Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:21:36 -0400

After becoming a vegetarian, I missed certain sandwiches that I used to make on a regular basis. In an effort to substitute, I came up with this faux chicken salad-esque spread that is delicious on whole grain bread or in a pita pocket! It is an easy go-to because I usually have everything in my pantry. Substitute any ingredients that you might use in your chicken or tuna salad! -- posted by Miss_Elaine

This recipe is for those who say "This ain't hot!" This can be made using chicken, pork, or beef cubes. Make up a variety for your next cook-out!

Black Bean Mango Salsa

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:14:15 -0400

Country Caramel Apples Around the Campfire

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:27:24 -0400

Here's a recipe that is sure to draw some oohs and aahs from your favorite diners! An easy-to-make, simple way to end the day while camping or on the back deck. The hardest part is coring the apples. Try stuffing the core with other melty sweet treats: chocolate caramels, cinnamon Red Hots, Lemon Drops, Gummy Bears. Oooohh...! The original recipe came from the Lutheran Girl Pioneer Camping cookbook. COOKING TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE getting the fire or grill coals going. This is a good recipe to put on as the fire is dying down---or AFTER you've pulled the meat off the grill--while you're eating supper. These will cook all by themselves while you're eating! -- posted by Debber

Dutch Meat Loaf

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:37:49 -0400

This recipe comes from an older, but local Church cookbook of family favorites. While the meat loaf is pretty standard, it is the sauce that intrigued me. We especially like it and I hope you will as well. This is comfort food! Just remember ovens vary so your time may be different. -- posted by Debaylady

Campfire S'mores (Aka Robinson Crusoes)

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:16:10 -0400

If you like regular S'mores, you're going to LOVE these! Start with chocolate graham crackers, smear on some creamy peanut butter, add the chocolate candy pieces, the melty marshmallow; then top with the other square of graham cracker. THE TRICK to making these perfectly is being patient while the marshmallow is roasting....don't stick it into the fire, twirl it slowly over the warmth, so that it starts to swell up. That's your signal that the inside is getting all soft and smooshy--just right for perfect s'mores. I first made these back in the early 90's when taking 10 girls on a church youth camp-out in eastern Washington State. We cooked all our meals over the open-fire (no campstove!!) including chocolate chip pancakes MADE FROM SCRATCH, pioneer hotdogs (yum, yum!) and caramel apples roasted in the coals. I guess I need to post those recipes too. After all...it's summer-time and people are camping!!! -- posted by Debber

Quick No-Knead Cinnamon Rolls

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:43:06 -0400

I'm alway looking for ways to simplify life on the boat and these rolls will be perfect! Also great for camping and RVing! For the Baking Mix use Recipe #377822. Because of the relatively low percentage of fat to flour these rolls are best when served warm, right out of the oven! -- posted by Galley Wench

Anne's Colourful Pasta Salad

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:03:39 -0400

As the title indicates, I got this recipe from a good friend of mine, Anne. It is very quick and easy to make and really tasty, too. It's great for potlucks or brunch buffets (the recipe can be multiplied easily). I know there are many pasta salads on zaar already, but I think this one is just a little different. I hope you enjoy! Note: 250 g = 9oz; 200 g = 7oz -- posted by Lalaloula

Joe Bars (Chocolate Granola Bars)

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:59:16 -0400

These granola bars are attributed to "Joe", a trail guide and vet at the Wintergreen resort (or so my faded, printed recipe tells me). In any case, I cannot claim this recipe to be my own, but it is a keeper. I have a batch of these Joe Bars ready at all times (and they freeze well too). -- posted by Holly301

Fresh Salsa

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:50:02 -0400

This is a refreshing summer salsa made with fresh tomatoes. It can also be done with canned tomatoes too but it just doesn't compare to the fresh stuff. My mom uses to make this salsa when I was a kid it was easy because we always had an awesome garden. .This is best served before it is refrigerated but it is good leftover too. Serve with corn chips or even good with garlic bread. -- posted by Angel56

Everyday French Breakfast- Baguette and Jam With Chocolate Milk

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:39:59 -0400

I lived in Paris for 4 months and in Valladolid, Spain for 6 months as a student and in both cities, the traditional everyday breakfast was this (although some adults have black coffee rather than chocolate milk!). In Spain I lived with a local family and everyone had a variation of this breakfast each day. It really hits the spot and with some fruit it is a well-balanced breakfast. This is a great way for kids to have fun learning about other parts of the world and works well with a class of schoolchildren. I haven't specified amounts for the toppings as that's all down to personal taste. -- posted by Shuzbud

Yemenite Haroset Truffles

Yogurt Honey Health Mini Muffins

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:31:24 -0400

This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. The addition of yogurt not only makes these muffins moist, but helps them stay fresh in an airtight container for up to three days and still taste wonderful. If cake flour is not readily available, all-purpose flour can be substituted. The muffins will be slightly denser, but will taste just as good. (recipe found on Whole Foods website) -- posted by JanuaryBride

Easy Italian Salami Pasta Salad

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:34:10 -0400

This is a recipe that is easy to make from ingredients that are often in the fridge/ storecupboard. If it is served straight after the minimum 30 minute chill time, you may find that there is a lot of dressing in the salad- this is so that it doesn't dry out if it is stored in the fridge for a few days. Serves 4 as a side dish but this would also make a good take-to work lunch or potluck dish. -- posted by Shuzbud

Almost Dad's Tofu Jerky

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:37:34 -0400

I adapted this recipe from one I found at tofujerky.org. One of the few cheats I would do as a veggie was eat my dad's venison jerky. With his passing, we lost the family recipe. I recreated it to the best of my memory using tofu. The marinade also makes great baked tofu. Adjust the pepper to your taste. I usually double this recipe because we love it so much. -- posted by PDX CakeGirl

Snickerdoodle Blondies

I've seen this recipe on several food blogs and was obsessed with them. Being a big fan of Snickerdoodle cookies, I knew the moment I saw these I had to give them a whirl. What impressed me most about this recipe was that it was super basic, no need to run out and buy anything special, just raid your fridge and pantry and bake away! These are super easy to make and will have your house smelling heavenly in 10 minutes. These bars go great with a cup of piping hot coffee! Now get obsessed with these bars and get to baking! My hats off to Julia of Dozen Flours who created this new favorite of my family and friends :) Now everyone asks me for the recipe! I have not seen this recipe on Zaar, so I am posting it here to share! -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Snickerdoodle-Bundt Cake

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:22:19 -0400

I love Snickerdoodles and since the recipe#384800 were a huge hit in my house I knew this cake will be loved and devoured. This cake needs no frosting, there is a crispy sugary shell that forms on top with a moist cake and cinnamon struesal center .(See my photos, I've tried to capture the inside and out) Traditional Bundt cakes serve 12 but you can serve 18 with this one just cut the slices a little thinner..... but you might want a huge piece after your house smells like a gigantic snickerdoodle cookie while it's baking! This recipe was created by my friend Julia of Dozen Flours. Thanks Julia for another fantastic recipe. I'm sure the Zaar community will love this one. I gave it 5 stars myself ;) -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Not Hot Beef Jerky

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:32:59 -0400

This is a good beef jerky marinade, especially if you prefer one that is not loaded with pepper. My mom gave me this recipe, I think it came enclosed with her dehydrator. This amount will marinade about 2 1/2 pounds of meat. I prefer to use thin sliced London Broil, it's nice and lean. -- posted by Kellymike

I get so excited just thinking about this cake! It is so simple to make, especially when camping. All your hungry campers will be drooling when they smell yummy spice cake wafting through the air!!! This recipe is so versatile...we have made it with yellow cake or chocolate cake and cherries, raspberries, or peaches the list goes on and on! I'm sure you could bake this in your oven at home also at 350 degrees in a cake pan.*TIP* Line your dutch oven with parchment paper; one sheet horizontal and another vertical to cover any empty space and press to the sides & bottom as close as you can. Make sure that the paper hangs over the dutch oven. Add ingredients as usual and bake, when done just throw away the paper and no clean up, YAY! -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!

Marmie's Baked Potatoe Supreme

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:31:10 -0400

It seems silly posting something as simple as a baked potatoe, but this is sooo darn good! I created this when I was eighteen and we did a lot of entertaining...usually bring your own meat bbq's lol. I like it because it has everything in it, including it's own bacon bits, travels well, can be prepared ahead of time and gets rave reviews every time and is most always requested. Note: Depending on what meat I am serving I will add an appropriate herb to my potatoe eg: if I am cooking lamb I will add rosemary to my potatoe. You can let your potatoe cook longer to get that delish crispy peel....nummy. -- posted by Marmie's

This is one quick and easy dish to prepare! You can grill or baked them, which ever way you like. I usually grill them because it just takes better to me. I also serve them with french baguettes, limes squeezed on the ribs, grilled onions/jalopenos drizzled with seasoned soy sauce. Make it into a sandwich or just eat it by itself. One way or the other its still goooood. -- posted by Tina Charlton

Mani's Bakery's High Protein Muffin

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:33:14 -0400

This recipe comes from the LA Times Food section's SOS column posted in response to reader pleading. It is an adapted recipe from the bakery. You need jumbo muffin tins to get the 14 muffins from this - regular tins will yield more muffins & likely need a slightly shortened cooking time. Should be getting about 11 grams of protein & 9 grams of fiber with about 32 grams of fat - but a lot of that is coming from the seeds & canola oil. Just the thing for hiking, fishing or hunting - easy to eat & needs no fridge! -- posted by Buster's friend

Healthy Green Chili & Potato Gratin

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:44:46 -0400

Unless you are a carb-hater, potatoes are pretty healthy...low in calories, some fiber. This recipe mimics a very rich and creamy Potato Gratin but uses low fat ingredients and my FAVORITE ingredient of all time - Green Chilis - one of the many bags that I roasted and froze during the last NM Chili season. -- posted by Melanie B.

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

Mom's Simple Granola

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:51:33 -0400

My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like! -- posted by Hadice

Ranger Pudding

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:03:10 -0400

All the calories and caffeine you'll ever need in a small volume, not so tasty package... This is a great recipe when you're on extended combat ops - but it also doubles as a great example of the opposite of a good recipe! -- posted by CSAR-Doc

Here is a recipe for that age old appliance called a jaffle iron or you can use the new age appliance called a sandwich maker. This is a good camping recipe if you have a jaffle iron. -- posted by katew

Fresh Cucumber Cheese Dip

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:23:05 -0400

This is such an unexpected fresh dip! I love to serve it with the new "Flips" cracker/pretzels. We've also served this dip with bagels, pretzels and other crackers. You can also spread it on a tortilla wrap and make pinwheels or top it with ham/turkey and make roll-up sandwiches! It does not last long, be prepared! -- posted by Andreazaar

As the name implies, this recipe came from a French's recipe. You may add extra seasoning of you choice but do that after you assemble remaining ingredients and then adjust for taste. Cooking time is based on Low cooking temp. -- posted by KGCOOK

Dutch Oven Camping Breakfast Love

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:17:50 -0500

Not the most descriptive recipe title, perhaps, but this is what my friend calls it and I like the name, so there you go. Nothing wakes up your camp-mates like the warmth of a campfire and the sounds and smells of sausage, bacon, and veggies. You will NEED a REAL camping dutch oven (get the cast-iron kind with the little legs and the lip on top for putting coals on the lid - if you camp much, this is well worth the investment). You will also need two hot-pads, tongs, and a heat-resistant spatula. A long-sleeve shirt and leather gloves are recommended so that you don't singe your arms and hands. Note that preparation time consists mostly of letting the fire mature. -- posted by Da Huz

Peanut Butter Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:44:39 -0500

This recipe makes enough for a family reunion (I halved the recipe and still had 4 dozen cookies). I've posted the recipe as originally written. I really like the seasonings--cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. It makes a nice twist on a classic treat. Next time I'll skip the shortening and use real butter (just a personal preference). I'd also dip my fork in white sugar and press them in a criss cross pattern after they come out of the oven instead of before. Recipe courtesy of 2009 Taste of Home Annual Recipes. -- posted by AmyZoe
