Quintessential Classic Quiche Lorraine

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:16:36 -0500

This old standby still reigns at Paris sidewalk cafes and bistros. If you are looking for a a creamy custard style Quiche Lorraine, this will make you & your tummy very happy. I made my husband and guests very happy! Be sure to follow the suggestion mentioned to prevent a soggy crust while baking. It REALLY works! You can use a 9" pie plate or 10" tart pan with removable bottom. This recipe hails from Joyce White, Chicago Tribune, January 2010. -- posted by Chicagoland Chef du Jour

Rachael Ray's Mexican Pizza

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:59:23 -0500

This is from the Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. It's very delicious and also versatile. You can add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. The recipe says to use a regular baking sheet for this, but I prefer to use a pizza baking sheet to make it look more pizza-like. -- posted by andrea.e

Solo Chicken Mushroom Pilaf

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:03:52 -0500

There is usually just enough flavorful liquid in the final dish to prompt me to eat this with a spoon. The natural flavoring of the mushrooms is similar to MSG and when paired with the sweetness of sauted onions, that was enough flavor for me. However Cooking is a Creative Sport, so feel free to add spices. -- posted by Bill Hilbrich

Cherry Chicken Salad Sandwich

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:24:20 -0500

This recipe is my version of a local restaurants sandwich. I've made this for myself using the frozen cooked chicken breasts and it has turned out very well. I also made a huge batch for a bridal shower. I mixed it in my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer; it ended up as more of a paste consistency and I had to add more mayo and buttermilk but it was still raved about. For the shower I served it on Hawiian sweet dinner rolls. -- posted by connaidysmom

Mediterranean Barley Salad

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:07:25 -0500

I created this dish in an effort to find something I can pack and bring to work for lunch that will keep me feeling full. Nothing undoes the hard work of eating a healthy diet quicker than a growling tummy. Studies have shown that barley contains dietary fiber that can slow glucose absorption and control blood sugar levels. Ive used it as the base for the dish along with nutrient-packed veggies and lean protein. I suggest serving the salad at room temperature. -- posted by Diet It Up

Eggplant Pizza

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:34:21 -0500

In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto. -- posted by California Girl in Brazil

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:14:29 -0500

This is from the December 2009 edition of Chatelaine magazine.It is a very versatile recipe as you can change the ingredients to your liking. It says to add the flax seed at the end but I put it in before I bake it,either way is fine.I omitted the salt and added vanilla extract along with the almond extract.I usually half this recipe and make 4 cups instead of 8.I use a combination of sunflower seeds,almonds and walnuts. -- posted by LuuvBunny

Easiest & Tasty Vegetable Quiche

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:29:52 -0500

This is one of a number of quiche recipes I use, but nothing's faster than this particular one. It's made with any type of cheese, or a mixture of leftover cheeses; with spinach or broccoli, or whatever is in the freezer. The vegetable soup mix has all the seasonings and adds nice spots of color, too. (Not sure if the Knorr soup is 1.25 oz, but I had to have a measurement or it couldn't print.) -- posted by Not So Good Cook

Accidentally the Best Baked Chicken Nuggets Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:29:57 -0500

Accidentally discovered this while playing around with Chinese restaurant classics. My nugget-expert daughter loved them. I use the marinade from http://www.recipezaar.com/Sweet-and-Sour-Pork-43587 (minus the extra salt) and the flouring and baking technique from http://www.recipezaar.com/Baked-Lemon-Chicken-With-Chinese-Lemon-Sauce-194890. The chicken works great with either sauce but my picky kid just loved the chicken by itself. Infact she liked it so much I had to post the recipe. All measurements are approximate; vary the spices based upon your own taste. -- posted by Jes32

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:39:13 -0500

a great way to enjoy chicken wings without the mess. great served with celery or tortilla chips for dipping. I like to use a crock pot to keep this dip warm during parties, just mix everything up on the stove than transfer to the crock pot or you can use a electric fondue pot on warm too. If you don't want to use those then separate into small batches in oven safe dishes so you can keep the dip warm. Not sure where the recipe came from, everyone I know has their own spin for it. -- posted by Chef ChristinaMac

Peach & Pear Muffins

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:16:08 -0500

This recipe was designed in answer to a request from my son for crocodile muffins. The pear skins are the crocodile skin, the peaches are the eyeballs and the butterscotch chips are the teeth. My version is wheat, egg, and (almost) dairy free, but feel free to switch it up and use eggs and milk if you prefer. I haven't found dairy free butterscotch chips, so you could leave them out of the recipe if you needed to. There is no added sugar in this recipe because the fruit and butterscotch are plenty sweet. -- posted by DiabeticMom

Salmon Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child)

This recipe can also be made with seafood. This is how I make it using canned salmon. The pastry crust is optional.

Chicken Salad

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:27:55 -0500

An easy throw together chicken salad that has the right amount of crunch from the fresh vegetables. Great for brunches, wedding/baby showers, or any picnic & get togethers. This salad goes great with Whole Wheat Ritz crackers or on toasted Rye bread! Chicken can be left chunky if preparer would prefer it that way. I feel the chicken stays better on the cracker/toasted bread if ground up a little bit. Can be served after chilling for a few hours or made a day ahead and chilled over night. -- posted by Mrs. Kristin

We make our burger patties from scratch rather than buying the pre-made supermarket variety, as they're too salty for me.

Elegant Tarragon and Tomato Butter Tea Sandwiches

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:56:30 -0500

These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter. -- posted by French Tart

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!).

I LOVE avocados, especially the black Haas avocados. They're creamy and have such a "buttery" taste, and yet are cholesterol-free. This recipe makes a really delicious sandwich. When I make it for the kids, I eliminate the cumin, but add it when I'm making a sandwich for myself -- I like cumin's very mild spicy flavor that has a hint of caraway in it. -- posted by TasteTester

Great Hamburger Patties

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:01:09 -0500

I bet I have tried close to a hundred different variations of hamburgers. DH likes things pretty plain (as in only cheese and ketchup on his burger) so our patties have to have enough flavor to stand up (almost) on their own. I like that they've got good flavor but aren't too much to detract from the rest of the stuff on my burger (I happen to be the exact opposite of DH!). -- posted by Melanie2590

Incredible Tangy Tuna Steak With Cous Cous and Yellow Pepper

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:48:03 -0500

This is a lovely dish, if I do say so myself, it's refreshing for a hot summers day when you just can't stand to eat another salad, but don't have the energy to rustle up a hotpot or casserole. This is my own recipe. It's definately an easy luxury. This serves 2, just double up and if you want to make up more of the sauce, it turns out kind of like Salsa, so could be handy to have in for with other meals. Also great with Chicken & Pork. -- posted by JinxTheCat

Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Snap Peas, and Feta

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:51:49 -0500

A delicious pasta that I threw together using some of the leftovers from another very tasty dish: http://www.recipezaar.com/Chicken-Breast-Stuffed-With-Feta-Cheese-Sundried-Tomato-and-Re-17962. My directions are not exactly precise since most of it is according to taste. However, if you have a little experiencing cooking, and taste everything as you go, this is really simple to make. The sweetness of the snap-peas go really well with the saltiness of the feta, and the sun-dried tomatoes meld it all together. Yum! -- posted by Chef #1413665

Low Fat Skinny Cow Chocolate Cake & Sauce

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:55:46 -0500

I have JUST eaten this, I made it out of next to nothing, just things I had in. It is low fat - Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate Powder and Skimmed Milk, no Butter etc... And it tasted great! Makes a 3x8 rectangular tray. Crispy on the outside but moist inside it is like a brownie cake... though not quite as good! -- posted by JinxTheCat

Vegan Dlt (Dulse, Lettuce, and Tomato) Sandwiches

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:08 -0500

Dulse is a delicious and very nutritious sea vegetable. Its salty flavor and crispy texture make it an excellent substitute for bacon in this sandwich with much less sodium and fat than the "real" thing. -- posted by Prose
