Gavin's Salsa

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:52:06 -0400

My son, Gavin, will eat a pint jar of this salsa a day!! He doesn't like "chunks" so I can 1/2 of this then boat motor the other half before canning the rest for him. We like it hot; feel free to reduce the habaneros or eliminate them all together. WEAR GLOVES WHEN CHOPPING PEPPERS! When I was working up this recipe, Gav was the taste tester (tough job, LOL), hence the name. -- posted by Junesjam

This is a creation of mine that was created with the intention of adding some nutritional value to a very fattening recipe. The calories will change depending on what you add or take away from this recipe. It is a template for your own needs.

Here's a little finger food that's an alternative to veggies & dip. I got the recipe from a magazine at the doctor's office. It makes a cute appetizer that should appeal to kid's because of the simple flavors. You can, however, use a thick, flavoured dip for more adult tastes. -- posted by Sweet PQ?

Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips, Easy Cheap Mexican Snack Food

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:40:44 -0400

Corn tortillas (used in making Oaxaca-style quesadillas) are available at international and Latin grocery stores, and if you live in a large Latin-American community like I do then you can find corn tortillas in bags of 20-30 for like $2 or less at major grocery stores. Flour tortillas probably won't work as well for this and definitely won't have the corn flavor and base. Never spend money on premade again! You can also control how large or small you want to make them (and keep them seasoned or not) not to mention salt content if you're watching sodium intake. 32 chips is all I could fit on my convection oven's cookie sheet so feel free to use more tortillas; the methodology is all the same. You won't believe how easy it is to get restaurant-style tortilla chips without any icky unnatural ingredients! -- posted by the80srule

Courgette Patties

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:01:19 -0500

These were vaguely meant to be courgette fritters, I didn't have any feta so used some cream cheese I had instead - they are quite soft, almost blini-like. Great served with tzatziki. I used mint as I had some, I'd swap that for dill or maybe chives? The courgette I had was quite a large one, use more than one if your courgettes are smaller. -- posted by Moyni

Low Carb Jalapeno Poppers

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:43:54 -0500

I was craving poppers but didn't want super greasy bacon or high carb breading so I invented these... Sometimes instead of the garlic powder and seasoning salt, I use 2 tsp of a product called Johnny's Garlic Spread Seasoning which is just awesome - I buy it at Costco here in Canada. The number of jalapenos varies depending on the size you get and how much spread you put inside each half! Tried it with fat-free cream cheese and it just didn't have a good texture. Have also used shredded taco cheese blend right out of the freezer instead of plain cheddar! -- posted by Cadillacgirl

Vegan Applesauce Nachos

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:55:44 -0500

I know it sounds weird, but bear with me! The applesauce sweetens it, but a flavorful salsa, salty chips, and earthy beans help to balance it out. This recipe is vegan and easy to prepare, best enjoyed hot. The ingredients are estimates, since I make this by sight or to taste, but it's easily doubled or tripled. Feel free to vary the recipe, for example using black beans instead of kidney beans. -- posted by Qzxyntop

Monday Supper! Curried Lamb and Chutney Rissoles/Patties

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:13:25 -0500

A tasty and different way to use some of the Sunday Roast leftovers on Monday! Although I have specified lamb in this recipe, beef would also work very well, it's just that I had roast lamb leftovers when I made these. These rissoles are lightly spiced and tangy - perfect for supper when served with salad, pickles, chutneys and maybe a naan bread or pitta bread to make a sandwich. They are easily made and can be prepared ahead of time and left in the fridge, as they hold their shape better when they have been chilled and are firm. These will also freeze very well; open freeze them before frying on a tray or plate until firm and then pack them into freezer bags or a plastic container. They only need about 6 hours to defrost and then are cooked as instructed below.Use curry powder to taste, I use 2 teaspoons as I like mine quite spicy! -- posted by French Tart

° Pumpkin Plus ° Pet Bunny Rabbit Treats

Here's another treat my guy, Bunneh, adores. When I open the container near him, he goes ballistic. I mean CRAZY. It takes a bit of effort to keep him from forcefully nosing his way into the whole batch! -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Eggplant Pizza

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:34:21 -0500

In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto. -- posted by California Girl in Brazil

You don't have to heat up the kitchen to make this crowd pleaser. It is perfect to make, grab and go for a charming waterside gathering. We made this on the beach and placed the shrimp over bright green banana leaves and it looked so tropical! :) I could feel the the breeze from the Gulf - oh how beautiful! -- posted by Manami

Elegant Tarragon and Tomato Butter Tea Sandwiches

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:56:30 -0500

These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter. -- posted by French Tart

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart

Homemade Spicy Dill Pickles

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:52:50 -0500

These Dill Pickles are out of this world! Bobby Flay had the recipe posted on Food Network's website. I made them for the holidays and people didn't stop raving about them. They are very easy and delicious. You may adjust the spice to your liking. The longer they sit, the hotter they get. I quartered them both horizontally and vertically to make them more bite-size. We liked them best after 4 days. -- posted by Retired Greyhound Mom
