Spicy Indian Potatoes

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:22:13 -0500

I got this recipe from manjulaskitchen.com. It was so delicious we just ate it without any bread or accompaniment. I didn't even have time to take a picture because it was all gone! Maybe next time. The actual recipe states to boil the potatoes first, but I just added them to the pan and let them cook in the pan with the other ingredients. I don't know if the version below is exactly the same as from the website, but it's how I made it. -- posted by browniepie

Eggplant Pizza

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:34:21 -0500

In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto. -- posted by California Girl in Brazil

Curried Chicken, Lentil & Mushroom Skillet

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:41:37 -0500

A gluten-free, comfort food dinner, completed in one skillet. (The secret is a hint of coconut! I use 'young coconut juice with pulp' to save on unnecessary sugar & calories. The plain yogurt stirred in at the end is not a necessity, but it does add a little tang and makes the sauce look nice & rich. -- posted by Food Addict!

Pork Chops With Hoisin and Lime

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:55:09 -0500

People seem to love my Slow-Cooked Korean Beef recipe (#367376), so here's another one I also adore. These pork chops are soooo delicious! I have made them both on the BBQ and on an indoor grill, and also both with thin and thick pork chops, and it is delectable every time. Recipe is based on one that appeared in Canadian Living. My family is addicted to them. -- posted by JacquelynLee

Vinyl Lager Crock Roast

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:11:58 -0500

I bought a six pack of Magic Hat's spring seasonal (Vinyl), and loved it so much I wanted to cook with it. Since I normally use deep, dark beers (like Guinness) to cook, and usually only for beef or vegetable stew, this was a bit of an experiment. All day, my apartment smelled AMAZING. Since I had to buy a three pound roast (the grocery store seems to only have VERY large roasts), and I'm only cooking for two people, this made a LOT of leftovers. I don't usually measure anything, so I'm guessing on a lot of this. Adjust everything to your taste. As for the veggies, I used two small white potatoes, 1/4 of a large vidalia onion, and about 1/2 cup of sliced carrots. Use what you like! The blend of spices is my usual go-to blend, again... use what you like. Recipes are made to be adapted! -- posted by IndinaMarie

Granny's Chili (With Noodles)

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:18:31 -0500

This is the chili recipe that I grew up with that was passed down from my Granny, to my mom, to me! I absolutely adore it, even if it's not a purist's idea of chili. Yes, there is canned Chili in the recipe, but it's still delicious and super easy. It makes plenty to freeze and reheat whenever you don't feel like making dinner! -- posted by Sara Bates

Best Ever Beef Stew

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:33:47 -0500

I found an Emeril LaGasse recipe for Beef Stew with Cheesy Fried Grits and changed it around for my taste. My family loved it to the point my grandsons fought over the left-overs. I served it with cheese toast istead of messing with frying grits. There are a lot of ingredients, but by preping everything in advance, it went together quickly. -- posted by GrammaMikki

Pasta Alla Cacio E Pepe

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:11:01 -0500

This is purported to be "the best quick meal" we've ever tasted, as per Yvonne Ruperti in Cook's Illustrated. There are two other recipes for cacio e pepe (pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper) on RecipeZaar, but this one adds at least one more ingredient to keep the cheese from turning into a big clump. Add cream. This recipe was reprinted as "recipe of the week" in The Week magazine. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Sarah's Secret Recipe Refried Beans

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:11:43 -0500

I have been making this recipe for years. It is a very simple recipe and it always meets rave reviews. I prefer it with bacon fat (I'm the sort of person who keeps bacon drippings in a canister in the refrigerator), but if you don't have any on hand, or want to make this recipe vegetarian, it tastes almost as good with vegetable oil. Black beans are my favorite, but you can also make this recipe with nearly any other type of canned bean. I've used pinto, kidney, cannelli and even chickpeas. Use this as a dip or a filling for burritos. -- posted by SarahCKS

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:34:14 -0500

absolutely delicious! From my most cherished cookbook: Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites. No vegetarian kitchen should be without it. To make these completely vegan, be sure to get Chinese wonton wrappers (either from your local Asian food store or from the freezer section of a good grocery). Melissa's wonton wrappers, and other brands, typically sold in the produce section of grocery stores contain EGGS. -- posted by Chef #767224

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Chili Your Way

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:26:59 -0500

This recipe originally came from one of those Gooseberry Patch cookbooks but I added more ingredients and doctored this chili up quite a bit. When I first tried it, it seemed to need more than the original recipe. Here is what I came up with and usually it's a hit. I like to add a little red pepper flakes (not cayenne) cause with the pepper flakes you can play around with the temp of it. I like this on hot dogs too! This is definately one of those recipes that you can eyeball without measuring and fit to your liking! ps- I do not eat venison, but made this recipe using venison and people went even more crazy for it! guess it must taste just as good as the ground beef version? -- posted by D.

BBQ Beef

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:35:45 -0500

We recently invested in a whole brisket for the purposes of making beef jerky. Out of 14 lbs. of untrimmed meaty goodness I ended up with -- 6 pounds of meat suitable for slicing into jerky, a roughly equivalent amount of fat and scraps (which my father's dogs are currently enjoying), and a 2 lb. hunk o' brisket that was too marbled with fat to make good jerky out of. So, instead, I gave it a treatment similar to how I make pulled pork, minus the long soak in the crockpot. -- posted by Cactuscat

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395

I adapted my chicken fricassee recipe to use up post-Thanksgiving leftovers. If you want to make the chicken version, simply exchange cooked chicken for the cooked turkey. -- posted by Cactuscat

The sauce for this pizza came about when we decided we wanted to try and emulate the white garlic sauce you can get on Papa Murphy's pizza. -- posted by Cactuscat

Steamed Taiwanese Meatloaf

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:18:14 -0500

Got this recipe from my friend's mom, who makes it with pork. I haven't tried it with the pork, only turkey. Kids love this recipe - it goes well over rice. Best part is that it takes no time at all to make. On days when I don't have time, I simply mix everything together beforehand, cover it in saran wrap and throw the Corel bowl (which I can put directly into a steamer) into the fridge until 30 minutes before dinner time. To avoid using the chicken bouillon I have tried using chicken broth, but I really see no difference in taste. So I normally just make it using water and skipping the chicken bouillon altogether. -- posted by Fluffkins

Slow Cooker Chicken and Cornbread

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:41 -0500

Usually I work too much to get any use out of my slow cooker, but on snow days I can put it to good use and make this delicious comfort food. I originally had the inspiration for this recipe at Garryowen Irish Pub in Gettysburg, PA. I've done my best to re-create the textures and flavors of their dish on my own. -- posted by Sanana71

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79

Honey Mustard Baked Chicken

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:24:34 -0500

I found this in a Cookshelf: Chicken cookbook, and tried it, because my hubby loves honey mustard so much. It was a hit! The sauce it actually for 8 pieces of chicken, but we liked extra drizzled on top of the chicken after it came out, so it worked out better for 4 pieces. So if you don't want extra sauce on it in the end, go for 8 pieces of chicken. -- posted by Miss JJ
