Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:56:30 -0500

Winter Squash Baked With Maple Syrup

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:00:03 -0500

Lacinto Kale Salad With Dried Cranberries and Walnuts

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:53:41 -0500

Another delicious Anna Thomas recipe. It's strongly recommended to use Lacinto kale (also known as dinosaur, black or Tuscan) in this recipe and not standard kale. Also, I tried myzithra cheese in the salad and used very little sea salt. -- posted by Cookgirl

Crock-Pot Beef Stew

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:51:16 -0500

Easy, and delicious. Great for chilly autumn or winter days with a loaf of warm crusty bread. The best part, for me, is that you don't even need to brown the beef first! -- posted by Hippie2MARS

Green Tomato Bread

I got this recipe out of a cookbook that a friend gave to me. I love to make this. It is an easy recipe that I have made over and over again. It is so delicious also. Make sure that you watch them carefully when you place t hem in the oven they can burn easily. And also make sure that you use "Water Biscuit Crackers", the hold the mushroom mixture very well. -- posted by Carol Ann #3

Baked Apples Stuffed With Cranberries and Almonds

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:18:43 -0500

Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom - though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert -- perhaps with whipped cream.

Our Favorite Chili

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:32:31 -0500

I came up with this recipe one night after I couldn't find my usual one. It came out delicious so I wrote down what I did and it has become our new favorite. It is a little sweeter than most chili recipes, but I think that is why my children have no problem eating it. -- posted by cookinupfun

Ten Mothers Garlic and Spinach Soup

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:06:17 -0500

Found this recipe on Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ten-mothers-garlic-and-spinach-soup.html Adapted from The Roasted Vegetable, by Andrea Chesman (Harvard Common Press, 2002). This delicious broth, redolent with garlic and enriched with the vitamins and minerals of fresh spinach, takes its name from an old folk saying that garlic is as good as ten mothers. This soup is not only tasty and nourishing, it makes a comforting remedy for winter sniffles and sneezes. -- posted by SassiFras

Acorn Squash With Citrus and Chile

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:04:43 -0500

I really enjoy acorn squash and can't wait until the fall crop is ready each year. Zaar has a ton of recipes with acorn squash stuffed with just about everything, but after an extensive search I couldn't find one similar to this one. I was surfing the 'net and found this recipe at the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/acorn-squash-with-citrus-and-chile.html Care2 says this about recipe: Something magic happens when you roast an autumn squashit transforms from a hard, grainy, starchy thing to a mellow, creamy, sweet miracle. Matching autumn squash with flavors like cinnamon and brown sugar is a natural; but we found a recipe that adds tart and spicy to the sweet taste of acorn squash, that is fresh and surprising but still warm and comforting. Why not switch things up a bit with this roasted acorn squash with chili and citrus! -- posted by SassiFras

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:05:12 -0500

Val's Cranberry Salsa

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:27:48 -0500

My friend Val shared this recipe with me last year. It is a new favorite, and one that I plan on taking many places over the holiday season, as it is different. Best served with Wheat Thins, this salsa is yummy and a must try! The original recipe called for a 1 pound package of cranberries; I've found that fresh cranberries are now packaged in 12 oz. portions, and this size works. Don't forget to allow time for chilling, to allow flavors to develop...This will make enough for 2 blocks of cream cheese, so you have 1 to serve, and 1 to share! -- posted by alligirl

Glazed Roasted Chestnuts

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:20:13 -0500

Yes! Hot roasted chestnuts need only a touch of salt. But once cooled this is the way to reheat them adding more sweet nutty flavor. To roast chestnut check out Recipe #108746 or buy jarred shelled chestnuts. If you make a lot you can chop them and add to a stuffing/ dressing, soup or use in a dessert. -- posted by ~Rita~

Bill Yosse's White House Apple Pie

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:06:30 -0500

Came across this in The Seattle Times. Pie without an exquisite crust is simply not the real thing. They said, "White House pastry chef Bill Yosses' light, flaky pie crusts have earned him the nickname "The Crustmaster" from President Barack Obama." This recipe is adapted from Bill Yosses, White House Pastry chef - hope this version is as good as the one being served in the White House. Note it makes use of lard, the secret of all great pastry. Just in time for prime pie making! Use a good cooking apple for this pie. -- posted by Buster's friend

Pumpkin Squares With Cider Caramel Sauce

First published in Family Fun magazine Oct.09 edition. Great alternative to pumpkin bread. Taste great w/ vanilla ice cream, caramel cider sauce or just caramel ice-cream topping. Also can enjoy plain. Great way to sneak some veggies to your kids! Recipe calls for sugar, but try using a sugar alternative for a more healthier snack. -- posted by Navy Wife Chef

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread With Crystalized Ginger

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:36:06 -0500

This is a great recipe for fall. I love the taste of the pumpkin and spice and the contrast of the tart cranberries. However, the crystalized ginger is what did it for me. I had it on hand for another recipe I use it for and decided to throw it in. This is my new go-to pumpkin bread. -- posted by Chef #1444598

Perfect Chicken Corn Chowder

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:48:41 -0500

I've never had a better one. Been making this for years. Use a chablis, sauvignon blanc or any not-sweet similar white wine; it need not be a great wine but the wine DOES add that certain something. I've even been known to add a tiny splash of dry sherry at the finish. The soup is filling and delicious. Also freezes well. A vintage recipe, from my "olde" recipe file. I'll tell you how old it is: it calls for 17 oz. cans of creamed corn! I have no idea where the recipe came from originally! -- posted by Jezski

Roasted Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:14:23 -0500

This is my adaptation of several squash recipes I've seen. This is a great recipe for a first course of dinner, lunch or snack. It can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time (bring to work!). Reheat refrigerated soup before adding garnish. For vegan option, use Vegetable stock rather than chicken stock, substitute olive oil for the butter and omit the cream. Make sure to use a vegan wine as well. -- posted by Austin Vegas

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

This is a perennial favorite for Thanksgiving! It's adapted from a recipe for Spiced Baked Apples by Lorraine Chausse on allrecipes. The pears make a really lovely presentation for dinner parties and can cook while you eat dinner. The recipe states 6 servings, but you can also halve them and just ladle the sauce over the half. These are yummy served by themselves or with some vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Heidigal

Pear Caramel Crumb Pie

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:30:15 -0500

I wanted to make a pear pie with a pecan crumb topping, but sometimes the sweetness of such a topping can make a plain fruit filling seem tart. Inspiration came from a jar of pear cinnamon caramel dessert sauce I had in my fridge. The flavors blend perfectly, and the pecans give a nice crunch to the topping. We also have heart-health issues in my family, so unlike most crumb recipes, this one doesn't use butter. -- posted by akageorge

Classic Crustless Pumpkin Pie - 2 Ww Pts.

Delicious and no guilt attached. Heck - eat half the pie! :) No, it doesn't slice and serve like a pie with a crust, but it's worth giving that up if you are watching your calories. I like it and so do my DS's! Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Blondies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:15:40 -0500

From The Best 50 collection of cookbooks. This is straight out of the Brownies and Blondies edition. A little of this goes a LONG way! Not really a blondie by my standards, but it passes off as an interesting bar-type dessert. PLEASE NOTE: Because most people are not really used to tasting molasses, it may take a few bites to fall in love with this recipe. I did not like it at all when I first tried it. But, after giving it a second bite, I found I can't get enough of it. This seemed to happen with EVERYONE who tried it. So, please, before giving an unhappy review, try it again. If you find that the molasses is just too much to handle, try cutting the topping ingredients in half. It really does make a lot of topping as it is. I hope you enjoy this! -- posted by the_cookie_lady

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
