French Apple-Custard Pie

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:16:15 -0400

To save time - we are going to use a prebaked 9" pie crust. The custard for this pie is so very delicious that we have had to make it 2 Sundays in a row. Cuisine at home eRECIPES.We are going to use this recipe for one of the desserts for Thanksgiving - all family members and residents are invited :) That means we have 150 residents and there are 2 family members per person - approximately 400 that evening - WOW. ;) -- posted by Manami

Almond Tahini Date Balls

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:55:41 -0400

Very Middle Eastern and very tasty. A somewhat sophisticated brunch treat if you will, and would also make awesome finger food for tea or a dinner party. Especially if it's one of those where the meal is light but hors d'oeuvres are heavy. And can you believe this awesome treat is healthy and vegan? I couldn't! For some ideas, try a mix of Chinese red dates (I used 100%) with traditional dates. Put in a dash of ground pistachio and/or cardamom, how about a teensy bit of honey? There's a lot more I plan on doing with that huge thing of almonds I bought at BJ's. Found on the internet somewhere, don't remember where. If this is your recipe or you know where it came from, just drop me a line so I can give credit where it is due. -- posted by the80srule

Asa Ransom House Brownie Mania

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:13:32 -0400

In 1799, the Holland Land Company offered lots 10 miles apart in what is now Clarence, New York, to "any proper man who would build and operate a tavern upon it". A young silversmith named Asa Ransom, had been plying his trade in the little fur trading post on the shores of Lake Erie. He was among the first to accept this opportunity and in the hollow of the ledge, near a pine grove, built a log home & tavern. In 1803, he built a grist mill, the first in Erie County. Over time, the business has evolved into a charming inn noted for it's authenticity, hospitality and cuisine. -- posted by Molly53

This is my standard recipe for banana bread, been making it for years, it describes itself as so easy that your children can try their hand at it! It always turns out well for me, and I am not much of a baker. It comes from "The Best Of Winning Recipes", a compilation of recipes from a popular South African magazine, "Huisgenoot".

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Pecan Pie Cheesecake With Caramel-Pecan Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:41:32 -0500

The better the quality of the bourbon you use, the better the flavor in both the cheesecake and the sauce. For a simpler dessert, skip the cheesecake and serve the delectable sauce over pound cake or ice cream. I have been making cheesecakes for a long time but this took my breath away and it is scrumptious! ;) CuisineAtHome - Issue 78, December 2009..Cooling times have not been included, about 3 to 24 hours. -- posted by Manami

Old World Butter Horns

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:31:20 -0500

Light and flaky filled cookie. One of my mother's dear friends, a woman of German heritage, shared this recipe with her more than 40 years ago. At the time, it had been in her family for more than 100 years! It has always been my favorite cookie for special occasions and still is. We use two variations for the filling: the traditional orange date nut filling provided here or, mincemeat, a family favorite, during the holiday season. The filled cookies freeze well and can be baked off straight from the freezer. For best results, be certain that the dough is thoroughly chilled before rolling out and that the filling has cooled completely before use. -- posted by Hotelier in Holland

Healthy Granola Bars

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:54:10 -0500

I was searching for a healthy granola bar recipe, one without butter and any added sugar. I came upon one called "grab-and-go breakfast bars", which I changed up to make this recipe. You can use any combination of nuts/fruits that you would like. I just used what sounded good to me, and it came out great! These granola bars have about 4g fiber and 4g protein in a serving, and make a great snack. -- posted by Chef #1360260

Rich and Chewy Pecan Pie Muffins!

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:38:39 -0500

This recipe came from Trisha Yearwood, who married Garth Brooks and wrote a cookbook called Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma kitchen with a forward by Garth Brooks himself! Gotta try these! :) Be sure to use paper liners in the muffin tins and spray them with nonstick spray; otherwise, they will crumble when you peel off the liners. This recipe also makes great mini muffins; just shorten the baking time by 5 minutes. You might also try using oat flour instead of all purpose for a healthier muffin. -- posted by Sharon123

Coconut-Orange Thumb Print Cookies

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:50:48 -0500

Adding this to my holiday cookie trays. Adapted from a recipe in The Seattle Times provided by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. Something wonderful about orange at Christmas. Coconut is always so festive too. The article noted this dough really benefits from resting overnight in the refrigerator so start the day before. Over working this dough seems to make tough cookies - think I'll be using cake flour. Prep time does not include overnight dough chilling. -- posted by Buster's friend

I haven't tried this recipe yet but I couldn't pass up posting it because I don't want to lose it and others might enjoy a "legal" cookie recipe. I'm totally guessing at the yield. Zaar is listing the calorie and fat content (mostly fron the nuts) for a dozen cookines. Dividing 12 into that amount breaks down to each cookie having 33.5 calories. If you wish to lower it more just use less nuts. -- posted by Annacia

Connies Apple Cake Recipe

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:14:30 -0500

My mom used to make this during the holidays. A very long time family tradition, been around for many generations. This is a very sweet, rich dessert, moist and a bit crumbly because of the chunks of apples and pecans. Not the 'normal' birthday cake-like texture. Great with a big glass of milk or hot cup of coffee. The mix ends up being very thick and a little stiff to mix, but don't worry... it is totally worth it. Warning: This apple cake is addictive! Thanks Mom, we all miss you dearly! -- posted by Chef #549456

Coconut Ice - Old-Fashioned Sweet Shop Coconut Candy

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:49:09 -0500

A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum's recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum's recipe originated either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

A four layer, dark cocoa, walnuts & coconut cake with the smoothest chocolate cream cheese icing you've ever tasted. ------ My wife made this recipe by combining my Italian Cream Cake recipe with the chocolate cake recipe off the back of the Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa can.

German Chocolate Cookies

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:23:31 -0500

Found in the Washington Post who attributed it to cookbook author Sally Sampson's "Cookies". The dough can be frozen for up to two months. The cookies keep 5 days room temp in an airtight container (good for mailing!) & two weeks in the freezer after being baked (handy!). NOTE: To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 325-degree oven, shaking the sheet occasionally, for 15 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts burn quickly. *****these were one of the first gobbled up cookies on our Christmas trays! They are very dark & lumpy bumpy - suspicious looking in fact - but once tried were scooped up fast!****** -- posted by Buster's friend

Golden Coconut Macaroons

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:56:31 -0500

Who can resist a pretty little macaroon sitting on a Christmas platter; the hand just goes for them. O-M-G! Macaroons made richer with the use of whole eggs! I am imagining this dipped in bittersweet chocolate (toes curling in anticipation LOL!)... Found this gem in The Washington Post who adapted it from a Jayne Sutton recipe in "Cookies Unlimited," by Nick Malgieri. Make room on the platters, these little babies are coming on board! Pssst! Super easy to make too! based on the review I made some chnges when I got to this recipe today. They turned out fluffy & chewy (& ORANGE!). I put my changes in parentheses so the original recipe is still here too. I suspect letting the mix sit for an hour would help if using 2 eggs. BTW - I recommend NEVER buying the Hiram Walker's Pumpkin Spice Brandy - undrinkable in anything but oddly enough worked well here. Go figure. I have enough for Christmas macaroons until... well, a long time. -- posted by Buster's friend

I was in the mood for all three and concocted this: it has the urban decadence of chocolate, the tropical staple of coconut, and the rustic comfort of classic oatmeal. These bars are special because those three things symbolize the various walks of life I have experienced. Open for all kinds of other toppings too!

Chunky Nut and Dried Fruitcake

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:16:43 -0500

No candied fruits! I made a similar fruitcake last year and was anxious to make it again as it was delicious. It has just enough batter to hold all the luscious ingredients together. I searched everywhere and finally found this which is really close. I use a silicone tube pan. I've fallen in love with the silicone bakeware. Recipes never stick! This came originally from the Better Homes and Gardens Annual Recipes, 2008. I substituted butter for the shortening to avoid trans fats, and walnuts for Brazil nuts for taste. Last year I bought the bags of dried blueberries and cherries separately...a little pricey. But this year I found a mixed bag of dried berries at Costco. It had just enough and a little more of each. -- posted by Gigi #23

Gluten-Free Date Pecan Muffins

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:02:03 -0500

Satisfying and highly nutritious, these lightly sweetened muffins have chunks of date (a good source of potassium, calcium and iron) and pecan (high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants) in every bite, and are sweetened with low-glycemic agave nectar. From the book " The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook" by Elena Amsterdam, this recipe calls for blanched almond flour (Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour WILL NOT work for this recipe-it is too coarse). Blanched almond flour can be found at www.nutsonline.com, www.honeyvillegrain.com, or www.lucyskitchenshop.com. -- posted by FloridaNative

Whole Wheat Applesauce Cookies

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:01:11 -0500

My favorite cookie recipe! These are moist, chewy and delicious. Because most of the sweetness and the moisture comes from the applesauce rather than fat or sugar, not to mention the whole-wheat flour, I don't feel guilty about sneaking one or two of these for breakfast! -- posted by CorianneW

Rab Torte (Rapska Torta)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:31:56 -0500

It is believed that Rab Torte was served for the first time in 1177. when Pope Alexander III, escorted by his ten galleys, was overtaken by a storm as he was crossing the Adriatic, and took cover under the cliffs and in the harbors of Croatian island Rab (and town), and thus by a quirk of fate arrived in Rab just after the renovation of the Cathedral of the Assumption, which he consecrated on the occasion. In order to enhance this unexpected ceremony and to express their respect, nuns of the Benedict order served him cake on the host Rab cake. The original recipe for the first Rab cake is kept in the archives of the Benedictine abbey of St. Andrew on the southern coast of island Rab. I am posting the recipe of madam Dunja from Vilma Patisserie from town Rab. -- posted by nitko

Date Balls

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:39:55 -0500

Alternative version of my recipe for Algerian Date Balls that calls for anise in the recipe. My husband and I don't care for the anise, so I tweeked the recipe and used the rice crispy cereal version. my husband loves them. You may also decide to roll into flaked coconut tinted with food coloring for a festive look instead of the powdered sugar. :) Prep time includes cooling time. -- posted by Kamsgrl

Slovenian Traditional - Prekmurska Gibanica

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:20:54 -0500

The best way to translate the name is folded cake. This is one of the most famous and loved Slovenian dishes. It comes from our most eastern region Prekmurje whose cousine is inspired by Hungarian and Austrian traditions. The recipe is very old and varies a little from family to family. I got this one from a Slovenian cookbook to be certain that all the measurements are correct. The preparation takes quite some time but it is all worth it. -- posted by Meme*
