Roxy's Sauce Piquante

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:29:56 -0500

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'

Crock Pot Ground Beef Minestrone Soup

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:07:48 -0500

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

Quick and Easy - but Delicious - Jambalaya!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:24:42 -0500

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'

Cranberry Zucchini Muffins

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:38:49 -0500

I made this recipe based on one of Martha Stewart's recipes. I love cranberries in baked things...the tartness of them. Delicious!! 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

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

Super Thin Pizza Dough

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:59:51 -0500

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

This is something I whipped up last night in my attempt to eat healthier! This makes a soup that very thick with vegetables and leaves you feeling full and satisfied. If you want a soup that is thinner just add more broth. This would be a great soup for a brunch or dinner party as it can be completed and left to simmer until you are ready to serve. -- posted by mama's kitchen

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

Chile Cornbread Stuffing

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:01:55 -0500

This cornbread stuffing is loaded with vegetables and Mexican flare that make this stuffing taste like it took hours to prepare. The truth is something far simpler. Toasting the hominy, corn and chiles before mixing the stuffing gives them a meaty, robust texture and a concentrated flavor that transforms plain stuffing into a nutritious and delicious whole-grain side dish.

This may be the most delicious pumpkin bread recipe I've ever baked. I came up with this for my brother's 18th birthday and it has been devoured in just two days. I believe the applesauce in the recipe is what makes it so ooey-gooey moist. It's also low in fat as the applesauce replaces the oil that would normally be used. The recipe makes two loaves, one of which can be frozen or given to a friend. -- posted by EntirelyEmily
