Gluten Free Chicken "noodle" Soup

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:22:52 -0500

It's a gray day here in Boulder and I decided some soup would be in order. Chicken Noodle Soup to be exact. So what's a gluten free grain free girl to do for noodles? Zucchini. Yes, DIY zucchini noodles. This recipe is super easy if you have chicken stock on hand. I keep several jars in the freezer and try to have one in the fridge ready to go as well. Just dice up some carrots, celery and other veggies of your choice and throw in those yummy zucchini noodles and you've got some good old fashioned, yet healthy modern chicken soup. http://www.elanaspantry.com/chicken-noodle-soup/ -- posted by Elana's Pantry

Rib Eye Roast

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:05:58 -0500

The way to prepare a tasty (and expensive) ribeye roast -- from my mom's aunt. Works for her and works for me on the rare treat that we buy a ribeye roast. The roasts I use are usually 4-6 lbs, but here's an instance where size doesn't matter. I love this recipe because I can prepare it with great ease and convenience, all the while making the best tasting roast ever. For a dinner party, I may start the roast at 2 pm, then with all my extra time put effort into other dishes -- like twice-baked potatoes, salad, and dessert. I have a double oven, so I can prepare my other sides without the forbidden opening of the oven door. If you went to the great expense to buy a ribeye roast, make your roast this way. No butter -- no flour -- no garlic -- no basting. Just follow the simple instructions. I think it's best at medium-rare -- that's pink in the middle but warm. You may use a meat thermometer if you like, but I've never needed to when following the instructions. -- posted by AngieME

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Showy but Simple Fruit Kabobs - Perfect for a Party

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:30:59 -0500

I was looking for a fruit "something" that would be finger food friendly for a shower this weekend. Wanted something a little showy for the buffet table, and was surprised that I couldn't find anything on zaar involving fruit and a skewer. :) Shock horror! I ended up on www.justjennrecipies.com and found this idea. It's nothing you couldn't figure out on your own, pretty basic, but it gave me an idea to work with. You could serve with one of the many fruit dip recipes here on the zaar - or as is, which is what I'm planning to do. I'll post some pics once it's done! -- posted by magpie diner

Sarasota's Foil Pouch Oven Roasted Asparagus

No clean up, 20 minutes, easy and healthy. Nothing more to say. This also will work with green beans, brussels sprouts, zucchini and summer squash, and mushrooms. I just change the seasoning a little (thyme with squash; rosemary with mushrooms and brussels sprouts) and otherwise, a great easy way to make a roasted flavor with no clean up. You may not get that dark caramelized color, but ... for a quick easy vegetable side dish, I love it. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Iced Coffee the Easy Way!

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:32:15 -0500

I see lots of recipes for iced coffee, and I have an easy way to make it! My hubby drinks a cup of coffee every morning, so as not to waste the rest of the pot, I began adding Splenda and Coffeemate powder to the hot leftover coffee. You can use the powdered creamer(I prefer Coffeemate)ay flavor, or the liquid kind. If you like the flavored ones, go ahead! Mine keeps about a week. Sometimes I might want a cup of coffee in the evening, so I just put some of the "leftovers" lol in a heat-proof cup and pop it into the microwave for a minute or two. Great either way! Mine keeps for about a week. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

I created these to serve alongside grilled chipotle chicken breasts and a salad. Wouldn't be a bad addition to any meat dish. These taste more sinful than they actually are! I typically use either red or russet potatoes, though I imagine any type would be fine. This can also be made in the microwave for a pretty quick side dish. Since there's only two of us eating, I typically freeze half for another dinner. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:19:21 -0500

I found this on a site called "Tammy's Recipes" and have found it to be a great substitute for canned "cream of" soups. It is different from the others on this site as it is not a dried mix, but an actual condensed soup like Campbell's. I like that you can adjust the amount of salt and fat to your liking, and that it doesn't have any chemical additives in it. I make it with 1% milk and low sodium or homemade broth. It is also cheaper than the canned stuff - I usually make a double recipe and freeze it in 1 and 1/4 cup amounts (10 ounces in each ziplock bag = I "can" of soup). Greasing the measuring cup with pam before putting the soup in makes it easier to pour it out into the bag. I have not tried yet, but I bet you could also make a good Cream of Mushroom with this recipe by using mushroom broth... Anyhoo - thanks to Tammy! One batch makes 2 "cans" worth - I usually double it to make 4 "cans" at a time. -- posted by xtine

6 Differents Dry Rubs

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:22:13 -0500

These are great dry rubs to try before you go out and buy the whole bottle and then find out you don't like them. Most of these ingredients are already in your cupboard. I keep all my old spice jars, wash, remove label and reuse for recipes like these. Dry rubs do not need standing time but can be applied several hours in advance if kept refrigerated. The flavors become more pronounced the longer the rub is on the meat. I prefer sprinkling on and then letting sit out at room temperature for about 15 min. -- posted by Catnip46

Amish Market Oatmeal OAMC

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:30:58 -0500

Amish Market, a specialty grocery store, is a New York City institution. It is an urban foodie haven with an eclectic variety of hard to find ingredients as well as a dizzying array of prepared foods made from the freshest ingredients. A mainstay of their breakfast offering is their creamy and delicious oatmeal which sits in large pots over a water bath and enjoys a cult-like following. Cooked long and slow, their oatmeal is a steaming, hot cup of comfort warming your soul on cold and snowy mornings in the city. I came up with this version after a serious weekend craving for Amish Market oatmeal. The secret is the whole cinnamon stick that infuses the whole pot while it is cooking. My daughter, an oatmeal purist and aficionado as well, happily approved of this, and began requesting it during the week for breakfast. None of us likes instant oatmeal, so I tried freezing it and it reheated nicely. Now we can have slow cooked oatmeal on busy mornings when standing over a stove isn't feasible. It can be made with water, soy milk, or skim milk, but adjust the volume of skim milk to your taste as the texture becomes somewhat runny. My family prefers it with low fat milk, but this can be made with water, skim milk, or soy milk, but adjust the volume of liquid to suit your preference for texture. Our favorite topping is dark brown sugar, cinnamon, but it is delicious with dried cranberries or cherries and walnuts as well. I don't usually measure, so the quantities are approximate. -- posted by Chef #758101

Tropical Chicken (Gluten Free)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:06:21 -0500

From the Gluten Free Club. I don't usu. cook with fruit (bcz of DH), but I do like the flavor of the pineapple. So my DH picked out the pineapple, but liked the rest of it! In the US, we have 20 oz cans of pineapple and that worked fine. I didn't use the stock cube and would sub. shicken stock for the 1/4 C water instead next time. I just realized I read the curry powder wrong and put in almost 1 tablespoon of sweet curry! I would probably do that again, as it wasn't too much. I don't think you need to simmer it for 20 minutes, if you are short on time and you thoroughly cooked your chicken in step 1. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Roasted Winter Squash Soup

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:55 -0500

Pumpkin and winter squash are so nutritious & versatile. I just love them. Rich taste, full of beta carotene, filling but not fattening & inexpensive - gotta love these vegies! Used a Golden Butternut to make this soup last night. It was the first use of our version of Sherry Peppers (habaneros, cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, black peppercorns in dry sherry) - turned out mighty well. I subbed hot pepper & dry sherry into this recipe as Bermuda Sherry Pepper is hard to come by. The squash cooked down to a beautiful thick orange base that did not need pureeing - the carrot bits were soft too but added a bit of texture which was appealing. Keeps well for reheating in microwave without separating too. Posting at request of DN who wants the recipe after tasting. We served with hot fresh Recipe#118283 made with rosemary & sultanas. -- posted by Buster's friend

Both of us are committed to eating healthy MOST of the time (that way, we don't feel as guilty while eating our pizza and wings and downing a couple of adult beverages on the weekends haha). Anywho, I'm on this huge kick right now of using cheap but healthy "fillers" such as beans, brown rice, textured vegetable protein (TVP), and fresh veggies (sometimes all at once!). My favorite home-cooked meals are not only healthy, but provide both of us with large enough portions to feel satisfied, plus "seconds" for the boyfriend, PLUS provide me with a work lunch the following day. If I can freeze half for a future meal, even better. Next time I make these, I'll probably throw in some chopped bell pepper and shredded carrots...that'll give me a couple more tacos, and more veggies! These are very filling. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

If you don't have a zester, prepare the peel to your preference, but be sure to remove as much of the pith as possible.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:35:46 -0500

This bread has the best flavor, appearance and crumb of all the breads I make. Don't rush it, let it fully rise each time. I use a dutch oven (cast iron pot with cover) so I can contain the steam like a commercial oven. You can spray the top with water and sprinkle salt or caraway seeds. I'm still looking for a way to make the crust crispy. Some of the ingredients are by weight, sorry (trust me it's worth it) -- posted by Arnboat

Barbecued Shrimp BLT Sandwich With Lemon Butter Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:39:37 -0500

This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe and it is delicious! I found it again when I was surfing the net - as always, looking for something else, and voila I found it! I had eaten this a long time ago when a friend prepared it for us, my friend left for somewhere in Cuba -- never to be heard of again, more than likely she is very busy trying to build a house for her folks wheeling and dealing, so as to get what she needs -- she doesn't have time to write and then find someone that she trusts to deliver the letter to me! Anyway -- the recipe is truly wonderful! :) Wine pairing: If you're feeling adventurous try a full and oakey Chardonnay from Australia like Rosemount, Petaluma or Lindemans. This dish goes great with a number of the micro brews, such as Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada or the most popular Samuel Adams. -- posted by Manami

Sweet Savory and Spicy Potato Salad

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:17:07 -0500

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes. -- posted by LizP

Pumpkin Bran Muffins

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:33:15 -0500

This is an adaptation of a muffin recipe I found. I reduced the flour and added flax seed for more fiber and omega-3's. I also added spices and pumpkin puree. These are a great fall treat, and convenient if you have leftover pumpkin (those cans are huge!) -- posted by BEmily

A1 Ultimate Guacamole

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:33:44 -0500

I got this recipe from a Mexican guy I met in America. This lives up to expectation, unlike other guacamole's I've tried. This is best eaten straight away but contrary to popular belief you can actually store this in the fridge for a couple of days. Put into a bowl and cover with a very thin layer of olive oil then put cling film over so that it touches the guacamole itself. -- posted by robd16
