Coconut-Orange Thumb Print Cookies

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:50:48 -0500

Adding this to my holiday cookie trays. Adapted from a recipe in The Seattle Times provided by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. Something wonderful about orange at Christmas. Coconut is always so festive too. The article noted this dough really benefits from resting overnight in the refrigerator so start the day before. Over working this dough seems to make tough cookies - think I'll be using cake flour. Prep time does not include overnight dough chilling. -- posted by Buster's friend

Debbies Apple Pie

Bill Yosse's White House Apple Pie

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:06:30 -0500

Came across this in The Seattle Times. Pie without an exquisite crust is simply not the real thing. They said, "White House pastry chef Bill Yosses' light, flaky pie crusts have earned him the nickname "The Crustmaster" from President Barack Obama." This recipe is adapted from Bill Yosses, White House Pastry chef - hope this version is as good as the one being served in the White House. Note it makes use of lard, the secret of all great pastry. Just in time for prime pie making! Use a good cooking apple for this pie. -- posted by Buster's friend

Classic Thai Peanut Sauce

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:05:16 -0500

This came from my 101 Deep Fryer Recipes cookbook, as a dipping sauce for some kind of Thai meat fritter. The fritter didn't look too appetizing but this sauce is really good and quite simple to make. Yields about 1 cup of sauce. And this delightful sauce is vegan! -- posted by the80srule

Grilled Pineapple, Creamy Nut Date Cheese on Cinnamon Crackers

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:49:51 -0500

This is quick and easy, and a make ahead wonder appetizer. Simple store bought crackers - now I like "Cinnamon Wheat Thins," but there are many other brands. Last time I went to the store, there were 4 different brands, and Whole Foods and other specialty stores carry even more. A creamy cream cheese and nut date filling and topped with sweet grilled pineapple. I often serve these little bites on a dessert tray. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Forgotten Cookies-Diabetic

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:44:36 -0500

I haven't tried this recipe yet but I couldn't pass up posting it because I don't want to lose it and others might enjoy a "legal" cookie recipe. I'm totally guessing at the yield. Zaar is listing the calorie and fat content (mostly fron the nuts) for a dozen cookines. Dividing 12 into that amount breaks down to each cookie having 33.5 calories. If you wish to lower it more just use less nuts. -- posted by Annacia

Mum's Raspberry Bomb

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:54:16 -0500

Raspberries and cream with meringue all frozen together to make mushy fruity creamy heaven! I never can get it just like she does, but its still good none the same. The brandy works well in this and acts more like a flavouring as opposed to a tipple. Simply wonderous, by far the best way to serve raspberries. Thanks Mum! -- posted by robd16

Celery Black Grape and Blue Cheese Potato Salad

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:39:15 -0500

This combination is genius and works incredibly well if I do say so myself! Every element of the dish complements the next. One of those things I make sometimes and live off it for days! Crunchy big chunks of refreshing celery set in blue cheese dressing with the sweetness of black grapes to offset both. The potatoes are a great foil to this and prevent it from being too rich. A great dish to serve at buffets or pot luck dinners Its a cheeseboard lovers dream and looks colourful and presentable too -- posted by robd16

Christmas Cherry Nut Bread

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:59:46 -0500

This is so easy to make as you just put everything, except the cherries, in a bowl and mix it, adding the cherries last. It is so pretty and so good. It is nice with a cup of tea or for giving in a pretty little basket along with some tea. You could put a pretty tea cup in the basket, too. If you like fewer cherries, use the lesser amount; I like more so I use the whole jar. -- posted by Mimi in Maine

Christmas Plum Pudding

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:02:04 -0500

I grew up eating plum pudding at Christmas. We used to scour three states to buy the canned stuff before it got sold out. Then I was given this recipe by a friend, and commercial plum pudding has not crossed my lips again. It is well worth the time it takes to gather the ingredients and make the pudding. -- posted by cookcathy

Wild Rice, Apple and Hazelnut Stuffing

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:21:13 -0500

I made this last year for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Fresh sage and tart apples make this a little different and definitely give it a harvest taste.I substituted walnuts for the hazelnuts. Leaving the peel on the apple gives the stuffing some more color. -- posted by Chef #1120064

Pineapple Oatmeal Pancakes (Gluten-Free)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:44:38 -0500

Oh my gosh these are AWESOME! This can of pineapple on the counter was calling to me, and my husband can't eat wheat, so if I make pancakes they're gonna have oats in them. Plus, the Tahitian Pancakes came up on Heroes in the past week or so, so that's on my mind. I combined two different recipes that I found online, one for pineapple pancakes and one for oatmeal pancakes. Neither one is like this new version though. SO AWESOME! One last thing, I used coconut milk instead of cow milk, since my husband is also on this non-dairy kick. This recipe makes A LOT of pancakes, and they're very filling. Store uneaten pancakes in the fridge and have breakfast all week! -- posted by kitchengrrl

Grapefruit Brulee

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:27:38 -0500

Growing up I never would eat heated cereal. My mother would make me toasted grapefruit with cinnamon and sugar so I would have a warm meal in my belly before leaving for school. I hadn't thought about that in years until I came across a similar recipe in Susie Fishbein's Kosher by Design Lightens Up. -- posted by Feeding my Family

English Apple Chutney

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:49:03 -0500

So good I ate a whole jar in a matter of days! A great way to use sour cooking apples if you have an apple tree in your garden. Its quite simple to make so don't be put off by the long list of ingredients. Granny smith apples work well but don't try and use other common eating varieties of apple as it just won't work. Date syrup is available in larger supermarkets and middle eastern or asian stores, you could use brown sugar but date syrup adds a deeper note that I think makes it special. The result is a mellow, smooth chutney that you could never buy in any store. -- posted by robd16

Mole Poblano Classico -- Classic Mexican Poblano Sauce

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:54:45 -0500

Mole is a rich, dark, reddish-brown and smooth sauce made spicy and robust with a depth of flavor from a creative blend of seasonings that most often includes dried chiles, onion, garlic, and ground seeds (such as sesame or pumpkin (pepitas). But its best-known ingredient is unsweetened Mexican chocolate, which is used sparingly. Mole poblano is the sauce most commonly known outside of Mexico as mole sauce, although there are many different types. Courtesy of the Whole Chile Pepper Book, this classic Mexican sauce is excellent with poultry; serve it over a turkey or chicken breast. It is also terrific as a sauce over shredded chicken or turkey enchiladas. -- posted by Molly53

Rob's Mango and Chilli Chutney

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:12:44 -0500

Adding 1 of the mangoes at the end, means that this chutney retains a superb fresh flavour. Can be left in the fridge for 1 month or preserved and canned for over 1 year (follow the canning notes link on home page) Lovely with Indian or Mexican food or to enhance a cooked meat and cheese platter. Add a spoonful to curries or mix with cold shredded chicken, curry powder and mayonnaise for a lovely baked potato or sandwich filling. Just make sure your mangoes are really ripe and soft. -- posted by robd16

Mango Milk Crush

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:21:46 -0500

A really refreshing and different way to eat mango. I was served this drink on the beach in Rio one time and turned my nose up at it (I'd asked for mango juice and don't really like milk drinks) but I was pleasantly surprised to find how well the sweet creamy milk went down with the loose crushed slippery mango. Don't think of this as a drink though do serve it in a glass. This is more like eating peaches and cream. Fantastic. -- posted by robd16

Connies Apple Cake Recipe

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:14:30 -0500

My mom used to make this during the holidays. A very long time family tradition, been around for many generations. This is a very sweet, rich dessert, moist and a bit crumbly because of the chunks of apples and pecans. Not the 'normal' birthday cake-like texture. Great with a big glass of milk or hot cup of coffee. The mix ends up being very thick and a little stiff to mix, but don't worry... it is totally worth it. Warning: This apple cake is addictive! Thanks Mom :) -- posted by Chef #549456

Sweet Braised Whole Scallions (Molly Stevens)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:55 -0500

This would be a fabulous, easy side dish for Thanksgiving. "As the scallions braise, the sweet anise flavor of the tarragon mingles with their oniony juices, giving the whole dish a candy-like sweetness. If you cant find fresh tarragon, or simply dont care for its taste, substitute fresh parsley or omit the herb altogether. The scallions will still taste delicious." Recipe is from "All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking" by Molly Stevens. -- posted by blucoat

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:44:33 -0500

Smoothies are a great way to get your daily servings of fruit, vegetables and dairy. I have one of these with a veggie-laden breakfast bagel, and another one after dinner. Mixing up which types of fruit you use ensures a great variety of flavors as well as your full range of vitamins, so these things never get old! Try berries for your frozen fruit and something tropical for your fresh fruit, or use cherries and an extra banana with chocolate milk for a treat every now and then. -- posted by Alexander Mar

This is a perennial favorite for Thanksgiving! It's adapted from a recipe for Spiced Baked Apples by Lorraine Chausse on allrecipes.

These are yummy served by themselves or with some vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Heidigal

Maryland Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:53:56 -0500

Another Dixie meal that combines sweet and savoury elements, who would have thought that banana and chicken would work so well together. Everything originally would have been deep fried in batter but I prefer this slightly lighter version. The sweetcorn fritters are a must and can be made whilst the chicken is cooking in no time. I'm not sure if this recipe comes from the state of Maryland, USA but to be honest I don't really care! Satisfying to the very last mouthful. mmmm! -- posted by robd16

Cranberry Cake

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:26:13 -0500

Clients of the company I work for give us fresh cranberries every year at Thanksgiving. this year, I decided to actually DO something with them. I made this cranberry cake several times in one week because we just can't get enough of it. It's sweet with a golden crumb, soft and moist, and dense without being heavy, with juicy explosions of tart cranberries. This is also really easy; it comes together in about 10 minutes. Sometimes, I will cover it in whipped cream, but lately I have been baking it instead with a topping of pecans caramelized in butter and brown sugar. Recipe makes 1 9x13 or 1 10" springform cake -- posted by Jaelini
