" Big Mac" Meatloaf

Fri, 05 Sep 2003 20:02:44 -0400

I worked in a group home with 7 elderly ladies who like meatloaf. On this day I didn't have eggs so I kinda just threw in some stuff and this is what we dubbed it. My little ladies just loved it. The joke always was don't let me get bored in the kitchen. -- posted by BobbiDoll Kress

African Spiced Vegetable Salad

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 20:05:16 -0400

Very good and a nice change. I am not a big fan of cauliflower so I use a bag of fresh stir fry vegetables instead. The presentation is very colorful. I adapted this recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbok. 1 point per 1 cup serving. -- posted by Amber of AZ

Got this fab recipe from a friend. Nice tasting cake without the icing. Be warned the icing is very lemony - a must for lemon lovers. -- posted by Ivana*

Awesome and Easy Non Dairy Ice Cream

Tue, 30 Sep 2003 20:56:32 -0400

This is a tremendously versatile recipe- add fresh chopped strawberries, flavored liquer, cocoa, coffee, the possibilities are endless! I like to serve this only partially frozen, it has a very creamy taste and texture at that stage. Enjoy! -- posted by Miraklegirl

Spicy Chicken With Couscous

Wed, 01 Oct 2003 20:00:09 -0400

This is a deliciously spicy low fat chicken dish. You control the spiciness with strength of the curry powder you add. You can even leave out the chicken to use it as a side dish. -- posted by Rogue Red

Namurrah or Cream of Wheat Cake

Thu, 02 Oct 2003 20:01:14 -0400

This is the easiest cake imaginable! Try it if you're looking for a low-fat cake or if (like me) you're wondering when the Cream of Wheat will ever get used up. The texture is like a muffin merged with pudding. It's different than most cakes but well worth trying. I thought of Najwa's Basbousa #12957 when I saw this in the Arab section of RecipeLand. Both are similar but this version has a thicker syrup and calls for Cream of Wheat and yogurt rather than semolina and buttermilk. The almonds on top are a nice touch. I like both recipes and personally think its best to bake them a day ahead so the syrup can thoroughly permeate the cake. It's great with coffee or tea--if you're concerned about fat in your diet, try this and you might not miss those high fat coffee cakes! -- posted by TommyGato

Chicken and Dumplings

Thu, 09 Oct 2003 20:00:11 -0400

My mom made a similar recipe for this comforting dish, and I still remember the wonderful aroma of it cooking throughout the house. She didn't make it often, but when she did, what a treat. I especially loved the light, tender dumplings, which is still my most favorite part of this dish. (In a pinch, Bisquick dumplings are also very good). For those of you, like my good friend Cindy, who like a more Southern style of dumpling (heavier, chewier), the recipe is at the bottom. This recipe is from Steph's Country Kitchen Goodness. This is my favorite website for recipes. -- posted by Dawn Vezina

Curried Peanut Soup

Thu, 09 Oct 2003 20:00:27 -0400

The Last Meatloaf

Thu, 16 Oct 2003 20:00:28 -0400

"How do I love Thee? Let Me count the ways." Hot, fresh from the oven, in sandwiches both hot and cold, fried or would that be refried? Crumbled for Pasta sauce, Omelets, Enchiladas, Tacos, Quesedillas. The other ingredient for Rice, Pasta, Potato, or what have you casseroles. There isn't enough room here to list them all. There are few things to compare with a good, basic, simple Meatloaf. That's why this recipe is so large. -- posted by Pierre Dance

Hoe Cakes

Fri, 31 Oct 2003 20:00:24 -0500

Farm hands would take the 'makings' into the fields. at lunch time they would knock the handle out of their hoe and use the blade for a griddle. While it was heating they mixed the batter. The result was simple corn flat bread. We've spiffied it up a bit and serve it topped with Real Maple Syrup and Eggs over medium on the side. After these, plain Pancakes sort of loose their appeal. -- posted by Pierre Dance

Coleslaw

Sat, 01 Nov 2003 20:00:15 -0500

I have always liked a tart, rather than creamy slaw and couldn't find a good recipe, so I whipped up this one. Prep time does not include setting time for slaw. This is great with barbecue! -- posted by Toby Jermain

Louisiana Dirty Rice

Sat, 01 Nov 2003 20:01:27 -0500

My favorite dirty rice recipe straight from "A COOKS TOUR of SHREVEPORT" cookbook.Some of the ingredients are optional and if you prefer you can use white long grain rice in place of the brown,I prefer the brown,though I would not recommend using fragrant rice.This recipe is extremely versatile and can be used as main dish,along with salad and garlic bread,or as a side,or stuffing mixture.I like to season mine up with some additional creole seasoning such as zatarin's but would suggest tasting in between seasoning.ENJOY! -- posted by @ngdarlen

Autumn Chicken Stew

Mon, 03 Nov 2003 20:02:05 -0500

I adapted this recipe from one that appeared in BBC Good Food magazine and loved the rich, earthy flavours it produced. The original inspiration for this dish apparently comes from Tunisia and it certainly reminded me of some African stews I have had. The changes I made were to use butternut squash instead of pumpkin, fresh ginger instead of ground and two cans of tomatoes instead of one. I also used my chili olive oil, which is stored in a jar with hot chillis to give it some bite, but if you don't have any spicy oils to use, you could add in a bit of chili powder, cayenne pepper or some harissa. This is a very adaptable recipe so have fun playing with it. -- posted by Sackville

Black-Eyed Peas and Sweet Potato Stew

Fri, 14 Nov 2003 20:00:30 -0500

Just a recipe I made up one cold day when I wanted a hearty, homemade stew (comfort food!) It was really good, so I shared it with a few friends. One friend called it: "Keisha's Mom's Black-Eyed Peas and Sweet Potato Stew" - adding my daughter's name. Sounds impressive! (This friend has made it more often than I have!) I like it because of the interesting taste and texture of the whole, fresh ingredients...it's great to have in the fall. -- posted by Suzanne Kohler

I got this recipe from somewhere a long time ago. A nice alternative to the ever popular Pumpkin Pie! You can either "zap" the sweet potatoes in the microwave or bake them in a 400 degree oven for at least an hour until very soft. Or even easier buy a can of sweet potatoes or yams. Prep time doesn't include the cooking of the sweet potatoes. -- posted by Pooh Bear

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 19:59:40 -0500

Stock your pantry ahead of time to whip up this delicious satisfying soup. It comes together quickly for a nice meal. I got the recipe from Southern Living Magazine (Carol Michael Hewett, Texas). I made a few changes by adding celery, and adding 3 more cups of broth (because we don't like soup that thick). The original recipe called for 5 cups of water. I used part water and part chicken broth. -- posted by luvmybge

Midwest Living's Bouja / Burgoo

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 20:00:52 -0500

Bouja is traditionally an upper Midwest (Minnesota) stew, while Burgoo is a specialty of the lower Midwest (Kentucky). In either case, it's what I would call a 'stew of opportunity', meaning that whatever you have on hand is what goes into the pot. In the past, squirrels were a main ingredient of the Burgoo. Anyway, I found this delicious combination recipe in Midwest Living and it made my house smell yummy, you can add squirrel if you like! -- posted by Hey Jude

Weekday Black Beans and Rice

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 20:00:28 -0500

My family loves this recipe and it's so easy to throw together after work. It's pretty spicy, how spicy depends on the andouille sausage that you use, mine was quite hot and so the resulting dish was spicy hot, but good. I reduced the amount of red pepper flakes to appease my family's preference. This will make your house smell as if you've been cooking, rather than out working, all day!

You can adjust the heat in this recipe by the type of pepper you use. I used serrano peppers and thought it was just right, but I like food pretty spicy so if that's not for you, use a milder pepper, such as jalapeno.

Dave's Barbecue Sauce

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:40:46 -0400

This is a wonderful barbecue sauce! Get all of your ingredients measured out and ready for you. That way, it only takes a couple of minutes to make your recipe. This is a great sauce for any kind of meat or even fish. It's great on everything. I use this for my barbecued beans, delish! The amount is approximate. Hoisin sauce should be in the Oriental section of your supermarket. It's kind of like ketchep in Asian cooking. Chili sauce should be near the ketchup. It isn't "hot" even though it says "chili" sauce. Heinz is the best, but any will do. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Grilled Swiss Cheese and Chicken Sandwiches

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:07:33 -0400

These are great for a quick lunch or a soup and sandwich night. Kids love these as well as the grown ups. Sourdough is another fantastic choice of bread to grill these on. You can interchange any type of cheese. Please use the best ketchup you can find, I use Heinz, as it will make all of the difference. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Pina Colada Freeze (No Alcohol)

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:40:03 -0400

This is so refreshing! If you love coconut, you'll love this! I usually freeze the rest of the pineapple. I measure out the tablespoons, then put them on a waxed papered cookie sheet and flash freeze them; when they're frozen, I put then in a plastic freezer bag, so that when I want one(Or more lol) the pineapple is easy to get to. This calls for Torani Sugar Free Coconut Syrup. I don't know if you can find this, it may be the same thing but be a different brand. It's worth looking for. They have some at Sam's club, I buy mine in a restaurant supply store.They make syrups flavors in just about anything you want. Some are sugar free, some are not. Note:I have no idea how much sweetener is in the little packets, so for the computer's sake so I'll take a stab and say 1/4 tsp. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

African Red Beans & Couscous

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:44:53 -0400

If you've always thought beans were boring, try this super recipe flavored with almonds. The beans are served over couscous, a grain popular in Northern Africa. I thought this was okay the first day, but the next day, I couldn't keep away from it! The first time I made it, I didn't make the couscous. You can make this in a crockpot too. Just check the water occasionally.
