Crispy Potato Wings

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:33:05 -0500

Crushed potato chips add salt and crunch to these hard-to-resist wings that provide fried chicken taste without the fuss. Make sure to cook them on a rack to retain their crispness. Experiment with your favorite flavored chips for different tastes. I found this recipe in Cooking Club magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Awesome Sauce Chicken Wings

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:16:51 -0500

I played around with this sauce until I got it just right for me and my husband. I could eat these weekly or more often! I use Splenda brown sugar blend and reduced sodium soy sauce. You can use more brown sugar if you want more sweet. I like the sweet/spicy flavor of this sauce. -- posted by MandyGirl

Asian Fish Steamed in Packets

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:22:29 -0500

Steaming fish in individual packets is not only healthy, it makes cleanup a breeze. The presentation in parchment paper is elegant, but foil works too. The fish cooks perfectly and the result is moist and flavorful! -- posted by CaliforniaJan

Chili Your Way

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:26:59 -0500

This recipe originally came from one of those Gooseberry Patch cookbooks but I added more ingredients and doctored this chili up quite a bit. When I first tried it, it seemed to need more than the original recipe. Here is what I came up with and usually it's a hit. I like to add a little red pepper flakes (not cayenne) cause with the pepper flakes you can play around with the temp of it. I like this on hot dogs too! This is definately one of those recipes that you can eyeball without measuring and fit to your liking! ps- I do not eat venison, but made this recipe using venison and people went even more crazy for it! guess it must taste just as good as the ground beef version? -- posted by D. Rose

Parmesan Chicken

Honey BBQ Pork (Slow Cooker)

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:30:49 -0500

VERY yummy and sweet boneless pork recipe. It comes out almost like pulled pork. Or you can keep it whole. My 15 month old loves it as well. Great as a sand which, or as a main course!! *Note: Honey should not be given to children under 1 years of age. -- posted by Kamden & Alyssas Mommy

Easy Thai Green Curry

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:35:24 -0500

This is one of my favorite curry recipes. It is incredibly easy but tastes like it took hours to make. It's a great starter curry for anyone looking to venture into the world of curry cookery for the first time. This is a versatile recipe; I've made it with both chicken or red meat, so I leave the meat choice up to the chef. -- posted by SarahCKS

BBQ Beef

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:35:45 -0500

We recently invested in a whole brisket for the purposes of making beef jerky. Out of 14 lbs. of untrimmed meaty goodness I ended up with -- 6 pounds of meat suitable for slicing into jerky, a roughly equivalent amount of fat and scraps (which my father's dogs are currently enjoying), and a 2 lb. hunk o' brisket that was too marbled with fat to make good jerky out of. So, instead, I gave it a treatment similar to how I make pulled pork, minus the long soak in the crockpot. -- posted by Cactuscat

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395

Beer & Stilton Stuffed Beef Wellington

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:41:55 -0500

This recipe was designed around two of my favorite things, beer and Stilton. I opted to use Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout as I really like the way it pairs with the cheese, but any sweet strong ale (Belgian Strong, Barleywine, etc.) would work. Likewise, the cheese is the same thing. I love the Colston Bassett Stilton, but any strong bleu would fit the bill. -- posted by Pangaea

Tuna Casserole

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:00:25 -0500

I dont make many dishes that use condensed canned soup as a base. Im not judging, I know that many a good casserole gets thrown together using cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or cream of chicken soup. I just didnt grow up eating many of those casseroles. In fact, tuna noodle is the only casserole I remember eating as a kid, other than mac and cheese. As I learn more about cooking, I find that I generally prefer creating things from scratch, using whole ingredients rather than processed ones. But certainly not always! -- posted by P ROD

Becky's Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:08:03 -0500

I got this recipe from my friend. I have been making chili for years, and recently made her recipe, and my family raved over how delicious it was. I'll never make my old recipe again. Absolutely delicious. The corn is optional but we really like it. Also, I do not cook the celery with the ground beef so it is a little crunchy, which is what I prefer. If you prefer, cook it with the beef and onion. I make this in a large crock pot, but you certainly could do on the stove top. You also can substitute any of your favorite beans for the kidney beans. -- posted by home4my2

From Anne Burrell - chicken thighs braised with mushrooms, onions, and almond puree added to the sauce. It's a richly flavored dish, and I did make a few adjustments. I also used skinless, boneless chicken thighs for this recipe, and they worked fine. She served this over green beans, I chose steamed white rice, and pasta would work, too. -- posted by Recipe Reader

Steamed Taiwanese Meatloaf

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:18:14 -0500

Got this recipe from my friend's mom, who makes it with pork. I haven't tried it with the pork, only turkey. Kids love this recipe - it goes well over rice. Best part is that it takes no time at all to make. On days when I don't have time, I simply mix everything together beforehand, cover it in saran wrap and throw the Corel bowl (which I can put directly into a steamer) into the fridge until 30 minutes before dinner time. To avoid using the chicken bouillon I have tried using chicken broth, but I really see no difference in taste. So I normally just make it using water and skipping the chicken bouillon altogether. -- posted by Fluffkins

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:41 -0500

Healthy Black Bean Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:45 -0500

I always loved enchiladas and played around with this to make it healthy. It's super yummy and very versatile - you can mix it up to your taste. You can make it a day or two in advance and then just pop it in the oven, so it's become my favorite dish to make for new parents. One time saver is you can just substitute a box of mexican-style rice for the rice and seasonings - it will still be great. You can also add more or less cheese to taste. -- posted by Chef #1439823

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79

Who-Dat Stew (Burgundy Beef) With Cornmeal-Thyme Dumplings

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:37:09 -0500

Another winner from NOLA.com! If your fresh thyme made it through the freeze, heres a perfect recipe to showcase this quintessential Louisiana flavor. The recipe is from Southern Livings Glorious Grits by Susan McEwen McIntosh (Oxmoor House, $22.95). I listed the recipe as published, but I did add a 1 T additional Herbes de Provence in the cornmeal dumplings: I think it improved the taste; otherwise, this was a very good recipe, well-thymed for the SuperBowl :-) -- posted by East Wind Goddess

Honey Mustard Baked Chicken

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:24:34 -0500

I found this in a Cookshelf: Chicken cookbook, and tried it, because my hubby loves honey mustard so much. It was a hit! The sauce it actually for 8 pieces of chicken, but we liked extra drizzled on top of the chicken after it came out, so it worked out better for 4 pieces. So if you don't want extra sauce on it in the end, go for 8 pieces of chicken. -- posted by Miss JJ

I put down 2-4 servings but I ate it in one. Sorry!! Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. -- posted by Chumleyathome

Tri-Colour Stuffed Pepper Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:24:31 -0500

Take two frustrating attempts to make a different stuffed green pepper soup and a wonderful blizzardy day and you end up with a soup that mirrors a stuffed green pepper, exactly! There's nothing like dogged determination and lots of time to get something right. I wanted a rich sweet pepper soup that had the delicate flavour of tomatoes and the ability to bite into a meat/rice mixture, just like a real stuffed pepper. This recipe is two parts: first, the Porcupine Meatballs, which can be made a day or two ahead. Then, the Tri-Colour Pepper Soup, which is a stand alone soup that I've been making, and enjoying, for years. If you enjoy a lot of meat, you might want to double the meatball recipe; for our tastes, this is perfect, with 4-5 meatballs served in each bowl. The taste of this soup is quintessential 1950's style Stuffed Green Peppers. If you can tolerate more heat, then jazz it up to your hearts content! This way, you won't find the recipe "too bland", which is how we like it---pure comfort food straight from Leave It To Beaver. Enjoy the meatballs or enjoy the pepper soup, or, enjoy them blended together for the best of all worlds with this stuffed pepper soup! Using the three colours of peppers just adds some fun and depth to it. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

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

Gramma's Chop Suey

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:53:53 -0500

Posting this for safekeeping. It's DH's grammas recipe, made for the first time last night. It's VERY americanized, and no way shape or form authentic chinese, but reminds DH of his childhood and his gramma, so I want to make it from time to time. Just wanted to keep safe for future use. -- posted by Megan's Mommy

Easy Polenta Pizza Appetizer Bakes

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:57:17 -0500

I decided to pair not my ordinary pizza toppings for this polenta pizza appetizer, something a bit fancier than your average sausage crumbles. I simply enjoy the saltiness of anchovies and cheese when paired with the complexity of olives and rosemary. I hope you enjoy. -- posted by The Foodgitive

Kristen's Kickin' Quinoa Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:29 -0500

I was recently sold on quinoa and how awesome it is! Gluten free, an almost perfect protein, easy to prepare, the list goes on! This is a combination of two recipes, one of which I altered. The first is from this site, (#16399, Quinoa-Toasted). The second is from Allrecipes.com (Caron's Kickin' Quinoa Salad), to which I made some changes. We thought it tasted a bit like sushi and loved it! Feel free to add more heat, but this had enough for our family as we've got wee ones. A large portion of the cooking time is cooling time. -- posted by SandwichQueen
