Baked Stuffed Mediterranean Potatoes

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:21:21 -0500

Simple stuffed potatoes. I love these served on the side but after you put all the fillings in, the whole potato was always too much for me, so I make mine if halves. I cook my potatoes in the microwave, use frozen spinach and few other ingredients and just finish in the oven to crisp up. Serve with a creamy yogurt, scallion and lemon topping and you have an amazing side dish. My favorite is to serve this with grilled lamb chops, but the possibilities are endless. I also make baked chicken thighs (bone in, skin on) marinated over night in lemon, olive oil, red pepper, garlic (lots) and oregano. It is a great easy marinade and goes perfect with these potatoes. -- posted by SarasotaCook

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

Light, fizzy, and tastes like candy! Recipe can be made in larger quantities but enough is shown here for 2 drinks.

Green Jasmine Rice

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:35:54 -0500

I got the recipe from Canadian Living and it is a really nice rice with a subtle flavour. If you want more flavour you could add green salsa or hot peppers. The rice is meant to be served as a side to those dishes you don't want to have overpowered by the side. Quck and simple. -- posted by Deantini

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

Even though I'm a born-and-raised Arizonan, both of my grandparents are from southern Louisiana. As a result, I grew up eating a lot of good, homecooked Cajun food!! This isn't a family recipe, but it rivals any I've had. (It's a combination of several recipes I found online.) I find myself craving it once every couple of weeks...luckily my boyfriend loves it too! :-) This can be made with 2 pounds of chicken, or 1 lb chicken + 1 lb smoked sausage. The chicken / shrimp is our favorite way to make it, and the chicken / smoked sausage is a close second. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

The zucchini adds a little something without being the major flavor. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Note: You can substitute the applesauce with oil, I just prefer to use applesauce. Also, the cups will be quite full when you fill them, but I haven't had any trouble with them spilling over. -- posted by rbrynsaas

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

Big Batch Holiday Cranberry Sauce

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

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
