingredients a bit, and the rest is history. I like to make this the night before so the flavors have a chance to develop. The dip is thick and will break your chips, so it's best spooned onto a plate to enjoy! -- posted by danielle washington

Chinese Five-Spice Chicken Wings With Cilantro Sauce

Wed, 18 Jan 2006 13:21:50 -0500

Chef Dave Lieberman of the Food Network says of this recipe: "As much as I love the classic, tangy wings, I have to say these are right up there with them. These couldn't get much easier either. All I do is rub the wings all over with a hot Chinese five spice rub and bake them in a really hot oven." -- posted by Adopted Parisian

Easy Elbow Macaroni Salad

Sat, 20 May 2006 14:51:21 -0400

Can be made ahead, kid friendly, quick and easy. I got this from a pasta website. Nice to make for a BBQ or summer side dish. It's a crowd pleaser! For a full 1 lb. (16 oz.)box of pasta, just double the recipe. I usually make this with regular mayo and milk since that's what I have in the house. -- posted by Oolala

Mexican Pasta Salad With Salsa

Mon, 22 May 2006 21:19:20 -0400

Very different from the other pasta salads already posted here. Got this from makesameal.com. Very simple to make with few ingredients. You could get creative and add more ingredients like corn, beans, and olives but this is a good base. Nice for the warmer weather. We loved this. I used Miracle Whip, which I like better in this salad, and 2 cloves garlic for mine. Mild salsa goes down better with my kids but use a stronger one if you like. -- posted by Oolala

Artichoke Potato Salad

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 16:27:09 -0400

This potato salad is a nice change of pace from the ones containing mayonnaise. This goes really well with BBQ'd foods and the nice thing is you don't have to worry about it so much in hot weather because of the lack of mayo. I leave the skins on the potatoes because I like the contrast and flavor...you can peel or not, whatever you want. This is one I adapted from Taste of Home. -- posted by Hey Jude

Herbed Potato Salad With Bacon and Peas

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:54:29 -0400

Red, White and Blue Jello Shots

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 18:35:12 -0400

Happy 4th of July! This will make enough shots for your party or barbeque. (About two cookie sheets full.) You can always experiment from here depending on if you have any other liquors in the house. Cook time is chill time. EDIT: I've edited this to improve the coconut shots. Also, Jello has started to make "Limited Edition" Pina Colada flavored jello which is perfect for the white ones. It comes out in a cream color and you'll only need to add water and liquor. -- posted by Panthur

Cherry-Red Raspberry Pie

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 12:51:07 -0400

I watched the National Pie Championships held by the American Pie Council on TV last night and had to look this recipe up today! It was torture watching the judges eat this delicious looking pie! They raved about her crust as well. This pie won "Best of Show" for Phyllis Bartholomew. In fact she pretty much cleaned up in all the categories. It looks pretty simple and clear-cut, I guess this is a good example of less is more. Her recipe uses canned sour cherries, but if you wish to substitute fresh sweet cherries, you can always reduce the amount of sugar and add a little lemon juice to taste...it should work fine with this recipe. This pie is extra pretty with a lattice top. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Corn and Bean Salsa

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 10:57:24 -0400

My mom brought this recipe home from Bunco, raving about it. I was skeptical, but she was right--it's fantastic. Now I get asked for the recipe when I make it for parties. This is best when it's made a day or two in advance so that all the flavors get a chance to mingle. -- posted by anonymous23

Sweet Tea Chicken

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 16:41:21 -0500

I'm from the South. Plain and simple, I love all Southern food. When I came across this recipe, I had to put it in my files because it just sounded Southern. I will admit, I haven't tried it yet because I just came across it not too long ago, but it is on the docket for the next time I have an important dinner guest. This was the introduction on the site (and I can't remember which one it was) where I found this. "John Fleer is a thinking man's chef, a onetime doctoral candidate in religion who chucked it all for a career in the kitchen. One of the best ideas to spring from his mind is this brined chicken, which manages to pay tribute to the traditional South of days past and the multicultural South still on the horizon." -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Cucumber Dill Pasta Salad

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 22:59:42 -0500

There are lots of pasta salad recipes here but I don't see this particular variation. I love dill in most anything and combined with cucumbers and pasta, it's tart/creamy comfort food to me. For even more color & crunch, radishes could be added for another twist. You may need to adjust the mayo and sour cream amounts - I don't really measure it so I've guessed. I start with a large dollop of each then add till I get the texture and taste that I want. Update: Thanks to the first reviewer for finding my typo with the salt; it has been corrected. -- posted by SusieQusie

Garlicky Olive Oil Potato Salad

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 23:16:22 -0400

This is very good, a refreshing twist to the traditional salad and a lot healthier than recipes full of mayo and sour cream. I found it on the blog "Amy's Humble Musings," where it was labeled as "The Very Best Potato Salad in the World." Red potatoes or thin-skinned Yukon Gold potatoes are really nice. It's better when it sits for a while, like most potato salads, and this recipe makes plenty for a crowd. -- posted by A Messy Cook

This is so much better when made with cabbage and potatoes straight from the ground.

Red Pepper Hummus Deviled Eggs

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:26:40 -0500

Hummus is one of my favorite foods and I also love deviled eggs. So, when I saw this in a flyer handed out for the 'Summer Fresh Hummus' company I wanted to jot it down. You could surely use the discarded yolks for something else so it doesn't feel wasteful. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Bacon and Horseradish Deviled Eggs

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:23:51 -0500

Come on,you know that sounds good! I developed these after attempting to overcome an addiction to bacon and horseradish dip I developed on my recent trip to the States. You can even make these vegetarian by using the Bacos bacon bits that are made out of soy instead of the actual bacon. The recipe can be scaled up pretty easily for bigger crowds. Also, this is one of those times when I am not totally clear on how to translate an ingredient from UK to US. I used what is called 'horseradish sauce' here in the UK. Which, I remember being somewhere in between prepared horseradish and horseradish cream in the States. So, I put one but you can probably use either. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

4th of July Triple-Layered Savory Casserole

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:23:18 -0500

From Family Favorites Cookbooks by Readers Digest, c. 1993. THREE LAYERS OF YUMMY - VEGETABLE, MEAT & PASTA! This dish is a crowd-pleaser at a 4th of July celebration or at a pot luck supper. Can substitute ground turkey or veal for the ground beef. For serving, use a clear, ovenproof dish to show off the layers of the vegetables, beef, and macaroni. This casserole can be assembled a day ahead and kept, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator until ready to bake. -- posted by NELady

Baked Creole Potato Wedges

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:04:04 -0500

I just received my swap package from PanNan, my partner in the annual herbs and spices swap. She included creole seasoning in the package and I decided to try to do something with it and this is what happened. They went down pretty well with my guests. If you like things particularly spicy you could go with a bit more of the seasoning. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Loaded Potato Chip "nachos"

Tue, 05 May 2009 17:00:31 -0400

Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats. She adapts the nachos concept, using the flavors of loaded baked potatoes. Use a good, sturdy, thick-cut kettle-cooked potato chip for this. -- posted by DrGaellon

Spanish Roasted Tomato Salad

Sat, 09 May 2009 00:11:29 -0400

A simple but lovely way of serving tomatoes. This would go nicely with a Spanish tortilla and even as part of a tapas meal. I found the recipe on the Orce Serrano Hams website. Caster sugar is simply superfine sugar. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

The Best Shrimp Ceviche!

Mon, 11 May 2009 17:37:04 -0400

This recipe is the result of many trials of different recipes and techniques. For me this is the perfect shrimp ceviche. I use a precooked shrimp that is about twice the size of a cocktail shrimp. This size of shrimp can be somewhat difficult to find, I purchase mine at Costco in 2lb bags in the frozen section. -- posted by Chef #633934

The Best Cowboy Beans

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:25:26 -0400

These are the BEST! I've been making this recipe for over 20 years now, and it's always a HIT with my family and friends! Great for BBQ's, potlucks, camping etc. Can be made in the oven or in the crockpot, and it freezes and reheats well. -- posted by BecR

Farro Salad

This refreshingly sweet salad is a tasty culinary delight. Yes you can use barley in place of the farro. But try to get it. It is so chewy and yummy! -- posted by ~Rita~

Chris' Awesome Salsa

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:34:35 -0400

My friend Chris is a tupperware consultant and they taught her to make this salsa and in turn she taught me. It's so much better than store-bought. You can adjust the ratios to suit your taste, this is medium heat -- posted by GingerlyJ

Crab Salad Stuffed Shells

Quency's Pasta Salad

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:59:14 -0500

This recipe came from a girl I knew named Quency. She said it was a family recipe. I always make this for bbq's and pot lucks. It is a big hit! This makes a very large quantity of salad. I usually mix it up in a foil roasting pan so I don't have to worry about having a big enough bowl or remembering to bring my bowl home. -- posted by ~Sherry~
