Cheryl's Pork Fried Rice

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:02:48 -0500

I had a next-door neighbor who gave the original recipe to my mom. I modified it slightly by adding Ah-So sauce to the pork. It's delicious and fairly simple. I highly recommend preparing it a day in advance so that the hoisin sauce has enough time to mellow out. -- posted by Chrissy Sweettooth

Budget Rice-A-Roni Meatballs

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:14:23 -0500

This is a very simple and quick dinner I made up one night with what was in the fridge. It is even tastier the next day! Feel free to add or subtract other ingredients if you like. (I used hot pepper infused olive oil for a bit of bite.) -- posted by Teasaidh

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

Butternut Squash Soup Using Skim Milk & Tomato Soup

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:01:51 -0500

I didn't have a recipe and just threw together a few items I had on hand to to make this quick soup. I used leftover butternut squash from the night before and a can of tomato soup. Tasted pretty good, especially with a grilled cheese sandwich! I'll try to get the amounts right so it can be replicated. -- posted by Becca's Suwanee Kitchen

Sarasota's Easy Leftover Turkey, Leek and Potato Tart

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:55:39 -0500

A unique way to use up turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Add a couple of fresh ingredients and this goes together in no time. Now, if like many, who have steamed green beans for Thanksgiving, try reinventing them by a quick saute with shallots, mushrooms, and a little balsamic vinegar. Just 4-5 minutes and you have a great way to use up those beans and it makes a great side dish with this. And don't forget to use up that pumpkin pie in a parfait with honey whipped cream, walnuts and ginger snaps. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Flexible Risotto

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:40:50 -0500

This is my basic rice recipe. I like it because I can throw whatever's in the cupboard in or just make it with onion. You can add about a 1/4 cup of any kind of veggie you like to the onions when you sauté them to add flavor. Ive added mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers et cetera to the onions. It can be made with cheese or without. I like to use Parmesan but have used cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella in a pinch. I find its creamy even without any cheese. Careful not to over salt, youll ruin it. Using broth made from bouillon is way too salty for me personally. Enjoy! -- posted by ohNeiko

Hoppin' John

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:56:43 -0500

A variation on a recipe from the good folks at Goya. I make it with both of the suggested meats -- sausage AND bacon (Goya's calls for kielbasa, but I think smoked sausage or andouille works better). The two together are spectacular. I also add a jalapeño for a little extra flavor. Oh, and if you're on a low-sodium diet, there is a no-salt version of the -- posted by Cluich

10 in 10 Diet Cabbage Soup

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:57:46 -0500

This soup is vaguely a borscht, with a sweet & sour tang and a red-tinged broth. I've settled on tomato paste as cheap and the right tomato-iness for us. I used to freeze cubes of crushed tomatoes and use five or so in a batch of soup. One friend put garden-fresh tomatoes in. -- posted by 10in10Diet.com

I saw this on Good Chef Bad Chef recently. I haven't made it, but love grains and middle eastern style salads, so I'm guessing I'll like this. I'm saving it here until I hunt down the freekeh to make it with. Freekeh is whole wheat harvested green. -- posted by JustJanS

Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Scallions (Gourmet)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:37:21 -0500

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

Antipasto Salad from Gooseberry Patch

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:40:23 -0500

This is a flavorful make-ahead salad which can also double as antipasto if you serve it with toothpicks. Serve the salad with a slotted spoon. This is very easy to put together yet is a crowd-pleaser. Notice that you make this the day before to allow flavors to marry. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

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

Lunch Wraps for the Freezer

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:05:37 -0500

I originally got this recipe from Allrecipes.com, but have modified it over the years. These wraps are really tasty, but admittedly, are a bit dry and should be served with some sort of sauce on top (hot sauce, enchilada sauce, fresh salsa, or sour cream...etc.). These are cheap, filling, nutritious, and great to have hand in the freezer. I keep some in the freezer at work, and a bottle of Tapatio in my desk (or sometimes I even freeze individual-sized [appx 1/4 cup] homemade red chile sauce in snack-sized ziplocs). I usually use 2 tablespoons of my own taco seasoning mix, but specified one package below, for convenience. I often add additional veggies such as shredded carrots, diced bell pepper and onion, etc. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

This may be the most delicious pumpkin bread recipe I've ever baked. I came up with this for my brother's 18th birthday and it has been devoured in just two days. I believe the applesauce in the recipe is what makes it so ooey-gooey moist. It's also low in fat as the applesauce replaces the oil that would normally be used. The recipe makes two loaves, one of which can be frozen or given to a friend. -- posted by EntirelyEmily

Tom Yum Soup With Vegetables

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:14 -0500

Thai Tom Yum soup is a delicious and aromatic Thai soup. I crave this soup ALL of the time. I have brought this to parties and people always rave about it. Now friends always ask me to make it whenever we're getting together. I made it completely from scratch for years. A few years ago, I started using the paste and prefer it. I find it to be more flavorful. Tom Yum is distinctly known for it's hot and sour flavor. My version maintains the distinct hotness and sourness of the traditional soup but it also is slightly sweet and spicy. I make a side of jasmine rice and serve it with the soup. I noted the ingredients and amounts I use however, I encourage additions, deletions and alterations. I don't care for the mushrooms and I love broccoli which may come as a surprise to some. Broccoli is not a traditional component of this recipe but it's healthy and I find that it goes nicely with the broth. Play and have fun! -- posted by Proserpine79

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

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
