Pineapple Oatmeal Pancakes (Gluten-Free)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:44:38 -0500

Oh my gosh these are AWESOME! This can of pineapple on the counter was calling to me, and my husband can't eat wheat, so if I make pancakes they're gonna have oats in them. Plus, the Tahitian Pancakes came up on Heroes in the past week or so, so that's on my mind. I combined two different recipes that I found online, one for pineapple pancakes and one for oatmeal pancakes. Neither one is like this new version though. SO AWESOME! One last thing, I used coconut milk instead of cow milk, since my husband is also on this non-dairy kick. This recipe makes A LOT of pancakes, and they're very filling. Store uneaten pancakes in the fridge and have breakfast all week! -- posted by kitchengrrl

Grapefruit Brulee

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:27:38 -0500

Growing up I never would eat heated cereal. My mother would make me toasted grapefruit with cinnamon and sugar so I would have a warm meal in my belly before leaving for school. I hadn't thought about that in years until I came across a similar recipe in Susie Fishbein's Kosher by Design Lightens Up. -- posted by Feeding my Family

English Apple Chutney

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:49:03 -0500

So good I ate a whole jar in a matter of days! A great way to use sour cooking apples if you have an apple tree in your garden. Its quite simple to make so don't be put off by the long list of ingredients. Granny smith apples work well but don't try and use other common eating varieties of apple as it just won't work. Date syrup is available in larger supermarkets and middle eastern or asian stores, you could use brown sugar but date syrup adds a deeper note that I think makes it special. The result is a mellow, smooth chutney that you could never buy in any store. -- posted by robd16

Mole Poblano Classico -- Classic Mexican Poblano Sauce

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:54:45 -0500

Mole is a rich, dark, reddish-brown and smooth sauce made spicy and robust with a depth of flavor from a creative blend of seasonings that most often includes dried chiles, onion, garlic, and ground seeds (such as sesame or pumpkin (pepitas). But its best-known ingredient is unsweetened Mexican chocolate, which is used sparingly. Mole poblano is the sauce most commonly known outside of Mexico as mole sauce, although there are many different types. Courtesy of the Whole Chile Pepper Book, this classic Mexican sauce is excellent with poultry; serve it over a turkey or chicken breast. It is also terrific as a sauce over shredded chicken or turkey enchiladas. -- posted by Molly53

Rob's Mango and Chilli Chutney

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:12:44 -0500

Adding 1 of the mangoes at the end, means that this chutney retains a superb fresh flavour. Can be left in the fridge for 1 month or preserved and canned for over 1 year (follow the canning notes link on home page) Lovely with Indian or Mexican food or to enhance a cooked meat and cheese platter. Add a spoonful to curries or mix with cold shredded chicken, curry powder and mayonnaise for a lovely baked potato or sandwich filling. Just make sure your mangoes are really ripe and soft. -- posted by robd16

Mango Milk Crush

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:21:46 -0500

A really refreshing and different way to eat mango. I was served this drink on the beach in Rio one time and turned my nose up at it (I'd asked for mango juice and don't really like milk drinks) but I was pleasantly surprised to find how well the sweet creamy milk went down with the loose crushed slippery mango. Don't think of this as a drink though do serve it in a glass. This is more like eating peaches and cream. Fantastic. -- posted by robd16

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

Apple Batter Pudding

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:36:31 -0500

This is much nicer than it perhaps sounds, its proper stick to your ribs material and makes a quick cheap supper time pudding, it is in fact a sweet type of Yorkshire pudding. The golden syrup and evaporated milk are essential if you want the full experience especially as the pudding itself is not very sweet. Old fashioned pudding goodness mmmm! -- posted by robd16

Breakfast or Dessert Smoothie

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:44:33 -0500

Smoothies are a great way to get your daily servings of fruit, vegetables and dairy. I have one of these with a veggie-laden breakfast bagel, and another one after dinner. Mixing up which types of fruit you use ensures a great variety of flavors as well as your full range of vitamins, so these things never get old! Try berries for your frozen fruit and something tropical for your fresh fruit, or use cherries and an extra banana with chocolate milk for a treat every now and then. -- posted by Alexander Mar

Take a trip to the Farmer's Market with your kids and choose fruits to make a fresh fruit salad! Serve your fruit salad as a snack or with a meal. This salad is best when eaten as soon as it is ready. Each serving is 1/2 cup. I found this recipe in a Cornell Cooperative Extention leaflet.

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

I have always loved doughnuts and danishes for breakfast. Once I started eating healthier, I really missed them.

You can also use sliced strawberries or peaches in place of the blueberries, or a little sugar free jam. -- posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

Spiced Baked Pears

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:05:52 -0500

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

Maryland Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:53:56 -0500

Another Dixie meal that combines sweet and savoury elements, who would have thought that banana and chicken would work so well together. Everything originally would have been deep fried in batter but I prefer this slightly lighter version. The sweetcorn fritters are a must and can be made whilst the chicken is cooking in no time. I'm not sure if this recipe comes from the state of Maryland, USA but to be honest I don't really care! Satisfying to the very last mouthful. mmmm! -- posted by robd16

Cranberry Cake

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:26:13 -0500

Clients of the company I work for give us fresh cranberries every year at Thanksgiving. this year, I decided to actually DO something with them. I made this cranberry cake several times in one week because we just can't get enough of it. It's sweet with a golden crumb, soft and moist, and dense without being heavy, with juicy explosions of tart cranberries. This is also really easy; it comes together in about 10 minutes. Sometimes, I will cover it in whipped cream, but lately I have been baking it instead with a topping of pecans caramelized in butter and brown sugar. Recipe makes 1 9x13 or 1 10" springform cake -- posted by Jaelini

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

Holiday Nut Roll (Americanized Croatian Nut Roll)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:16:56 -0500

While similar to other nut roll recipes, this filling is unique because it uses no egg whites or lemon and includes a delicious "Americanization" of the Slavic recipe by adding--whiskey! It adds a fantastic additional flavor; feel free to split the filling before adding whiskey if you'd like to reserve some spirit-free for the kids (though it cooks off and I've never met a kid who didn't like this). Makes a big batch--perfect for giving away. Freezes very well. My sister and I will make double this batch all at once and freeze them until we're ready to give/send them out. -- posted by Tlharin

An elegant summer salad dish that is wonderful served on the side of poached cold chicken. Pimms has become a traditional English alcoholic summer beverage, its a bit like sherry or vermouth and is best served in tall glasses with soda water, lemon, strawberry and cucumber slices.

There aren't many fruits that I prefer cooked, but this is one of them and its great spread on buttered toast. If you don't like cinnamon then by all means leave it out but it does complement the plum flavour without taking over. Jam making is easy and fun so have a go. . . -- posted by robd16

Barbara's Best Fruit Cake

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:21:24 -0500

This recipe was given to me by my aunt Sibyl in Ozona, Texas. It has been in our family for many years. It is rather unique; as strange as it may sound, there is no flour in this recipe. This is a wonderful fruitcake; try it, you'll like it. It freezes very well. -- posted by Chef #1416334

Barbara's Fruit Roll

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:21:45 -0500

A dear friend brought this delicious sliced fruit roll when I was very ill as a teenager. That was many years ago. I loved it so much and she graciously gave me the recipe. I have made it almost every Christmas since then. It is a bit easier to make today. Thanks to the "boxed crushed graham crackers" I no longer had to crush the graham crackers between layers of waxed paper with a rolling pin. It keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks. It is also very nice for a New Years Celebration. Enjoy!!! -- posted by Chef #1416334

Cranberry Ranch Dressing

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:53:16 -0500

Last year my friend discovered a dressing by this name at our local discount store. I missed out on getting some. This recipe is my attempt to recreate this dressing. This dressing is lovely with cauliflowerets. The color really shows up and the taste is complimentary. It would also be a Christmasy contrast with broccoli florets. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

This fresh salsa is great served with dips and chips and is well worth the effort of all that chopping. It is also fat free, very good for you and really tasty! -- posted by robd16

Fat Free Banana Bread (Vegan)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:06:31 -0500

Found this recipe on VegFamily. This banana bread is so moist. Be very careful to not over mix....over mixing will result in a dry bread. -- posted by Chef #1442777

Chinese Pineapple Chicken With Cashew Nuts, Ginger, Spring Onion

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:10:58 -0500

This is sure to satisfy all your cravings for Chinese food, it's a great recipe. Be brave with the ginger, it mellows out as it cooks and is helped along by the sweetness of the dish. The cashew nuts are optional but I am yet to make it without them as I love their crunchy texture and creamy taste. Be sure to serve it with plenty of white fluffy rice. Quicker than waiting for takeout. -- posted by robd16

Hungarian Shortbread

This sounds delicious! I found this recipe while looking for recipes that used cranberries tonight. I found this @ http://www.cranberries.org from the Massachusetts Cranberry Harvest Festival Recipes 1998, Second Place Leslie A. Killian. I haven't made this yet, but I'm keeping it here for everyone to enjoy! I did include the freezing time as part of the cook time. -- posted by SassiFras
