Pumpkin, Walnut, and Zucchini Pasta

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:08:47 -0500

Great holiday pasta! Works with any fuller pasta, including stuffed sorts such as ravioli. I use whole-wheat because I'll use any excuse to do the healthy option when the sauce is flavourful enough to hide the difference. But of course, there's always the regular pasta for the pickier eaters! I did it with a sausage tortellini once and it was fantastic! You can also add some prosciutto or sweet italian sausage bits! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Avocado Dressing or Marinade

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:25:42 -0500

fantastic for summer. very ozie xmas i think. You can make this as thick as you like. It would be great with cut up vegetables as a snack or to pour over salad. prawns not included in ingredients. not sure how many you would need. If using prawns mix prawns with marinade and bbq 5 mins each side. -- posted by Sonya01

Kale Salad With Avocado for Two

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:02:44 -0500

This refreshing, healthy salad was presented in an uncooking class by the Present Moment Cafe in St. Augustine FL. I love the salad as is, but this version I have added my own inclusion of fresh tomatoes. This sounds strange to do, but believe it is simple and delicious when complete. -- posted by Sherri at the Beach

Cauliflower Steaks With Cauliflower Purée

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:40 -0500

Originally found on Epicurious, great easy recipe. Few ingredients, big payoff: Large "steaks" are cut from a head of cauliflower, sautéed until golden, then baked until tender. They're served over a simple puree made from the cauliflower florets. An impressive first course, this can also be a lovely side. Just sear two mahi-mahi fillets in butter and place them alongside the cauliflower. -- posted by jwith12

Meyer Lemonade (Sugar Free)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:14:30 -0500

I came up with this after buying some meyer (sweet) lemons. It is basically water with a combination of meyer lemon juice and regular (sour) lemon juice. Sometimes I add a little Truvia. You don't need a sweetener but can add your sweetener of choice if you like. The amounts are very inexact and depend on your taste. I generally use the juice of one meyer lemon with a smaller amount of the sour lemon juice. I am giving the directions for one serving. -- posted by coconutty

Super Thin Pizza Dough

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:59:51 -0500

I experimented with a great recipe for dough, #70165, I use both now because sometimes I want my pizza "super" thin and other times just thin. Special note, I learned that when dealing with yeast it is important to have everything at room temperature, or slightly warm. This includes all ingredients, utensils, and bowls. I also use a great pizza sauce recipe, #114392. (It calls for tomato paste but I sometimes use just all tomato sauce. I like my pizza saucy!) -- posted by Terri Crooks

Spinach Mushroom and Artichoke Soup- Fast and Figure Friendly

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:41:20 -0500

This is something I whipped up last night in my attempt to eat healthier! This makes a soup that very thick with vegetables and leaves you feeling full and satisfied. If you want a soup that is thinner just add more broth. This would be a great soup for a brunch or dinner party as it can be completed and left to simmer until you are ready to serve. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Fresh Cranberry Pecan Salad

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:08:06 -0500

This salad is my daughter and mother's favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I used to make it every year for the teachers at my children's school--they RAVED over it. After Thanksgiving, I like to have it as a snack over plain yogurt. It is absolutely to die for! -- posted by Chef #738454

Big Batch Holiday Cranberry Sauce

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:23:49 -0500

We make this every year before Thanksgiving and put it in the freezer in three or four containers so we have some to take to every holiday meal. You can adjust the sugar to taste, and I often don't add as much as is called for, and sometimes even leave the jello out completely, especially if I'm making a half batch that I'm not going to freeze. Cook time is chilling time. Not sure about the yield, but I guess it's about 24 cups. -- posted by Chrisbee

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

I tried this dish at a friend's summer BBQ and the flavor was so addictive that I craved it months later. I finally got the recipe and was surprised I couldn't find it anywhere online. It must be an original. So yummy and and easy to make, I plan to bring this dish to share for many future occasions. I just hope my friend doesn't mind. Also - it makes a LOT of pasta. I was surprised by the large bowl size needed. -- posted by jas4577

Hobo Potatoes

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:00:06 -0500

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. This has a bit of a potato au gratin texture, but without the cheese. The edges are a little chewy. I love how easy this is to make and how filling it comes out. It is very good comfort food. The measurements are rough as I eyeball it. Adjust to your preference. -- posted by arualanne

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

Green Pork Chili

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:23:49 -0500

A colleague of mine brought this in years ago for a soup potluck lunch and I fell in love with it. I love big batches of soup to freeze (especially when I was single and just wanted to come home to a good dinner...) and this one is perfect. I've also added beans, potatoes, carrots, celery and whatever else looked like it needed to be used up. Nowadays I don't usually add the jalapenos (daughter doesn't like heat...so sad....)...but love having this to warm things up. You can make it soup-like or more stew like depending upon your preference by adding more broth. -- posted by DeeCooks

Chile Cornbread Stuffing

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:01:55 -0500

This cornbread stuffing is loaded with vegetables and Mexican flare that make this stuffing taste like it took hours to prepare. The truth is something far simpler. Toasting the hominy, corn and chiles before mixing the stuffing gives them a meaty, robust texture and a concentrated flavor that transforms plain stuffing into a nutritious and delicious whole-grain side dish.

Easy Hummus

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:14:54 -0500

Hummus is a popular dip usually eaten with pita bread at Middle Eastern restaurants. This version is is easy to make for anyone with a food processor. All of the ingredients are commonly available. It is every bit as good as hummus made with tahini. Consider this the convenience food version of hummus. You may be aghast at the use of bottled lemon juice and jarred garlic, but it really does work as well as fresh for this recipe. This hummus makes a good sandwich filling: Fill a pita pocket or a warmed flour tortilla with a few tablespoons of hummus. Add sliced tomato, lettuce, red onion, and perhaps a few pickled banana pepper rings. It's very satisfying. -- posted by RudyH

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

i made this from leftover roast chicken and leftover leek and potatoe soup (vegan), so my measurements are an estimate really, but use your initiative if it needs more water add more etc etc. intermediate cooks will get the idea, also you can add a dash of wine or lemon juice would be nice in this.

Cranberry Orange Holiday Relish

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:11:17 -0500

There are many versions of this basic recipe. This little riff adds a little extra color and crunch to an already delightful side dish that is rich in both flavor and fiber. Add different fruits, and it becomes yet another kind of salad, beautiful in its ruby-redness, especially on a bed of greens. Note: the toasted pecans are nice added the day before serving, but as time goes on, they become less crunchy - but still add a great flavor. This relish can be held in the refrig for a week or so, and can be frozen as well. -- posted by MaryRich

This luxury jam has a Christmassy feel to it but not so much so that you couldn't enjoy it year round. 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
