No-Salt White Bread

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:34:56 -0500

Very simple white bread recipe for breadmaker (if you're clever you can adapt for oven!) Whole wheat flour could be substituted.

Ww Chicken Tortilla Soup Without the Tortillas

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:27:41 -0500

This is my response to craving mexican food but not being able to have the calories. This soup is very filling and low points- 6 1/2 for the whole recipe. You can control the heat of this recipe by the type of salsa you add- I usually use mild. Whatever heat you choose, it should be fresh salsa so the cilantro and other flavours are strong enough. If you really like it hot, add some chillies! I like to chop the ingredients fairly small for this recipe so you get an even flavour balance in every bite. -- posted by Shuzbud

Chili's Restaurant Salsa Copycat (Todd Wilbur Top Secret Recipe

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:33:59 -0500

I love clone recipes. Making it myself and controlling the ingredients yet having familar taste is so much fun. This is for a red salsa recipe that is a copy cat of the Chili's Restaurant Chain found here in the west and around the country. It is super easy to make and fun to eat. You make it fresh at home and save money while having it whenever you want. Perfect for football parties, games, events, holidays etc This is the real Todd Wilbur Top Secret Recipe from his book "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2" that I own. Other recipes can be found but they lack one ingredient or another. Todd says "If you want to double it, use a 28 oz can diced tomatoes and double the other ingredients. If you need more heat tweek the amount of jalalapenos you use." I hope it adds a kick to your menu. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

This is my new go-to appetizer. I love to serve this in a martini glass, with several cooked shrimp, and a lime slice, around the ring of the glass. It is beautiful and delicious. You can make it as spicy or mild as you like. I usually use a medium salsa, and find it is spicy enough, for most guests. It is wonderfully fresh tasting. -- posted by Always in the kitchen Connie

Spiced Pumpkin Butter

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:47:17 -0500

Pumpkin butter is one of fall's great all-purpose spreads. Spice up breakfast by using it on pancakes and muffins. For a quick appetizer, spread pumpkin butter on toasted bread with slices of your favorite cheese. Experiment with different flavors; add a dash of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of honey. Each serving is 2 tablespoons. I found this recipe in Better Homes and Garden magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Quick, hearty soup with a bit of a kick. Can be made Vegan by omitting sour cream. Tame the spice down by substituting diced tomatoes for the Ro-Tel. I serve the soup with corn chips, but tri-colored tortilla strips add some visual appeal. I like to leave the black beans whole, but you can make it creamy by mashing the beans. -- posted by Chef #1540606

I have also added raisins soaked in rum or Grand Marnier right into the core cavity. I like it with a good vanilla ice cream, but whipped cream is just as yummy. Can easily halve this recipe if needed. This is adapted from Bon Appetit magazine, Oct. 2001. -- posted by Scoutie

Creamy Shrimp and Pasta

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:11:23 -0500

From Prevention. This isn't the most attractive pasta sauce I've ever made, but it sure is yummy! It is a great use for cooked shrimp, which I often find on sale. The original recipe calls for snow peas instead of green beans (add to pan with shrimp, don't boil) and roasted red peppers instead of fresh. I was worried at first that there was too much thyme, but it comes out nicely in the end. -- posted by smellyvegetarian

Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee

Oysters Mexicana

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 10:32:34 -0500

Oysters make a luxurious first course for a special occasion or as part of a celebration buffet. The simple spicy topping in this recipe gives them an extra zing, without detracting from their special fresh flavor. Serving the oysters on cracked ice keeps them cool and holds them in position as well as looking stunning. If you do not want to use ice and don't have special indented oyster plates, place the shells on a bed of rock salt to keep them steady. -- posted by English_Rose

But this method is GREAT and foolproof! NO MESS, easy and you don't hav to watch like a hawk. I'm sure this would work for any kind of rice, but you'd have to adjust time and the amount of water. I'll never do brown rice on the stovvetop again! -- posted by Meredith K.

Ginger Butternut Squash Soup

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:23:57 -0500

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger. -- posted by Lee Hock

Alabama Living Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:52:47 -0500

This recipe comes out of a local electric company magazine. We love hearty soups on the cold, damp days. This recipe fits the bill. Just place everything in the crock pot, go to work, come home to a wonderful soup. This makes a large crockpot of soup. For thicker soups you can use less broth, for thinner soups, use more. The cups measurement for the broth is up to your preference. -- posted by Jellyqueen

Wedding Punch

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:06:57 -0500

I've made this punch for several weddings, parties and showers and it always goes over well! From the 1986 Southern Living Annual Recipes. I haven't made it with champagne, but I am sure it would be delicous that way! Take time to make the ice ring; it really makes the punch perfect! If you need to make a lot of this, you can make the punch up to the point where you chill the base and instead freeze it. I've made enough for 100 people this way with good results. Also, the original recipe calls for a 28-ounce bottle of tonic water. I just always use the full 1 liter bottle. Preparation time includes a swag on how long it takes to make the ice ring. Cooking time is just the time to combine the base, ice ring and carbonated beverage. -- posted by DeniseBC
