Creamsicle Punch

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:22:46 -0500

Light, fizzy, and tastes like candy! Recipe can be made in larger quantities but enough is shown here for 2 drinks. If making in a punch bowl, make an ice block ahead of time by freezing water in a cake pan. If you can, squeeze your own orange juice and strain it right before adding it to the drink. -- posted by Public Foodie #1

Cauliflower and Bean Salad With a Basil Dressing

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:53:08 -0500

This is a great side salad with tons of flavor and fresh ingredients. Easy to put together and serve with any main dish. Serve with some grilled steak or a pork tenderloin or even chicken for a great dish. A nice starter to a holiday or dinner party rather than your "typical" green salad. Really a nice dish. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Roasted Vegetable Stock

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:04:12 -0500

A flavorful stock to use for soup, sauce, or gravy or any recipe calling for vegetable stock. This is a good way to use up bits of leftover vegetables too. You can use recipe #235039 #235039, or potato water saved from boiling potatoes, instead of the water in this recipe. Other stock or broth recipes are recipe #217620 #217620, recipe #135453 #135453, and recipe #214220 #214220 with meat options. Combine any or all parts of these recipes for your own broth creation if you like. -- posted by foodtvfan

Rancheros Salsa!

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:13:26 -0500

This salsa, often used for Huevos Rancheros, can be used over chili rellenos, rice, meats, etc. It freezes exceptionally well. Consider making a double batch and storing half for later. Adapted from The Everything Vegetarian Cookbook by Jay Weinstein, a food commentator for a public radio station in New York city. -- posted by Sharon123

Minestra

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:31:59 -0500

This is a very conforting soup my Mum use to make a lot. Unortunately, I don't have her recipe but recently found this one in our local paper, courtesy of Ike DeLorenzo. He suggests using the best sausage you can find for this dish. His choice, cacciatorini, a dry, aged, spicy salami or pork and beef, or salsiccia Napoletana piccante, an excellent dry sausage from Naples. The use of the Parmedan rind flavors the whole soup. -- posted by dojemi

Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli & Chicken Casserole

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:02:04 -0500

This is down home comfort food at it's finest. It was the only way my grams or mom could get me to eat my broccoli while growing up. These days I use brown rice for a lower carb, healthier version. Sometimes I also use chicken thigh instead of breast because it's so much more tender. I hope you love it was much as I do. -- posted by Bitter Moon

Spicy Maple Hot Sauce

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:05:46 -0500

Very Spicy Pepper Sauce with a little bit of Sweetness. Sauce may not taste very spicy when it first comes off the stove, it gets more spicy with time. Let it sit a few days before using to allow flavours to blend efficiently, But CAN be used right away. -- posted by Chef #565305

Gorgeous Mashed Swede (Rutabaga)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:22:17 -0500

Forget mashed potatoes! I was never a huge fan of swede, I usually find it quite bland if not rotten tasting, unless perhaps if mashed with carrots. I'm glad I've found a way to love this cheap and wholesome vegetable, great texture, great flavour and good enough to eat on its own. A can of stewed steak in gravy turns this into a cheap and nutritious simple meal for 2. -- posted by robd16

Roxy's Sauce Piquante

This is my mom's sauce piquante recipe (pronounced: pe-caw)...she hates being called Roxy though, so the title is a special little joke, just for her (love you mom :-) ). I used to HATE this as a kid (something about cooked bell peppers grossed me out), but my "adult tastebuds" love it! I've been meaning to make it at home, but I keep forgetting to bring the recipe home. Now it shall forever be immortalized in Recipezaar so I can access it from anywhere. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

These crostini are an appetising mix of tender thin slices of finest Scotch beef and rich beetroot and orange chutney. They make quite a substantial delicious pre dinner canapé or as a starter with a salad garnish. They are easy to make and all the ingredients can be store cupboard or freezer, so youll never be caught out again if unexpected guests turn up or people are hungrier than expected! -- posted by LP3000

Mango Milk Crush

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:21:46 -0500

A really refreshing and different way to eat mango. I was served this drink on the beach in Rio one time and turned my nose up at it (I'd asked for mango juice and don't really like milk drinks) but I was pleasantly surprised to find how well the sweet creamy milk went down with the loose crushed slippery mango. Don't think of this as a drink though do serve it in a glass. This is more like eating peaches and cream. Fantastic. -- posted by robd16

My husband and I were lifting the lid about every 15 minutes to taste the broth because it tasted so delicious to us. I slapped this recipe together yesterday for the first time and we will definitely be making this again and again. This experiment came out way better than expected. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I love soup loaded with vegetables in a flavorful tomato based broth. I was looking to use up two thawed uncooked hamburger patties along with a bunch of fresh veggies I had in my fridge. -- posted by Jenniegal

Pumpkin, Walnut, and Zucchini Pasta

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:08:47 -0500

Great holiday pasta! Works with any fuller pasta, including stuffed sorts such as ravioli. I use whole-wheat because I'll use any excuse to do the healthy option when the sauce is flavourful enough to hide the difference. But of course, there's always the regular pasta for the pickier eaters! I did it with a sausage tortellini once and it was fantastic! You can also add some prosciutto or sweet italian sausage bits! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Cauliflower Steaks With Cauliflower Purée

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:40 -0500

Originally found on Epicurious, great easy recipe. Few ingredients, big payoff: Large "steaks" are cut from a head of cauliflower, sautéed until golden, then baked until tender. They're served over a simple puree made from the cauliflower florets. An impressive first course, this can also be a lovely side. Just sear two mahi-mahi fillets in butter and place them alongside the cauliflower. -- posted by jwith12

Meyer Lemonade (Sugar Free)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:14:30 -0500

I came up with this after buying some meyer (sweet) lemons. It is basically water with a combination of meyer lemon juice and regular (sour) lemon juice. Sometimes I add a little Truvia. You don't need a sweetener but can add your sweetener of choice if you like. The amounts are very inexact and depend on your taste. I generally use the juice of one meyer lemon with a smaller amount of the sour lemon juice. I am giving the directions for one serving. -- posted by coconutty

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

Big Batch Holiday Cranberry Sauce

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:23:49 -0500

We make this every year before Thanksgiving and put it in the freezer in three or four containers so we have some to take to every holiday meal. You can adjust the sugar to taste, and I often don't add as much as is called for, and sometimes even leave the jello out completely, especially if I'm making a half batch that I'm not going to freeze. Cook time is chilling time. Not sure about the yield, but I guess it's about 24 cups. -- posted by Chrisbee

This is a highly modified version of Old Fashioned Ginger Cakes by Rachel-Snachel . It is interesting because it uses no milk or eggs, and is devoid of refined sugar. This recipe's flavours are equilibrated for Blackstrap molasses, if you use regular molasses you might have to reduce the spices.

A colleague of mine brought this in years ago for a soup potluck lunch and I fell in love with it. I love big batches of soup to freeze (especially when I was single and just wanted to come home to a good dinner...) and this one is perfect. I've also added beans, potatoes, carrots, celery and whatever else looked like it needed to be used up. Nowadays I don't usually add the jalapenos (daughter doesn't like heat...so sad....)...but love having this to warm things up. You can make it soup-like or more stew like depending upon your preference by adding more broth. -- posted by DeeCooks

Rice Cooker Chicken, Wild Rice and Veggies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:44:25 -0500

My boyfriend and I made this recipe from stuff we had around the house one night and it turned out great. Easy, flavorful and healthy to boot! I used a packet of Tyson "recipe ready" chicken breast pieces because I had it on hand, I'm sure any meat would work. -- posted by Chef #1404267

The tart flavor of this cranberry-colored glaze perfectly balances the sweetness from any winter squash. If acorn squash is not your favorite, try butternut. -- posted by Annacia

Chrissy's Angel Food Cake

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:11:17 -0500

My grandma's recipe. She was an excellent baker and she actually had a small business of selling these cakes. I have not made this yet because I don't have an angel food cake pan, but I ate it several times growing up, and it is absolutely wonderful, the fluffiest angel food I've ever had! Serve with whatever toppings you like, my favorite is fresh strawberries and whipped cream or vanilla ice cream! -- posted by The Wallaces

This is such a GOOD recipe! I will warn you that, by itself, it isn't a very pretty dish but the optional add-ins are what make it look REALLY appealing! -- posted by Kelly0412

Easy Hummus

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:14:54 -0500

Hummus is a popular dip usually eaten with pita bread at Middle Eastern restaurants. This version is is easy to make for anyone with a food processor. All of the ingredients are commonly available. It is every bit as good as hummus made with tahini. Consider this the convenience food version of hummus. You may be aghast at the use of bottled lemon juice and jarred garlic, but it really does work as well as fresh for this recipe. This hummus makes a good sandwich filling: Fill a pita pocket or a warmed flour tortilla with a few tablespoons of hummus. Add sliced tomato, lettuce, red onion, and perhaps a few pickled banana pepper rings. It's very satisfying. -- posted by RudyH
