Apples and Ground Beef Pasta

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:14:53 -0500

Wasn't sure what to call this. This recipe first came to me from my sister-in-law who said she got it from Weight Watchers. She didn't have exact measurements for most items though so I've worked it into how we like it. It's a lovely dish for cold nights with lovely spicy sweet flavors to compliment the savory meat. -- posted by Cookworm

Mme Benoit's Tourtière

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 -0500

Tourtière is a French Canadian meat pie which is traditionally served at Christmas. It may be made from pork, beef or a combination of meats sometimes including veal. Different regions in Quebec have their own traditional recipes. Some regions use game such as hare or duck rather than beef and pork. The pies should not have too much filling as they are just a part of the whole traditional Christmas dinner. It's usually served with tomato ketchup. This recipe is the creation of Mme Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cooking expert who received the Order of Canada for her contributions to Canadian cuisine. I found this recipe on recipesource.com and on blogger.com where it was posted by Lizzy Ferland. It is originally from the Canadiana Cookbook. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

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.

Chicken and Veggetable Pasta

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:57:50 -0500

Simple and quick pasta that you can make with almost anything you have in the house (only a few of the ingredients are things you may not have). Doesn't use pasta sauce, olive oil and spices instead, and tons of veggies or just a few. (can be made for anyone who loves or hates veggies!) Many other vegetables are good options but I use these commonly (I would try artichoke hearts and other things if my boyfriend would eat them) -- posted by RealHalfTimeShow

Classic Skillet or Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:16:32 -0500

This is just good 'ol mac and cheese- rich, creamy and satisfying. Any cheese you like can be put in there, and any shaped noodle will work (though I think elbows, penne and rotini work best). Whole milk makes a richer mac and cheese, but didn't miss it here (and dh only will drink whole milk!). This will serve 8 adults a main course, more if there are kids or as a side. -- posted by newmama

Looking for a easy mexican dinner. look no further! My husband and I love this stuff since I work till after 10pm most nights. Smack it in the crockpot at night and my lunch is waiting for me when I wake up the next morning. I leave the seasoning open because everyone has a different taste for heat I don't do a lot of chili powder with the ancho chili's but I love cumin and the other seasoning. Another good suggestion is mixing green onions into the gorn muffin mix, I top with shedded smoked cheddar cheese and a little sour cream. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by Mrs Spencer

Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful. I tend to cut the recipe in half, and then use less olive oil and more cumin. Also I sometimes find the uncooked garlic a bit harsh; wilting it a bit in the bottom of the pan may be wise. -- posted by Michelle from Central Time

Now that I'm seeing shelled edamame (healthy blanched soybeans) frozen in bags at the store, this soup is easy and quick to make. I used jarred fresh ginger, because I was out of the regular ginger.

Cooking for one is often an adventure. Either you make the full recipe and eat the same dish for days, or you end up making sandwiches and eat them standing over the sink. :( Freezing leftovers would seem to be the obvious answer, but sometimes one needs an old-fashioned comfort food meal that doesn't need to be defrosted! This recipe serves 2, or serves 1 with planned-overs for the next day's lunch. -- posted by emmalee1942

Better than anything you can buy. This is my family's favorite. But you can really make it with whatever you have around the house. I use mango salsa for a little fruit taste but you can use any kind of salsa, tomatoes, even spaghetti sauce and it will still taste great. -- posted by Chef #553668

I used this for a pizza party I had recently, and it was a huge hit! It works best with white pizzas (using olive oil and herbs or pesto as a sauce). The crust is amazingly tasty, and quite flavorful. It also cooks up incredibly crispy on the outside, and tender and chewy on the inside. It's a perfect pizza dough. -- posted by Obsidian468

Carlene's Turkey Brine

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:31:46 -0500

I created this recipe 3 years ago when I decided to brine a turkey for the first time. I wasn't happy with any of the recipes I found online. Now I would never fix a turkey any other way. It infuses flavor throughout the bird. I make this brine the day before I need it so it has time to cool in the refrigerator. Brining time will depend on the size of your turkey or chicken. We usually do an 18 lb. bird & I brine it for 3 days. This is equally good for birds roasted in the oven or smoked on the grill. The number of servings and cooking time will depend on the size bird you are cooking. I just had to put something in here to post. -- posted by MamaCooks

Turnip-Squash Vegetarian Budget Casserole

I'm currently on a budget casserole roll here. Feel free to sub the cream of potato soup for any other cream soup (my other favorites are mushroom and celery), they're pretty packed with flavor. It's just that not as many use cream of potato like I do! I like Stovetop traditional sage stuffing mix and the turkey one, any kind of boxed stuffing will do. You can used canned french-fried onions like French's or Durkee but I prefer homemade, Recipe #44115 those are sooooo good. -- posted by the80srule

Super Thin Pizza Dough

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

Sarasota's Easy Leftover Turkey, Leek and Potato Tart

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

Ramen and Veggies
