Fig Fluden

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:58:06 -0500

A fluden, which comes from fladni or fladen, "flat cake" in German, is just that, a flat, double-or often multilayered flaky pastry filled with poppy seeds, apples and raisins, or cheese. It was originally common to southern Germany and Alsace-Lorraine, later spreading east to Hungary, Romania, and other Eastern European countries. Often flavored with honey, it was eaten in the fall at Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot and is symbolic, like strudel, of an abundant yield. Figs were often eaten in Germany as the new fruit on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Great served with whipped cream or powdered sugar, or topped with walnuts (could affect POINTS values). -- posted by senseicheryl

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:07:40 -0500

I started with the basic back of the chip bag recipe and have modified it until I ended up with this final recipe. The cookies will be slightly chewy, but crisp on the edges for dunking. This recipe makes about 10 dozen cookies. I put the dough in wax paper and freeze in 1 dozen size rolls. Just remove the paper, slice the cookies, and bake straight from the freezer. -- posted by asmilliken

Milk and Soy Protein Free (Mspi) Ice Cream

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 01:41:22 -0400

This recipe is a great substitute for regular ice cream and couldn't be easier to make. You can substitute any flavoring that suites your fancy. I've made chocolate from cocoa powder, strawberry, strawberry-banana, peach,and maple-walnut. The coconut flavor enhances the other flavors and isn't very noticable. There is more than enough sugar in the cream of coconut but a little honey might add a nice touch. -- posted by Chefro

Food Processor Chocolate Ice Cream

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:49:29 -0400

No ice-cream machine needed! I just made this tonight, it's really very simple with only stove top and food processor to make. The taste ranks right up there with dairy queen soft serve!! No need to go out and buy extra ingedients, this is made with just what you have in the house! Rich dark chocolate taste that any chocolate lover can appreciate. I can't wait to make this again with a few additions, chocolate chips, cookies, candy bars, the list is endless with this recipe. Next time I make this, I will chop the freezing mixture up during freezing time. I had quite to time trying to chop it up to put in the processor. -- posted by cherrycola

Instant Blender Strawberry Ice Cream

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:44:31 -0400

The hardest thing about this is waiting for it to freeze, this also works using other fruit such a blueberries, peaches etc but the fruit must be frozen when added to the blender, thaw just slightly and enough to chop the whole berries, cooking time is freezer time, use sweetened berries for this --- this may also be done in a food process with good results -- posted by KITTENCAL

A delicious and simple snack or dessert that can be left raw or baked in the oven. It is also completely sugar-free. Select raisins that are moist. If the only raisins that you can find are dry and hard, try soaking them for a few hours. Note: It makes a really good granola if it ends up too crumbly.

Chocolate Sticky Date Pudding With Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:26:30 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Super Food Ideas, September 2008 (#1 Australian food magazine). Leftover cake and sauce can be saved for up to 3 days: store cake in airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerate sauce in an airtight container. Whiskey is an optional ingredient. I have tried to give U.S. equivalents of measurements. Double cream is the name in Britain for a very rich cream containing 48% butterfat. Whipping cream in this country, by contrast, contains between 30% and 40% butterfat. Single cream in Britain is comparable to American half and half (and may also be called pouring cream), with between 10% and 12% fat. I am guessing that spreadable mascarpone will yield a similar rich creamy taste to finish off this dessert. -- posted by KateL

Healthy Banana Peanut Butter Pudding/Topping

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:44:35 -0400

I had a tin of chickpeas that needed using up and decided to experiment, so I pureed them with banana, peanut butter, honey and cinnamon and they tasted great! They're nice on their own, or as a topping for oatmeal, ice cream, stewed fruits, or whatever you want. I like them with stewed rhubarb, for some reason the combination's amazing. Play about with it and see that you think! -- posted by Rainbow*Bubbles

Energy bars like Larabars are expensive ($1.75/bar) to buy. But you can easily make them using healthy ingredients. I made mine into small bites, vs. a bar. You can vary the ingredients using chopped dates, dried cherries or raisens or whatever dried fruit you have on hand. Yesterday at Costco I bought dried spiced apples and cranberries for under $3. I also buy my dried blueberries at Costco. Enjoy! -- posted by Jan Marie

I am always looking for ways to use blueberries when they're in season, and this one is a special summer treat! It's old-fashioned comfort food, with the candied ginger adding a sophisticated twist. My family was shocked at how good it was with so little sugar and fat (recipe from Cooking Light).

Scandinavian Style Almond Paste

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:40:59 -0400

This is a wonderful almond paste to use in recipes like scones, pizzelles, almond cookies, and other pastries but is optimal for those itty bitty Danish almond cakes. I got this from a cooking magazine a few years ago. My version calls for 2 tbsp butter but you might want to up it to 3 if you find that it's not a good consistency or almond-to-butter ratio. If you don't have almond extract at hand (because you're like me and are too poor and/or lazy to buy a bottle), vanilla extract will work too. Also you need a food processor for this! -- posted by the80srule

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:06:29 -0500

Okay so this is just an ordinary cheesecake with a little twist. I remember this recipe because my manager and I was trying to figure out how to make a cheesecake unique and great.

We werent exactly sure what would taste better and what would make the cake smooth or etc. So we came up with this! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! You will need a Springform pan or if you dont have won, just use a 9inch round pan with foil paper. Make sure to wrap the whole pan with foil! As for toppings, you may use anything you like. Whipped cream Strawberries or blueberries or cherry or any fruits Strawberry or chocolate syrups. Any syrups to your liking. Almonds, walnuts, pecans...

Best Rum Balls (America's Test Kitchen)

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:23:00 -0500

This recipe is from Christoper Kimball of Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen. It makes about five dozen rum balls that are intense, fudgy, chewy, complex, and balanced. Recipe can be halved or doubled. Plan ahead, since these are best when left to mellow for at least a few days in the refrigerator. They keep very well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks or frozen for up to a few months. Cooking time is refrigeration time. Use vanilla for a non-alcoholic version (sometimes called moon balls). -- 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

Nigella's and she calls them "embarassingly easy". I've made it and I agree... very yummy for very little effort, though a bit messy. -- posted by SolightlyUK

Vanilla Cashew Cream

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:55:29 -0500

Thsi is a delicious non-dairy cream topping for your favorite pies. I made this for Thanksgiving 2009 to serve with my pumpking and apple pies, and it was AMAZING! Please only use RAW cashew pieces, roasted or salted cashew pieces will make this too dark and taste more like nuts rather than cream. This can but put into the freezer for 10-15 mintues before serving to increase its thickness. You can soak the cashews in the water ahead of time to soften them a bit, but it is not necessary. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Creamy Quinoa Mousse

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:16:50 -0500

VERY healthy dessert or breakfast. This is the kind of recipe where you like it or you don't... if you do, you're in for a treat (there'd no guilt, it'ts even good for you!!!). The texture is slightly fibrous, due to the quinoa. Can be served warm or cold, l prefer mine partially frozen (I place them in individual cups, then freeze for an hour). Adjust spices to your taste. You can sub the milk for soymilk (if using vanilla flavoured, omit sugar and vanilla from ingredients). -- posted by Génial Génie

Cantaloupe and Blueberries With Fresh Strawberry Sauce

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:47:08 -0500

Source: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking This dessert is best made when fresh local berries are available. It looks especially pretty if you garnish each serving with a strawberry fan. To make the fans simply slice strawberry from tip almost but not completely through, then fan out slices. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

No Crust Peach Pie

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:19:35 -0500

This is an easy to make no-crust peach pie. It is a favorite of everyone's at parties. The inspiration for the pie came from recipezaar recipe #43876. I have since made changes to reflect my personal tastes and enjoyment with cooking. The vanilla liquor and vanilla powder add a depth to the recipe that leaves you guessing what-else is in the pie. -- posted by Mbunchj8

Chococonut Pandan Chiffon Cake

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:23:08 -0500

This is the easiest pandan cake I've ever made, and best tasting too! I made my husband rank his favourite cakes that I've ever made and I've never been able to outdo the Choco Banana cake until this one!.We're both watching our weight, so I've reduced alot of sugar in the recipe, so it's not too sweet at all. Enjoy! -- posted by Clabibi
