Sarasota's Sweet/Spicy Ham Steaks With Fall Fruits

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:11:42 -0500

Easy and quick ham steaks with a spicy glaze. Takes just minutes on a grill pan or even in a saute pan. Serve with some sliced onions and fruit on the side, I like to use pears and apples. This is literally takes 2 minutes to make the glaze, 5 minutes for the ham and 5 for the fruit. Saute some spinach and microwaved sweet potato for 2 quick side dishes. Stuff the potato with some brown sugar and butter and you having an amazing quick dinner. You could easily serve this for company or just a quick midweek dinner. You wouldn't know how quick this meal can be put together -- posted by SarasotaCook

Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:14:34 -0500

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

Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:14:39 -0500

Green Beans With Blue Cheese and Walnuts

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:15:13 -0500

My family likes this recipe a lot, and it's part of our traditional Thanksgiving meal. If you make this ahead of time, wait and add the cheese right before serving, after reheating the beans. You can also serve the beans without the cheese and let guests add cheese when serving. -- posted by KiminyMe

Sunday's Best Rice Pudding (Traditional Style)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:16:07 -0500

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious whether served warm or cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal. -- posted by Rachael Potter

Veggie Nachos

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:21:08 -0500

These nachos are full of protein and fiber and look beautiful to boot. Take it easy on the cheese and make it low-fat. This recipe heats the chips so make use of the chips remaining in the bottom of various bags. My sister and I made this live on my podcast. It's vegetarian and easy and I was surprised there wasn't one like this on 'zaar. This version is fairly quick for two and can be made as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or hot salsa. Enjoy! -- posted by VeggieVal

Fruity Crunchy Yogurt Banana Pops

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:21:47 -0500

My sister clipped this for me either from a family magazine or one of those brand circulars. This looks like a great way to get your kids to eat fruit without them thinking it's fruit. ;) And it's just as adult-friendly as well as kid-friendly! I made a tray of these and couldn't resist, and now I must share it. In addition to a great dessert and snack, they also make a great on-the-go breakfast food that doesn't seem like breakfast food! :) Be sure to have some wooden craft/popsicle sticks handy, you'll need 8 for this. Cook time is freeze time. -- posted by the80srule

Slow-Roasted Two-Temp Garlic Chicken

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:32:55 -0500

This is a great, easy roast chicken that has a crispy skin and tastes incredible! Sometimes, if I have the time, I brine the bird first, use your favorite brine recipe for that. Please use Kosher salt, there IS a big difference. Also, watch your broth, I found that I have to add about another cup so the bird doesn't dry out. I have also added the garlic to mashed potatoes rather than serving the garlic heads with the chicken. Either way, this chicken is a real winner! From Food Network. -- posted by Scoutie

Fabulous Fajitas

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:48:54 -0500

This recipe is based on wonderful fajitas served at a small authentic Tex-Mex restaurant near where I used to live. I have used this with both chicken and steak, flank steak or skirt steak, and it works great. I also mix a batch of the dry spices together and use a tablespoon or so when I make fajitas. The red onions, while not traditional, add a nice color to the fajitaas, but sweet yellow onions are more traditional. Note that the preparation time listed includes time to marinate. -- posted by UrbanDesiMommy

Warming Celery & Carrot Soup

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:15:43 -0500

A smooth and creamy soup with just a little "bite" for those colder days. Cooked in a microwave with not too much labour input beyond preparation of the veg. The basic recipe was a favourite from our old Sanyo microwave cookbook from more than twenty years ago. Note: For more or less "bite", add or take away one tablespoon of the Love Apple Sauce as you desire. If Love Apple sauce is not available a substitute can be made by combining 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup with 1 tsp Jerk Sauce. -- posted by Schemin Demon

Chicken Stew (Mancunian and Economical)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:27:02 -0500

i made this from leftover roast chicken and leftover leek and potatoe soup (vegan), so my measurements are an estimate really, but use your initiative if it needs more water add more etc etc. intermediate cooks will get the idea, also you can add a dash of wine or lemon juice would be nice in this. The old lady (lillian) who we used to look after used to add a tin of campbells condensed chicken soup to her stew, you would do this, one day ill out on her roast chicken casserole and roast pheasent. -- posted by pornstarbarbie

I served this over buttered parsley noodles. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. -- posted by Bellablue

Molten Dark Chocolate Cakes

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:10:25 -0500

From All For You magazine - Sept 2009 The beauty of the ckaes is that their centers stay much softer than the outer layer. To avoid losing their molten interiors, be sure to not overbake them. If that happens, you can still eat them, but the centers will be firm instead of soft. If you are neverous about inverting the cakes, don't do it. You can serve them in their ramekins. - You can prepare the cakes up to a day in advance. Make the batter, spoon it into ramekins, cover each with foil and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve, remove foil and bake cakes for 14 minutes. - Add fruit. You can serve with fresh strawberries, raspberries, cherries or a combo. A simple fruit sauce can be serve (blending a handful of berries agalong with a couple of tablespoons sugar and teaspoon of lemon juice in a blender / food processor, then straining the liquid through a sieve before using. - Serve with whipped cream. Spruce up the whipped cream with few teaspoons of honey or dash amaretto, creme de methe or another favourite liqueur. -- posted by Engelis

Cranberry Orange Holiday Relish

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:11:17 -0500

There are many versions of this basic recipe. This little riff adds a little extra color and crunch to an already delightful side dish that is rich in both flavor and fiber. Add different fruits, and it becomes yet another kind of salad, beautiful in its ruby-redness, especially on a bed of greens. Note: the toasted pecans are nice added the day before serving, but as time goes on, they become less crunchy - but still add a great flavor. This relish can be held in the refrig for a week or so, and can be frozen as well. -- posted by MaryRich

Spanish Potato Tortilla

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:17:12 -0500

Another classic, best served warm or cold at room temperature but never hot. It goes great with summer salads but often I just eat it on its own, picking at it throughout the day. In Spain it is sacrilege to grill the top, you're supposed to flip it over and cook it all over the heat of the hob. I think this causes too many problems and I can't tell much difference in taste anyway. Better to have it neatly turned out onto a plate than try and put the pieces back together I reckon! The olive oil is essential here and really adds something special I think. Don't think of this as an omelette (potato omelette, how boring!) This is a potato dish, and now you shall enjoy :) -- posted by robd16

Gourmet Cabbage Butter - Transform Your Greens!

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:22:20 -0500

This recipe is for a flavoured butter that turns the humble cabbage into a gourmet delight! Seriously, you'll be fighting over the last piece and you'll make sure that you cook double the next time I promise! This is by far the best way to serve cabbage, it is unbelievably good. The recipe is for 250g butter, you can store the rest in the freezer or adjust quantities to suit. The anchovies do not impart a fishy flavour at all and act more like a seasoning, as do the other ingredients. It's hard to put your finger on what the flavour really is, except damn good greens! Serving size is for the whole amount of butter and not for 1 cabbage. You must cook the cabbage according to the instructions set out below. Amazing. -- posted by robd16

This dressing is lovely with cauliflowerets. The color really shows up and the taste is complimentary. It would also be a Christmasy contrast with broccoli florets. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

This fresh salsa is great served with dips and chips and is well worth the effort of all that chopping. It is also fat free, very good for you and really tasty! -- posted by robd16

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:03:28 -0500

Before this soup entered our lives my13 year old son never came within five feet of a vegetable. I cant tell you how shocked I was when he cleaned his entire bowl and asked for seconds! He was eating green beans, celery, peas, carrots, tomatoes, and potatoesI thought his body would go into shock!

Pillow Cookies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:11:08 -0500

I found this in my collection of cookies that I have made in the past for Christmas. I am not sure where the original recipe came from. On the recipe I wrote, "made in '93 - VERY Good!" They are a little labor intensive & I think that is why I don't make them every year. I think I will be making them this year. NOTE: Prep time does not include "resting time" overnight in the refrigerator. NOTE: Estimated yield (can't recall). -- posted by Sweet PQ?

This sounds delicious! I found this recipe while looking for recipes that used cranberries tonight. I found this @ http://www.cranberries.org from the Massachusetts Cranberry Harvest Festival Recipes 1998, Second Place Leslie A. Killian. I haven't made this yet, but I'm keeping it here for everyone to enjoy! I did include the freezing time as part of the cook time. -- posted by SassiFras
