Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:39:13 -0500

a great way to enjoy chicken wings without the mess. great served with celery or tortilla chips for dipping. I like to use a crock pot to keep this dip warm during parties, just mix everything up on the stove than transfer to the crock pot or you can use a electric fondue pot on warm too. If you don't want to use those then separate into small batches in oven safe dishes so you can keep the dip warm. Not sure where the recipe came from, everyone I know has their own spin for it. -- posted by Chef ChristinaMac

Sarah's Secret Recipe Refried Beans

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:11:43 -0500

I have been making this recipe for years. It is a very simple recipe and it always meets rave reviews. I prefer it with bacon fat (I'm the sort of person who keeps bacon drippings in a canister in the refrigerator), but if you don't have any on hand, or want to make this recipe vegetarian, it tastes almost as good with vegetable oil. Black beans are my favorite, but you can also make this recipe with nearly any other type of canned bean. I've used pinto, kidney, cannelli and even chickpeas. Use this as a dip or a filling for burritos. -- posted by SarahCKS

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:34:14 -0500

absolutely delicious! From my most cherished cookbook: Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites. No vegetarian kitchen should be without it. To make these completely vegan, be sure to get Chinese wonton wrappers (either from your local Asian food store or from the freezer section of a good grocery). Melissa's wonton wrappers, and other brands, typically sold in the produce section of grocery stores contain EGGS. -- posted by Chef #767224

Harissa-Spiked Houmous

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:38:58 -0500

This recipe is delicous -- for a nosh, cocktail party or just an evening snack! I love these kinds of appetizers because they don't take much time, this one is vegan -- so almost anyone can eat it. I like to serve them with Pita Crisps: preheat oven to 375ºF. Split 6 pitas hrizontally into circles, then cut each circle into 6 triangles. Lay them in a single layer, rough side up, on 2 or 3 baking sheets. Use a pastry brush to brush triangles with olive oil, then sprinkle with fennel seeds and a pinch of sea salt or instead of fennel and sea salt use Mrs Dash salt free seasonings. For example: Table Blend, Original or Garlic & Herb, these have a flavor all their own -- try it you might like it. These can be made about a week ahead, just store in airtight container. -- posted by Manami

This looks not so attractive but is very addictive and everywhere I take it people beg for the recipe! Serve this with sliced and or small squares of frech bread. Its not a dieters recipe, greasy but FABULOUS!!!! I cut bread pieces up and place them back in there bag. Set the bag next to dip for easy access and the bread stays soft and fresh this way also. SO GOOD! Hint: If you like this you can make this and put it on a pizza crust. SO good that way too. -- posted by Mandy ny

Onion Ring Sauce

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:26:38 -0500

Teochew Fried Chicken

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 09:00:08 -0500

This recipe is from my late grandmother, who passed it down to my mother. And since my mother eyes the ingredients, I never quite got the exact amounts that would make it as perfect as my mother's. Used to make this all the time in college in large batches, reheating it in a toaster oven and serving it with a salad or white rice for a quick dinner during the week. Should've written down the amounts I had put in, but never got around to it - please post the amounts that work for you.

Joan's Ultimate Appetizer

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:15:51 -0500

This is my mother's appetizer that I upgraded to match my tastes. It is a very fast and easy recipe that will always be polished off at parties. It is best served warm so keep it covered, even better covered with warmed cloth napkins. This recipe does not do well reheated as it dries out in the oven or gets mushy in the micro. Please use "bacon bits" or the cheap version. Real bacon lacks the salty crunchy flavor that the bacon bits have. I have tried all the versions of brand name and non for the ingredients and really it doesn't matter so this can be a cheap appetizer if you need it. (don't try black pepper or chili powder, it does doesn't work!) -- posted by eveningtech
