Easy Boneless Pork Chop With an Amazing Flavour.

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:54:22 -0500

This is an easy recipe to make, you can prepare and store the coating/spread a week in advance and use as a marinade or coating for other meats through the week or thicken up with more butter and use to roast vegetables in. Fresh or Dried Sage and Rosemary can be used. I don't use a lot of garlic in this as I just like to taste a little hint, not a big kick. Preparation takes around 15 minutes and cooking will take around 60 minutes, leaving you time to help the kids get their homework finished, or have a cheeky glass of wine. Oh, This recipe is to serve 4 family members (1 pork loin each) -- posted by JinxTheCat

Blueberry Orange Pancakes

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:32:50 -0500

My family loved these pancakes. I came up with this recipe when trying to find a recipe to make blueberry pancakes using pancake mix. I wanted something quick & easy and this fit the bill. I also wanted to bump my protein up so I added powdered milk and protein powder to the mix. The pancake mix says to the 6-8 servings but I got lots of pancakes out of this mix. I'd like to try adding a bit more orange juice to give these more of a orange flavor. -- posted by internetnut

Skillet Chicken With Sauteed Mushrooms Marsala

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:03:50 -0500

This is not your same-old, same-old chicken dish. Take a simple wine-based pan sauce - layered in the flavors of sweet Marsala, hickory-smoked bacon, woodsy wild mushrooms, rich and creamy butter, a spritz of lemon juice to add a pleasing hint of acid - Spoon it over tender, moist chicken breasts and you have a dish that will liven up a routine mid-week meal or impress your favorite weekend dinner guests.

Italian Blue Crab Sauce

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:14:36 -0500

This is our Xmas Eve dinner every year. Also, my all time favorite pasta dish! This tradition started because Catholics did not eat meat on Christmas Eve and they sought out seafood based pasta dishes to serve instead. All ingredients are approximations since we never really measure anything. Alter to suit your family's tastes! THIS RECIPE SHOULD BE MADE ONE DAY AHEAD TO ALLOW THE CRAB FLAVORING TO PERMEATE THE MARINARA! -- posted by ChicagoRN

Florida Keys-Style Citrus Chicken

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:24:07 -0500

My family loves citrus with chicken and this recipe not only uses the juice and zest of oranges, but lemons and limes as well. Chicken breast halves are browned in olive oil and butter, simmered in a citrus juice flavored with honey, fresh thyme, garlic, and ground ginger, and then topped with orange segments and chopped chives. The taste and aroma of this Florida Keys inspired citrus chicken dish will explode in mouth-watering delight. This flavorful citrus sauce works equally well with fish or pork. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Light and easy, good for those cake cravings, as cake bases in trifles, or just a simple cake to serve for guests. In my picture - I had accidentally burnt the top, so I had cut it off and just coated the remainder in cream :) .... also, if you want your cake to be a bit sweeter - a teaspoon of vanilla essence when you're adding the sugar to the egg. -- posted by ByNDii

White Choc & Raspberry 'cheesecake' Finger Biscuits --- Mmmm

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:19:20 -0500

These are really great luxury biscuits. Simple to accomplish but just perfect for a night in, picnic, kids lunch boxes or to show off at the next coffee morning! ;P I usually make these in an 8x8 square tin and (when done) cut into 8 long strips, then half each strip - i.e. you should end up with 16: 1 inch wide x 4 inches long, fingers. If you cannot find any freeze dried raspberry pieces then you can use just the sauce for the biscuit, but use an extra teaspoon to get the flavouring. Enjoy! -- posted by JinxTheCat

Meatloaf (Ground Turkey)

Our family New Years resolution is to eat healthier foods. I made this wonderful, flavorful turkey meatloaf for dinner--I couldn't find a recipe that really sounded good so I built off my classic meatloaf recipe. My non-veggie eating husband (well, he does eat anything potato and anything corn) loved it and my four year gobbled hers down and asked for more! I really hope that you enjoy this meatloaf as much as we did! **It is a large recipe because I always make extra so that my husband has something for lunch the next day at work.** -- posted by KayVery

Easy Beef Stew Baked in a Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:58:11 -0500

This is in the oven right now and it smells so good, we can hardly wait for it to be done! No browning necessary. Company coming? Toss in another potato and carrot - this recipe is forgiving! Serve with Recipe #348286, hot and buttered. My youngest brother would find out I was making this stew and biscuits and he would invite himself over and eat me out of house and home. His favorite way to eat this stew was on top of buttered biscuits. I think with a salad and dessert this would serve about 6 but around here I would say it serves 4. ***UPDATE*** This recipe is for a cast iron dutch oven with a heavy tight-fitting lid. I've made this a million times and have had left-over gravy for noodles, rice, etc. Make sure you don't bake at any higher temperature than 300* and you don't use corningware or any other casserole. The heavy cast iron Dutch oven with a lid will prevent almost all of the evaporation of liquid, kind of like a slow cooker. -- posted by Secret Agent

Again, I use a lot of applesauce in place of butter or oil. Enjoy! -- posted by EntirelyEmily

Three-Ingredient Sticky Baked Chicken

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:32:42 -0500

From the Canadian Family Website: Sticky, sweet with a little savory soy sauce, this chicken is pure yummy. Destined to become a family favorite because kids love it and parents love the simplicity of this oven-to-table meal. I had a great result making this with bone in chicken leg thigh quarters. I had one piece that was skinless, and we discovered that using skinless does allow the flavor of the glaze to permeate the chicken better. This was a hit with my whole family - including my hard to please 3 year old. I used ketchup, reduced sodium soy, and lite maple syrup. Ingredients I happened to have on hand. This could NOT be easier. Adjust cooking times as needed for bone in cuts. Great with white rice and steamed broccoli. This recipe is so simple that you will probably have this assembled before your oven is preheated. -- posted by Linda Sue

I love banana bread! Unfortunately, it is always loaded in fat when you buy it or follow traditional recipes. There are tons of low fat recipe options out there but the always take out the walnut. Removing them will take away from those "scary numbers" we all watch; however, walnuts are such a rich source of nutrition that they are worth keeping. Side Note: Many people use "Splenda" as a sugar substitute, if you get an icky aftertaste try Stevia, like "Truvia". I personally prefer "Sun Crystal", a mix of natural sugar cane and stevia. Ultimately, it's your choice. -- posted by Southern Kitchen Gardener

Accidentally the Best Baked Chicken Nuggets Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:29:57 -0500

Accidentally discovered this while playing around with Chinese restaurant classics. My nugget-expert daughter loved them. I use the marinade from http://www.recipezaar.com/Sweet-and-Sour-Pork-43587 (minus the extra salt) and the flouring and baking technique from http://www.recipezaar.com/Baked-Lemon-Chicken-With-Chinese-Lemon-Sauce-194890. The chicken works great with either sauce but my picky kid just loved the chicken by itself. Infact she liked it so much I had to post the recipe. All measurements are approximate; vary the spices based upon your own taste. -- posted by Jes32

Banana, Spelt, Quinoa Muffins (Or Cake)

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:13:53 -0500

I wanted a healthy cake for my sons first birthday. I modified this recipe from one I found on the internet (not sure where I got it....). It was a huge hit and no-one could believe how healthy it was. Now we make the muffins every few weeks for breakfast - it's a family favorite. If you make it as a cake use a round cake pan and increase cooking time. I used honey and cream cheese for icing. Make sure you use quinoa FLAKES not the kind you cook. It can be found at health food stores and there's several brands. -- posted by Oliver's mommy

Red Kubbeh Soup

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:05:25 -0500

Kubbeh is a small pocket of dough that is stuffed with ground beef. Kubbeh for soup is usually boiled, whereas Kubbeh served on a platter is fried. Grocery stores in Israel and increasingly in the United States offer frozen packages of Kubbeh that are ready to drop into a vegetable soup. Enjoy this traditional recipe for kosher Kubbeh Soup, or Marak Kubbeh in Hebrew. I found MirJ has a great Kubbeh recipe, Recipe #26755 or you can use frozen store bought kubbeh. If you are counting calories add 260 calories per Kubbeh ball -- posted by Abba Gimel
