Cattleships Tuna Egg Salad

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:35:36 -0500

A cold mixture of tuna, egg and other ingredients. It can be used to make sandwiches, as a salad over lettuce, as a spread, or as a snack by itself. I first made this when I was in college in Texas back in the 80's. A few potato chips goes great with a sandwich made with this salad. -- posted by Cattleships

Homemade Marshmallows

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:56:37 -0500

I found it on "The Early Show's" website. They are a little bit of a pain to make, but the final results are well worth it ! Use as you would store bought marshmallows. The unflavored gelatin amount is 1 envelope of Knox gelatin, not sure of ozs. -- posted by Slater363

Fried Almonds

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:59:12 -0500

A delicious and extremely quick-to-make recipe which I was delighted to find in the October-November 2008 issue of 'dish'. As I don't like hot and spicy flavours, I made these with a mild paprika. Those who do like foods hot and spicy might want to add cayenne pepper. Please, do adjust the spices to meet your taste preferences. As almonds boost energy levels particularly at those times such as early afternoon when - given the choice - many of us may choose to have a siesta, I intend to have these on hand in a container at all times at work as a quick energy-boosting snack. I've found that even half a dozen almonds can provide the boost needed at such times, and these will offer a more flavoursome alternative to plain almonds. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Pizza Pocket and Calzone Dough

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:45:29 -0500

This dough is simple to make and has a slightly sweet taste. The kids love making their own pizza pockets, and I love using leftovers to make calzone type sandwiches. Make some up for dinner, or choose fillings that freeze well and you can make a bunch to have on hand for lunches and picnics. Mixing time: 15 minutes Rising time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes -- posted by Sunny Yukon

High Fiber Green Tea Granola

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 02:17:49 -0500

I got this recipe from Fiber One's web site. Yum! Healthy and Good. Occasionally, I have trouble finding sesame sticks around here and will substitute a cup of Fiber One Original for an even higher fiber, lower calorie treat. Works well either way. 1 serving = 1/2 cup. Cooling time included in cooking time. -- posted by HollyGolightly

Garlic and Rosemary Stuffed Sausages

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:21:40 -0500

Adapted from an Australia Day BBQ recipe in the current issue of 'New Idea'. As I don't have a BBQ, when I make these I shall be panfrying them. Please feel free to vary the herbs so that you use your favourite herbs and to use the amount of garlic to meet your taste preferences. The discarded green end of the leek can be saved and used in my Recipe #135453. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Moist Jumbo Banana Wheat/Oat Bran Muffins

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:14:55 -0500

Moist and flavorful these can be made with oat or wheat bran depending on what you have. You can put your choice of nuts (my fav is walnuts) or dried fruit and vary the amount of mashed banana and they still come out great. Since I started using this recipe 5 years ago, I have kept these muffins on hand in our freezer. I save my brown bananas, freeze them and when I get a good amount puree them in my cuisinart so I can triple the batch of muffins. You can also make these as regular size muffins. The batch would make 12 muffins and bake time would decrease to 15 minutes or so. -- posted by RussianMama

Aussie Spiced Nuts

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:58:20 -0500

A deliciously different recipe for spiced nuts which I came across this afternoon in the current issue of the Australian magazine 'Woman's Day', and with my usual impatience just had to make this evening, with a few modifications - minus the chilli powder to meet our taste preferences - but I'd certainly make these complete with the chilli powder for friends, and have left the chilli powder in as an ingredient. In making these, I increased the garlic from 1 to 2 cloves, and I minced it rather than crushing it. I used cashews, macadamias and hazelnuts. Why, oh why do I keep buying all these magazines each week? Spot on if you guessed to check out their latest recipes! And it was worth buying this week's just to have found this recipe! These would be demolished very quickly if served with other appetisers and drinks, and they'd be a great addition to salads and stir-fries - if they lasted that long! :) Don't add salt - or add it sparingly - if your nuts are already salted. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Chewy Honey Almond Energy Bars

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:14:28 -0500

These ingredients are what I normally have on hand, but feel free to substitute or add other nuts, seeds or dried fruit such as dried cranberries, cherries, shredded coconut, toasted oats, etc. These are packed with protein (and calories), and are great for athletes, or anyone who needs a hit of energy! The bars are soft and chewy, but the more ingredients you add, the firmer the bars will be. -- posted by Procrasti-baker

Kashi Golean Granola/Snack Bars (No Bake)

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 09:45:53 -0500

These are SO easy! I am always on the look out for high protien, high fiber foods. I created this recipe on a whim and was incredibly impressed with the outcome... Good for you AND tasty!! Practically perfection in my book! It's made from Kashi Go Lean cereal which has 10g of fiber, 13g of protien and only 1g of fat per serving.

I have not tried these bars. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Bake The Best Ever Cookies kids cookbook. Sarah Says: After you have made this recipe a few times, try designing your own granola bars by adding other dried fruits, nuts, and even candies to the basic recipe. Don't like walnuts? Try adding dried cherries or peanuts instead. -- posted by internetnut

Chili Dogs

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:22:31 -0500

Just cover the franks with any extras you like, such as mustard and onions, then ladle on this super sauce. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home Quick Cooking 2005. I posted this for safe keeping before my family tried it. I have to agree with reviewer there is not a whole lot of flavor for all the seasonings. I even doubled the onion powder, garlic salt, and ground mustard. I added 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. This just still didn't due anything for the flavor. Overall this is a thick sauce. -- posted by internetnut

Breakfast On-The-Go

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:15:54 -0500

A complete grab & go breakfast or snack. You've got ingredients from all 4 food groups and the recipe is easily customized to your family's preferences. I like to reduce the flour and add wheat germ, ground flax seeds, I often add poppy seeds, the combinations are endless. I usually replace chocolate chips with nuts. Other times, I use dried cranberries & dark chocolate chips. I suppose you could also replace the cream cheese with peanut butter, yoghurt, or jam. You could also add cocoa. You'll probably choose to adjust the ingredients according to the type of cereal you are using (some already have dried fruit and/or nuts)I find they taste best the next day. -- posted by Burgz

I like cranberries and sourdough pretzels, so I came up with this one. It's a nice sweet change of pace. I hope you enjoy it. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas With Moroccan Spices

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:40:14 -0400

This is a great mid-afternoon snack by itself or sprinkle them on a salad or add some nuts. I used garbanzo beans from my freezer I cooked earlier and tripled the recipe so I'd have extra on hand. Kalyn says garbanzo beans are one of the world's healthiest foods--one of the highest protein levels in plants and also a low-glycemic food. Roasted chickpeas are eaten in Turkey as a snack called Leblebi. This recipe came from Kalyn's Kitchen--the Moroccan Spice Mix is from Fine Cooking Magazine. Kalyn keeps Moroccan Spice Mix on hand to flavor veggies as well. -- posted by AmyZoe

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes because it reminds me of childhood and Mom baking these for school lunches. I hadnt had molasses cookies in years and then last year I spent some time with my mother-in-law, Vicki, who might just love molasses cookies as much as I do. These are simple to make and the molasses cookies fill the house with the incredible aromas of ginger and cinnamon. -- posted by Wild Chef

White Chocolate and Maple Rice Krispie Squares

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:07:58 -0400

This is a yummy variation on the classic kids' treat. I like my rice krispie squares to be heavy on the mallow so if you prefer, feel free to add more rice krispies to the mix! I don't have easy access to good maple syrup this side of the pond so please feel free to adjust that amount too- 2 tablespoons of the fake stuff I get here is about right but you may need less of the real thing! If you want to make less, half of this recipe fits in a loaf tin beautifully. -- posted by Shuzbud

Make-Ahead Burritos

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:34:51 -0400

I needed to use up some leftover chicken, and I didn't want to feel like I was "eating chicken again". It was the fastest burrito I've ever made, and I'm going to freeze the leftovers individually. Who needs to purchase frozen burritos when you can make your own with ingredients you have on hand. The only thing I did differently is I used around 7 ounces of green chilies and instead of the burrito seasoning mix I added my own seasoning (fresh cilantro, garlic, cumin, and chili powder).

This is not a fancy dinner to serve to company, but a very quick and simple but flavourful dish. I use it as a great make ahead lunch to take to work.

Feel free to add nuts, raisins, cranberries, cinnamon, vanilla, etc. I make my starter with whole wheat flour, so I go ahead and use cake flour in this recipe to lighten it up a bit.

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

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

I Can't Believe It's Low Fat Carrot Bread

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:07:17 -0400

So moist and delicious you will never believe it is low fat. The original recipe given to me by my BF's mother used oil instead of applesauce, 2% milk and a cup of white sugar, I also added the vanilla. I changed the recipe to what it is now and he never knew the difference. -- posted by katdi

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

Fancy Schmancy Very Easy Omelet Croissant

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:15:47 -0400

Here are some eggs with style! Get the skillet warming up while you're prepping the eggies, and have everything else ready to add in, so it all comes together easily at the end. Thanks to the wonderful cooks at Taste of Home (Aug/Sep '09) for another great one! If you'd like your sammie to be a bit heartier, add another egg (2 per person then). How easy can this be? :-) -- posted by Debber

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

Avocados - Stock up on Sale and Freeze-Tips OAMC

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:48:07 -0400

Avocados can be expensive, even here in Texas. This is more of a tip than a recipe that I wanted to save for myself and share with y'all. Now I can stock up when they are on sale yet still enjoy them when they are not. Just multiply the recipe for the number of avocados you want to freeze. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Breadmaker Granola

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:37:51 -0400

Make healthy Granola to use in trail mix or over yogurt for a healthy breakfast...in your breadmaker! I use about a 1/3 cup scoop of this over about 1/3 cup - 1/2 cup plain natural yogurt for my breakfast every day. I also found this to be an easy, filling and healthy camping breakfast with the individual size yogurts thrown in the cooler. Choose your own combo of nuts and dried fruits...for a special treat, add some dark chocolate chips after it has cooled. -- posted by Seamor

Crab Salad With Cream Cheese

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:19:32 -0400

This recipe is made with imitation crab salad and is great on croissants. It is different from the usual crab salad as it is made with cream cheese. Very easy, we take crackers and eat it while boating all the time! -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!

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

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

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
