Addictive Jalapeno Popper Bites

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:30:52 -0400

I've always loved those bacon wrapped jalapenos that people make at BBQ's but I could never eat them without either burning my mouth from the molten cream cheese filling or squirting it out all over myself. Not to mention how difficult it is to try and figure out how to roast a whole jalapeno on the BBQ without the filling leaking out. So, I came up with this variation and it has been the first thing gone at every party since!! -- posted by MPetty679

Tuna & Cherry Pepper Sandwiches

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:43:18 -0400

Found this recipe in Cowgirl Cuisine by Paula Disbrowe. In the book she says "her life sounds like a fantasy." After working as food editor at a magazine in NYC - Paula Disbrowe moved to Rio Frio, Texas, to be the chef at Hart & Hind Fitness Ranch. Not long after in 2005, she and her husband bought a 100 acre working ranch in Texas's Nueces Canyon. She shares recipes that exemplify ranch eating but with a lighter approach, like her chili made with turkey, white beans and sage, and tostadas topped with shredded chicken and crunchy citru slaw.

These were my favorite cookies growing up. I always requested my mother make them for my birthday. They look gorgeous - the mere sight of them filled me with excitement.

Vegetarian Portobello French Dip Sandwich

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:38:15 -0400

This incredible sandwich is the signature dish at the much-loved Seattle restaurant, Café Flora. The recipe is printed in the "Café Flora Cookbook". It's really a delicious sandwich and will please vegetarians and carnivores alike. It's easy to make vegan too. Start by preparing the mushroom essence (which can be made ahead of time). Unused French Dip Spread can be frozen. The mushroom essence (basically a reduced mushroom stock) can be made to add intense mushroom flavour to risottos, pastas, soups... -- posted by blucoat

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:39 -0400

I didn't mark a "cuisine" for these, because they're a real Heinz 57! Dolmades are Middle Eastern/Greek, but these are my strange variation. Most people don't know, that you can pick your own grape leaves early in the spring, while they're tender, and just pickle them in water and vinegar - there's nothing special about the grape leaves you buy in the store. They reheat just fine in the microwave. -- posted by BritHans

Autumn Maple Pecan Layer Cake With Penuche Fudge Frosting

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:08:20 -0400

This wonderful cake recipe is an adapted one from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. The penuche fudge frosting is an old Southern recipe. Makes a very attractive presentation, especially when the cake plate is adorned with beautiful autumn leaves. This cake freezes beautifully, just allow the cake to defrost completely before filling and frosting the layers. I recommend Canadian or Vermont maple syrup and Georgia or Texas pecans, but you can use any pure maple syrup and could use walnuts, although we prefer pecans in this recipe. -- posted by BecR

Gourmet Danish Bitty Almond Cakes

NOTE: you need muffin and/or mini-muffin pans to do this! From a cooking magazine, this is a delicious taste of Copenhagen that makes a lovely finger food dessert for dinner parties and high teas. (Or in my case, getting drunk with my friends watching The Golden Girls.) For the almond paste, I recommend Recipe #389810 rather than storebought. Since I use a convection oven, I had to adjust the time downward. Yields about 24 mini-muffin sized cakes. -- posted by the80srule

Mushroom Garlic Cream Tarts

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:20:21 -0400

This is a recipe from Pillsbury.com. l always have to double the recipe because they get eaten up so fast. People can't believe it only take 15 minutes to throw these little gems together. If you end up doubling the recipe, I suggest using just 3 Tbsp butter and 3/4 cup cream. Otherwise the filling can get a little runny. This is a very easy recipe to change according to your tastes. Substitute olives for mushrooms, use chives, chopped nuts, even artichoke hearts, whatever you like. I also generally use margarine, light cream and low fat crescent rolls and they're still delicious. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Enjoy!! -- posted by quiet603

Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips, Easy Cheap Mexican Snack Food

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:40:44 -0400

Corn tortillas (used in making Oaxaca-style quesadillas) are available at international and Latin grocery stores, and if you live in a large Latin-American community like I do then you can find corn tortillas in bags of 20-30 for like $2 or less at major grocery stores. Flour tortillas probably won't work as well for this and definitely won't have the corn flavor and base. Never spend money on premade again! You can also control how large or small you want to make them (and keep them seasoned or not) not to mention salt content if you're watching sodium intake. 32 chips is all I could fit on my convection oven's cookie sheet so feel free to use more tortillas; the methodology is all the same. You won't believe how easy it is to get restaurant-style tortilla chips without any icky unnatural ingredients! -- posted by the80srule

Bed and Breakfast Spiced Pumpkin Scones With Honey Butter

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:04:21 -0500

Gorgeous spiced pumpkin scones with honey butter - what a treat for the tea-time table during autumn and winter. I have made these twice now and love the combination of the honey butter with the scones, although they are also delicious with plain unsalted butter. This recipe came from an Australian "Olive" magazine that was sent to me, apparently, Queensland is famous for its blue pumpkins where this recipe originates from - I added the spices as well as the honey butter! A wonderful recipe for the cooler months, but as it uses tinned or frozen pumpkin, these can be made all year around. If you don't want to serve these with the honey butter, just split them whilst warm and spread with normal butter or cream. Mixed spice is a British spice mixture, I have a recipe for this on RZ: Recipe #266688 -- posted by French Tart

Barbecued Shrimp BLT Sandwich With Lemon Butter Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:39:37 -0500

This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe and it is delicious! I found it again when I was surfing the net - as always, looking for something else, and voila I found it! I had eaten this a long time ago when a friend prepared it for us, my friend left for somewhere in Cuba -- never to be heard of again, more than likely she is very busy trying to build a house for her folks wheeling and dealing, so as to get what she needs -- she doesn't have time to write and then find someone that she trusts to deliver the letter to me! Anyway -- the recipe is truly wonderful! :) Wine pairing: If you're feeling adventurous try a full and oakey Chardonnay from Australia like Rosemount, Petaluma or Lindemans. This dish goes great with a number of the micro brews, such as Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or the most popular Samuel Adams. -- posted by Manami

Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:00:53 -0500

I had misplaced this recipe and recently found it again. When DD was in Kindergarten the children had to take turns bringing a snack to school for everyone to share and DD loved to bring these cookies. I love this recipe because it doesn't require refrigeration before rolling out and because the cookies always turned out beautifully. The recipe is from a little booklet called Wilton Christmas Recipes & Ideas. Note: If you're using margarine, be sure to use the hard margarine that comes in a brick like butter, not soft tub margarine. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

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
