Sunday's Best Rice Pudding (Traditional Style)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:16:07 -0500

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious whether served warm or cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal. -- posted by Rachael Potter

We are our mothers! This recipe has been passed down for so many generations that I don't know where it began!

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

Warming Celery & Carrot Soup

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:15:43 -0500

A smooth and creamy soup with just a little "bite" for those colder days. Cooked in a microwave with not too much labour input beyond preparation of the veg. The basic recipe was a favourite from our old Sanyo microwave cookbook from more than twenty years ago. Note: For more or less "bite", add or take away one tablespoon of the Love Apple Sauce as you desire. If Love Apple sauce is not available a substitute can be made by combining 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup with 1 tsp Jerk Sauce. -- posted by Schemin Demon

Chicken Stew (Mancunian and Economical)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:27:02 -0500

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. The old lady (lillian) who we used to look after used to add a tin of campbells condensed chicken soup to her stew, you would do this, one day ill out on her roast chicken casserole and roast pheasent. -- posted by pornstarbarbie

Buffalo Chicken Won Tons

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:29:00 -0500

This is a slightly different version of the Buffalo Chicken Won Tons already posted here. I checked out the others and they weren't really what I was looking for, so I came up with this by mixing Buffalo Chicken Dip with my love of using won ton wrappers for a variety of fun finger foods. You may sub ranch dressing for the bleu if you prefer. This is super easy to make and when I served it at a get together last night, I got rave reviews. The chicken breast portion is an estimate. I used one large chicken breast half, poached in seasoned water and chopped. You may use more or less, depending on your preference. -- posted by MarlaM

The greatest way to make chili with deer meat. You can adjust this recipe to suit your preferences, but the key is using the pork sausage to give you the fatty flavor that you miss with the lean deer meat. I don't add beans, but some people (like my dad) add red kidney beans as well. -- posted by TCSmoooth

Molten Dark Chocolate Cakes

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:10:25 -0500

From All For You magazine - Sept 2009 The beauty of the ckaes is that their centers stay much softer than the outer layer. To avoid losing their molten interiors, be sure to not overbake them. If that happens, you can still eat them, but the centers will be firm instead of soft. If you are neverous about inverting the cakes, don't do it. You can serve them in their ramekins. - You can prepare the cakes up to a day in advance. Make the batter, spoon it into ramekins, cover each with foil and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve, remove foil and bake cakes for 14 minutes. - Add fruit. You can serve with fresh strawberries, raspberries, cherries or a combo. A simple fruit sauce can be serve (blending a handful of berries agalong with a couple of tablespoons sugar and teaspoon of lemon juice in a blender / food processor, then straining the liquid through a sieve before using. - Serve with whipped cream. Spruce up the whipped cream with few teaspoons of honey or dash amaretto, creme de methe or another favourite liqueur. -- posted by Engelis

Spanish Potato Tortilla

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:17:12 -0500

Another classic, best served warm or cold at room temperature but never hot. It goes great with summer salads but often I just eat it on its own, picking at it throughout the day. In Spain it is sacrilege to grill the top, you're supposed to flip it over and cook it all over the heat of the hob. I think this causes too many problems and I can't tell much difference in taste anyway. Better to have it neatly turned out onto a plate than try and put the pieces back together I reckon! The olive oil is essential here and really adds something special I think. Don't think of this as an omelette (potato omelette, how boring!) This is a potato dish, and now you shall enjoy :) -- posted by robd16

Braised with meatballs, onions and red wine, this hearty dish is perfect served with mash potato but I also serve it with white rice if the mood takes me as it often does (it's something about the sweet red wine flavour chestnuts and the rice that I love) This is a real winter warmer y'all and perfect after having been out in the cold.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:03:48 -0500

This recipe is VERY autumnal, and also a little bit quirky. I was a little bit worried about the flavor profile (squash? curry? apples?), but it all comes together beautifully. I made changes from the original Better Homes and Gardens recipe, which you might want to consider doing as well. I used two 16-ounce packages of already diced butternut squash--much easier! I also added more chicken broth (probably close to a whole 32-ounce carton), more cider, and added garlic and red pepper flakes. -- posted by juniperwoman

Cheesy Chicken Ranch Sandwiches

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:56:55 -0500

Each sandwich is filled with an entire chicken breast. No one will leave the table hungry! The recipes directs you to broil the sanwiches. But I prefer to bake them the way the Barefoot Contessa does, so I have included her directions. Baking them makes the breasts so very moist and luscious! However broiling does take less time -- 10 to 12 minutes total. Either way, you will enjoy these sandwiches. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Another Yummy Veggie Loaf

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:22:51 -0500

My non-vegetarian husband is always raving about how much he loves Textured Vegetable Protein, so I wanted to develop a faux meatloaf using TVP. I heavily modified a recipe found here: http://fatfreevegan.com/Meat_subs/loaf.shtml to try to make it closer to my Mom's famous meatloaf. -- posted by Prose

No-Sugar Added Spicy Cranberry Sauce

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:24:44 -0500

I love cranberry sauce and am always looking for good recipes without all that sugar that alters your blood sugar. I came across a recipe in the Nov. 2009 issue of bon appetit and altered it to fit my needs. It turned out so good that I am deciding to share it with all of you and hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I know it sounds different but it is amazing...just give it a try! -- posted by Chef #987281

Compliment Jar--Kid's Style

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:27:09 -0500

From spatulatta.com Everyone needs to be told how well they're doing or how wonderful they are. Moms are no different. Sometimes mom might need a compliment when she's feeling blue or just has too much work to get done. Here's a gift that will keep on giving all year long. You can help perk mom up by making this compliment jar. Fill it with 20 compliments that she can have whenever she needs one. http://www.spatulatta.com/recipes/6-mothers-day-2008/27-compliment-jar Because RZ would not recognize QUART JAR WITH LID or SCISSORS or 1 PHOTO OF YOURSELF, I am putting it here. ASK PERMISSION BEFORE CUTTING UP THE PHOTO. -- posted by WiGal

Coquilles St. Jacques

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:28:00 -0500

With a reputation for being uber-rich and creamy, it's almost too filling for being merely and appetizer. This version retains the creamy reputation, but by using fresh mushroom stock and only a splash of cream in the sauce, this is a touch lighter. Don't worry, it still packs lots of hearty mushroom flavor. -- posted by Claudia Wey

Sweet Crunchy Corn

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:32:52 -0500

This recipe almost tastes more like a dessert! But I use it frequently as a side dish. The recipe calls for 2-4 tablespoons of sugar. I generally use three, but if you love sugar so much, use four! -- posted by Chef #1458822

Beef and Potato Tacos

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:46:57 -0500

These tacos are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. We made these by the hundreds for large dinners when I was in grade school. I can assure you that these are no ordinary taco. These are FRIED beef and potato tacos. After they're cooked, you have to throw on some cheddar cheese and let it melt into the taco meat. Very cheesilicious. Just in case you're wondering, they're fattening -- and oh-so-good! -- posted by Cooking Ventures

Cinnamon Rolls from Heaven

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:49:23 -0500

Yes, this recipe was sent straight from heaven. They do take some time, but it is well worth it! I usually make one pan with walnuts and one without. This recipe makes a glaze instead of frosting. I didn't think I would like a cinnamon roll without the cream cheese frosting...but this is ten times better! -- posted by Chef #1458822
