Sweet Potato Turkey Hash

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:36:07 -0500

A happy accident when trying to make a healthy and filling brunch, made from combining a few different existing recipes. A good mix of veggies and meat with lots of flavor. Safe for South Beach phase 2 and good if you aren't on South Beach, too. Could also be a good way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers (mashed sweet potatoes could be used as well as diced turkey breast). -- posted by Cookalicious

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

Teriyaki Lemon Chicken (Quick and Easy)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:51:37 -0500

Teriyaki and lemon based chicken. This recipe my Mom used to make is to die for. Watch out - it's highly addictive!! You are guaranteed to overeat! :-) We always double the sauce amounts to make extra sauce (details below), and then thicken it with a little cornstarch. Wonderful served with sugar pea pods. Add pineapple for dessert! -- posted by Chef Shannon #5

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

Bread Pudding Carbonara

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:41:42 -0500

A savory bread pudding, makes a great brunch dish. Classic carbonara flavors. My own idea. I used 4 stale English muffins, cut into 3/4" cubes, but any crusty bread (baguette, ciabatta) would work well. -- posted by DrGaellon

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

A dear friend shared this recipe with me many years ago. The recipe became a favorite & I have used it for everything over the years. It has made it way to many a Girl Scout mtg, school party, potluck, etc. Tea Cakes became my family's favorite cookie at the holidays. It isn't Christmas without a platter of these & a bag for everyone to take home. They are good plain and sweeter with the glaze & icing. -- posted by Susie D

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

Fresh Cranberry Walnut Salad With Grapes

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:02:55 -0500

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

Sweet Braised Whole Scallions (Molly Stevens)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:55 -0500

This would be a fabulous, easy side dish for Thanksgiving. "As the scallions braise, the sweet anise flavor of the tarragon mingles with their oniony juices, giving the whole dish a candy-like sweetness. If you cant find fresh tarragon, or simply dont care for its taste, substitute fresh parsley or omit the herb altogether. The scallions will still taste delicious." Recipe is from "All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking" by Molly Stevens. -- posted by blucoat

I usually don't like pumpkin pie but I had to try this one and I loved it. It's different with the hazelnuts and coconut milk. From the Heidi of the blog 101cookbooks.

An easy and delicious recipe from Gourmet Magazine (March 1996). You can make this ahead of time and rewarm before serving (even in the microwave!). Perfect for Thanksgiving or a holiday meal. Another very good twist on this recipe is to replace the lime juice with balsamic vinegar and the scallions with shallots. Yum! -- posted by blucoat

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

Fluffy "cut-Out" Sugar Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:49:52 -0500

Have you ever had those sugar cookies at publix that are really fluffy and cake like? Well hear is that recipe. I think its the sour cream that makes it so fluffy. I also roll them out maybe 1/4 in thick and under cook them a little but thats probably a personal preference. They do take a little work just like any cut-out cookies but this is something that anytime I ask someone in our family what I can bring for dessert they always say this! I use my kitchen aid but before that I would use my hand blender as long as I could and then mix the last part of the flour in by hand. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by 998171

Pecan Pie Brownies -- Version II

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:43:37 -0500

Here's how to please chocolate lovers and pecan pie lovers with one scrumptious bar. These are the creation of Camilla V. Saulsbury and appeared in her book: Brownie Mix Bliss. These bars have a bottom of chewy chocolate brownie topped with the familiar brown sugar pecan goodness of pecan pie. The author prefers a cakey brownie to contrast with the pecan filling which is why she calls for the three eggs in the brownie batter. But if you want a fudgy brownie, reduce the eggs to 2. Do give these a try! -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Tom Yum Soup With Vegetables

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:14 -0500

Thai Tom Yum soup is a delicious and aromatic Thai soup. I crave this soup ALL of the time. I have brought this to parties and people always rave about it. Now friends always ask me to make it whenever we're getting together. I made it completely from scratch for years. A few years ago, I started using the paste and prefer it. I find it to be more flavorful. Tom Yum is distinctly known for it's hot and sour flavor. My version maintains the distinct hotness and sourness of the traditional soup but it also is slightly sweet and spicy. I make a side of jasmine rice and serve it with the soup. I noted the ingredients and amounts I use however, I encourage additions, deletions and alterations. I don't care for the mushrooms and I love broccoli which may come as a surprise to some. Broccoli is not a traditional component of this recipe but it's healthy and I find that it goes nicely with the broth. Play and have fun! -- posted by Proserpine79

Sweet and Savory Squash Stew

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:41:31 -0500

This recipe combines some of the most iconic tastes of fall--butternut and acorn squash, sweet potato, apple--in a sweet and savory pot of deliciousness. I recommend serving with a dollop of sour cream. And cornbread. All amounts for seasonings are estimates--I tend to season as I go and according to taste; I have a feeling these are underestimates. I will be sure to update the next time I make this with adjusted amounts. I used a smoked (pre-cooked) ham steak for this; I have also made it with other kinds of ham, with turkey sausage, and without meat altogether with positive results. -- posted by Tlharin

I found this recipebut I can't remember where. The cream cheese made them rich and smooth. It was very tasty. I don't think I cared for the ones rolled in unsweetened cocoa or coffee, but I guess it's individual. -- posted by suseme

This is my grandmother's recipe (obviously) and she made it at holidays. I remember sneaking into it when I was little, before everybody else got there. It's great with crackers, and I have also given them for Christmas presents. -- posted by suseme

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

This Crock Pot Stew is easy to make and allows the meat to become very tender while cooking. It has a Chinese taste due to the fish sauce and goes great with rice. -- posted by ChrisI

I normally don't like cauliflower, but my mom found this recipe I love. It is very effective for company because the presentation is unique since it's whole. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Buzymomof3
