Pat's Do Ahead Party Chicken

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:05:54 -0500

My husband lived on a street where a neighborhood chef would create dishes, then call the neighbors at all hours. They would stumble over in PJs and tast the latest creation. Then he would throw them all out and go to bed. He was famous for this chicken recipe. I found stuffed it in a cookbook, got the story, tried the dish, got the rave reviews, and am sharing because a relative said "FINALLY, a new Chicken recipe!" Don't be afraid to make this for the family dinner for a trial. Great served with steamed rice and roasted brocolli. If you make chafing pans of this, double the recipe here. You can wing the rest to accomodate any size crowd. The muenster holds up well, and if you are not a mushroom fan, just leave them out! -- posted by The Jelly Room

Three-Ingredient Sticky Baked Chicken

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:32:42 -0500

From the Canadian Family Website: Sticky, sweet with a little savory soy sauce, this chicken is pure yummy. Destined to become a family favorite because kids love it and parents love the simplicity of this oven-to-table meal. I had a great result making this with bone in chicken leg thigh quarters. I had one piece that was skinless, and we discovered that using skinless does allow the flavor of the glaze to permeate the chicken better. This was a hit with my whole family - including my hard to please 3 year old. I used ketchup, reduced sodium soy, and lite maple syrup. Ingredients I happened to have on hand. This could NOT be easier. Adjust cooking times as needed for bone in cuts. Great with white rice and steamed broccoli. This recipe is so simple that you will probably have this assembled before your oven is preheated. -- posted by Linda Sue

Crazy Middle Eastern/Indian-Ish Meatballs & Veggie Bake

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:35:02 -0500

I wanted to make something quick and easy for dinner and threw a whole lot of middle eastern/indian ingredients together and came up with a meatball and veggie "thing." The B/F thinks I am kind of a freak because I am able to eyeball ingredients, throw things together, and more often than not it will be edible. However in this case he said "this is one of the best things you have ever pulled out of your, ummm head" (sanitized for Zaar). He then forced me to remember, and write it down so I could make it again. So here it is. I have no idea what to call it. -- posted by Aussie-In-California

Perfect Pork Chops

This recipe is a combination of two good recipes that I've come across in my searches. It was mostly an experiment, but it turned out absolutely delicious. It pleased the picky eater of my family too! I haven't tried the flour mix on any thing else, but I bet it'd be great on chicken or fish. This is the only way I make my fried pork chops now! Also, I tried to write this so that even the worst cook could be successful with it, because I remember what it's like to be inexperienced.

Dean and Deluca's Authentic Bavarian Sauerbraten Pot Roast

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:33:49 -0500

Sauerbraten is, quite simply, the best pot roast that we know of. Though we normally stay away from top round as a braising beef -- because it's so relatively lean -- we like to use it for sauerbraten, which requires intact slices of beef to be served at the table. Top round keeps its shape very well, and, in this dish, comes to the table quite moist -- due to the long marination and the long cooking time. To insure the moistness of the beef, have the butcher leave a thin outer covering of fat around the top round. Serve this deep, dark, sweet-and-sour treat with red cabbage recipe #108449 and boiled new potatoes (salzkartoffel) or spaetzle. Serves 4 -- posted by BecR

Melted Foie Gras on Country Bread With Armagnac

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:19:36 -0500

This fabulous Dean and Deluca recipe was inspired by an extraordinary restaurant near Baden-Baden, in Germany. The chef sautéed thick slices of country bread in duck fat, with garlic, then simply melted very thin slices of fresh foie gras over the bread. Though it's astoundingly simple to do, it's a mightily impressive starter for a lusty dinner party. Serves 4 as a first course. -- posted by BecR

Hometown Buffet Fried Chicken

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:24:02 -0500

I love fried chicken and I rarely get tired of it! There are so many different recipes and frying methods too -- and I love too many to count. This is my reverse-engineering swing at Hometown Buffet's "Hand-Breaded Fried Chicken" (also known as Country Buffet and Old Country Buffet). What I love about their chicken is the addition of corn flake crumbs, as well as their perfect savory seasonings. Never greasy, always crisp-skinned and juicy (I've found the best time to get it is right when they open their doors since it's really fresh)! I usually deep-fry mine, but my grandmother taught me a secret to electric-skillet frying that I'll share with you... However you fry it... you're gonna love it! -- posted by Bazaar®

Monday Supper! Curried Lamb and Chutney Rissoles/Patties

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:13:25 -0500

A tasty and different way to use some of the Sunday Roast leftovers on Monday! Although I have specified lamb in this recipe, beef would also work very well, it's just that I had roast lamb leftovers when I made these. These rissoles are lightly spiced and tangy - perfect for supper when served with salad, pickles, chutneys and maybe a naan bread or pitta bread to make a sandwich. They are easily made and can be prepared ahead of time and left in the fridge, as they hold their shape better when they have been chilled and are firm. These will also freeze very well; open freeze them before frying on a tray or plate until firm and then pack them into freezer bags or a plastic container. They only need about 6 hours to defrost and then are cooked as instructed below.Use curry powder to taste, I use 2 teaspoons as I like mine quite spicy! -- posted by French Tart

This is a recipe from a collection of Amish Recipes published by a restaurant in Northern Indiana called Das Dutchman Essenhaus.

Do not sub fat free or low fat mayo as it will change the taste of the recipe. -- posted by LARavenscroft

Elk Stew Bourguignon

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:26:21 -0500

This is a delicious rich-tasting stew that can also be made with beef, venison or a combination of meats. The juniper berries really enhance the flavour so it is worth trying to find them. I found my dried juniper berries at a health food store. They are very strong so it's best to discard them (along with the bay leaf) as you find them in the finished dish. This tastes even better cooked a day or two in advance and re-heated. It also freezes well. I adapted this from a recipe on a pamphlet I picked up from an elk farmer near Ottawa. Elk is very lean and also very tender when cooked slowly on low heat (or quickly on high heat). It is very low in calories, fat and cholesterol and high in protein. Hints: I cook a batch of bacon in advance and keep in the freezer to add at the end. Browning the meat is key to the rich flavour. -- posted by Cathy 41

Classic Chicken Tenderloin

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:46:45 -0500

Turkey Enchilada Casserole

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:06:32 -0500

I like this as comfort food - it isn't gourmet, but it is easy to make, and I like the taste of it pretty all right, especially when I am in the mood for Mexican. The key to this recipe is getting GOOD enchilada sauce - you won't be happy with the normal, Americanized El Paso brand, etc. Go to the Mexican food aisle and get some of their sauce. Additionally, good corn tortillas are also very, very important, and the cheaper ones are rubbery (mission brands aren't good). All spice amounts are general, and should be modified to taste ( you should start with less and build the sauce up to the taste you like with these seasonings). This will be pretty mild as suggested, I would start with what is below and build from there. -- posted by larchie

Propah Eastend Pie, Mash and Licqour

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:44:01 -0500

I'm an Essex girl by birth and an Eastender by heritage, so pie mash and licquor was a childhood treat. You can imagine my horror upon moving to Kent to find that no one outside of London has even heard of the dish, let alone tasted it. So I languished for years without. Sure, I could just get a meat pie and somemash, but normal meat pies are not the same, and the licqour is just impossible. Fortunately, through much experimenting my Mum and I now have a suitable substitute that tastes as good (or bad!) as the real thing! -- posted by Bunny Mazonas

Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings (Made Easy)

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 01:11:20 -0500

When I was growing up, one of my favorite comfort foods was my maternal grandmother's chicken and dumplings. "Nana" would stew her chicken and debone it, strain the broth (seasoned with fresh rosemary from her garden), roll her own biscuit dough, then drop hand-cut, flour-rolled dumplings into her broth. It was a lot of work, but she always seemed to have it on the table in minutes! She usually made it when I was sick or not having a great day (my mom too). It's one of those ''little things" my mom and I remember fondly. This recipe is my adaptation of Colonel Harland Sanders' personal gravy and dumpling recipe, which I've brought a little closer to Nana's... made a lot easier! PLEASE NOTE: THIS RECIPE HAS BEEN REVISED SINCE THE ORIGINAL POSTING, AFTER CHEF #1523855'S REVIEW. DOUBLING THE BROTH WAS MY SOLUTION (AS I'VE DONE HERE). IT GIVES MORE BROTH TO COOK THE DUMPLINGS IN (Thank you, Chef # 1523855). YIELDS ABOUT 5 SERVINGS. -- posted by Bazaar®

I have modified Ree's recipe slightly by increasing the carrots, celery, and adding chicken base to this recipe and omitting the salt because of the saltiness of the chicken base. I also doubled the amount of flour for thickening based off my own experience and preference. Please feel free to modify it based off your own preferences.

Vinyl Lager Crock Roast

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:11:58 -0500

I bought a six pack of Magic Hat's spring seasonal (Vinyl), and loved it so much I wanted to cook with it. Since I normally use deep, dark beers (like Guinness) to cook, and usually only for beef or vegetable stew, this was a bit of an experiment. All day, my apartment smelled AMAZING. Since I had to buy a three pound roast (the grocery store seems to only have VERY large roasts), and I'm only cooking for two people, this made a LOT of leftovers. I don't usually measure anything, so I'm guessing on a lot of this. Adjust everything to your taste. As for the veggies, I used two small white potatoes, 1/4 of a large vidalia onion, and about 1/2 cup of sliced carrots. Use what you like! The blend of spices is my usual go-to blend, again... use what you like. Recipes are made to be adapted! -- posted by IndinaMarie

The meat in this stew is the most tender I have ever had. This recipe is a combination of two that I put together, one which I liked the cooking technique and the other that I liked the flavor of.

A Better Marzetti

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:25:23 -0500

Had never heard of Johnny Marzetti until recently stumbling on his recipe in some newspaper website. Actually, research shows Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was the source of this great comfort food dish back in the 20's (..is it still there?). Have seen ingredients of several versions of this dish here, but none with all these great ingredients. This is an ultimate comfort food that is even better at the second and third sitting. I think that the sausage and Italian cheese blend is key to success of this rendition. Dish is great with a nice green salad. -- posted by ebbtide

After she mixed everything together she warmed the soup in the microwave. Since I didn't want to dirty up alot of dishes, I just decided to heat everything on the stove top. If you want to follow the exact recipe, and have that particular cookbook the recipe is on page 101.Serve with crackers or even a grilled cheese.

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

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

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
