Super Easy Eggplant Parmesan

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 20:26:36 -0400

This recipe is so easy it's crazy. You don't even have to fry the eggplant before you assemble the casserole. I think it gives great taste and texture this way. Also saves a lot of calories! You can also throw in other items such as mushrooms, onions or sausage. I do occasionally to make a whole meal in one dish. -- posted by Abbey212

This is one of the two staple recipes I cook for company when I don't know what they like. It is simple and really easy. Everyone always enjoys it. I think it is called holdiay spaghetti because it is red and green but we make it all year round. -- posted by Chef #829870

Garlic-Stuffed Pork Roast With Glaze

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:51:41 -0400

For even more flavor after seasoning the roast cover and refrigerate overnight -- for best results use a meat thermometor for this, stuff the roast with as many cloves as desired, I say the more the better! --- NOTE if you prefer lots of glaze, use 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup soy sauce, cook as directed. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Hot Tortellini Salad With Salami and Broccoli

Seafood Casserole for Christmas Eve from the Farmhouse

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:12:15 -0400

Getting the kids ready and out the door in time for the traditional Lutheran church's Christmas Eve Children's Worship Service is made MUCH easier with this recipe on hand. Get things ready ahead of time, make a loaf of garlicky French bread, and before the little whipper-snappers have time to realize what's happened, you've eaten a healthy AND festive supper, AND are STILL out-the-door in time for church to hear the story and sing the carols of the Birth of Our Savior! Those lovely ladies at Gooseberry Patch take the credit for coming up with this one. -- posted by Debber

Christmas Vacation Manicotti Casserole

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:48:36 -0400

When the whole family is home for the holidays, it's nice to have several recipes on hand that you can put together in the afternoon while they're off doing something else, and then be able to sit down together at the table for supper. This recipe is one of THOSE....put together and gather 'round the table to inhale it! Better double this recipe when you have a crowd! The crusty top will be so inviting you'll be drooling from just looking at it! This one comes from Gooseberry Patch's Christmas book (2008). -- posted by Debber

Brown Sugar-Cured Turkey With Wild Mushroom-Shallot Gravy

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:59:56 -0400

I love to try new turkey recipes during the year to experiment before the holidays. I'm finally getting around to posting some that I've tried before. This one is quite good, but a little more work than most. However, parts of it can be prepared a day ahead. Plan ahead for this one - the turkey needs sit in the refer for 24 hours with the herb mixture before cooking. -- posted by lazyme

Grand Marnier Turkey

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:44:26 -0400

Here's another turkey recipe that I have made in the past. I didn't actually use the cooking bag, but used a large roaster with a vent in the lid. I did need to add a little liquid to the bottom of the pan to deglaze the yummy parts that stuck to the pan. DH liked it which was surprising, because he is a true believer that a turkey isn't worth making if it isn't stuffed with a bread stuffing, lol. -- posted by lazyme

Roast Turkey With Bacon, Tarragon and Applejack Gravy

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:52:49 -0400

I've made this turkey for a crowd and it was a huge hit. There are a lot of steps, but several of them can be done the day before. My group really enjoyed the gravy, but for me, it was a tad bit sweet because of the applejack. If you don't care for sweeter gravies, I would 1/2 the applejack and add as you taste. Just giving a warning because it's a lot of work to put together a turkey dinner - and it should be great!! -- posted by lazyme

Roast Turkey With Grand Marnier Apricot Stuffing

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:56:26 -0400

Here's another good turkey and dressing recipe. DH loves stuffings and gobbles this one up. I've never really liked using the giblets (I think it's a mind thing, lol), but I am convinced that they really add a lot of flavor. -- posted by lazyme

Roast Turkey With Prosciutto-Hazelnut Crust

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:58:41 -0400

Hazelnuts and prosciutto are combined in a seasoned butter that coats the turkey as it roasts and also flavors the gravy. My guests have given this turkey rave reviews. You can make the Prosciutto butter and gravy base 1 day ahead. -- posted by lazyme

This is a great way of eating turkey if you want a change from the traditional roast. Or, to use left-over turkey, reheat in the stock as in Step 1 for 5-6 minutes or until piping hot, then continue as below. -- posted by English_Rose

Kittencal's Moist Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:48:56 -0400

Cooking time is only approximate for a 6-pound bone-in turkey breast, for a larger breast cooking time will need to be adjusted, whatever the size of turkey breast roast until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F, for perfect doneness a meat thermometer (instant or regular) should be used --- for the very best flavor a turkey breast with the skin left on is an absolute must and the bone left in would be another plus --- don't forget to save the pan juices to make your favorite gravy or see my recipe#145064 --- a 6-pound turkey breast should feed 4-6 people if you are serving more I suggest to make two or even three depending on how many people you are feeding, you may make all the breasts in the same roasting pan --- NOTE for the best flavor and tenderness it is strongly advised to use a fresh only turkey breast not previously frozen then thawed. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Buffet-Style Fluffy Oven Scrambled Eggs for a Crowd

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:34:35 -0400

This is the method that restaurants use to serve eggs for a buffet brunch --- for cheesy eggs mix in 1-1/2 cups shredded old cheddar cheese or you may sprinkle the cheese on top after removing from the oven --- 2-1/2 cups half and half cream and milk will produce ultra fluffy eggs, for a firmer texture reduce to 2 cups--- NOTE this recipe was tested using large eggs I cannot promise the same results using small or extra large eggs --- if you are serving these eggs at a buffet some side ideas would be salsa, green onions, cheddar cheese and soft buns :) -- posted by KITTENCAL

Roast Turkey With Maple Herb Butter

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:44:37 -0500

I have been making this turkey every Thanksgiving for the last 15 years or so! It always produces a tender, moist meat and flavorful skin, and I can't imagine making turkey any other way. The key is that you must use PURE maple syrup (not pancake syrup) and FRESH pressed apple cider (not apple juice). I usually make the maple herb butter the day before, so it's ready Thanksgiving morning. You can make it up to 2 days ahead, if you like. I also stuff my turkey, but if you don't, just add some chopped onion, celery and carrots to the cavity when roasting. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Maple Orange-Glazed Turkey Roast

Roast Turkey With Pomegranate-Port Wine Sauce

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:21:33 -0500

Topsy Turvy Crispy Roast Chicken With Salt Crust Seasoning

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:50:12 -0500

A great method for cooking a perfect whole roast chicken - no dried out breast meat and no half raw leg and thigh meat, just moist chicken with crispy, seasoned skin. I like to use corn-fed chickens for a truly lovely texture, flavour and colour. The salt crust and seasoning mix that I suggest, really gives a great flavour and crispy finish; however, if you have your own favourite seasoning mix, please use that instead. Salting chicken before cooking draws out excess moisture, making the flesh firmer and the skin crispy. Serve this roast chicken with traditional accompaniments such as roast potatoes, stuffing, fresh seasonal vegetables and gravy. (It is nice to buy and cook organic or humanely produced chickens; I realise that they cost a little bit more, but the taste is superior and you will not be supporting a cruel and unnecessary way of animal husbandry - you taste what you pay for!) -- posted by French Tart

Leftover Mashed Potatoes and Turkey Casserole

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:44:56 -0500

A lovely way to use hard-to-reheat potatoes and gravy, and good alternative to the same-old leftovers after Thanksgiving. Someone should try it with bacon bits under the cheese. -- posted by SunnySmiles

Madeira-Glazed Roast Turkey

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:02:41 -0500

Mushroom-Stuffed Turkey Breast

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:05:38 -0500

This can be made as a holiday alternative to a whole turkey, if you prefer just white meat, or don't have a large crowd to feed. Also, at a time when prevailing tastes are running toward light, lean meat, high-protein, low-fat turkey breast comes close to the perfect choice. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Oven Roasted Turkey With Sage Butter - Tyler Florence

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:41:57 -0500

I made this last year for Thanksgiving, my very first bird...it was absolutely amazing and made me look super impressive! I am making it again this year too. My husband said I had too, LOL! I found this recipe on the Food Network in 2007. The key to my turkey last year, however, was I Brined it with Recipe#13961 and finished it using this recipe and even made Caramelized Onion and Cornbread Stuffing as a Dressing, which goes along with this Turkey. Another Tyler Florence ULTIMATE! Note: Cooking time does not include the step of Brining it the night before if you choose to do so. Enjoy! -- posted by DoveChocolatierinKY

Festive Fillet of Beef

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:50:58 -0500

This is a wonderful alternative to turkey for Christmas, full of rich festive flavours. Taken from Good Housekeeping Complete Christmas. The shallots are simply trimmed, not peeled; this gives good colour to the beef juices and the shallots keep their shape and are soft and juicy. Lexia raisins are much larger and fatter than the normal variety. Prep time includes soaking time. -- posted by Lou van

Morcon (Meat Roll) Phillipines

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:58:49 -0500

This traditional recipe is a part of the Christmas and New Year food tradition in the Philippines. Many traditional Filipino holiday foods have a strong Spanish influence. This recipe is for serving straight away but Morcon is easier to slice when allowed to cool and much better after having been refrigerated. If ground ham and pork is not available, use a can of Vienna sausages. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Mushroom Lentil Barley Casserole

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:39:19 -0500

A good vegan dish to add to a festive meal. Great with red cabbage, broccoli and roasted root vegetables. And meat eaters like it too! This is a pretty versatile dish, read forgiving...if I don't have barley to hand rice works. Sometimes I have added in odds and sods of leftover veg like red peppers/courgettes/pumpkin and then used fewer (and/or just plain button)mushrooms. I have also zinged it up with smoked paprika and tabasco. As I said it goes well in a mixed holiday meal but sometime I just serve this with steamed savoy cabbage or kale and mashed potatoes. -- posted by mrsfabicons

Herb Rubbed Bison Sirlion Tip Roast

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:32:21 -0500

I got this off of a website about the great benefits of eating bison as opposed to beef. I was gifted a bunch of bison for a wedding present & had no idea how to cook it. In reality you only have to roast bison for half as long as you would a traditional beef roast as bison is so lean. This is a wonderful recipe & your guests wouldn't think anything other than WOW this is a great roast! -- posted by Alli Z.

Christmas Brisket

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:57:57 -0500

Much to my surprise and delight, my family has decided to try and have something different for Christmas. When I asked my brother what to make instead of the traditional ham, he suggested brisket, a cut of meat I'd never cooked before. (I was thinking roast beef, but when you get the ball, you have to run with it.) After reading lots of recipes and boggled by the options, I decided to blend them into this recipe. Made in a Crock Pot, it doesn't get any easier and the results are melt-in-your-mouth tender. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Chickpea Flatcake With Honey Roasted Vegetables

Festive Terrine

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:50:35 -0500

I adapted this recipe from the December issue of the excellent Australian Delicious Magazine. I added some duck leg-meat, as it was on hand, and this was a great addition. I omitted the garlic from the original recipe, as I felt it would overpower the other flavours. The original recipe also included 1/2 cup brandy - I didn't have any so didn't add it - instead I added the juices of the duck, which had been roasted in honey and allspice. It was simple to make, and had a beautiful presentation and flavour. Serve cold, accompanied by a fruit relish - I used a cherry relish as it was served for Christmas lunch. You could use rasher bacon as a substitute for prosciutto to line the terrine - the prosciutto was a leaner option, and about the right size to wrap the terrine. -- posted by ChrisWells

Colombian Tamales

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:58:03 -0500

This is one of my husband's favorite "Comfort Foods" (he's Colombian). He even said I made it right the first time I tried! The process is relatively involved - overnight marinating is recommended and it steams for three hours. It is nothing like Mexican Tamales or "Hot Tamales". These are wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks, are much larger, and not as spicy hot. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

Another quick, weeknight recipe, but good enough for company (I make it for Christmas eve dinner every year). I can usually have the fish, rice pilaf, and steamed vegetable on the table in 30 minutes. This is also good using scallops (or any white fish). My family (even the kids) love this. -- posted by WorkingMom2three

Red Chile Chicken Posole

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:09:48 -0400

This is a favorite in New Mexico at Christmastime, or any day you want a spicy, satisfying stew. I experimented and created my own recipe over the years, but the addition of ancho chile is a Bobby Flay inspiration. -- posted by Spice Boy

Mary's Savory Marinara Sauce

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:33:40 -0400

This is my mom's delicious marinara sauce recipe that she kindly provided to me. I have fond memories of her making this sauce often and filling the entire house with its wonderful aroma. It has a savory tomato-y taste, a nice hint of basil, and goes well with all types of pasta (including lasagna). I also like to use it for homemade meatball heroes. I hope that you all will enjoy it as much as we do! -- posted by someone named antoine

Bone-In Ham on the Barbecue With Honey-Butter Glaze

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:45:00 -0400

My husband wanted a Bone in Ham the other day and with my kitchen was between 80 - 90 degrees, I did not want to heat the oven. I could find lots of recipes for steaks but very few for Whole or Bone in Ham. I combined what I found and came up with this. -- posted by Big Man's BBQ Queen

Cristina Ferrare's Turkey

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:24:01 -0400

This will be the best turkey you ever have. I saw Cristina Ferrare making it on the Oprah Show. Oprah called it her favorite turkey. So I gave it a try and it was juicy and delicious. The cook time dose not include marination time. If you are making a larger/smaller turkey adjust cooking time and amount of marinade. -- posted by Maya's Mama

Hearty Meatless Tater Tot Casserole

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:10:44 -0400

For us vegetarians who want the heartiness of a tater tot casserole without the hamburger or ground beef. I found a terrific tater tot casserole recipe on here-- which I altered a bit, then found some more tips on how to make this awesome, tasty, and cheap meal and also adjusted it to the pan size constraint. I couldn't use a real casserole dish because I live in the ghetto and don't have a real oven; I rely on a convection oven. So please note, this recipe's measures are based on using a deep (about 5") 2-quart loaf pan! It's so hearty and filling that I get at least 3-4 meals out of it for just me. But if you want to use a real 13 x 9 casserole dish because you're doing OAMC/OAWC or cooking for your family? Never fear, just double the amounts shown! -- posted by the80srule

Rachel's Green Bean Casserole

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:13:50 -0400

Crack Ham

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:45:32 -0400

This recipe is from "Forking Fantastic"; a hilarious cookbook by Zora O'Neill and Tamara Reynolds. Also known as Ham with Bourbon and Brown Sugar Glaze, it's quite addictive, hence the name!!!! Great, EASY way to class up a store-bought ham for the holidays. I have added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper to the glaze with yummy results - gives it a sweet-spicy crust - mmmmmmmm :) -- posted by Raquel Grinnell

Skillet Spiced Cranberry Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:58:50 -0500

I like to serve this easy one-pan dish throughout the holidays, when fresh cranberries are in season! Frozen or dried cranberries could also be used, for all year round appeal. Feel free to adjust sweetness to your tastes (we like it tangy). This chicken is great served with stuffing or rice, and your favorite seasonal vegetables. -- posted by BecR
