Chicken Tortilla & Rice Casserole

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:46:25 -0500

I got the original recipe when I worked at Lowell Farms, an organic rice company. I originally used their organic jasmine rice in this recipe. It is very good and has a distinct tast much different than regular white rice. It gives the dish a lot of flavor. It is hard for me to find unless I go back to my hometown. I added chicken to the recipe to make it a main dish. I have not made this in a long time and just recently found my recipe again. I am posting for safe keeping. http://www.lowellfarms.com -- posted by JenJenMarie

Sausage, Corn and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:27:01 -0500

Slightly modified from here: http://catesworldkitchen.com/2009/08/corn-and-roasted-red-pepper-soup/ It thickens up considerably in the fridge overnight. Delicious and healthy. The recipe called for fresh corn, but all I could manage in the middle of fall was frozen. -- posted by Andrew Mollmann

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:27:22 -0500

i found out too late that i didn't potatoes for soup, but i had already pulled out my broth. i remembered i had taco meat in the freezer, so i looked for taco soup recipes. all the recipes i found called for taco seasoning-which i didn't have. i made this from scratch, without a recipe! it was really yummy, so try it and give me some feedback.. :) -- posted by MrsWolfe

Crispy Potato Cakes

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:31:04 -0500

Love to make these with leftover mashed potatoes. I will make a batch of these golden brown cakes and serve with sour cream and applesauce for nice snack on the weekends. Pure comfort food here. Recently when my son had his wisdom teeth out, and was so hungry, I whipped these up, which gave the texture he needed and the taste was perfect and satisfying. Posting for Trevor. Scored major mommy points for this one ;) -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Party Popping Trail Mix

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:36:39 -0500

I wanted to make Hungry Girls recipe with the same name, but I couldn't find kosher dark chocolate soy nuts. Also, I don't want to ingest the chemicals or fat used in microwave popcorn bags. So I made some substitutions. I like to use Funky Monkey for the freeze dried fruit. -- posted by Feeding my Family

Sticky Buns (Bread Machine)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:45:12 -0500

Use your bread machine after dinner to make these sticky buns. Then refrigerate overnight, and pop them into the oven in the morning. What a way to start your day! NOTE: If you prefer to bake them right away, let the buns rise at room temperature, lightly covered with plastic wrap, about 45 minutes or until they are puffy and the tops are about as high as the pan itself. -- posted by buckeye1953

Garlic Fries Like Red Robins!

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:09:25 -0500

I love red robins fries and wanted to figure out how to make my own version of them sooooo here it is. If you dont like/love garlic this is not for you. They now sell sweet potato fries in the freezer section im sure you can sub them in this recipe... i have never tryed i do not like sweet potatos. I like to eat them when i make chili its a great change from the usual bread or corn chips. -- posted by Chef #1449594

Southern Cajun Italian Twist Chicken Bake

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:41:26 -0500

Prepare this dish in less than five minutes for the oven. Fast, but tastes like you simmered and fussed all day. It is similar to an Italian Chicken Bake recipe, but with a wonderful Southern Cajun Twist...thus, the name. Spice it up as hot as you like or simmer it down for those with sensitive tastebuds. Slide it in the oven and you will have a delicious, healthy meal to bookmark in your recipe box for future meals. -- posted by Southern Living Recipes by Mama

Hot pasta smoothered in mayonnaise and italian dressing. A teenagers dream or at least for my teen age friends and myself. I got this recipe from some friends "Kevin & Sue" many years ago when I was still a teenager. I loved this easy comfort food. We ate this for our dinner and sometimes snacks. This must be eaten warm or it's just not the same. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! This brings back so many great memories for me! -- posted by internetnut

Rachel's Super Easy & Fast Home Fries

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:00:57 -0500

Time-consuming home fries on my watch? Never! I had leftover potato "meat" from making potato skins so I made home fries with them, from 8 small potatoes without skins so that probably equals about 4 regular potatoes and 6 small ones. If you plan ahead on making home fries for breakfast, then you can pre-bake potatoes for this. Please note that cooking time does not account for baking the potatoes! This assumes that you have leftover baked potatoes and are using them this way. Raw or boiled potatoes will not work. This makes 1 large serving, if you plan on making enough for your family pre-bake more potatoes. NOTE: The amounts shown aren't an exact science, more to give you an idea and show that home fries can be made quickly :) -- posted by the80srule

Spiced Carrot and Lentil Curry (Winter Soup)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:51:51 -0500

I found this in the November 2009 issue of Alive magazine, I made this tonight and was blown away. Very tasty, very healthy and total comfort food on a cold winter night! It's fairly easy and quick to make and will make 4-6 good-sized bowls so everyone can cuddle up with one :) -- posted by Chef Kirsten (#1!)

Vegetarian Western Bacon Cheeseburger

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:16 -0500

I know, this sound weird. I've been a vegetarian for 5 years and there are some items I missed from my meat eating days. I was having a craving for a Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger one day and decided to vegetarianize it. This is super easy to make and tastes very much like the original. To save time and to make it taste more authentic, use onion rings from a fast food restaurant like Sonic. I prepared the burger while I send my boyfriend down the street to Sonic. Also, slightly burning the Lightlife Smart Bacon is what makes it taste like real bacon. -- posted by danakscully64

Lower Fat Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:11:07 -0500

This is a composite of several recipes in hopes of making a version that is less fattening, but still satisfying. There are other versions that use 2 tbsp fat free sour cream instead of the banana. There are many types of flour that have been cited, including rice flour for gluten free. Also different sweeteners available such as sucanat. Egg beaters can be substituted, and oil can be left out all together, substituted with apple sauce. -- posted by Chef #1450658

Pork Roast to Die For

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:05:35 -0500

I needed something tender and delectable--moist and melt-in-your-mouth like, that didn't require a whole lot of fuss. One pork roast and a crock pot's help later, perfection. I can't even tell you. How. Good. It. Really. Is. NOTE: When I say "boneless pork roast," it must be one of a boneless "blade/Boston/shoulder" cut. Every store labels them differently, but look for at least one of these labels. If it doesn't say that, don't bother. The roast should be well marbled, and have a decent layer (1/4-inch?) of fat on one side. -- posted by Battle in Seattle

Fiesta Chicken Torte

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:11:22 -0500

From Company's Coming - made it for dinner tonight and I loved it, especially since it didn't have any canned soup in it like many similar ones. The only change I made from the original is that I prefer black beans to kidney beans and I added more cumin and chili powder than this states as I like it spicier. -- posted by Cadillacgirl

The "best" Meatloaf Ever!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:38:39 -0500

My mother got this from my grandmother and her mother. The word meatloaf just doesn't sound appealing, but after making it for my husband for the first time, he was in love. Now everytime I make meatloaf he is on top of the world. This dish is even a child pleaser as my 4 year old daughter is begging for seconds. To make it a little healthier, I use a loaf pan with an insert so that the oil and grease from the beef drain away and the meatloaf is not sitting in it. -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy

Shrimp and Rice Casserole

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:31:40 -0500

I haven't made this yet but it sounds yummy to me. Recipe comes from The old Farmer's Almanac. It was submitted by Mrs. Henrietta McClellan. I'm thinking that cream of shrimp soup might be a good substitute for the cream of mushroom soup. At the holiday season this would be pretty made with red and green bell pepper. This casserole is also good topped with grated asiago or longhorn cheese. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Cauliflower Steaks With Cauliflower Purée

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:40 -0500

Originally found on Epicurious, great easy recipe. Few ingredients, big payoff: Large "steaks" are cut from a head of cauliflower, sautéed until golden, then baked until tender. They're served over a simple puree made from the cauliflower florets. An impressive first course, this can also be a lovely side. Just sear two mahi-mahi fillets in butter and place them alongside the cauliflower. -- posted by jwith12

Jamie Oliver Mac N Cheese

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:02:17 -0500

Jamie: ''Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any tubular pasta you want. I've made this dish my own by lightening it with sweet tomatoes and given it some crunch with delicious breadcrumbs. Just you wait till you try it! This dish isn't going to win any prizes in the nutrition department, but you can, and should, balance it with a nice salad. If you only have it once in a while as a special treat it'll do you no harm." Haven't tried it yet but it sounds so good so posted for safe keeping..

Sarasota's Easy Leftover Turkey, Leek and Potato Tart

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:55:39 -0500

A unique way to use up turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Add a couple of fresh ingredients and this goes together in no time. Now, if like many, who have steamed green beans for Thanksgiving, try reinventing them by a quick saute with shallots, mushrooms, and a little balsamic vinegar. Just 4-5 minutes and you have a great way to use up those beans and it makes a great side dish with this. And don't forget to use up that pumpkin pie in a parfait with honey whipped cream, walnuts and ginger snaps. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Tender and Spicy Molasses Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:45:15 -0500

This is a highly modified version of Old Fashioned Ginger Cakes by Rachel-Snachel . It is interesting because it uses no milk or eggs, and is devoid of refined sugar. This recipe's flavours are equilibrated for Blackstrap molasses, if you use regular molasses you might have to reduce the spices. This is a very nutritious, flavorful and comforting recipe on cold winter nights. Perfect if you are nervous, not too good if you feel agressive. -- posted by Blueberries and Mortar

These are yummy served by themselves or with some vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Heidigal

Grandma Linda's Thanksgiving Dressing

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:22:41 -0500

My mother has made this dressing for our family since I was a little girl. It is the only Thanksgiving dressing my family will eat. I would weigh 500 pounds if I made this dressing as often as I craved it! Although I know most people prefer holiday recipes that have been passed down in their own families, I hope you will enjoy this Thanksgiving dressing recipe that the McWell's have enjoyed for many, many years! My mother used Jiffy corn bread mix in the old days, then later switched to Marie Calender's corn bread mix. In this recipe, I am using the "sweet corn muffins" recipe on a box of Albers Yellow Corn Meal. Because I am using Albers brand corn meal, all ingredients up to "12 Tbs butter" are for this particular brand cornmeal. If using any other cornbread mix, follow directions on the box, then add ingredients beginning with "1 Lb bacon." This recipe is for Thanksgiving so it makes quite a large amount. Thanks Mom! -- posted by Mrs Cook

Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal. -- posted by Rachael Potter

My mother's cousin gave us this recipe. Diamond Jack's is a restaurant in Tulsa that is popular, and famous for their drip beef. I'm not sure if this is actually their recipe (I kind of doubt it) but it is very good and easy to make in a crockpot. -- posted by suseme

I got this recipe from my mother when I moved out of the house, becuase I wanted to make filipino food that she used to cook for us so that I can cook them for my family and keep passing down the recipes. This is one of my favorites! My family absolutely loves it. Its definately worth all the work done to make this dish. -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy

Chicken Stew (Mancunian and Economical)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:27:02 -0500

i made this from leftover roast chicken and leftover leek and potatoe soup (vegan), so my measurements are an estimate really, but use your initiative if it needs more water add more etc etc. intermediate cooks will get the idea, also you can add a dash of wine or lemon juice would be nice in this. The old lady (lillian) who we used to look after used to add a tin of campbells condensed chicken soup to her stew, you would do this, one day ill out on her roast chicken casserole and roast pheasent. -- posted by pornstarbarbie

A rye bread made with apple juice, apple butter, cardamom, and toasted walnuts. Can be made as two one-pound loaves, or as one two-pound loaf -- see bake times below!

Shell's Potato Soup With Carrots

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:11:53 -0500

I love to make variations on potato soup and this is one of our favorites! Potatoes and carrots are the main parts of this soup, but occasionally, I like to add one other fresh vegetable if I have it (only add one additional veggie in a small amount because you don't want to overpower the carrots & potatoes). I added some fried Okra recently (fried it first to get rid of the slimy-ness) and it was awesome! Also, you can vary the stock from chicken to beef to even veggie stock if you want. For this recipe, I'm going to use chicken broth, which is my favorite for this soup. To make the healthiest version, you can substitute butter for margarine, Cream for 2% Milk and remember to put bacon into your personal soup bowl. Sorry, scratch that - reverse everything I just said. Whatever you do, don't forget the bay leaf, as it's a critical flavor ingredient! So warm and filling and easy on the tummy - I hope you like it! -- posted by Chef #1296089

Granite City Inspired Meatloaf Recipe

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:28:08 -0500

I found this online and wanted to post it here. I just cooked it last night and it came out delicious. I served it with Bourbon Barbecue Sauce recipe #48289 and Mashed Red Potatoes With Garlic And Parmesan recipe #34382. My boyfriend loves Granite City's meatloaf and we really wanted to recreate it. He actually said this was better than GC's. Only thing missing was the onion straws. This is what the original poster said about the recipe "This is my 2nd attempt at copying the Granite City meatloaf. It is not quite right, but I think a substantial part of it is close. The end flavor is certainly in the ballpark." -- posted by Chef #965467

White Bean Chicken Chili

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:36:38 -0500

I looked for a long time for a good chili recipe, and never found one that quite did it...so I ended up with this, which is fairly simple, and lends itself pretty well to scaling up or down, and also lasts a good long time in a crockpot for parties and such. -- posted by pr0digal jenius
